i was wondering if anyone knows of an easy way to warm boot from drive b: on a pc/xt. I have a Microsmart XT clone with a 3.5 as drive A: and 5.25 as drive B: I would be like to be able to boot from the 5.25 occasionally (without switching the drive cable). Thanks for your help, -Dj Merrill

I'm not sure exactly how to do it, but have seen a a few floppies cause the C: drive to be booted instead.
