I use System Commander for all of my multi-boot needs. I am running Dos 6.22, Win95 on my first hard drive Windows NT on my 2nd hard drive and FreeBSD on my 3rd Hard Drive. It handles all of the different drives, Operating Systems and Different Drive formats (ie Fat16, Fat32, NTFS, etc) just perfectly. The new system commander also comes with a disk partitioning program so you can change the size of your partitions on the fly without losing any data.
