How to install new OSS?

Thread needs solution

I have used OSS before and the new (DD11) noticed it. But it can not uninstall the old versions and I can not add OSS to my current boot disk.

For various reasons I have more that one active boot partitions on different HD and now I would like to install OSS to this current drive, but there is no option for that in the OSS menu. Is there a command line option or something that I can decide myself where to install it?

Or can I remove the old versions "by hand"?

When installing OSS, select the Custom option to select the partition.

You can manually deactivate OSS 10 by following these instructions or by just repairing the MBR.

Once deactivated, you can delete the bootwiz.sys file and the BOOTWIZ folders from the partitions (some of these are hidden). Warning: Don't do this if you have OSS "protecting" your Windows files. It may cause data loss.

Do you have a current backup image of the drive(s)? If not, you may want to backup before installing OSS (just in case).

Hello,

I am little confused, I do not know how to select Custom in OSS, all I get it the attached panel and I can not see any Custom options. All other option I have tried do not work. They find the OSS10 from other drives, but they can not do anything usefull with them.

Also I found out that DD11 is a little bit limited with the HD options, so I can not see how to do the things suggested for the boot partition. I have Win7 64bit, if that makes any difference. It would be nice if you could include some features of the old DD10 Studio to this Home edition or are you hoping to make an other version?

The Custom option is only available when you install OSS. If you want to use it, you would need to uninstall OSS and then reinstall it and select the option.

An Advanced version of DD 11 is being worked on. I don't know when it will be available.
