# How to Manually Install/Reinstall an OS Using Virtualizor for a Customized Installation

The Virtualizor's automatic reinstall option does not allow you to modify or create a custom partition. However, you can create such a partition through a manual installation/reinstallation of an OS. You can follow these instructions to install/reinstall an OS manually.

**1**. Log in to your Virtualizor Control Panel.

**2**. From the left side panel, click on **List VPS**.

Most operating systems ask you to **press any button to start an OS installation** while booting. When prompted, press any key on your keyboard, and the OS installation/reinstallation will begin. It may also show you an option such as **Install OS** or **Test this media**. For an OS installation/reinstallation, select **Install OS** and press Enter.

Once the installation starts, it will ask you to create a partition, set a password, etc.

After the installation is complete, don't forget to set the boot order to **(1) Hard Disk (2) CD Drive** and reboot the VPS. Otherwise, the VPS will start in installation mode on the next boot instead of the normal mode.

**Note:** If VNC got disconnected, then click on **Connect** to reconnect it.
