I can't speak to PQBoot, but for BootIt NG, it uses a method of faking out the BIOS. Even though a partition may be the 3rd physical partition on the drive, you can make the computer believe its the first partition on the drive, by use of the Boot Menu items.

http://www.bootitng.com/kb/article.php?id=159 nor
anything else I've read mentions whether to count
hidden Partitions. I dual boot XP so I have to hide a
primary with PQboot or PM7 but I'm gonna try both
unhidden with 1 active.
PS- in my case, only 1 partition entry works fine & the
OS selections NEVER appear!
Your help is MUCH appreciated. Thanks- bye- Larry
Any advise is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.
