Default Multi-Boot

Most of us know that running a dual, triple, quad or even a sexaboot is fairly simple and straight forward with WIndows. You simply install each operating system in the order from oldest to newest. 32 bit being older than 64 bit.

That being said, I've concocted a video of a sexaboot "Six OS Boot". We have:
xp pro 32
3D Optimized xp pro 32
Vista Ultimate 32
Vista Ultimate 64
Windows 7 x86
Windows 7 x64

All on one boot loader, choose you're os and boom, you're in it to win it. WHy? Because some games run smoother in certain operating systems than others. Mostly, because certain benchmarks run faster in certain operating systems than others. It can be DONE!

Ok you used a terrabyte drive for all this, how did you do the actual setup with partitions and order of installing OS's ?

I'm saying with the all new "Drive-WOW" you don't ever need to run 10 hard-drives again!

Just set it and.......................................'FORGET IT!'

Here's the low down:

Installed XP on to a 15 gig partition,
XP#2 onto another 15 gig partition, Pop in vista disk
Vista on a 20 gig
Vista on another 20 gig, pop in 7 c.d.
7 on a 20
7 on a 20

Now, Gents, Wench and Gentile's (hopefuly none in the audience) pop in you're Image For Dos from terabyte unlimited, back up the entire 7 partition install and never install an OS again!

What? You're worried about wanting to resotre individual partitions? Well, craikee, pop in that Image For Dos c.d., click restore, choose which partition you want to restore and BLAM, you've got specific restoration.

For a nominal fee, I can keep poking and prodding Terabyte Unlimited for a promo code for our kickass membership. (J/K on the fee but I've been soliciting them for support here).

Nice

I hope you used your Vista disk to format and make all of those partitions, and not your XP disk

Also good idea to ask if the terbyte unlimited matches partition alignment. (Vista uses an even alignment so each sector does not span more than one. XP does not, and 7 puts that stupid 100MB partition on first.

Made the partitions on the fly with each os disk. The latter, Mojave's as you refer to them were installed as logical partitions.

Hey Kal, when you use your image for DOS on a fresh bench install, how long would a reinstall take? I here Acronis only takes a couple minutes to be back to benching if you hose the OS.

A couple minutes will have all six os running on Terabyte as well. For this particular backup, I used Maximum compression so just about 130gigs was compressed into a 15gig single file back up that can process specific or all partitions.
