Boot menu Timeout

[DavidCudworth]

I want to create an installation disc to install onto the D: drive, the version on the C: is good. I used the nlite installation disc and the installation got part way throught then stopped.

This is due to either a disc recording fault which corrupted a file or a missing file, anyway, the option to reboot was offered and the machine then rebooted into the dodgy D: drive, continuing the installation and stopping at the same point again.

At this point, after calming down, i could see that the only option to get back to the C: drive, in order to find out what happened, was to use the power button and start from cold using F8 and 'last known good' to boot into the C: drive.

On investigating the BOOT.ini i discovered that nlite had changed the timeout to 1 sec which isn't enough time to select from the boot menu to boot into the good version on the C: drive.

Now, is there an option on one of the menus somewhere to set the timeout or is this a programmed thing in which case could i request the user be given a option or at least a 20 sec timeout in the next revision. I currently have version 1.4.6

Isn't enough as soon as the BIOS starts to press and keep pressed the [DOWN ARROW] key?
