ok multi boots are easy and require no third party utilities. heres how i did mine. with a 9x boot disk, make a small primary dos partition with fdisk.set it as active. if you don't have access to a pc with 2k or XP, then makean extended partition. this will be your system partition, so size accordingly. use format to format c.
then install win 9x to c: the just boot to 9x, put in your NT/2k/XP cd and install from it or flat file if you prefer.during the setupwith XP check the box that says i want to select the partition during install. setup will ask you where you want to install to, select the system partition you just made . bang you are on the way.
if you have access to 2k or XP, the just after you made your primary dos partition, take your hard drive and plug it into a 2k/xp machine as a secondary drive. go to disk management by right clicking on my computer and selecting manage. then clicking on disk management. you should see your hard drive there. from here you can partition your unallocated space into a system partition and any other drives if you wish. for the fastest os, format your system partition with NTFS and specify the cluster size as 4k from the drop down list box. also make sure your system partition isnt too big. next format your primary drive with fat 32. you are almost done. now all you have to do is install your 9x os to c:, boot to it then install your 2k/XP os and check the box i want to specify the drive and partition during setup. bang zoom off you go.
