SItemap/NAvigation Menu assistance?

Hi there,
I have a problem that has haulted my website development in a big way.
I want to us the Visual Studio Site Navigation function to get the items and sub items for the Nav Menu. The problem with this is that it always has to wrap all the way up into a parent item. I don't want just one menu item on it's own on the left of my page, I want to have 5 or 6 swhich reflect the layout of the site and then if the user puts the mouse over and item the sub items of that item will appear.

I understand that I can manually add this data myself but I want to have it so that the menu xml files can be changed by the user... so, I need it to be taken from the xml file.

I thought of having sepparate sitemap files for each section however .net doesn't allow more then one site map.
I'm stumped and would love some help on this one.
Thanks,
Phil

Set the ShowStartingNode property of your SiteMapDataSource to False.
