China DOS Union

Nowadays, more and more PCs have more than one system installed. So, what tools do you use to achieve multi - system booting?
I use VCOM System Commander.

Hehe, it seems we are using the same one. We'll have more exchanges on the usage experience of System Commander in the future. Actually, I use other things too, but I mainly use System Commander myself.

Still System Commander is easy to use, with a graphical interface. It's convenient to set up. And it supports most systems. Back then, I used it because my BeOS couldn't work after using BEFS hard disk partitioning. Just a simple setup with System Commander and it started up.

Actually, I don't really care whether it's graphical or not. Since version 7.0 defaults to the graphical interface, I specifically changed it back to the previous text interface. For the latest version 8.13, since I don't have the serial number for installation under DOS, I'm still using version 7.05. I mainly like that System Commander is convenient for managing boot files, and another thing is that it supports installing multiple DOS systems on the same partition. But I've also found many strange problems with it during use, and some issues haven't been resolved yet. We'll discuss it separately later.

Just saw on the official website of V Communications that version 8.20 fixed a bug in version 8.13:

Fixed bug that prevented DOS from booting (v8.13 only)

Does anyone know where to download the cracked version of 8.20 and provide the installation serial number under DOS?

I recommend using SPFDISK, a very good partition and partition boot management tool!

I've used LILO, VCOM System Commander, BootMagic, OS loader (built-in to NT series systems), and SPFDISK! Some are easy to operate, and some are powerful.

Is there any need to say this?
Of course it's GRUB!

LILO seems to only support the Linux series, right?
Other things don't have the powerful and flexible commands of GRUB.

Take a look at the Boot Softpedia system boot rankings on linux.softpedia.com

Yeah, GRUB has been downloaded more than ten thousand times, and the others are basically hundreds.

CMLDR, I saw it before, but it's gone now. Who can upload one?

Functionally, syslinux is the most powerful. I use pxelinux the most, and its configuration file is the same as that of syslinux

GRUB is nice, simple and practical.

Using System Commander 7.05. It feels good.
