    Good free boot manager recommendations?

    I have an existing Win2k/Win2k server system, with an second hard drive currently just as backup storage. I have an old drive that I'd like to install Win3.1 and Win95 on, and add as a third drive. I know I need a boot manager, any recommendations (preferably freeware)? Is it even possible to boot into DOS from a drive that's not the primary drive?

    You always boot from the primary drive that's how it works!

    But you can choose which device to boot from yourself ....

    The 'free-est' most reliable boot manager I know is bios.... change - boot order ?
