multi operatings sysetm suggestion..

[softwareguy74]

Hi Guys/Gals,

I have decided to take the plunge and subscribe to MSDN. My idea is that I'm going to have a test computer with a really big hard drive and several partitions. Each partition will be loaded with a different operating system for purposes of testing my software.

My question is, how do you handle booting to a certain O/S in a multi-O/S system? I have heard there are programs out there that allow you to select which O/S to boot to as soon as you turn on your computer.. Can you recommend any good ones for me? Perferably free or cheap ones...

Or, is there another way to handle booting in a multi-O/S system?

Thanks,

Da

I just found a product called System Commander (www.systemcommander.com). Does any one use this? Is it a good one?

I use Paratition Magic. That's a program capable of managing all the diffrent filetypes as well.

It makes, moves, resizes and deletes paratitions and has a multi-boot system as well. This is as far as I know the best program for the job and if you don't want to pay for your software, their are enough illegal copies in the world.
