How many different standalone applications do you use to manage your partitioning, imaging, and multi-boot configuration needs? Two? Three? Five? If you'd like to streamline your process and free up some of your valuable time, I'd suggest shrinking all of those functions down to the only application you need -- BootIt Next Generation.

BootIt Next Generation is your complete solution for creating partitions, imaging drives, and managing multi-boot setups. In no time at all, you'll be running as many operating systems as your heart desires, all off of a single hardware setup!

Compatibility problems won't be an issue with BootIt Next Generation. The software works across all version of Windows and supports x64 (AMD64/EM64T) and Windows 64bit OS (non-GPT). If you work with extremely large storage, you'll be pleased at BootIt Next Generation's ease at handling drives up to 2TB and partitions from 1 to 2TB.

In addition to creating, securely deleting, and undeleting partitions, BootIt Next Generation also performs non-destructive resizing for both NTFS as well as FAT/FAT32 drives. Can you imagine creating over 200 primary partitions on a single drive? With BootIt Next Generation, it's entirely possible!

If backup and recovery is the name of your game, you can use BootIt Next Generation to create disk images directly to optical media, plus you have the option of booting from any partition, an optical drive, or booting from multiple operating systems on a single partition!

Review what others have to say...
“This is by far the best boot manager I've tried, and well worth the $30.00. I experimented with several boot managers by Ghosting my hard drive so I didn't care if I blew everything up. This is the only one that seemed to be absolutely foolproof ... As hard drives become bigger and operating systems, ..., the future for boot managers is just straight up. This is the product to be on board with.
“Replaces Partition Magic, Ghost and Drive Image""This software is incredible!!! did I say incredible? :) $30 to register and it does the job of three $70 programs. Wow and guess what it's stable, which I personally love in my critical software...”- dakkon
“One of the best programs I ever used! This thing is a miracle. It allows you to have more than 4 primary partitions. That is basically what you need as the hard drive size grow gigantic. I recommend this to anyone who need to install Multi OS.
“Best Boot Manager ever! I've tried 'em all. Shareware, freeware, Lilo, Partition Commander, System Commander, et al. BootIt NG is the quickest to set up and never mucks up your system. .... My rating: Consumer's Choice!”- J. Borders
“I've been a fan of the BootIt line of boot managers since purchasing BootIt Lite about four years ago. And now I'm a fan of BootIt NG. If you're looking for a boot manager that's easy to use, yet also offers flexibility and power, look no further. I've tried such "big name" products as PartitionMagic's BootMagic, and believe me, they don't hold a candle to BootIt NG. As the owner of a software development company, I'm using BootIt NG to give us a multi-boot system consisting of Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, and XP, and it has proved key to the success of our software testing capabilities. Try it. You'll like it.”- B. Marcum
“This is a valued utility for me, and one which I needed for three main reasons. 1) Keep my work and home environments completely independent, 2) allow for an independent test environment to trial software without cluttering or risking a corruption on my hard-earned initial installations. 3) enable snapshots of my current installation for backups. The graphical interface, boot flexibility and partition backup features are easy to use and meet all my requirements ....
“I have tested this software on several PCs running various operating systems (including NT4 Server, NT4 Workstation, Windows 95B, Windows 98 and Windows 3.11). Have used most of the features except the one that allows more than 4 OSs per hard drive and the Multi-OS. All tested features work great! I would recommend this product to any experienced PC user. I have also used Partition Magic (PM) quit a bit and have decide the BootIt is best for my needs...”- A. Vexans

Stefan Hauber Once in a while the master-boot-record of my boot-harddisk is destroyed somehow. My current backup/restore-program does not touch it, so the current restore-actions are: (i) ReInstall Windows XP on the harddisk (This repairs the mbr). (ii) Run a 'Restore' with my backup-program. (Has to be done, since (i) overwrites some files)

So, is it possible to just overwrite the mbr (for a chosen OS) with the desired bootable mbr?

Mar 19 2010 at 8:14pm Copy Link

TeraByte You can via partition work / view mbr / std mbr (or win7 mbr) / apply.

K H I have a very old application, WordPerfect 6.1 (a Win95 app), which I miss soooo much. The newer version I purchased, WP X3, to work with my XP system, is a p_ _ _ poor substitute. I also own a license and have the CD for Win95. I tried to get a tech to set up my system to dual boot w/Win95 and XP both installed - just so I could use my older version of WP - but was told that it wouldn't be feasible because I'd get constant blue screens.

NOW I see this program on Bits and, reading the "Real Users Say", it seems that some people have done this without problems. I would really appreciate hearing from the developer about this. Is it doable?

Thanks.

Mar 24 2010 at 4:10am Copy Link

TeraByte yes, of course done all the time. If you hae Win95A you need to keep it within the first 8G of the drive. If your have the OSR2 version it can go other places. http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/howto/ has a bunch of tutorials and videos - installations are always the same... create partition ,create boot item, attempt booting that boot item, install to the existing partition, reactivate after installation completes.

I reported the problem to the webmaster and he asked me whick web browser I was using. In order to test, I switched to Firefox and if you see this, it seems to work properly.

H. H. Hallol,
1.is it possible to use bootit without risk, when the disk is already partitioned by another software (e.g. partition magic or acronis disk director), or may there occur problems?

2. what kind of backup do you recommend for a disk, which has plenty partitions, so that not all data get lost, when bootit may crash?
thank you for answering soonly
with kind regards

TeraByte Right when you create the boot disk using makedisk it allows floppy, ISO, CD/DVD/BD, and UFD (USB Flash Drives). The Floppy (even USB floppy), CD/DVD/BD will always boot like a floppy and allow "welcome to setup" (if created in normal mode). For a UFD, it all depends on the BIOS. Some will boot it fine in normal mode (as a non-partitioned device (big floppy)), some will boot it in that mode as a HD, others will only boot if it's partitioned, others only if partitionex is used. This has to do with limitation of the BIOS programmers implementation of the BIOS support for UFD booting. When it boots as a HD, BING will assume it's already installed and show with a boot menu.

As far as using it with other partitioning software, yes, you can install to a system with existing partitions. You can continue to use other partitioning software provided you use BING in "limited" mode where it only supports 4 primaries. If you enable support for more than 4 then you should only use BING to create/expand partitions. You can use any of the TeraByte Unlimited imaging tools which supports the EMBR which BING uses. It's recommended to use BING for partitioning because it partitions the drive proper standards from the latest Win7 going all the way back to DOS. There are some (Linux) tools that don't.

H. H. Hallo,
thank you for answering promptly. Regarding your answer, I've the following 3 questions:
1. is there a special discount if buying booit and image for windows together today (I know, that image for windows has been offered here seperately, but since I already spent money on buying /upgrading acronis true image and norton ghost, I din't see any need to buy a further imaging software.
But since it doesn't seem to be sure, that norton ghost and acronis backup the embr, buying bootit would make it necessary to spent money for image for windows, whicht would make it quite exprensive)?
2. when using t "no compression" in image for windows, does it allow to directly access /copy,..the backedup files seperately via windows explorer or is the backup nevertheless in a special image format, so that one has to use the image viewer and image software?
3. do you plan to allow saving of sperate folders too (not only whote partition) in the future too?
4. what's about handling virtual machines (e.g. vmware or virtual box)
thank you for answering again
with kind regards
H.

Mar 27 2010 at 11:15am Copy Link

TeraByte If you want the advanced partitioning of more than 4 than you'd want something like Image for Windows (however BING does have basic imaging built in). Otherwise, you can use what you want. Inside bootitng.zip there is a EMBR.ZIP with a readme that shows how you can use other software to fully restore a system with BING using other software. Image for Windows/Linux/DOS already supports restoring indivudal files/folders via tbiview or tbimount (mounted as a windows driver letter). You won't see file/folder level backup in the imaging products because it's not a simple file backup utility (you can find those dime a dozen). VM's are already supported. For VHD/VMDK files direct or within the VM and for any other VM within the VM (virtualbox has some bugs if you have more than 1 HD where only 1 HD is reported so to use BING or IFD within it you may have to use a utility we provide where you can force the number of HD's in the BIOS).

Power Gamer What exactly is the difference between "Std MBR" and "Win7 MBR" options in Partition Work? Manual only mentions that "Win7 MBR is a Windows 7 specific version which may be required for Win7 to boot on certain systems". This is not enough info about the difference for me to decide what kind of MBR would be better to put onto my new HDD. Please explain the difference in more detail (technical details are welcome). Many thanks in advance.
