    Did you read about ReactOS before you started playing with it?
    They don't seem to have a Forum where you could get good advice concerting your specific problems. However you might start with this
    article and look around the ReactOS site. Good luck. <https://www.tecmint.com/reactos-installation-guide-and-review/>

    bliss - not much longer now.

    Use VirtualBox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox).

    Install each different OS you wish to use into a separate VM.

    Launch one or more all at the same time.

    No danger of messing up your main system's boot record.
