 Hi busaman,

I remembered that you mentioned it before and it helped me. If you see the first link in my previous post, BootIt Next Generation, the predecessor is there.

Even a free software is also mentioned, Boot-US 'www.boot-us.de'.

Now, one has his own choice. I did not use any of the above softwares extensively so I cannot compare and comment on the performance of these softwares.

Thanks for your support.

 this is the one you want.
