I have found Michel Ranish's PART.EXE is a very useful program that can
make a large number of boot partitions (upto 32) on the hd and also install
a boot manager. However it is only for the initiated and not for the novice. 

I am not ware of the current location of the program, which I think is at
least free for personal use. The locations used to change a bit and last
time it was at http://user.intercom.com/~ranish ; maybe the url is wrong.
The older version part.exe is better manageable than the new partbeta.exe

Good Luck 	Sandy
