OS Selector

Acronis OS Selector is a powerful utility incorporated into Acronis Disk Director® Suite 10.0. It is a boot manager that allows you to have multiple operating systems on the same machine and easily boot any of them. To avoid accidental deletion of your priceless data, you can dedicate the same computer for different users – each of them will be able to boot their own system without accessing the others’ partitions.

Your favorite games and applications don't work with Windows Vista? Simply install both Vista and your old Windows version and reboot when necessary.

You have probably heard and read much about Linux, but never tried it before? Acronis OS Selector will help you to resize your partitions, including NTFS, and provide room for Linux.

Acronis OS Selector allows you to install different multi-boot systems for your children, your work and for software tests. You can also protect multi-boot OSes with passwords.

Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.0 is THE BEST CHOICE if you are looking for the fastest, easiest, most intuitive boot manager!
