The only way to do this is to use Partition Magic 4.0s Boot Manager program.
This program will allow you to pick the OS you wish to Boot to at post.
It will then adjust the partitions to reflect that OS as being on the C or
boot able partition.

Another approach would be to use System Commander to manage your multiple
boots. System commander moves system files around to boot you into the OS
of choice ....it does not use a hide partition approach.

The hide partition approach is theoretically the best way to go ....until
there is a problem at which time you will have a big mess on your hands.
However both programs do their jobs very well and if you don't screw
something up you should have a stable ....all be it complex and problematic
setup.
