I have here a part of a manual for my bootmanager, I translated it by mij
self, but I think its no correct English. Is here someone who can make it
good English. Thanks in advance.

Install Againg starting HWBOOT of HWBOOT32, installs HWBOOT. the last one
via a choice-window. If you have only one Windows installation,
but 2 or more primaire partitions, you can with HWBOOT jump to
the 2th, evt. 3th or 4th partition, and now it will hanging. Of
corse, there is no system there. Now you need the floppy-version,
because HWBOOT have to removed. This is because The Windows
installation overwrites the MBR (Thank you, Bill :-))
Remove HWBOOT trough starting with the floppy, and then starting
HWBOOT. The active partition is still the second (or 3 or 4)
so you can install Windows there. After installing your second
Windows, you have to installing HWBOOT again, and now you have
your multi-boot. Just one thing: The other partition(s) with XP
need to have the boot-files NTDETECT.COM, ntldr, boot.ini in the
root.
Parameters HWBOOT has several parameters, like 'hide' and 'rest'. 'hide'
hides all the primairy partitions, and 'rest' make them visible.
They are meant for Windows 95/98/ME for making more primairy
partitions with FDISK.
HWBOOT hide hide all the primairy partitions (1e drive)
HWBOOT rest Make then visible again and make the first active.
Those commands do not installing or remove something. Of corse
it's a good idea to work with a startup -floppy with HWBOOT.
For the more recent Windows-versions are there the parameters
1, 2, 3 and 4 with evt. z or v behind it. This is if you want
installing with a pre-choice. if you installs with
hwboot32 1z
the PC will starting up (without interruption) in the first
partition, with the other systempartition(s) visible ('z' is
from the Dutch word for visible, 'zichtbaar' and 'v' is from
the Dutch word for hidden, 'verborgen'). Of corse if another
choice were made during the boot, it overrules the pre-choice.
If you start HWBOOT32 without parameters, it comes up with the
choice-Window, were you can choose all the possibillities. If
there are f.e. 2 primairy partitions, it has no effect if you
choose the 3th or 4th choice, then it installs without pre-choice.
hwboot(32) 1z Start up with the 1th partition, others visible.
hwboot(32) 1v Start up with the 1th partition, others hidden.
hwboot(32) 2z Start up with the 2th partition, others visible.
hwboot(32) 2v Start up with the 2th partition, others hidden.
hwboot(32) 3z Start up with the 3th partition, others visible.
hwboot(32) 3v Start up with the 3th partition, others hidden.
hwboot(32) 4z Start up with the 4th partition, others visible.
hwboot(32) 4v Start up with the 4th partition, others hidden.
If you installs without parameters or the 1st choice from the choice-
window, the PC boots up in the same settins as the previous start.
