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.
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 from my web page http://www.winimage.com/othertl.htm

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, 95/98/Me and NT/2000/XP) 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 :
