I want to be able to boot my sytem to Win 98 SE, XP Pro 64 and Vista Ultimate 64 at will.  Each OS on its own drive.

Would Acronis Boot Director 10.0 do what I need?  And well?

Here's the link:

Sorry; I can't tell you. But I can tell you that Acronis True Image has saved my bacon once, and that was well worth its $50 purchase price. Your hard-drive will someday take a powder. Get Acronis and a back-up drive before that happens. Save yourself the anguish...

You can also change your boot disk in bios and boot whichever OS you want.

Am currently doing that.  I was hoping Acronis would allow me to boot a particular drive without having to enter the bios.

And as for having backups?  I run Norton Ghost on my Vista Ultimate x64 install.  I use it to backup to three WD MyBook backup drives.  One lives in the documents firebox, one in the gunsafe and one in the garage.

You are seriously backed-up! Smart man...
