I used bootmagic for a short period, and it would not boot past the 1024
cylinder. How did you accomplish this? My 1024 limit isn't until around the 8
gig limitd on my 20gig grive (or Partition Magic told me when I played around
with creating the partitions.) I've been using Boot It Lite,
www.terabyteunlimited.com, and while its not pretty like bootmagic, it has some
nice features that made setting up my multiple os's much easier (Win2000,
RH6.1, Win98, BeOS).
