Installation Wizard that is built into Acronis OS Selector to install
Windows 95/98/ME.
• Are there any ways to change Acronis OS Selector configuration from DOS or
Windows?
No, and there are several reasons to that. First, Acronis OS Selector may
be installed on a separate partition that is not available to other
operating systems, and second, Setup uses special Acronis OS Selector
Loader features that are unavailable in any operating system. Also, the
way the hard disks appear from an operating system may differ
drastically from the way BIOS sees them.
• A 13-gigabyte hard disk is plugged into my computer, so I have been using
the Maxtor MaxBlast utility to access more than 8 gigabytes. This program is
installed in MBR. Will it work with Acronis OS Selector?
Acronis OS Selector is fully compatible with drive overlay programs such
as MaxBlast, DM6 DDO or EZ-Drive. Of course Acronis OS Selector should
be installed on a hard disk after such program is installed and loaded into
memory.
• How can I uninstall Acronis OS Selector?
Usually there is no need to uninstall Acronis OS Selector, since it
occupies very little space, but makes work with operating systems more
flexible. Fast operating system configuring and partition structure
managing tools are always close at hand. If you find that you generally
do not need to select an operating system in the Boot menu, you can
select the Boot At Once mode (see 5.7 «Acronis OS Selector Options») or
temporarily de-activate Acronis OS Selector (see 5.9 «Deactivating
Acronis OS Selector»).
If you still have need to uninstall Acronis OS Selector, never do it
manually, but instead invoke the Acronis OS Selector uninstallation
routine. To do so, reboot the computer, enter the Acronis OS Selector
Boot menu, start Setup from it, and choose the «Uninstall Acronis OS
Selector…» item from the «Other» menu of the Setup. You can also
initiate Acronis OS Selector MERGE uninstallation by booting from the
Acronis OS Selector installation media.
• I have a Windows 98 operating system installed on a FAT32 partition of my
computer, and I also want to install Windows 2000 so that it uses NTFS file
system. Can Acronis OS Selector help me in this case?
Yes, it can. You have to install Acronis OS Selector and run Disk
Administrator from its Boot menu. Next select the FAT32 partition,
decrease its size, and create an NTFS partition in the resulting free
space. Now you can install Windows 2000 by selecting the new partition
in its Setup program.
