[Christopher F. Martin]

The problem of multiple file systems is solved by the Partition Magic
software that John Rogers mentioned. It allows one to use different file
systems (such as FAT and NTFS) on the same machine, with different
operating systems in each partition. I have this program and it works
quite well. I do not currently have multiple operating systems.

One could create the same setup without Partition Magic, but it involves
using complex command-line utilities and delving deeply into Microsoft
documentation, much of which is hard to find. For $70, Parition Magic
makes the job quite simple with no research required.
