System Commander 8

Multiple OS Management and Partitioning in one package!

Product Information

Easily add and remove operating systems (OSes) - great for safe migrations to a new OS, trying out Linux, or any other OS you would like. And, if you're worried about upgrading your existing OS, System Commander 8 takes care of that too, by ensuring that you can continue to use your existing OS, even if you run into issues with your new OS.  System Commander 8's (SC8) patented OS Wizard technology makes it easier than ever to prepare your computer for your new OSes. Simply choose the OS you plan to install and the OS Wizard will set up your system automatically! Or if you prefer a more hands on approach, you can override the OS Wizard's recommendations.

Without any other tools, SC8 safely and automatically prepares your hard drive to accept your new OS while protecting everything already on your computer - data, applications and other OSes. No drivers or resident memory are used, so there are not conflicts with any OS. When you first install SC8, it automatically detects your existing OSes and includes them in the OS selection menu.

SC8's ActiveFS (Active FileSystem) technology makes it even easier to install into different file systems. With the ActiveFS technology, you can safely and easily install SC8 into Windows any Windows OS, from Longhorn/2003/XP to 95, regardless of their file system. System Commander is the only OS manager that can be installed into FAT, FAT32, or NTFS.

Any operating system.  Any time.  Automatically!
