Can I switch to Acronis OS Selector

Thread needs solution

I have Windows 7 and Wndows XP installed with Windows Boot Manager to select which OS to boot. I would like to replace Windows Boot Manager with the OS Selector. So far I have had no success, losing all visibility to Windows XP, and OS Selector can no longer find it, even though it's still on the hard drive in a primary partition. Does anyone know if it's possible to make this switch or do I have to go through the pain of re-installing XP?

OSS doesn't do well with scenarios like that. It does much better with isolated systems. You would need to separate XP and Windows 7 so they boot independently (each from their own partition).

Is there a particular reason you're trying to use OSS instead of the Windows Boot Manager?
