um, how about a boot manager riaght after the location of the end of
your windows partition ? ( you will need to have decided how much to
alot that OS, as well as the others, and perhaps it would be wise to get
pqmagic to do the dividing? ( they aslo have a boot manager , but I
liked Os/2s bootmanager the best ..
one caveat tho, w2k HATES any other os on hte drive ( no matter what
you've heard, if it isn't another MS oproduct tehy don't want to know
about it, and WILL trash the partition ...) Tho it doesn't seem to
notice lilo , which also makes a nice bootmanager.. I have mine ( the
boxen that work w/ w2k at all ) installed into the mbr , there are pros
adn cons for this, and you must consider carfeully whatever you plan to
do.. Do , at last plan ahead , and create backups as well as backup and
starter disks "just in case" Which should protect you from ever needing
them, although , that IS a bit of "magical thinking"
It couldn't hurt <g>
