Very useful tutorial, very technical in places, and very much in love with Ranish Partition Manager.īut when setting up partitions & windows xp install lately It has been updated since I got my inspiration. My main inspiration came from this website in 1999: The REAL Multi-boot -Trombettworks. I don't claim expertise on anything, but I might be able to help. So I invite you all to share your experiments as well, and to ask about specific topics if you like. I feel I could write an awful lot more here, but the reading would become pretty boring, unless I write about specific topics that others are interested in.

This thread is a spin off of this thread:, which I did not want to hijack. I just want to present my thoughts and experiments with multibooting and partitioning. My reason for starting this thread is not to get anybody to do something similar. Most space is occupied by the extended partition containing logical drives. The entire hard disk is represented in the 2nd row.

Volkov Commander (orthodox file manager for DOS).

G: contains a Games folder and a Disks folder containing ISO images.F: contains a Setup folder where I keep installers for software.E: is a logical drive where Windows operating systems (version >= 95) are installed.For me that is private data, DOS tools, and non-DOS tools that don't rely on being installed. D: is the first (and always visible) logical drive and contains stuff that I consider essential.C: is the only one of my primary partitions that gets mentioned in the MBR.So I have created an extended partition that contains a FAT16 logical drive and always shows up as D.

That clearly is not possible because of lack of space and it would be a pain to maintain in case I update one of the tools or batches.

In order to have access to a collection of essential tools (they are in a folder called TOOLS), I would have to copy that folder onto all of the floppies and primary partitions.

So I thought maybe they also run well when booting from a small primary DOS partition.

Most (maybe all) OS for PC run well when they are installed on a logical drive and I boot from a matching DOS floppy.But I can put any number of logical drives inside an extended partition, given an large enough hard disk. The is a very limited amount (4) of primary partitions that I can put inside the partition table of the master boot record. I have to partition my hard drive and give each OS its own space.write my own boot manager using batch filesĪfter researching and reading what I could find I came to the following conclusions:.have a drive with essential tools and data mapped to the same letter at all times.several instances of same OS to choose from.I have been experimenting with partitioning my hard drive to be able to achieve these goals:
