I can't remember the location, but go to yahoo under comps->software->os->boot managers (or something along those lines), and try to find it. It's a cool program... basically, it boots your original os unless you hold the shift key while booting. In that case, it gives you a menu to boot from. Well, the interface is pretty spartan... you have to select a partition, and to get to drive four partition one you would have to press 0 0 0 1, though it's a nice program that works well (at least for me :) and also comes with source (note the source is in _extmain.asm, not extipl.c), so you can modify it to your needs.
