Dear Fyo: Use LILO or Grub. I currently use the graphical version of LILO and boot two different versions of Windows, three different versions of Linux and a version of MS-DOS spread over multiple disk partitions (actually more versions of Linux as different video and setup options for all three kernels are included). Unless you have a system with a BIOS less than 2 years old, the bootable partition must be within the first 8GB of disk due to BIOS routine limitations. If you can do linear block addressing (LBA), like mine (IWILL KK266R), you do not need to worry (2TB is not yet available in a single disk). Before doing it, make sure you can boot from floppy, JIC. It is very slick. I have booted to various Unix flavors, WinNT and OS/2 using it before. Pete
