Have you upgraded to Partition Magic 5?
It works very well.
HDD1 Win98, Win2000(2 copies)
HDD2 BeOS, Solaris, Mandrake 6.5.
Bootmagic Version 2 (comes as part of PM5) has a great password feature as
well (usefull as thier is no logon system for BeOS).
Regards

Subject: [expert] Large Hard drives....Multiple OS's
I was looking at getting a new hard drive and was wondering if someone can
help
me with my large drive dilema. I'd like to get a Maxto UDMA 66 36.5gig
drive,
but I'm not sure I can get it to partion and work properly. I'd like to
install
the following OS's on it with these approximate parition sizes:
Win98 6gig
BeOS 2gig
Linux 10gig
Scratch OS (such as WIn2000, Caldera/Redhat Linux) 4 gig
The rest of the drive space will be for files, etc. Can someone help with a
partitioning scheme so I can boot these OS's without a floppy (i.e. is there
some kind of workaround so I can have all boot sectors under the 1024 limit,
or
is there a way I can place them above that constraint?) BootMagic (included
with PartitionMagic) just won't hack it. Thanks!
