          Orders
          If  you continue  to  use  BootIt NG  beyond  30  days, you  must
          purchase  a  full-use  license for it.  It is illegal to continue
          using BootIt NG beyond 30 days without a  full-use  license. Once
          you  have   purchased  a   full-use   license   the  software  is
          considered  registered .

          You can purchase  the  full-use  license  on-line by clicking  on
          the Purchase  link at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com or you can
          use  the order form  included on page  35 and in  a separate file
          named  REGISTER.TXT .

          Limitations
          BootIt NG relies  on the BIOS for  processing disk functions.  If
          your computer BIOS limits access to the hard drive for any reason
          and  no Master Driver Table (MDT)  driver is available to correct
          the  limitation,  BootIt NG  will  also  be  limited.  BootIt  NG
          supports BIOS  LBA Mode  and Interrupt  13h extensions.  The BIOS
           large  mode is not supported.

          System Requirements

          100% IBM-compatible personal  computer with an  i80386-compatible
          microprocessor,  16MB  RAM,  VGA,  diskette  drive,  and  a  BIOS
          accessible hard drive.

          Before You Begin

          TeraByte Unlimited has  taken every effort to  make BootIt NG  as
          safe as possible;  however, it is not  possible to provide  a 100
          percent guarantee of safety.

          It is extremely  important that you do  not use any  partitioning
          software (such as FDISK)  if you are  not limiting the number  of
          primary partitions  (Limit Primaries Option). If  you ignore this
          warning you are taking a serious risk of data corruption.

          Before using BootIt NG on any system for the first  time, BACK UP
          ALL DATA on ALL HARD DRIVES. It s better to be safe than sorry.

          It s always a good idea to have a system disk, such as a DOS boot
          diskette or  Windows 95 Startup  Diskette, which  can be used  to
          boot your  system  should something  ever  go wrong.  You  should
          configure the diskette  to give you all the functionality you may
          need. This includes  adding any drivers or  utilities as well  as
          configuring the configuration files.

          To create a  DOS boot diskette, use the DOS  FORMAT A:/S command.
          You  should also  copy  the following  external  commands to  the
          diskette: SYS, FDISK, FORMAT, ATTRIB, and DEBUG. If you think you
          may need  access to your CD  ROM drive or another  device then be
          sure  to  copy the  required  drivers  to  the diskette.  Windows
          95/98/ME users can  use the  Startup Disk  tab (in Control Panel,
          Add/Remove Programs) to create the diskette.

          BootIt Next Generation                                          7

          STEP 1: Make the Boot Diskette


          Installation  of BootIt NG is a  two-step process. First you will
          create  the installation  diskette, and  then you  will  use that
          diskette  to  install  BootIt  NG   to  your  hard  drive.  Visit
          www.terabyteunlimited.com  to  make  sure  you  have  the  latest
          version  of   this  software  as  well  as   for  any  additional
          information and help.

          The  BOOTITNG.ZIP package  will  only contain  the 3.5"  diskette
          image.   If  you   need   the  5.25"   disk  image   then  visit:
          http://www.terabyteunlimited.com
          Before beginning the installation of BootIt NG make sure you have
          read the previous section titled  Before you Begin  (see page 5).

          The following instructions will guide you through the first  step
          of the  installation process. This step  creates the installation
          diskette.   Windows  users   may   use  the   File  Manager   and
          Win9x/ME/NT/2k users  the Windows  Explorer to execute  the steps
          listed.

          You  will need  one formatted  diskette that  matches  the floppy
          drive  A: of the computer that will  have BootIt NG installed. If
          you are installing on multiple machines, each machine should have
          its own diskette (and license).
           1)  Extract the BOOTITNG.ZIP file to its own directory.
           2)  Change to the directory used in step 1.
           3)  For non-Linux users:

               Type BOOTITNG then press <enter> or Windows users can double
               click on BOOTITNG.EXE.

               For Linux users:

               If you accept the license agreement  then you can use the dd
               command  to create  the diskette.  To do  so, make  sure the
               diskette is  NOT mounted and you are  signed on as root then
               type:
               dd if=DISKIMG3.DAT of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024
               You  can now skip the rest of  the steps in this section and
               proceed with  Installation STEP 2"
           4)  If you have accepted the terms, select  the correct diskette
               drive from the  menu and press <enter>. You will be prompted
               to insert the diskette and press enter when ready.
           5)  Insert the  diskette in  to the  correct diskette  drive and
               press enter. After  about a  minute it  will confirm  either
               that  the  installation diskette  was  created  or that  the
               diskette is bad.
           6)  If the diskette  was bad, get a  new formatted diskette  and
               repeat the  appropriate steps; otherwise,  you re done  with
               step one.

          Once you have successfully created the installation diskette, you
          can proceed with step two on the next page.





          BootIt Next Generation                                          9

          STEP 2: Install to Hard Drive

          The following instructions will guide you through the second step
          of the installation process. This step installs BootIt NG to your
          hard drive.

          Boot from the Installation Diskette
          1)   Make  sure your  system boot  up sequence  is A:/C:  and not
               C:/A:. This  information is  found in  the  CMOS setup.  You
               should also disable the boot sector virus protection option.
               If you leave  the virus  protection option  enabled then  it
               will just get in the way.
          2)   Shut down and turn off your computer.
          3)   Insert the BootIt  NG installation diskette in your A: drive
               then turn on your computer.
          4)   If your system  boots up as  it normally does,  see step  1,
               otherwise BootIt NG will start to load from the diskette.

          If you are upgrading a prior version of BootIt 2.x/Lite/Direct or
          an  existing  installation  of   BootIt  NG  then  skip   to  the
          appropriate section below.

          New Installations
          1)   At the Welcome to setup prompt click the OK button.
          2)   Setup  gives  you  the  option of  enabling  more  than four
               primary partitions.
               a. If you choose yes then you must only partition  your hard
                 drives using BootIt NG.
               b.  If you choose no then you  can continue to use any other
                 partitioning software such as FDISK.
          3)   Setup  asks if you want to  manually choose the partition or
               have  setup choose it for you.  You should normally click on
               yes to have setup choose the partition for you. If you click
               on no then you will have to perform a manual installation.
          4)   Setup  asks if  you want  to install  BootIt NG  to  its own
               partition.
               Installing  BootIt   NG  to  its   own  partition   requires
               unpartitioned space and takes up one primary partition which
               could be  an issue if  you chose not  to enable support  for
               more than 4 primary partitions.
               Click  on  your  choice.  If setup  can t  accommodate  your
               choice, it will notify you later and  give you the option to
               change it.
          5)   Setup indicates  it has all the information  it needs. Click
               OK to begin copying files to the hard drive.
          Upgrading from Previous BootIt Products
          When you  install BootIt NG  over the  top of an  existing BootIt
          product, it will use your existing partition and volumes names.

          For  BootIt  2.x users,  setup  will also  upgrade  your existing
          AutoMenu file to be the  default   menu in BootIt NG. Items  that
          boot to a volume are not updated and you must recreate them.




          BootIt Next Generation                                         10

          For  BootIt Lite users, a new  menu will be automatically created
          but you must reconfigure the menu to boot your existing groups or
          special  configurations. Multi-OS  volumes are  not supported  in
          BootIt NG.

          1)   At the Welcome to setup prompt, click the OK button.
          2)   Setup  asks if you want to  manually choose the partition or
               have  setup choose it for you.  You should normally click on
               yes to have setup choose the partition for you. If you click
               on no then you will have to perform a manual installation.
          3)   Setup indicates it has  all the information it  needs. Click
               OK to begin copying files to the hard drive.

          For BootIt  Lite users,  after installation and  reboot, activate
          the  Multi-OS option  from the  Partition Work  utility for  each
          primary  partition  that  you  need  to  use   groups  on.  Then,
          reconfigure the Boot Menu to use your existing groups.

          Manual Installation
          During  setup you are asked if  setup should choose the partition
          or if  you want to  manually choose  it. Normally you  should let
          setup  choose the  partition but  here  are the  instructions for
          manually choosing the partition.

          1)   When  you click  on the  No button  to indicate you  want to
               manually choose  the partition, a message  is displayed that
               indicates  you  must ensure  that  an  Extended Master  Boot
               Record (EMBR)existsonHD0and onthedrivechosenforinstallation.

               Click OK to close that message.

          2)   The  Work with  Partitions  dialog is  displayed with a  new
                Setup  button in  the lower right corner.  The setup button
               will  only   appear  if   you ve  entered  the    Work  with
               Partitions  dialog during setup.

               From this dialog you must ensure that HD0 has an EMBR:

               a.   Make sure the HD0 radio button is clicked
               b.   If the Create EMBR button is enabled then click on it
                    and it will change to Undo EMBR that means the EMBR
                    exists for HD0.
                    If  the partition you re going to  create or use is not
                    on  hard drive 0  then you must also  create an EMBR on
                    that drive by:
                    1)   Making sure  the radio  button of  the HD  you are
                         installing to is clicked.
                    2)   If the Create EMBR button is enabled then click on
                         it.

               Now  that  the  EMBR exists  where  it  needs  to,  you  can
               highlight the partition for installation. It must  be a FAT,
               FAT32, or EMBRM  type of primary  partition. If one  doesn t
               exist, you can create and format it at this time. (EMBRM, or
               the Extended  Master Boot  Record Manager, is  the partition
               where BootIt NG is installed and active.)

               If the  setup button  is grayed out  then it means  that HD0
               does not  have an EMBR, the  current drive does not  have an
               EMBR, or the  partition you highlighted is not a FAT, FAT32,
               or EMBRM type.

               If the  setup button is not  grayed out then click  on it to
               continue with setup.

          3)   Setup  indicates it has all the  information it needs. Click
               OK to begin copying files to the hard drive.

          Finishing up Installation
          1)   Create a copy of  the installation diskette and keep it in a
               safe  place.  You will  need  the  installation diskette  to
               recover  from any problems  or situations that  may arise in
               the future.  Use  the  disk  copy feature  of  one  of  your
               operating systems  to create a backup.  If your installation
               diskette is ever updated or a new one used you should update
               your backup diskette also.
          2)   If your BIOS has the ability to  change the boot sequence to
               C:/A: it is recommended that you change it to  boot from the
               C: drive  first. If you have  a CDROM drive you  may want to
               setup  the sequence  to be  C/CDROM/A for  use of  the  Next
               Device  option.

          BootIt NG Overview for First-Time Users

          To  understand BootIt  NG, lets  first see  how your  system boot
          process  normally works,  and then  what BootIt  NG and  the EMBR
          changes.

          The first  sector of your  hard drive is  called the  Master Boot
          Record or MBR. The MBR contains two things: a table that  defines
          the partitions on  your hard drive  (called the partition  table)
          and the code to  transfer control to the first sector (called the
          boot sector) of  one of the partitions.  The partition table  can
          contain up to  four entries. Each  entry contains information  on
          where the partition begins and ends as well as a flag to mark the
          active (or bootable)  partition and the type of file system being
          used in the partition.

          When control  is given to  the code in the  MBR, it will  look at
          each of the four partitions for the one that is marked active. It
          will load the  boot sector of that partition and transfer control
          to the boot sector code.

          Boot sectors are operating and file system specific. The area for
          the code in the boot sector has  just enough space to look for  a
          certain file, read  it in and  transfer control. The name  of the
          file is  hard coded in  the boot sector  code. For instance,  the
          boot sector for MS DOS will look for a file called IO.SYS.

          There  is a special type of  primary partition called an extended
          partition.  This type  of partition  contains logical  partitions
          called volumes.

          What the Extended Master Boot Record (EMBR) specification does is
          extend the function of the current MBR type of processing.

          The  EMBR contains  a block of  code called  the EMBR  Loader and
          three tables; one  for partition information,  one for boot  file
          information, and one  for information on drivers that may need to
          be loaded  on your system. Each of these tables can contain up to





          BootIt Next Generation                                         13

          255  entries.  Only  the  table  with  partition  information  is
          discussed here.

          The  table in  the EMBR  that  contains partition  information is
          called the  Master Partition Table or MPT.  It is used instead of
          the partition table. BootIt NG allows you to create boot items in
          which you choose  partitions from the MPT and place them into the
          partition table on  the fly (See Figure 1). Operating systems and
          utilities  only see what is placed  into the partition table. (At
          some point  when an operating  system is loading it  will look at
          the  MBR  partition  table  and  assign  access  to  any  of  the
          partitions/volumes it recognizes.) Therefore, you  cannot use any
          utilities that  will  expand  or  move a  partition  if  it  only
          recognizes the  MBR partition table.  The only  time you can  use
          such  a utility  is when  you have  the  Limit  Primaries  option
          enabled in BootIt NG.

          Using BootIt NG

          The following shortcut keys work with most dialogs in BootIt NG:
          Esc: Cancel, F1: Help, F10: OK/Close/Apply, Ins: Add/Create/Fill,
          Del: Delete/Clear.

          For the desktop:
          Alt-S: Settings,  Alt-E: Boot  Edit, Alt-W: Partition  Work, F10:
          Resume, Alt-B: Backup, Alt-R: Restore

          The Boot Menu
          There are two types of  boot menus. The  Normal Boot  Menu  which
          displays  the specific   boot items   configured  for it  and the
           Direct Boot  Menu  which  displays all partitions  which haven t
          been disabled.  You will normally  want to  use the  Normal  Boot
          Menu   especially If you have enabled  support for more than four
          primary partitions.










          The  Normal  Boot Menu

          The   Normal   Boot  Menu   ( Boot  Menu )   displays  the  items
          configured for it. All you need to do is double click an entry to
          boot from it.

          The menu  is setup by clicking the Maintenance button on the boot
          menu then clicking the  Boot Edit  button or  Boot Menu  from the
          edit  menu to display the Boot Menu  dialog. The name of the menu
          being edited is displayed in the title bar.

          From  this dialog  you can  rearrange the order  of the  items by
          using the  Move Up  and  Move Dn  buttons, create a new menu item
          by clicking  on the  Add  button,  Edit an existing menu  item by





          BootIt Next Generation                                         15

          highlighting  it and clicking on the   Edit  button, or delete an
          item by highlighting it and clicking on the  Delete  button.

          If you click the  Add or Edit buttons you are taken  to the  Edit
          Menu Item  dialog. The fields on that dialog are defined below:


          Boot Details

          Name:     This  is the  name that  will be displayed  in the
                    boot menu.

          HD:       The  hard drive  number  starting at  zero of  the hard
                    drive containing the partition/volume to boot.

          Boot:     The name of the partition or volume to boot.

          Group:    For Multi-OS partitions this is the group to use.

          MBR Files:For  non Multi-OS partitions  this is the captured
                    MBR file  to use,  if any.  MBR  Files are  rarely
                    needed or used.

          Sound:    The name of  the sound file  to play when this  item is
                    booted.

          Floppy Drive: Boot from a floppy drive.

          Swap:     Enable swapping when booting this item.

          Next BIOS Device: Boot from the next BIOS device.

          Default:  Make this item the default.


          One-Time Options

          These options operate  the same as the  Boot Details  section but
          are turned off after being used.

          Keystrokes

          This option  will allow you  to enter up  to 15 keystrokes  to be
          played back when  booting this item. The keystrokes  are buffered
          and carried forward as if you had typed them in yourself.





          BootIt Next Generation                                         16

          MBR Details
          This  is  the area  where  you  indicate what  partitions/volumes
          should  be hidden/unhidden and where each  partition should be in
          the MBR partition  table when booting this option. At minimum the
          boot partition must be  loaded  to the MBR (See Figure 1). To add
          partitions to the MBR Details  list, highlight the position, then
          click on the fill button or press the insert key.

          You  can also use the volumes  button to hide individual volumes.
          To do so, highlight an extended partition from the list and click
          the  volumes button. You  should take care  to not hide  the last
          FAT/FAT32  volume as  DOS thru Windows  98 has a  bug that causes
          problems  mounting partitions if  the last volume  of an extended
          partition is not a recognized FAT or FAT32 partition.

          The Direct Boot Menu
          From the Direct Boot  Menu all you need to do is  double click an
          entry to boot from it. The Active, Swap, Hide columns of the menu
          indicate the setting for that  partition/volume unless partitions
          are not limited.  If partitions are not limited then booting from
          the Direct Boot  Menu will only make  the partition being  booted
          visible; all other partitions will be hidden.




















          The active  column indicates if  the partition  or volume is  set
          active. Most of the time the active primary partition on HD0 will
          be the C: drive. When  you are installing a new  operating system
          to a  new  partition  you  should normally  make  sure  that  the
          installation partition is set  active or the installation  may go
          to  some other partition  that is marked active.  You can use the
          space bar to set the active partition.

          The Swap column  indicates if the hard drive being booted will be
          swapped with  HD0. In other words, if you boot a partition on HD1
          (the second hard drive)  with the swap option on, then  BootIt NG





          BootIt Next Generation                                         17

          will  swap that hard  drive with HD0  so that HD1  is now HD0 and
          (the  real) HD0 is now HD1. You  should note that the swapping is
          done at  the BIOS  level and  once an  operating system  boots in
          protected  mode it  may ignore  the BIOS,  in effect  undoing the
          swap. You can use the F4 key to cycle though the options for this
          column or use the item menu.

          The Hide column indicates how and what partitions will be hidden.
          You can  use the F6  key to cycle  though the options  or use the
          item menu. The options for this column are Auto, All, None, Some,
          As-Is. When set  to anything other than As-Is, volumes are always
          unhidden.  Auto   mode lets BootIt NG  determine which partitions
          to hide automatically. If set to  All  then all partitions except
          the boot partition  are hidden.  None  indicates that none of the
          existing partitions  should be hidden.   Some  hides all  but one
          primary partition  per  hard drive.   As-Is   does no  hiding  or
          unhiding of partitions or volumes.

          When booting  from the floppy  diskette or  next BIOS device  the
          swap and hide options are determined by the active partition.

          To use  the next device option to boot from your CDROM drive, you
          should set your  BIOS boot sequence to have the CDROM immediately
          after the hard drive.

          The Floppy Boot Menu
          The floppy boot  menu appears  when you boot  with the BootIt  NG
          installation  diskette after  BootIt NG  has been  installed. The
          menu has the following options:




















          Reactivate BootIt NG
          Using  this option  reactivates BootIt NG.  BootIt NG  can become
          deactivated after installing a  new operating system like Windows
          95/98/ME/2K.  It may  have  also been  deactivated  by using  the
          deactivate option on the uninstall dialog.

          Capture MBR
          Most users  won t have a need to  capture the MBR. If  you have a
          special operating system or  need to use  a special MBR then  use
          this option  to  capture it  before  Reactivate BootIt  NG.  Once
          captured  you can  use it in  the boot  items you  create for the
           Normal  Boot Menu.

          Access BootIt NG Partition
          This option mounts and changes the current drive to be the BootIt
          NG partition  on the hard drive. This enables you to use files or
          other items that  may only exist on the hard  drive partition. It
          allows  you  to  still access  the  hard drive  partition  if the
          partition is  deleted.  If you  move  the EMBRM  partition  after
          installation,  you  should  reinstall  BootIt NG  to  update  the
          pointers on the installation diskette.

          Upgrade or Reinstall BootIt NG
          Choosing this option starts the BootIt NG Setup.

          Working with Partitions
          The Work With  Partitions dialog  is accessed  via the  Partition
          Work button on  the desktop or the Partitions option  on the edit
          menu.




















          1)   To create a  new partition or volume; highlight a free space
               entry and click the Create button.
          2)   To  delete an  existing partition  or volume;  highlight it,
               then click on the Delete button.
          3)   To format a  partition or volume;  highlight it, then  click
               the Format button.  If the Format button is grayed out, then
               it  means that formatting is not  supported for that type of
               file system.
          4)   To resize  a partition or  volume; highlight it,  then click
               the Resize button.
          5)   To convert  to/from a  FAT/FAT32 file system;  highlight the
               existing partition  or volume  and click the  Resize button.
               Change the radio button to the file system desired and click
               OK.
          6)   To  copy a partition or volume;  highlight it then click the
               Copy  button.  Copy Pending   is displayed on  the bottom of
               the dialog. Select a free space block as the destination and
               then click the Paste button.
          7)   To  move or slide a partition  or volume; highlight it, then
               click the Slide button.
          8)   To  create a  compressed  image of  a  partition or  volume;
               highlight it then click on the Image button.  Image Pending
               is  displayed on  the bottom  of the  dialog. Select  a free
               space  block as the destination and  then click on the Paste
               Button. NOTE: If  you are pasting  to a volume then  be sure
               it's not the  last volume in the extended partition when you
               boot DOS/Win9x/WinME;  you should make  sure a FAT  or FAT32
               volume is last.

          Timeout:       Set this to the number of seconds to wait for user
                         input before automatically booting. If set to zero
                         then no timeout will occur.

          Sound:         The  sound file that will be  played when the boot
                         menu is first displayed.

          Direct Boot Menu: Check this box if you want the Direct Boot Menu
                            to be the default menu displayed.

          General Items

          Align on End: Most user should just leave this checked.
          Keep HD0 Active: Required by most new BIOS s when  booting from a
                   hard drive other than HD0.

          Fix Swap: Enable this option if your system locks up when you use
                    the swap option.

          IT Mode:       In  this mode  the  GUI is  not displayed  and the
                         system boots directly to  the default boot item or
                         last  boot item if no  default is found. It should
                         only  be used  with  the  normal    default   boot
                         menu.  Hold down  the  right Ctrl  key during  the

                         menu.

          Full Partition List: If enabled, then the full list of partitions
                    will  be displayed  when  creating a  new partition  or
                    volume; otherwise an abbreviated list is displayed.

          Virus Check: A  simple check for possible viruses is performed on
                    boot up.  If a possible  virus is detected,  you should
                    use your anti-virus program  with the latest updates to
                    check for viruses. If  none are found, you  can disable
                    this option to suppress the warning message.

          Limit Primaries: This  option has a profound effect on how BootIt
                    NG operates. If  the Limit Primaries option  is on then
                    you  are limited to  having the normal  maximum of four
                    primary partitions. You can  also continue to use other
                    partitioning software  such  as  FDISK.  If  the  Limit
                    Primaries option is  NOT on then you can have more than
                    four  primary partitions  but  you should  NOT use  any
                    partitioning software except for BootIt NG. This option
                    will be grayed out and disabled if any of your existing
                    hard drives has more than four primary partitions.

          BootNow  Support:  If  you  are planning  on  using  the separate
                    freeware program  BootNow  from TeraByte Unlimited then
                    you should enable this option.

          Fill CHS over  8GB: Most users won t  need to concern  themselves
                    with this  option. If this  option is enabled  then the
                    ending CHS  values for partitions and  volumes over 8GB
                    will  be filled  in  with the  maximum values  allowed;
                    otherwise  it  uses   the  current  disk  geometry   to
                    calculate the correct values.

          Security
          Maintenance Password: The  password required to exit  a boot menu
                    to the desktop. Enter the password  twice to verify its
                    input.

          Require  User Name:  If  this option  is checked,  then  when the
                    system  is booted  a  user name  and  password must  be
                    entered.

          The  Users  Button: This  button  displays  the user  maintenance
                    dialog. From that  dialog you can add,  delete, or edit
                    users. Each  user can been assigned  their own  normal
                    Boot Menu and Direct Boot menu options.  If you create 
                    a user named "any" with no password then it will be logged
                    on automatically unless the insert key is held down at 
                    startup.

          Backup/Restore
          Using this option  you can backup or restore the EMBR information
          (entire first  track) on any hard  drive you check. You  can also
          use it to backup/restore the BootIt NG Files.











          To  backup,  click  the  backup  radio  button,  then  check  the
          checkboxes of the  hard drives you  want to have the  first track
          backed up for. If you also want to copy  the BootIt NG Files to a
          diskette, check that check box too.

          Once all  backup selections are  made, click  on OK; all  checked
          hard drives  will have the  EMBR backed up to  the partition with
          BootIt NG, then  if you have also chosen to  backup the BootIt NG
          Files, those files plus the  other BootIt NG files are  copied to
          diskette.

          To restore,  click the restore  radio button  and then check  the
          checkboxes of what you want to restore. Note that the entire EMBR
          (first track) is restored if you  choose to restore one to a hard
          drive. This includes the MBR.

          Sound   Creating/Using

          A sound file is nothing  more than a text file with  an extension
          of SND.

          The   format   of  the   sound   file   is  as   follows;   note:
          capitalization/spacing is not important and the x in the examples
          represents a number.

          cycles=x       (optional-must  be first)  -  number  of times  to
                         cycle the entire routine.

          FRx|xSxLx Frequency range to play. First x is starting frequency,
                    x  after  |  is ending frequency.  S is optional and is
                    the  step   frequency  rate  (default=1).  L   is  also
                    optional, it  is  the  latency  delay  in  milliseconds
                    between frequency step. (default=0)

          Dx        Delay in milliseconds. (1000 milliseconds = 1 second)

          N         No sound. Turns sound off.

          Here s a  sample routine that  will play  2000hz for .5  seconds,
          pause  with no  sound for  1 second,  then  play 500hz  to 2000hz
          stepping 10hz with a delay of .005 seconds between steps, then do
          the same thing only from 2000hz to 500hz:

          F 2000 D 500 N D 1000

          FR 500 | 2000 S 10 L 5

          FR 2000 | 500 S 10 L 5

          To install a sound file you created:

          1)   Copy the file to a diskette
          2)   From the   Settings   or  Boot  Item  dialog,  click on  the
               browse button next to sound.
          3)   Type in  A:*.SND and press enter twice  to display a list of
               files on the diskette.
          4)   Select the sound file you want to use/copy.

          Using the Multi-OS Feature

          The Multi-OS feature of BootIt NG allows you to install more than
          one operating  system in  the same primary  partition. BootIt  NG
          only supports Multi-OS in a FAT or FAT32 primary partition.

          To enable this  feature you must check  the  Multi-OS  check  box
          when  creating the  partition  or, after  it is  created,  in the
          properties dialog  available through the   Work with  Partitions
          dialog.

          Once  enabled, you can install another  operating system into the
          same partition (but different directory) as another one. When you
          reboot, BootIt NG will detect the new operating system and create
          a new boot  menu option for it. If BootIt  doesn t detect the new
          operating system then you can manually capture the required files
          by using  the  Groups   button  from the   Work with  Partitions
          dialog.

          If you want  to add, remove, or change the handling of any of the
          files  associated with  a  group, then  you should  highlight the
          Multi-OS partition in the  Work with Partitions  dialog and click
          the Groups button.

          You  should  note  that  some  operating  systems  use  the  same
          directory  structure for some of its  files that could cause some
          files to be overwritten. For example, both Windows 95 and  98 use
          the \PROGRAM FILES  directory for an Accessories  folder. So even
          if you had Windows 95 installed in \WINDOWS and installed Windows
          98 to \WIN98,  Windows 98 setup could overwrite the  files in the
          Accessories  folder.  To  solve  this you  could  have  installed
          Windows  98 to its own drive  letter (D:\WINDOWS for example). In
          this case you  still need the Multi-OS feature because Windows 98
          will install its boot files on the C: drive and the rest would be
          installed to  the D:  drive.  The Multi-OS  feature protects  the
          Windows 95 boot files on C: and creates a new set for Windows 98.

          Uninstalling BootIt NG

          1)   If you do not have primaries  limited then the first step to
               uninstalling is to make sure you have no more than 4 primary
               partitions per  hard  drive.  You can  use  the   Work  with
               Partitions  dialog to delete any extra primary partitions.
          2)   From the Utilities Menu choose the Uninstall option.
          3)   Check the  Remove BootIt NG  check box.
          4)   If you want to also remove all  groups and captured OS files
               then check the  Remove Group/Captured OS Files  check box.
          5)   Click OK.

          BootIt NG has  now been uninstalled. The first  primary partition
          of HD0 has been marked active. If your system boots the incorrect
          partition or won t boot  at all then you can use FDISK to set the
          correct  partition active. You can also  use the BootIt NG floppy
          diskette  to  set  the  correct  partition  active  by  doing the
          following:

          6)   Boot from the BootIt NG Installation diskette.
          7)   Click the cancel button to enter  maintenance mode .
          8)   Click on the Partition Work button.
          9)   Click on the View MBR button.
          10)  Highlight the partition you want active and click on the Set
               Active button.
          11)  Click on the apply button.

          Generic Installations

          Here is  an example on how  to setup a Multi-OS  partition. Other
          generic  examples on setting  up an OS  in its  own partition are
          also given. Be sure you have read the Getting Started  section of
          this document  (page 6) so  that you  have some understanding  of
          what is going on.

          Enabling Multi-OS on a Partition
          Assumes partition already  contains an OS, using  the normal boot
          menu.

          1)   Install BootIt NG.

          2)   Click the Maintenance button on the boot menu.
          3)   Click the Partition Work Button on the desktop.
          4)   Highlight the existing partition.

          5)   Click the properties button.
          6)   Rename it to whatever you wish. For the example, I ll assume
               it s named  My C Drive .
          7)   Check the Multi-OS check box.

          8)   Click the OK button to apply the changes.
          9)   If BootIt NG  recognizes the  installed operating system,  a
               new group and  menu configuration item  is created. If  not,
               you  can  use  the  groups  button  to  add the  files/group
               manually (see the Using the Multi-OS Feature section in this
               document)
          10)  If you had an existing boot item configured you can now edit
               the boot menu and  either delete the  previous entry or  add
               the group name to it.


          Single Partition
          Installing an OS  in a single partition (Using  the  Normal  boot
          menu)


          1)   Install BootIt NG.
          2)   Create  a Partition for  your OS using  Work with Partitions
               Dialog.
          3)   Create a new menu item for booting the  new partition. Click
               the  Boot Edit  button on the desktop then the add button to
               add the new  item to the boot  menu. Click OK and  return to
               the desktop when done.

          4)   Click the resume button on the desktop.
          5)   Choose the  entry  you  just created  from  the  boot  menu.
               Depending on the partition, it will either display a message
               saying  that there is  no operating system  installed on the
               partition or  that the  partition  is not  bootable and  the
               option to boot from the floppy instead.





          BootIt Next Generation                                         29

          6)   Insert your installation diskette in the A: drive. Depending
               on what message  appeared in  the last step,  boot from  the
               floppy drive by either answering  the question or pressing a
               key.  The installation diskette  will now be  booted and you
               can begin installation to the C: drive.

          7)   If you  don t have partitions  limited under  settings, then
               you  should usually use the  advanced or custom installation
               choices to make sure the installation routine doesn t try to
               create a  new partition.  Remember that  the  OS and  system
               tools only see the partitions that  are in the MBR, so if it
               creates or moves a  partition it may put it right  on top of
               an existing one that is  not currently in the MBR  partition
               table. You can however create or move volumes in an extended
               partition  provided  that  the   actual  extended  partition
               doesn t get moved or expanded.
          8)   That s  it you re  done.  Some operating  systems  (such  as
               Windows 95) will deactivate BootIt NG. If that  is the case,
               all you need  to do is boot with your BootIt NG installation
               diskette and choose the Reactivate BootIt NG option.

          One common configuration  is to have multiple  primary partitions
          (one for each operating system)  and one common (shared) extended
          partition  for data. To do this  you indicate the boot partition,
          then add the  extended partition  to the MBR  for each boot  menu
          configuration.

          Dedicated Partitions
          Installing the bulk of a MS OS  on another HD1. This also applies
          to installing a MS OS to a Volume.


          1)   Create a Partition  for the OS  on HD0 using  the Work  with
               Partitions dialog.  You can  create the  partition small  as
               possible, which is  going to be depending on the OS. 5MB may
               be enough. (Leave the format option checked)
          2)   Create the  main OS  partition on  HD1 using  the Work  with
               Partitions dialog. (Leave the format option checked)
          3)   Create a boot  menu item for the new  OS partition. Click on
               the   Boot Edit   button on  the  desktop and  then the  add
               button  to add  a new  menu item.  Select the  partition you
               create on  HD0 as  the  boot partition.  Highlight an  entry
               under MBR Details for HD1 and the click  on the Fill button.
               Choose the main OS partition  from the list. Save changes to
               the boot menu by press OK twice.

          4)   Click on the resume button.
          5)   Boot  the  new entry  you just  created.  It will  display a
               message  saying that there is  no operating system installed
               on the partition.
          6)   Insert the OS installation boot diskette and press a key.

          7)   The OS Setup starts; choose the existing (main OS) partition
               you created on hard drive 1 as the installation drive.
          8)   That s  it you re done. The  OS boots from  the partition on
               HD0  and transfers itself  over to HD1. You  can do the same
               thing using  the Multi-OS feature.  If you use  the Multi-OS
               feature  then you just  need one  small partition  and won t
               have to dedicate a small partition for each OS.
          9)   Some operating systems (such as Windows 95)  will deactivate
               BootIt NG. If that is  the case all you  need to do is  boot
               with  your  BootIt  NG  installation  diskette  and  run the
               Reactivate BootIt NG option.

          Definition of Shareware
          Shareware  distribution  gives  users a  chance  to  try software
          before buying it.  If you  try a Shareware  program and  continue
          using  it,  you  are expected  to  register.  Individual programs
          differ  on  details     some  request registration  while  others
          require  it,   some  specify   a  maximum   trial  period.   With
          registration,  you get anything from the simple right to continue
          using the software to an updated program with printed manual.

          Shareware is a distribution  method, not a type of  software. The
          Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can
          try before you buy. Also, because the overhead is low, prices are
          low. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee if you don t
          use the product, you don t pay for it.
