When it can load >FreeBSD, where Partition Magic has failed, I got very impressed :-) SyMon can be found at http://symon.da.ru/ Very interesting concept. Allows to have several combinations of up to 4 partitions from a maximum of 36 by creating the partition table dynamically: "SyMon is a program that allows you to maintain up to 36 partitions on one hard drive and arrange up to 20 operating systems in these partitions. The main problem is preservation of compatibility with existing software. The first thing is providing only four partitions per operating system. This limitation is removed by organizing internal partition table of SyMon. All operating systems are compatible with MBR partition table so they do not use more than four partitions. According to this you may arrange many systems by choosing any 4 partitions from 36 for each. Thus, the description of operating system consists of four partitions that it should use and the bootable partition that should be used to start this OS." The website is available in Russian, English and French.
