My boot drive has BIBM 1.39 installed, and I don't need more than 4 primary partitions on it. However, I want to set up a secondary MBR-formatted hard disk to have more than 4 primaries, and I want most of them to be bootable.
Is that possible? How would I do it, please?
Thanks!

Ambertus,
Easy. Just make the second HD an EMBR disk.
Be careful when installing OS to the second HD. Otherwise you could get booting files installed to the BIBM HD.

Thanks again for your valuable help, Brian!
I was uncertain about how to go about it because I didn't want to risk losing the partitions that were already there. But I should have realized that the Terabyte developers would have anticipated this need and designed accordingly.
Great work, you people!
