Second boot partition using Partition Magic 8

[Grey]

WinXp Sp1,
I have two physical drives, both partitioned down into active and logical
drives. I would like to have a second WinXP install on the first partition
of my second slave drive - which in my case would be H: How do I do this
with PartitionMagicv8? I have a split C: drive where I can boot to either XP
or Win98, but if I wanted a third drive, PM gives me a window telling be it
can't boot beyond *some* cylinder (or whatever). Am I stuck with just the
two? In a slightly better world, I would like Linux as another optional OS,
but I don't trust either PM or Linux installation to scramble by setup.

Beyond plugging and unplugging a drive, any ideas?

Do a Google search on multi-boot and you will find pages of info; as I just
did.

Just be careful. Some may not work with XP, recognize XP NTFS format, or be
able to work with its boot type. Some can only do multi-boot on the first
hard drive only irregardless.
