PLoP Boot Manager

PLoP Boot Manager - Boot management tool

If you already know how to make Hiren boot, WinPE live, Ubuntu in a USB pen, or have them on a CD but when booting, you must go to the BIOS to select the first boot is USB or CD (press F2 or delete depending on the device), save re-configuring and logging out of the reboot took a lot of time.

If an older computer, there is no part in the CMOS menu (BIOS) to choose to boot into USB, so how do you boot it into USB? So is there a way to bypass the step selected in BIOS (CMOS), to choose to boot right into USB?

This is not difficult for PLoP Boot Manager, a quite special boot management tool, which can help you from now on pressing the delete or F2 key (depending on your device) to enter the BIOS to select the first boot again.

Feel free to choose whatever boot you like, whether it's from a floppy disk, CD or USB from the boot interface of any windows.

To have multiple boot options right in the boot menu of any windows, there's no need for the mainboard to support that type of boot, as follows:

- Expand the plpgenbtldr-0.7.zip file to a temporary directory.

- Next, you should create a folder, download the PLOP leaflet in C drive and copy the recently extracted files into PLOP.

- Select the file plpinstc.com , press F2 to rename it in that directory, into a new file named plpbt.bin

- In the Start menu Run , click Browse , find the file plpgenbtldr.exe, press the OK or Enter button.

- This file will find the file plpbt.bin create a new boot file in drive C, plpbtldr.bin.

* Particularly for WinXP:

- Open the boot.ini file of XP (remember to change its properties if read only) and add this line as follows:

c: plopplpbtldr.bin = "Install PLoP Boot Manager"

- Reboot the device, you will have the PloP boot manager line in addition to the line that selects boot into XP.

- Select next in the menu of PloP as shown below. Boot with USB, CD or floppy disk as you like.

* With Windows Vista, or Windows 7: the procedure is the same:

- Using Notepad, run as administrator, create a new boot.ini file in C drive, add this line:

[boot loader]
[operating systems]
c: plopplpbtldr.bin = "Install PLoP Boot Manager"

- Reboot the computer, in Vista or Windows 7 at startup will have two more lines to select VistaWin7 and the bottom line is Plop manager.

- Just click on the line below to get into PloP and choose to boot into any arbitrary: CD, USB.

In short, when you have PloP manager in C drive ready, now, you will not worry about having to press F2 quickly or delete to enter BIOS again. Although the old motherboard was not able to choose to boot into USB, you can still do something extraordinary with this PloP manager. Choose whatever boot you like in the main menu boot into XP, or Vista Win 7. Last note, the C drive is not fragmented, the new PloP works well.
