This section allows you to specify the location of system files required by the 
given operating system. Examples of these files might be command.com, 
config.sys, msdos.sys, and autoexec.bat. 

For all Windows operating systems, the list of system files is populated 
automatically and can be changed if needed. 

 

Properties of system files will provide you with the following options: 

  Automatic  deletion of a selected file with Acronis OS Selector under the 

given OS. Check Yes, delete when the operating system starts to 
enable the option. This might become necessary when two system files are in 
conflict causing possible OS bootup problems. 

  During installation, Acronis OS Selector automatically determines system files 

of any Windows versions and makes them Changeable. You can change this 
option manually if needed.  

  For operating systems that use FAT16/FAT32 file systems (Windows 9x, DOS) 

the IO.SYS file must be located in the starting 2 KB of root folder. If you set 
fragmentation limit for this file (in bytes), Acronis OS Selector will 
automatically defragment it when the limit is exceeded. 

You can’t hide a partition under the Windows 2000 operating system just by 
setting Hidden options. To perform this operation, you will need to check the 
Force hiding partitions box available in this section.
