Are you currently using BING? If so (and it works okay for you), you may want to continue using it.

The Acronis OS Selector (OSS) program can most likely do what you want. However, Acronis has not updated the program in a while and it has some bugs which can make it difficult, though most of the bugs can be worked around.

Do you have a specific multi-boot setup in mind (drive/partition setup, operating systems wanted, etc.)?

Hallo MudCrab

first thanks for your reaction

Yes i use BootIt NG 1,83 installed from my system administrator
there are in he already makes 3 partitions

1) XP business (that i can work from home with terminal server)
2) XP for video (That i can use Pinnacle studio 11 for AVI to DVD)
3) Vista for gaming

the reason is that i don't want to have everything running in one installation because it makes the PC slow.

Now i try to fund something new en more easy to make en restore image

Is Acronis OS Selector the one i look for?

Thanks in advance

OSS doesn't make or restore images -- it is just a boot manager. True Image (TI) is the program that does that (at least in the Acronis product line).
