During the installation of Acronis OS Selector, the hidden system folder BOOTWIZ will be created on
your machine to keep the program loader. Acronis OS Selector will also copy operating system files
found on your machine into this folder to avoid problems during the booting process and to simplify
adding a new operating system in the future.
Acronis OS Selector can be installed in the Typical or Custom mode.
During Typical installation, the BOOTWIZ folder will be created in the system hard disk volume that
contains the Windows files and folders.
Using the Custom installation option, you will be able to select the location of the BOOTWIZ folder.
This might come in handy when a system volume is accidentally destroyed or damaged. In that case,
you will be able to access the Acronis OS Selector boot menu even if the system volume is
unavailable.
