7.3 Setting the Boot Menu

After Acronis OS Selector is installed, the boot menu is automatically activated.

If your CD/DVD drive is set as the first bootup device in BIOS, a bootable CD/DVD inside

the drive may prevent OS Selector from starting at bootup and force loading its own

bootable program or OS. We highly recommend that you set the system bootup sequence

in BIOS so that the HDD will be the first device.

To prevent the Acronis OS Selector boot menu from being invoked at bootup, select

Deactivate OS Selector in the Tools section of the Acronis OS Selector main menu

under Windows or in the respective boot menu section at PC bootup. Then you will be

prompted to select an operating system to be booted after the boot menu is

deactivated.

You can avoid appearing the Acronis OS Selector boot menu at bootup even if OS Selector

is active. To do so, press F6 immediately after turning on the computer, before the first

messages will appear on the screen. This will boot an OS from the partition that is active,

according to Master Boot Record (MBR).

7.4 Booting operating systems

You can boot any operating system with Acronis OS Selector:

• From the boot menu (if activated)

• From under Windows from the Acronis OS Selector main window
