boot menu

I have a dual-boot system between Windows 7 and Kubuntu. When I forgot that Windows 7 is the default operating system, I left my computer running at the boot menu to go get a drink of water. When I got back, I realized my mistake and also realized that CHKDSK was running at a horrifically slow...

My motherboard (ASRock 890 FX Deluxe 4) only has space for 4 hard drives in the boot priority section, which also controls how many drives are listed in the BBS Popup Menu. At the moment, that is adequate, because one of my 5 internal drives is nothing more than storage for backup images, and...
