3RD Party Dual Boot Manager?

I want to try a dual boot for the first time. I have W2K as my MAin OS right now. I am going to dual boot with Xp BEta. Do most of you that dual boot use a 3rd party program? I have Partition magic 6.1 and it has a Boot Magic program that i could use. Just want to hear opinion's from folk's that have experience with dual booting.
 
I personally use System Commander to dual/triple boot systems. I think it is the most advanced 3rd party boot manager out there - but if the W2K manager fits your needs, by all means use it.
 
I only use Boot Magic for Linux.

When u install XP, it'll automatically install & config it's own boot mgr. That'll be best if you're only using various versions of Windows.
 
System Commander is an excellent boot manager. VERY NICE. I also would highly recommend it.
 
There is a free version of SC out there called SC Lite, I think. (link is somewhere in the UK).

There's also XOSL which is free and is supposed to be good.

-SUO, quad-booting with NT Loader for now
 
I use Boot Magic. It was handy to triple boot. I found it needed to be disabled in some cases when ghosting boot partitions or else the images could not be restored to the same partition.
