I'm looking for a partition and boot manager for my PC once I get my HDD back.. Since PowerQuest had merged with Symantec, it previous line of products (PartitionMagic/BootMagic 8) seems a bit outdated (eg, no Win Server 2003 support, some bugs, etc.)... Any suggestions?

linux' boot manager (grub) can boot any partitions
windows can boot any partitions too .. google for diskpart

I prefer 3rd party partitioning/boot manager software... ;)

As W1zzard says, try Grub (http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/).

I see.. I will check it out (once I got my RMA'ed HDD back :D).. any open source/free disk partitioning program that is up to the job?

*EDIT*
Just checked out GRUB, it's not publicly released but can be obtained from one of its FTP sites.. I think it's for Linux-installations only.. I'm running Windows.. And ideas?
