This is actually for Server 2012, does anyone know how to do this in the registry. Thanks in advance

So in your opinion what is the biggest reason to use a third party boot manager?

Well we will be adding 3 OS's on our HD's, partitioned. We are looking into different Boot managers to select which OS the students will boot to. So far I've see that certain 3rd party software's allow booting into an OS and making the other partitions invisible, but I'm looking for more...

Hello, I was asked to do some research on different boot managers. My question is what is the point of a third party boot managers Pros and Cons, compared to the MBR that is part of Windows OS. Thank you in advance

Hello thanks for your responses Yes I am entering BIOS and changing the boot order and pressing F10 to save changes. Its strange because it is saving them and after a few restarts and unplugging the Esata port and re-plugging the settings revert.

and we are connecting them through eSata ports, if that matters

Let me elaborate, after reading my post I should have been clearer, sorry. This is being used in a school environment, and the I.T instructors needed to be able to have their students experience working with different software. Obviously we couldn't allow them to do it on the production...

Hello, Well we are using the local install as a production machine. The external is for testing software so that it doesn't effect the production machine.
