How to install operating system by using BootIt Next Generation |
| Install an OS in its own single partition—the most common choice |
| 1. Install BootIt NG first. |
| |
| 2. Use the Work with Partitions dialog box to create a partition for
your OS. |
 |
| |
| 3. To create a new menu item for booting the new partition, on the desktop, click Boot Edit. |
| |
| 4. Click Add to add a new menu item. |
| |
| 5. Select the partition that you created in step 2 as the boot partition. |
| |
| 6. Under One Time Option, do one of the following: |
|
If the installation boot media is a floppy disk, then select the Floppy check box. |
|
If the drive to boot the installation boot media is set to boot after your hard disk, then
select the Next BIOS Device check box. |
|
If the drive to boot the installation boot media is set to boot before your hard disk, then
select the BIOS Sequence check box. |
| Some systems hang when using the Next BIOS Device option and others will use the
BIOS Sequence option as a Boot Next Device option. In the end, you can boot from the
CD/DVD any way you want; just be sure that the last booted boot item is the one to
which you are installing. Even a simulated boot is fine. |
| |
|
| 7. Click OK twice to save the new item and return to the desktop. |
| |
| 8. On the desktop, click Resume. |
| |
| 9. Insert the OS installation media. |
| |
| 10. Boot the new boot item that you created in step 3. |
| If you did not select a One Time Option in step 6, depending on the partition, it will either
display a message saying that there is no operating system installed on the partition or that
the partition is not bootable and presents the option to boot from the floppy disk instead. |
| Press the appropriate key to continue or ctrl-alt-del if you need to boot from a CD/DVD drive
that is setup (in the BIOS) to boot before the hard drive. |
| The installation media is now booted and you can begin installation to drive C. |
|
| How to create paired partitions or Multi-OS installations by using BootIt NG |
| Complete the following steps when installing the bulk of a Microsoft operating system (MS OS)
on another hard disk or drive letter. This also applies to installing a MS OS to a volume. The
difference between paired partitions and Multi-OS installations is that using Multi-OS you can
share the boot partition (step 1 to many step 2s) whereas with paired partitions the pair of
partitions (step 1 and step 2) are always different. |
| |
| 1. If needed, use the Work with Partitions dialog box (the picture displayed above) to create a
partition for the OS on HD0. |
| You can create the partition as small as possible depending on the OS. A 5 MB partition may be enough. Verify that the Format check box is selected. If you want to use Multi-OS,
select the Multi-OS check box. |
| |
| 2. If needed, use the Work with Partitions dialog box to create the main OS partition or
volume. If available, verify that the Format check box is selected. |
| |
| 3. To create a boot menu item for the new OS partition, on the desktop, click Boot Edit. |
| |
| 4. Click Add to add a new menu item. |
| |
| 5. Select the partition that you created in step 1 as the boot partition. |
| |
| 6. Under MBR Details, select an entry for the correct HD, and then click Fill. |
| |
| 7. From the list, select the main OS partition. |
| |
| 8. Under One Time Option, do one of the following: |
|
If the installation boot media is a floppy disk, then select the Floppy check box. |
|
If the drive to boot the installation boot media is set to boot after your hard disk, then
select the Next BIOS Device check box. |
If the drive to boot the installation boot media is set to boot before your hard disk, then
select the BIOS Sequence check box. |
| |
|
| 9. Click OK twice to save the new item and return to the desktop. |
| |
| 10. On the desktop, click Resume. |
| |
| 11. Insert the OS installation media. |
| |
| 12. Boot the new boot item that you created in step 3. |
| |
| 13. When OS Setup starts, select the existing (main) OS partition that you created in step 2.
Once setup completes, the OS boots from the partition on HD0 (step 1) and transfers itself to
main OS partition (step 2). |

| OS Installation Notes |
|
If you don’t have partitions limited under settings, then you should usually use the advanced
or custom installation choices to verify that the installation routine doesn’t try to create a new
partition. Because the OS and system tools only see the partitions that are in the MBR, if it
creates or moves a partition, it may put it right on top of an existing one that is not currently
in the MBR partition table. You can, however, create or move volumes in an extended
partition provided that the actual extended partition doesn’t get moved or expanded. |
|
Some operating systems (such as Windows 95/98) deactivate BootIt NG. If that is the case,
all you need to do is boot with your BootIt NG installation disk, and then select the
Reactivate BootIt NG option. |
|
One common configuration is to have multiple primary partitions—one for each operating
system— and one common (shared) extended partition for data. To do this, indicate the boot
partition, and then add the extended partition to the MBR for each boot menu configuration. |
