This file contains additional information not found in the manual.

* When you use allocation technique #0 the next boot of the hard drive might
invoke the Bootit Manager.  If this is the case and you have not completed 
the installation of the new operating system then you should select the
partition for the new operating system from the Bootit Manager menu.  This
will allow you to complete the installation!

* If you install Windows NT while there is another partition that NT is
compatible with, it will install its loader in that partition.  Assuming 
the loader is in a DOS partition and you want to remove the loader from DOS 
or just make Windows NT bootable; do the following:

  1) Choose MS DOS Prompt from the NT program manager.
  2) Logon to the MS DOS drive that has the Hidden/System/Read only files
     NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM, BOOT.INI and NTBOOTDD.SYS (for SCSI drives)
  3) type "attrib -h -r -s NT*.*"   (or do them one at a time)
     type "attrib -h -s -r boot.ini"
  4) copy the files listed in step 2 to the Windows NT drive and reactivate
     the attributes "attrib +h +r +s NT*.*" on the NT drive. 
  5) make any necessary changes in BOOT.INI then type "attrib +r boot.ini"
     If you are going to keep the loader on the DOS drive, reactive the
     attributes on the DOS drive and You're Done ... skip the rest.
  6) delete the files from the DOS drive.
  7) boot with your "DOS boot diskette" 
     (don't forget, you may need special function "F")
  8) verify that c: is the correct DOS C: drive.
  9) type "sys c:" ... if sys is not on the floppy then use the sys on the
     hard drive such as "c:\dos\sys c:" 
  10) You're done!

* If you use allocation technique #2 for Windows NT/OS2 then the partition
  to select during the installation is the one that says 
  "unknown or unformatted" 

* For OS/2 installations you should select "Custom" Installation so that
  you are sure which partition OS/2 is being installed in.

* You should make the OS/2 partition the boot partition during the 
  installation.

* Operating systems tested were PC/MS DOS 6.x, Windows NT 3.1 (CD), 
  Coherent 4.2.05, Windows NT 3.5 Server (CD), OS/2 Warp Version 3.0(CD), 
  LINUX(CD), Windows 95 (PR) (CD), and should work on most others.

* You can install OS/2 Warp (CD) with a 5.25" HD drive if you copy disk 1
  to a 5.25" diskette, get rid of the drivers (at least the ones you
  don't need) so that the files will fit, then when it asks for disk one
  put the 3.5" in B: and 5.25" in A: when the OS loads it will switch to
  the true drive A: and start the installation!

* If partitions get moved around in the standard partition table and you
  boot from that partition table the wrong partition may get booted (it may
  even try to boot a non-bootable partition).  If this happens re-enter the
  Bootit Manager and reselect the partition or group.

* If you don't have any free entries for the Bootit partition and you know
  how PC's work (meaning you know what you are doing), you can remove a 
  non-vital partition using a tool such as DISKEDIT which comes with Norton's
  Utilities.  Lets say you have a DOS primary and extended partition, you can
  remove the extended partition temporarily to install Bootit.  To do this, 
  first make sure no vital files are on the extended partition (copy them
  to the primary and make adjustments if needed) then run your utility 
  program and write down all the partition information of the entry you are 
  going to remove.  Next zero out the entry.  Then, Install Bootit.  Now
  Select a single partition to boot and use your utility program (which is 
  hopefully on the partition you booted) to restore the information over the 
  top of the last "unknown" (type DFh) partition.

* To install Windows 95 in its own partition do the following:

  First, Make sure you have your "DOS Boot Diskette" and that it has at least 
  the external commands  FORMAT and SYS on it.  Also, if you are going to be
  installing from the CD ROM drive you'll need to copy the Driver for the
  CD ROM drive and the MSCDEX program to another diskette.  You should write
  down the correct parameters for your CD ROM drive as it is in the CONFIG.SYS 
  and AUTOEXEC.BAT file; it may be easier to copy the CONFIG.SYS and 
  AUTOEXEC.BAT files to the diskette and edit them, removing all the entries
  except the CD ROM drivers and FILES=, etc.  Note: Change the path of the
  CD ROM driver and MSCDEX program to \ (root). Also, be sure you have a 
  floppy diskette with all the BOOTIT files (registered users will have this
  diskette, unregistered users will have to create it from the ZIP file)
  
  Now, Create a standard DOS primary partition using technique 2 (w/Clear 
  Sector=Y) as instructed in the manual under "Installation Notes".  
  Next, select the new partition from the Bootit Manager, but use the diskette
  to boot the computer (don't forget the "F" special function if you need it.).
  Once at the A:> prompt, If you try "DIR C:" you should get a media error, if 
  not you've done something wrong or this is a two drive system and your
  installing Windows 95 to the second hard drive.  If this is a two drive 
  system, select a blank partition or group from the Bootit Manager for hard 
  drive 0.

  If all is okay up to now, format the new partition using the command 
  "FORMAT x:/S" where x is the drive letter of the new partition.  Once the 
  format is complete copy your CD ROM drivers to the new drive and create 
  (or copy) the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files to load the correct 
  drivers and programs to access the CD ROM drive. 

  Now remove all diskettes and reboot your computer, the C: drive will
  boot and load your CD ROM driver and the MSCDEX program (your CD ROM will 
  most likely be D:).  If you type "DIR" at the C:> prompt you should only 
  see a couple files.  Now start the Windows 95 installation using the DOS 
  method.  Once Windows 95 is completely installed you'll need to run the 
  BOOTIT.EXE program to rebuild the MBR.

* The /hdoff and /hdon switches were added to version 1.02.
