BootIt 1.00 was released at the beginning of 1995 and contained several new innovative technologies such as the ability to:

• Have more than 4 primary partitions
• Position partitions on the fly
• Swap diskette drive A: and B: a feature that makes it possible to boot either diskette drive.
• Swap hard drives, a feature that makes it possible to boot DOS or NT from a second physical hard drive.

BootIt 2.00 was released towards the end of 1996 and contained even more innovative technologies such as:

• The Extended Master Boot Record (EMBR): a standard for having more than 4 primary partitions on a hard drive as well as an extensible firmware interface for the Intel platform.
• A complete partitioning and multi-boot product in one.

As time went on, new innovations were introduced such as:

• Booting from the next BIOS device
• Booting NT above 2GB

In May 1998 BootIt Direct and BootIt Lite were released to fill an existing gap between available features and those requested by users.

Today there is BootIt Next Generation: the first all-in-one partitioning, multi-boot, and imaging utility. It is a completely re-written product that is easy to use, has an attractive graphical user interface and contains more features than all prior BootIt products combined.
