Re: System Commander "When it booted, you were given a menu of O/S installed, (apparently many more can be installed). The trick was that when you selected one from the menu, the application "hid" the other partition, so the computer did not think it existed, as each MS O/S likes to think it is your only friend. It created an MBR for each partition and activated it from the System Commander menu." Good program. PowerQuest's Bootmagic does the same thing. You can 'hide' one partition and load the other. The OS that is loaded won't see the other partition at all. If you did it using the conventional NT boot loader, the other OS is not hidden. " I do agree that you will have issues of 32 bit Win98 programs not running in the 16 bit NT environment." Not quite sure what you mean, but Windows NT is a full 32-bit operating system. Any 32 bit application made for Windows will function well in either 95, 98 or NT. 16 bit applications also function in each OS, but the way the memory is mapped for them is a little different. Rich
