BootMagic? Or do you mean BootManager, which comes with Partition Magic (at least from 3.0)?
Boot Manager comes with OS/2, and is great at having multiple OSes on 1 computer, but
it has limitations based on which OSes can boot from which types of drives (primary or
logical partitions), and there is a partition limit.

Why? If you're starting out from scratch, FDISK works very well. I just wish MS would improve
their versions of FDISK... =(

Or you could have enough room for NT, and put applications on another logical drive.
