The High Capacity Disk Boot Manager Program is designed to provide basic
support for hard drives larger than 137GB in the DOS environment or until
Windows can load and start using it's own drivers. It is intended for
Computers that only have BIOS support up to 137GB. Windows 98, 98 SE and ME
users will still need the High Capacity Disk Patch Program (see MANUAL.TXT)
to provide large hard drive support after Windows takes over. Windows XP will
require SP1 or later to support large hard drives.



REQUIREMENTS

DOS, Windows 98, 98SE, ME or XP(SP1+).
Floppy Drive (for Floppy based programs)
High Capacity Disk Patch (Windows 98, 98SE and ME Users)
BIOS support for hard drives up to 137GB.

Alternate Versions are available for Computers limited to 32GB or 8GB.
A Boot CD Image is available for use with Computers lacking a Floppy Drive.
Contact Author (see Ordering Information below) for additional information.

COMPATABILITY TESTING

Due to the use of the BIOS for accesses below 137GB, a test program is
included that can be use to verify compatability of a particular Computer
System with the Boot Manager before purchase of the Full Version. See the
MANUAL.TXT file for instructions on running this test BEFORE installing the
Boot Manager.
