8.3.4.5 Folders

Acronis OS Selector automatically determines system folders for all Windows operating systems.

System folders contain files required for an operating system to work properly. Windows 2000/XP

utilizes Windows, Program Files, and Documents and Settings folders, while Windows 7 uses Program

Data, Users, and other folders.

For other operating systems (for example, Linux), you will have to specify system folders manually by

using the Add button. If needed, you can edit the list by using the Remove button.

Under other operating systems (for example, Linux), you can add folders to the system folders list only if the

host volumes are FAT16/32 or NTFS.

Each folder in the list has its Properties section which, with the help of the Enable/Disable

parameter, allows you to specify if the folder contents are to be restored at operating system

bootup. This can help avoid conflicts among multiple operating systems, making them invisible to

each other. For example, you will have to enable system folders recovery when installing another

Windows on a volume where one Windows operating system is already installed — see Installing

another Windows on the same volume (p. 67). When you copy an operating system using the Acronis

OS Selector Copy feature, the recovery option enables automatically.

 Enable – enable folder contents recovery at bootup;

 Disable – leave folder contents as is.

8.3.4.6 Files

This section allows you to specify the location of system files required by the given operating system

and edit these files. Examples of system 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 the IO.SYS file must be located in the

starting 2 KB of the root folder. If you set a fragmentation limit for this file (in bytes), Acronis OS

Selector will automatically defragment it when the limit is exceeded.

8.3.4.7 Advanced

You cannot hide a volume under a Windows 2000 operating system just by setting the Hidden (p. 62)

options. To perform this operation, you will need to check the Force hiding partitions box available

in this section.

8.4 Editing operating systems

This section provides the means of operating system and shortcut management.
