Symantec BootMagic is a legacy boot manager that simplifies running multiple operating systems on a single PC. It provides an easy-to-use startup menu and tools to configure which OS loads by default, set timeouts, and organize entries. By hiding or unhiding and activating primary partitions as needed, it helps keep operating systems from interfering with each other, making dual-boot and multi-boot setups more reliable.

Key points:

  • Designed for BIOS/MBR-era systems and older operating systems (e.g., DOS and Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP), with limited support for some Linux setups
  • Typically requires installation on a primary FAT or FAT32 partition
  • Long discontinued and not designed for UEFI/GPT hardware or modern operating systems

Best suited for retro computing or maintaining legacy environments, BootMagic offers a straightforward way to manage multi-boot configurations on older PCs but is not recommended for contemporary systems.

Symantec BootMagic is developed by Symantec Corporation. The most popular version of this product among our users is 8.0. The name of the program executable file is BMCFG32.EXE.
