that's it!

There is no short anwser for this question. If one want to know which is
the best, just try to use lilo/grub/winNT boot loader.

I personal use DrakX instead of PartitionMagic for repartitioning the HDD.
When I got Mandrake running, I install win98/winxp, boot from a FDD into
Mandrake and reactive grub | lilo.
