I have been using the multi OS capability of partition Magic for years.
Can't say enough good about it, except to say that it does what they say
it will do.
I use it to maintain a backup of the operating system. In case the front
OS gets goofed up (virus, etc.) I just boot to the back OS.
The only thing I wish is that I could put the 2nd OS on the 2nd physical
hard drive on the same computer. It seems you can only boot from the
first drive so both OS partitions are on the same physical hard drive. So
no hard drive protection.

I like PartitionMagic v6.0 by PowerQuest for
partitioning hard drives and moving or resizing partitions. Other
features include ability to set up multiple bootable partitions. It comes
with a small application which opens upon starting a computer where you
choose the OS you want to boot. I have not personally tried the multi-OS
feature yet.

6-12 months after Windows XP is released I may need to buy it.
Unfortunately, there will be compatibility issues.
Does anyone know much about how to run Win98 and XP on the same
computer? Is anyone familiar with programs that allow one to do this?
Some sort of dual boot program?
