Automatic detection of existing operating systems

Post by SATA Bias »

BootIt "Automatically detects existing operating systems upon installation and adds them to the boot menu."
What are the exact steps to ensure this? I've seen only one time and I'm not able to reproduce this very useful behavior. Thank you in advance for enlightening me.

Thank you. Windows has been added. However, IFL copied to a partition on the hard drive was not added.

It's easy to manually add IFL to the Boot Menu.
