------------------------------------

BOOTPART lets you add partitions to the Windows NT Multiboot menu.
Usually,
the only partitions on the Windows NT multiboot are the one or more
installations of
Windows NT.

With BOOTPART, you can add any partition to the menu. You can add OS/2
Multiboot or Linux Partitions (with Lilo) to the menu.

===>> bi arkadas lilo ile ugrasmak istemeyenler icin bu programi
önermisitide .... <=====

It seems it's actually impossible to add an HPFS partition with OS/2
boot.
If you find a workaround, please let me know.

BOOTPART creates a 512 byte file that contains an image of a boot sector
that loads the boot sector of the partition. That is, it creates a small
program
that loads and executes the specified partition's boot sector.
Thereafter, this file is
declared in C:\BOOT.INI (a text file used by the Windows NT boot menu).
The
boot sector comes from FDFormat and WinImage.

Note that under Windows NT, BOOTPART must be run from the Administrator
account.

FDFormat can be downloaded under the name FDFORM.ZIP in the PCHW
compuserve
forum, or by ftp
(ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/msdos/diskutil/fdform18.zip).
This tool, written by C.H. Hochstatter, formats floppies under MSDOS in
normal (1.44 MB) or special (1.68 MB) capacity. It will also write a
boot sector that
boots the harddisk.

WinImage, a Windows (Windows 3.1, 95 and NT) shareware I've written, can
read, write, and format floppies in any capacity (including 1.68 MB),
and
build an image file of a floppy. It can extract from, or inject files
into
an image, and change the image size. The WinImage web site is :

  http://www.winimage.com/winimage.htm

It can be downloaded under name WINIMA25.ZIP in the WUGNET compuserve
forum,
or by ftp (ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/win3/diskutil/winima25.zip).
(and soon WINIMA30.ZIP with image file compression !!)
