Multi Boots, Boot Managers

M

I have several PCs set up as Multi Boots and have always used XOSL as my
boot manager. My setups have always included Windows 98 and so have always
had a Fat32 partition.
I am now trying to set up a PC with 4 NTFS partitions so I can not use XOSL.
BootIt NG requires installation on a Fat of Fat32 drive but can create more
that 4 primary partitions per drive. I have decided that I do not want to
go down this path just yet.
Can anyone recommend a graphical boot manager like XOSL that will load on an
NTFS drive?
Thanks

In such cases I load XOSL into a dedicated 10 MByte partition at the far end
of the disk. This can be a logical partition. By the way, XOSL can load
as many OSs as there are physical or logical drives on your disks.

I read that GAG has capabilities similar to XOSL but that it does not
require a partition for its code. http://gag.sourceforge.net/index.html

System Commander can be loaded onto an NTFS partition/drive.
