Anyone here hand any experience with this?I haven't tried Acronis. I have tried and am currently using another shareware product that does the same thing, is less than 1mb, and whose 30- day free trial is *not* feature-limited, called BootItNG ( http://www.terabyteunlimited.com ). BING will let you put an unlimited number of "primary" partitions on a disk. The reason I'm using BootItNG rather than Grub, which is freeware and a FreeBSD port, is because I have two of my boot sectors (W2K and FBSD 4-STABLE) on a RAID-0 array, which Grub doesn't quite grok yet AFAIK. I have never used the freeware boot loader XOSL, but have heard some nice things about it - some teenager was on TechTV the other month showing off the 30-odd OSs on his machine that he boots with XOSL.

I wonder if you still need multiple disk drives. As far as I know the physical geomoetry of hard drives is altered to give you 4 fdisk
sections if winblows is on it anywhere instead of 16. Linux takes 2.
I would like to install all of the following if possible.
Win95,Win98,Win2k Pro,Win2k Server,WinXP
Redhat 6.3, 7.3, 8.0
FreeBSD 2.2.8, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x, 6.x (eventually)
NetBSD-current
OpenBSD-current
Darwin-current
FreeDOS
If you do try Acronis and/or XOSL, particularly if you also try bootloaders I'm familiar with, such as Grub and BootItNG, I'd be interested to know what your experiences were.
