Boot Message Timer - Increase Duration

**CCT** · December 3rd, 2006, 02:04 PM

Is there a way to increase the length of time a boot message like 'Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver' is displayed ?

Not as far as I know, if you could, you would have to edit whatever file and then reburn the CD.

Hey, CCT! This is one of those posts that just forces me to ask "Why?'

May be that you could get the 6 set boot floppy program
for XP and edit it..........Possible.

I have been working on a boot/repair cd and had to recreate it a number of times and have nearly spilt my beer 2x rushing to 'press F6' - that's why!

( And NO - the beer isn't behind my sloppiness - yet)
