Master K Posted April 5, 2003 Posted April 5, 2003 I am surprised that no one else uses Paragon Boot Manager. Given that Scot's Newsletter has mentioned Paragon Partition Manager for resizing clusters in NTFS.I recently got a 200 gig Western Digital Drive and I wanted to make 3 paritions. 2 50 gig and a 100 gig. Each of the 50 gig would have a seprate install of WinXP, one for my regular use and one just for gaming that I install nothing not needed on.After a horrible experience with Boot Magic, I decided to try Paragon Boot Manager since it came with The Partition Manager. I tell you it was easy as pie. I belive (I am not 100% sure for a technical point) that it uses a LILO boot sector. You can configure a menu so you can boot form any drive, as well as default setting and timeout so if you have to do a remote boot it will choose the defult and keep booting. It also makes it quite eachto amke a back up floppy so if a program messes up your boot sector you can easily restore the menu.I am sure other programs do this well to but many people may already own this gem and not even know how well it works.Master K Out Quote

DirkMaster Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 Greetings, all. This is my first post, so be gentle. I am surprised that no one has mentioned Acronis' fine OS Selector 8 (http://www.acronis.com/products/osselector/)I use a lot of their products for several reasons. Cheap, they work, and their cheap. I own their TrueImage (once you use it, you'll never go back to rebooting into DOS for Ghost again), Partition Expert, and OS Selector.JMHODirkMaster Quote
