1.  WINNT32.EXE setup program is run from Windows 95/98/ME or Windows 

NT/2000/XP. In this case you answer all the questions from the wizard as 
if you are going to install a new operating system. When control gets to 
the Setup for the first time, choose «Upgrade/Repair» and select the 
configuration you are going to restore. Next you will only boot the 
created installation configuration. 

2.  WINNT.EXE setup program is run from DOS. In this case no intervention is 

required until control gets to Setup for the first time. Here you also have 
to choose «Upgrade/Repair» and select the configuration you are going 
to restore. Next you will only boot the created installation configuration. 

3.  The computer is booted from a bootable CD-ROM. In this case you have to 

strictly follow these instructions: 
•  Try booting the configuration you are going to restore. 
•  Insert the bootable CD-ROM. 
•  Reboot the computer. 
•  Enter BIOS Setup and turn on booting from CD-ROM if it is not yet 

enabled. 

•  Boot from CD-ROM before getting to Acronis OS Selector Boot Menu. 

Now the setup program is running, and you can choose the «Upgrade» 
operating system option. Your further actions depend on the functionality 
of the setup program and on exactly what you are going to do.
