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 Since PowerQuest had merged with Symantec, it previous line of products (PartitionMagic/BootMagic 8) seems a bit outdated (eg, no Win Server 2003 support, some bugs, etc.)...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

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

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?
