Angry Acronis OS Selector & Blue Screen of Death - 07-05-2009, 03:28 PM

Just a word of caution - I installed Acronis OS Selector and upon restarting ended up with the blue screen of death. A simple bootfx solved the problem but now Windows sees my HD as being completely full when it's not even close. Reinstalling means losing the 60gb of movies - yuck. Oh well, better to start fresh. Who knows what the program messed up. You may want to try a different program or just do it old school

That sucks. Acronis has always been good software for me. I wanted to try the OS selector but you may have changed my mind.

I'm not sure if it was just a problem with my Win 7 & Win XP config. You might be ok with a different OS combo? I was so sad I had to wipe the drive. Had no external HD to backup to bc I wasn't staying at my house. Still haven't gotten all of my content back. My mini media center is so sad right now.

The windows boot manager worked fine for me. I played around with both OS'es and ended up wiping 7 and keeping XP (not wanting to surrender the space in the future for extra movies).

I hope your install goes well!
