(I breezed through this thread, sorry if it was mentioned) Yep , but that is a "peculiarity" of DELL Bioses, the idea of the thread was to use the MBR or a bootloader/bootmanager (independently from any BIOS make/brand/code). More (GOOD) info on the DELL partition utility is here: http://www.goodells.net/dellutility/index.htm The BIOS has code that "intercept" the F12 and "recognizes" setting it active, the "DE" partition. jaclaz
