Hi,
I have a PC whose hard disk I split into 3 partitions using the latest Disk Director 11. The first partition is my main Win7 64Bit install. The second partition is a copy of the first partition. the third is empty for now awaiting a possible Ubuntu install. I installed DD11 under Win 7 to do the partitions and the copy. After the copy I installed OSS on the first partition and used it to boot into either WIN7 partition.

The reason I created the second Win7 partition is that I want to upgrade this to Windows 8. I see that DD11 is not Windows 8 compatible. This is fine as I will probably use the initial WIN7 partition as my main machine for quite a while. What I'd like to know is there any patches or known workarounds/tricks to get OSS to see the 2 OS's (Win7 & Win8) at bootup and give me the option to select one?

Thanks
Jim M.

I haven't played around with Windows 8 and OSS and currently don't have any plans to. However, I would think that all the same rules for Windows 7 would apply. Before upgrading I would make a complete backup of the drive in case things go wrong. Also, disable the Fast Startup option in Windows 8 so you don't end up with corrupted partitions.
