Dear friends ,

I want ask bout dual booting multiple OS

free XP and longhorn and w2003


A) Why BOOT MAGIC do not show all OS from both Seagate and Maxtor
primary patitions but only of Master HDD
B) How to put in PC fifth and sixth OS in both HDD Seagate and Maxtor

I have installed :
Primary Master HDD - 0 Seagate has three OS 1. WIN XP 2. Win XP
3. WIN XP Boot Magic 8.0 can see them

Secondary Slave HDD - 1 Maxtor has installed 4. Win Longhorn throu
3.Win XP and here PC may be BIOS configures boots: C: DIRECTORY:
3. Win XP together with 4. Win Long two boots A. DIRECTORY include 1.
Win XP B. DIRECTORY include 2. Win XP

So BOOT MAGIC gives three separate DIRECTORIES were is four OS that
is C Directory has one OS of Seagate and one OS of Maxtor with different
boots from BIOS

When I install in MAxtor free Partition 5. Win 2003 for example then
BIOS shows in C DIRECTORY three OS: 3. Win XP 4. Win Long 5. Win 2003
but PROBLEM by which reason operating system Win Long is not working I
saw that many files became missed instead of 3.2 GB left only 2.8 GB.

Everything of 4.Win Long was removed and reinstalled again After
installation 5. Win Server 2003 is not at work not bootable that is in
C DIRECTORY left only two OS: 3. Win XP 5. Win Long though BIOS
shows three OS: 3. Win XP 4. Win Long 5. Win Server 2003.

Thank you
