Although, I thought I read in the manual that it was possible although not recommended. So, of course, I had to use the Disk Director rescue CD in order change the active partition to the 1st primary partition, and I was able to successfully boot unto Windows XP that I had originally copied from I realized that maybe the 2nd copy didnt work because the MBR was probably screwed up since the partition wasn't exactly at the same location. But realized something went wrong, after trying to boot from the 2nd Primary Partition, an error would come up "NTLDR missing". I was hoping to install (3) separate copies of Windows XP Home Ed on my system on Disk 0 (Master Hard Drive), by imaging the 1st partition, a 10GB partition, which was Drive C, which contained a clean install of Windows XP Home Ed (using True Image) and copying it on a 2nd, and 3rd Primary Partition. I just bought True Image and Disk Director about a week ago. Now you should be able to choose between these two Windows installations and they should work correctly. Multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional (second copy)" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect Please open the "boot.ini" file (in the operating system properties) and modify it in the following way: Please connect your first HDD to the computer and boot it up from this first HDD into Acronis OS Selector boot menu. Then please boot your computer from the second HDD and let this copy of Windows to boot up. After that please shut down your computer and disconnect the first HDD. Please run Disk Director from Acronis OS Selector boot menu and copy your system partition from your first HDD to your second HDD. You want to have a second copy of this operating system on your second HDD. Multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect Your "boot.ini" file looks like shown below:ĭefault=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
Situation: You have Windows operating system running on the first HDD and Acronis Disk Director Suite with Acronis OS Selector installed.
Let me describe the procedure how to install the second copy of Windows to the second HDD (requires Acronis Disk Director Suite 9.0).
