Why don't you have a submenu with the title "Drive" and the submenu items
be the drive names themselves?  This way, (at least) the menus would be more
CUA-ish, and thus easier to use.  Use DosQCurDrive (I think) to get the
current drive being used and a bitmap of all of the valid drives on the
system.  This way, you can immediately place a checkmark next to the drive
that the system was started from.
