    Hi, I have Two Hdd on my computer (one is in RAID, one is in ATA). Making on first HDD (ATA) a 10 GB Primary and the rest for Extended logical. This is 2 partition C and D. On the second HDD (Raid) make a primary 10 GB and the rest for Data, Extended Logical. So then I have 4 partition. Call this 1/1 1/2 2/1 and 2/2. I planed to install two Windows XP OS, one on the 1/1 and one for 2/1. As i installed the first OS on the 1/1 unplugged the second HDD, and untill installing the second OS for 2/1 unplugged the first HDD. After completting the both OS install process, connecting again all HDD on. First time booting from Acronis recovery CD and install the Acronis OS selector on the 1/2 partition. From now begining the problems !
    When i want to boot the fist OS then must i by Menü-partition 1/1 set to active 1/2 visible 2/1 HIDE and 2/2 visible. By booting the second OS is 1/1 HIDE 1/2 visible 2/1 Visible and active 2/2 visible. So can i change the 2 OS. BUT 1/1 and 2/1 is ALWAYS active and cannot to Hiding the checkbox is gray. And when i so booting take the error message Chekdisk or same.
    Finally my answer why write Acronis on the homepage by Acronis DD OS selector "It allows you to install 100 or more operating systems (OSes) on one computer" when its not working by 100 not 2 eighter ? When its even so possible to running 2 OS on 2 HDD please answer me how and what did I wrong.

    Thank You
    ps:sorry about my wrong english i hope its understandable what i want ;)

    I have 2 drives also, and it works. All I did was to change the boot order of the drives in the DISK Tab. Works great, but there is a small problem I'm working with support on, see my post in the forum about error 3.

    Hello Pista,

    Please note that when the problem is complicated it is much easier and faster to solve it via e-mail because this way gives you much more opportunities to get diagnostic info that our Development Team needs to help you with the solution. When the issue is known or doesn't need any diagnostic info to be sent we always try to solve the problem here without having to contact Acronis Support Team.

    The main thing is that the same problem can be resulted from different reasons. This means that each time we need diagnostic info of the particular customer who has this problem.

    Thank you.
