if using Vista take a look at this, if just xp or earlier the boot manager in that should suffice

OSL2000, free to try, but a delay is added if you use it for free for a long time. The good thing about this manager is that it does not rely on part of its program stored on another partition. You are therefore free to delete any of your partition, move them or whatever. Just so long as you have one bootable partition left, your machine will boot.

It is working really well for us, so hopefully it will for you too. Its just so much easier than any other boot manager I have had the displeasure of using
