dual boot manager?
Background... I wanted to try out Windows 8 so downloaded the iso file, burned it to disk and then tried installing it on a virtual drive. (on any of three machines on my network) I won't go into a long recitation of my failed attempts, but I then switched tactics and installed it onto a spare sata drive on a machine running Vista. Ah! The pleasure of success on the first attempt.
My problem is that I cannot select either physical drive to boot to except by unplugging the one I don't want. No! Bios doesn't work. I can't get Vista or Win 8 to do that for me. I need a boot manager that will download and install (without a lot of crapplications). Or does anyone have a SIMPLE way to do this for a user who actually uses the machine as a computer, not as a technological time consuming challenge????
