Default Multi-OS Boot Managers / Partitioning Utilities

OK, I give up. I need some advice on selecting a
multiple OS Boot Manager and Partitioning Tool.

I am overwhelmed by all of the information I have
found (see below) so I am appealing to those of you
that have been down this path before.

Thanks in advance,

Errol

BootIt Next Generation, www.bootitng.com, is my personal choice. Half the price of Partition Magic and just as full featured.

IMO, here's the best:

www.terabyteunlimited.com

The program is called "BootIt Next Generation", shareware, try before
you buy, fully functional. Fits on a single floppy disk. Well
supported by the author who also personally answers questions via
E-mail and in a newsgroup forum especially dedicated to the program.

By the way, BootIt Next Generation also does drive/partition imaging,
and much more. Go to the web site and read up on it. Learning curve
for the program is a bit steep, but well worth the time.
