Dual booting computer

my way:

1. Create a new primary partition using Partition Magic. If you have only 1 partition, resize it!
2. Hide all current OS installed partitions, for example: if you have Vista/XP installed on first partition, hide it!
This is required in order to make Windows Setup not to bother other installed OSes.
3. Boot your PC using the Windows Setup CD/DVD, and choose the partition you just created.
4. After Setup finished, unhide all hidden partitions on step 2
5. Install third party Boot-Manager such as (BootStar Boot Manager)
6. Make some boot profiles and choose a partition to active (boot).

Using this procedure you can choose an OS to see (or not to see) other OS(es) and or partition.


Requirements:

- Partition Manager (Partition Magic)
- Boot Manager (BootStar BootManager)
