BootIt^® Bare Metal: Upgrade History

Version 1.08 - March 21, 2012
Updated IFD-GUI and Scripting versions.
Prevent entering an invalid file system value when creating a partition.
Changed extender defaults and remove the .exe wrapper that was used to set extender options to prevent certain dell model notebooks cd boot emulation mode from either corrupting or conflicting with the wrapper (or not reading data proper when the wrapper requests it). The wrapper used the top of conventional memory to load relocation table entries. Dell may want to check that on such models as the XPS L502x
Other Misc.
