To setup that the boot manager starts before Windows XP you have to use Rewrite loader. If you install Windows XP after the boot manager, then Windows XP will start instead of the boot manager, because the loader is overwritten with the program from Windows XP. Operating systems like Windows XP are writing during the installation their own small program into the MBR. Rewrite loaderĪ small program (the loader) is required in the MBR to start the boot manager. The partition table data won’t be changed. In this case the uninstall routine creates a new MBR to boot the current operating system. If you use the CD installation, then it’s not possible to restore the sectors. With this backup it’s possible to remove the boot manager completely from your hard disk.
The install program writes the backup to the floppy disk. With the installation from floppy, the install program makes a backup of the sectors where the boot manager will be installed.
If you have an installed operating system, then the install program creates a profile for you to boot this operating system. With this option you install the boot manager to your hard disk. You have to use the second version for installation from write protected media like CD’s or when you install from network or any other boot manager. The second version skips the backup part. The only difference is that creates a backup file plpback.bin to restore hard disk sectors for a complete boot manager uninstall. There are 2 versions of the install program. The Plop Boot Manager is not a Linux loader and cannot start Linux without LILO, GRUB, Syslinux and similar! See Linux Boot Managers. Warning Linux users: Install LILO or GRUB to the boot sector of your Linux instead of the Master Boot Record (MBR). Some features are only available when the boot manager is installed to the MBR.Īs simple alternative to the MBR installation, it’s easy to add the boot manager to an existing boot manager. That means the boot manager is started before any operating system has been started.
When you do that, then the boot manager is the first program that is started when you boot from the hard disk. You can install the boot manager to the MBR of your hard disk.
