The Automapping Universal Disk Boot Manager Program is designed to provide
basic support, not provided by the Computer's BIOS, for Hard Drives in the
DOS environment or until Windows can load and start using it's own Drivers.
It is intended for Computers whose BIOS does not support the full capacity of
the Hard Drive(s) installed in the System and for Large Sector Hard Drives.
Large Sector Mapping of Hard Drives can be enabled by setting a flag in the
Drives MBR.

CHS (Basic Interrupt 13 Calls) and LBA (Extended Interrupt 13 Calls) are
supported regardless of the level of support by the BIOS and/or Hard Drives.
This allows use of newer Hard Drives even with very old Motherboards.

Windows 95, 98, 98 SE and ME users will still need a Patch to support more
than 137GB (128GiB) Hard Drives and Hard Drives with Sectors larger than 512
Bytes. The High Capacity Disk Patch Package, sold separately, provides
support up to 2TiB.

The TeraByte Plus Patch Package provides support up to 32768TiB and support
for larger Sectors (Windows 98 SE only). The TeraByte Plus Patch Package also
adds support for SATA Drives and correct a bug that Limits Windows 98SE to
1TiB Partitions.

Windows XP will require SP1 or later to support Hard Drives between 137GB and
2TiB.



REQUIREMENTS

DOS, Windows 98, 98SE, ME or XP(SP1+).
Floppy Drive (for Floppy based programs)
High Capacity Disk Patch (Windows 98, 98SE and ME Users) or

WARNING: Some BIOSes have partial or defective support for Large Hard Drives,
         It may be necessary to force the BOOTMAN2 DDO to support all Hard
         Drives by Pressing CTRL+ALT during Boot.
         See the Users Manual for more information.
