Comment:

Hi,

Can you tell me a program out there that I can partition a portion of my hard drive and set up different operating systems, say Windows ME and UNIX, so I can choose which OS I want to boot with? This would be very helpful. I see that PowerQuest has a program called Partition Magic with "Boot Magic" sofware that will allow selective booting of Operating Systems, including Linux, but it doesn't mention anything about UNIX.

Thanks in advance!!

If you are using Linux, Linux nativly have a program called "LILO" (For LInux LOader), This program enables you to boot different OS on your PC, for exampel, If you want to install windows ME and Linux, You install windows ME on a portition , and then you install LINUX on the other, when installing Linux choose the option "Install LILO" and windows ME will be seen and you can boot on Windwos ME or LINUX,


Or

There is some other programs Like "Select-it" this program enables you to boot diferent OS. it is an MS DOS program, You install it after every time you install a new OS.
