What is Extended Operating System Loader?
Extended Operating System Loader
Multi-boot systems are not uncommon as users require access to more than one operating system in order to carry out various tasks.
Extended Operating System Loader (XOSL) is a boot managing utility that can help the user create a menu with multiple boot options. According to the developer, the application can work with as many as 24 boot items.
Features:
- Support for earlier generations of Windows (95/98, 2000)
- Installation options to DOS drive or specific partition
- Graphical user interface for easy management
- Ability to organize entries of various OSs
- Visual customization options
- Relies on Smart Boot Manager
Before trying out XOSL, keep in mind that the application has been developed for less advanced operating systems. As such, it offers support for earlier generations of Windows (95/98, 2000).
Although the operation is console-based, installing the tool should not be too difficult because the developer includes documentation files that provide all the proper instructions and points to the necessary utilities.
The two options available allow the user to install XOSL either to a DOS drive or to a specific partition; in the case of the latter, all the information on the drive is destroyed.
To make things easier on the user, the application makes available a graphical user interface that can be managed easily. It offers the possibility to organize the entries of the various OSs by moving them up and down in the list. Also, it provides some visual customization options, such as the ability to define its screen area.
XOSL relies on Smart Boot Manager, a tool that loads by BIOS and allows choosing the operating system the user wants to boot into.
Extended Operating System Loader is not designed for the regular user and may not work on modern operating systems.
