2Click Delete.

Deleting an OS from the BootMagic menu does not remove the OS from your system. The OS remains in its partition and can be added again to the menu if desired.

Modifying a Menu Item’s Properties

1In the BootMagic main window, select the item you wish to modify.

2Click Properties.

3Modify the properties as desired, then click OK.

For a description of each property, see “BootMagic Menu Item Properties” in BootMagic’s online help.

Setting a Default Operating System

BootMagic automatically selects the OS on the home partition (that is, the partition on which BootMagic is installed) as the system default. This is the OS that BootMagic automatically boots if another OS is not chosen before the startup delay expires, or if the startup delay is set to None.

For more information on the startup delay, see the next section, “Setting the Startup Delay.”

1In the BootMagic main window, select the operating system you wish to set as the system default.

2Click Set as Default.

Booting from a Second Hard Disk

To boot an operating system that is not on the first hard drive, you must enable advanced partition hiding. To enable advanced partition hiding, click Options Advanced Partition Hiding. If this option is not selected (the default), you can only boot from the first hard disk.
