Except for growing NT 4 parturitions and relocating them, what again
does it do that you can not do using the native OS tools?

I want to add a plug for a product called Partition Magic. It allows
you to partition a single disk into 4 major partitions of which 3 can be
system/boot partitions. The remaining 1, 2 or 3 partitions would be
logical/data partitions which can be sub-partitioned into D:, E:, F:,…
drives. Each of these subpartitions can be formatted differently
(FAT16, FAT32, NTFS). This allows a system partition for NT4, W2K and
XP as well as some shared data space. This completely hides the
different OS’s from each other and there is no chance of an install of
one messing with the other(s).
In addition this product allows easy reallocation of partition sizes
after the OS’s are installed so if your 3 meg NT4 partition needs to
grow, you just move a slider bar and let it do its thing.
I’m not in anyway associated with Partition Magic. Just a very
impressed customer. I know there are competitors which I cannot speak
to. It has made my job much easier.

Sure, but you can buy a 100GB disk off the shelf retail for
not a whole lot
of cash, so why bother with this crap? Just make the first
partition a 4GB
partition for the hideous NT4 and a couple of 20GBs for w2k
and xp, and have
about 50GB left over for whatever your heart desires.-----Original Message-----

of release
(nt4->W2K->XP) and you really, really want to have a
different partition for
each OS. Be very careful with large disks and NT4 as it has
‘issues’. I
recently did this to a test system, in order to have
nt4/w2k/xp available
and went through absolute hell on the nt4 install. W2k and XP
were strictly
no problem.-----Original Message-----

I have NT4, 2000 and XP all on the same box, but each in it’s
own partition.
I would install 2000 before installing XP. -billBill Christie, Software Engineer
