Question for the experts: I installed DOS 7.10, WinME, and WinXP on C, D, and E in that order, but when booting I only get the WinME/WinXP dual-boot menu. How can I make the above three systems coexist? Thanks for the advice!

That means you simply did not install it successfully! MS-DOS 7.1 will ask whether you want to continue when WinME is present in the system; you must have chosen "No" and exited the DOS installer.

It is recommended to use partitioning software with multi-system boot loader support

Personally, I think the DOS system is best installed in an independent partition, to avoid conflicts with Windows systems. What I do is: according to the number of systems to be installed, use PartitionMagic to create n primary partitions. Then install each system separately in its corresponding partition, so that the systems do not interfere with each other. There is no need to worry that a problem with one system will affect the others.
