Acronis os selector 8.0 User Manual

 

 

 

Since Acronis OS Selector supports various non-standard ways to position 
Windows 95/98/ME operating systems and also allows positioning several 
such operating systems so that they share system folder partitions, some 
preparatory actions are necessary in almost all cases. 

This is what the third mode of the Wizard is about. 

 

You should keep in mind that in order to prepare to install a new Windows 95/98/ME 

operating system the Wizard needs some DOS-compatible operating system (DR-

DOS, MS-DOS, PC-DOS) or, even better, a different version of Windows 95/98 (not 

Windows ME!), or the Wizard may be unable to continue. 

First you are prompted to select which version of the Windows operating 
system (Windows 95, Windows 95OSR2, Windows 98 or Windows Millennium 
Edition) you are going to install and to select the version of its installation 
package (CD-ROM, bootable CD-ROM, diskette set or a hard disk). 

 

Make your choice and click the Next > button. 

On the following page you will be able to configure the partition for the 
would-be installed operating system context. The following actions can be 
done with the list and the buttons below it: 

•  Selection of the boot partition (partition where the system files of the 

operating system will reside). You can select a logical partition, but then 
some of the partitions may become unavailable (the Wizard automatically 
marks these partitions as hidden). Boot partition is selected with the 

Boot part. button and is marked as «Boot» in the list. 

•  Selection of the system folders partition (the partition where the main part 

of the operating system will reside – usually these are the WINDOWS and 
Program Files folders). System folders partition is selected with the 

Win.Part. button and is marked as «Win» in the list.
