User Guide

• Selection of hidden partitions (partitions that will be inaccessible to the

operating system and would not have letters assigned to them). Hiding

partitions is done with the Hide button, and they are grayed in the list.

• Selection of active partitions. If even one hard disk other then the first

one has multiple primary partitions that are available to the operating

system, toggling the Active flag affects the letter assignment order. A

primary partition is set as active with the Set active button and is

marked as «Act» in the list.

After configuring the partitions for the would-be installed operating system

click the Next > button to proceed to the last page of the Wizard. There all

your choices will be summarized (Windows version, installation package type

and the numbers and letters of the boot and system folder partition).

Now click the Finish button, and a special «Windows … installation»

configuration will be created. You have to boot this configuration to start the

installation of the new operating system. In some cases manual editing of

the configuration created may be required. For example if the CD-ROM driver

that is provided with Acronis OS Selector (PTSATAPI.SYS) does not support

your CD-ROM drive, you have to edit the CD-ROM driver loading line in the

CONFIG.SYS file and enter the name of your driver there.
