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.
  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 that differs only slightly from the complete version.
