That's right opposite to my experience with this product. I have it installed on
a dozen of boxes with no problems. May be, you own a (badly) cracked version? If
not, what did their support say?

You may want as well to check some free alternatives. There is "bootmenu"
(appeared recently in c.o.l.announce); at home I use chos - the latter allows to
choose the kernel image (for linux), not just the partition, as opposite to
syscom and bootmenu. Bootmenu proved to work being installed on an Ontrack'ed
disk. Others probably do as well, but I personally haven't tested.
The real advantage of using syscom over the others I've mentioned is that it can
work with Win95 & DOS sharing same partition. In contrary to bootmenu, it also
saves its configuration on a partition, not just in MBR, so in case of boot
virus or disk crash you don't have to configure it from scratch, given you do
backups regularly, of course.
