WINDOWS BUG: Multiple OS menu selectors

This is a real pain. Not necessarily a bug, but a flaw in windows that could have been avoided.

When you dual boot MS Operating Systems, it will produce a post bios menu that is used to select the OS that you would like to boot from. This works even if the two MS OS's are on different harddrives. The only problem with this nice little quaint menu is that if you ever delete or remove on of these harddrives, the menu does not update the change.

Kinda weird, but cool to notice this.

Umm....that is by design. If you move or delete one of the OS's, there is no way to change the boot.ini file automatically. You have to edit it manually.
