Background: I like to have more than one OS on my machines for a number of reasons. I've been using System Commander 2000 since, well, 2000. I usually have a small DOS partition and I use the SC CD to bring it in and from there on it's Fat City. I've had as many as 7 different entries, representing different states of different OS'es and it's always worked like a charm.

V-Comm sold out System Commander a few years ago, and the reading I've done seems to indicate it's gone way downhill (the original author made his pile and is now a Tesla enthusiast. But I digress.

Just picked up another laptop with a nice dual core, lots of memory, a good sized hard drive, and with the impending demise of XP support I thought I'd set up at least two partitions, one for XP and one for Win7. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to install DOS (no floppy) and some of the other tricks I tried didn't work (System Commander fiddles directly with the hard drive, and XP/7 won't allow that - you need a less picky OS to initially install things. After that you're OK since the fiddling goes on before the OS loads). So, I had the choice of using either the XP/Win7 dual-boot option, or a third-party boot loader.

Lots of folks seem to think that EasyBCD is a pretty cool and stable. Since it seemed so popular, I was surprised that search turned up nothing on this forum. This surprised me a little, since it's about the first thing I've ever found that somebody here hasn't fooled with.

So - anybody using it? Anybody else here use a multi-boot configuration? If so, how do you do it?
