Why is it that with Dynamic boot volumes you cannot select a
specific partition and mark it as active? Boot.ini is NOT a
good substitute for marking the partition as active, which you
can do with a Basic partition. With Boot.ini, you end up
having two volumes marked as system or boot and it creates all
kinds of complex interdependencies between the volume used to
boot and the one that holds the active OS that are very difficult
to maintain and keep running. When you can mark a partition as
Active, that affects which volume is the boot volume and that
volume becomes self-contained.
