7.1 Acronis Startup Recovery Manager

7.1.1 How it works

The Acronis Startup Recovery Manager lets you start Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition

without loading the operating system. With this feature, you can use Acronis True Image Home 2011

Netbook Edition by itself to recover damaged partitions, even if the operating system won't boot.

Unlike booting from Acronis removable media, you will not need a separate media or network

connection to start Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition.

7.1.2 How to use

To be able to use Acronis Startup Recovery Manager at boot time, prepare as follows:

1. Install Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition.

2. Activate Acronis Startup Recovery Manager.

When Acronis Startup Recovery Manager is activated, it overwrites the master boot record (MBR) with its own

boot code. If you have any third-party boot managers installed, you will need to reactivate them after the

Startup Recovery Manager has been activated. For Linux loaders (e.g. LiLo and GRUB), you might consider

installing them to a Linux root (or boot) partition boot record instead of MBR before activating Acronis Startup

Recovery Manager.

If a failure occurs, turn on the computer and press F11 when you see the "Press F11 for Acronis

Startup Recovery Manager" message. This will start a standalone version of Acronis True Image

Home 2011 Netbook Edition that differs only slightly from the complete version.
