Follow through the installation process until the Create Diskettes screen, which
lets you create a bootable CD containing utilities and recovery tools or create disks
containing those tools. These days, most PCs can boot from the optical drive, but you
may choose to make disks instead if your PC has a floppy drive. Select the appropriate
option button, click the Next button, and then follow the instructions for creating
the CD or disks. Label the CD or disks, test the CD or the disks immediately to verify
that they work, and then store them safely.
Note the user ID and password that the System Commander Security Settings
screen gives, and then finish the installation.
You must restart Windows to allow System Commander to write itself to the
boot sector. During the boot process, you??™ll see the Welcome To System Commander
message.
Click the Close button (the ?— button) to close the message. System Commander
then displays the OS Selection Menu window:
From here, you can click the OS or drive you want to boot. For example, in the
previous illustration, you can boot Windows Vista, boot from a floppy, or boot from a
CD or DVD. But what you probably want to do at this stage is install another OS.
Install Another Operating System
To install another OS, follow these steps from the OS Selection Menu window:
Click the OS Wizard button. System Commander displays the Backup
Recommendations screen.
