Well, you'll have to get one of the many technical wizs on the list to 
explain the nuts and bolts of what makes it work, but essentially it writes 
a bit of code to the partition table that makes any partition, or group of 
partitions, invisable to the active partition.  As Windows tends to snoop 
around and configure things that you never asked it to configure, I usually 
hide everything from Windows.

System Commander is a boot manager that has the ability to do this too.  But 
instead of going in to the app, and changing the hidden partitions every 
time you want to switch partitions to boot like PM, in SC you configure the 
partitions you want visable, invisable, or whatever else for each partition. 
  Then when you select a partition to boot from the SC boot screen, it makes 
all the changes or hidden/visable, and a slew of other settings 
automatically without having to do it manually.
