PowerQuest Boot Magic

You simply create a primary partition for each OS. Boot Magic then sets the appropriate partition as active on boot-up, hiding all the others. Alternatively, for Windows NT/2000 you can have multiple visible primary partitions.

That's my favorite. It's actually IBM's Boot Manager, which was originally released with OS/2. I use it at home. Although System Commander allows you to use more OS's than Boot Manager, it's messier. You need 2MB of contiguous drive space to install [Boot Manager].

I use System Commander Deluxe on my home system and it's not bad. If you want to make multiple bootable partions it can get a little hairy though. Other than that is a nice utility.

Try Lenux LILO, it may not be the best but the price is right.

Hey thanks everybody! Ive got the sys up and running with Partition Magic's Boot Magic. Shawn e-mailed me and said also to load Win98 on a partition and then NT on the other and NT would allow you the choice of which you boot too!
