Rahul....with all due respect, it sounds like you're leaning WAY out
over your skis. It is possible to have multiple OS on one HD and control
them with programs like Bootmagic or BootIt (that's the one I use and
you can try it for free), but having a dual or multiple boot is
something for advanced users. If you really feel the need to do this
find out ALL you can before proceeding. You need to have your HD cleaned
and formatted before you use any boot utility. I've had as many as 4
different OSes installed on one PC and controlled them using BootIt.
It's only $40 and worth every cent.

So whats wrong with using o/s to partion?

DL - this is only an option when configuring the Op Sys for the first time. One require a utility such as Partition Magic to do this with a HDD that has an Op SYs installed.

PM allows resizing, reformatting, copying one to another, creation of new partitions and combining partitions

the origonal post did'nt indicate that he wished to alter anything that had
the o/s installed, at least thats how I read it, which was the reason for my
