I've had mixed results with version 6.0, supposedly W2K compatible. First
time I used PM it blew the drive's contents to the point of
UN-recoverabilty. Second time it blew the NT loader away, I had to re-sys
the drive and then launch the W2K setup to get at the repair console. Got
things straightened out, but not worth the aggravation. Since I wanted to
run Warp 4.5 and W2K on my TP600, I ended up using the UltraBay for a second
hdd with Warp, and use Easy setup to control which drive boots first.
Not as neat as boot manager, but it works, and the odds of either OS's boot
loader messing with the other's is zero.
Regards,
Matt Winston
