I partitioned my hard drive for 3 gigs to be and 38 to windows 2000, I first installed be then windows 2000, I never made a BE boot disk, now windows 2k dominates ( i assumed its boot loader would pick Be up). Does anyone have an Idea on how t o get to be without a bootdisk, and how to use be boot manager to boot win2k or Be?

What you need to do is find a way to boot to BeOS. Fortunately, this isn't that troublesome. Is this BeOS Pro or Personal? If it's Pro, then simply insert your CD. When you see the startup splash page where the bubbles light up, press the space bar. This will bring you to the boot options menu, which will allow you to choose your boot volume. Choose the hard disk where you have BeOS installed instead of the CDROM, and continue the boot process. When you get into BeOS, then open Terminal and run "bootman". This will allow you to set up the boot manager again. Bootman can multiboot Win2K and BeOS no problem. If this was a Personal Edition installation then, if you installed it from a custom CD, you can do the same thing. If you installed it using a different method, then you will have to make a boot floppy. You can download the floppy disk boot image from Be's FTP site, I believe. (Not positive where exactly it's located on the site.) Then go onto your favourite search engine and do a search for RAWRITE.exe. This program will let you write the boot floppy image to a disk in order to create a bootable BeOS disk. Once you've booted into BeOS, open Terminal and run bootman, as before.
