Default Partition Magic

Using 3 drives in my computer, if I want to have access to boot to the
drives, seperatley, and I use partition magic, to make the non-bootable
drives logical, then install XP on them, will that give me multiple boot
options I want?

Don't believe PMagic will allow you to make drives logical. They will show
up as three separate drives and you will need to treat them all separately.
Only additional partitions on any drives can be logical.

Try something like System Commander. You need a boot mgr, not
partition magic. The boot mgr will probably do the partioning
for you anyway.
