The SolusVM Automatic Reinstall option does not allow you to modify or create a custom partition but you can manually install an OS by following these instructions:

**1.** Login to your SolusVM Control Panel.
**2.** If you have multiple VPS, select the appropriate one.

**9. **Most operating systems will ask you to "**Press any button to start OS Installation**" while booting. You need to press any key on your keyboard when asked and the OS Installation/Reinstallation will begin. It may also show you an option like "**Install OS**", "**Test this media**". For OS Installation/Reinstallation you need to select "**Install OS**" and press the enter button.

Once the installation begins, it while set up the OS and ask you to create partitions, set root/admin passwords, etc.

After the installation is complete, don"t forget to set your VPS Boot Order to "**(1) Hard Disk (2) CDROM**", otherwise it will reboot your VPS and start in installation mode, instead of normal mode.
