You load this sofware at bootup, it then extends the Master Boot Record of your computer. This allows you more flexibility with partitions and so on. I am sure this could all be done by an individual distro, buts its nice to be able to have a program which is point and click simple. It's not open source sadly :( but it is shareware, and if I recall, its not too expensive either. I use to use in a test lab to quickly simulate different MS OSes on the same hardware. But dont let that put you off, its very linux friendly! Btw, I use Kubuntu.
