Dual boot?
If you aren't using linux, get norton system commander.. it's far
eaiser than all the others combined, especially than the windows boot
manager

But, here's the oh, DIRTYWORD, it's about 500000X eaiser to setup
multiboot from a new machine (boot partition and multi drive parts)
than any other way with a NT/2k/XP machine...

best of luck, email me offline for some help
