Failed to find operating system information in Master Boot Record

Thread needs solution

I'm running Acronis True Home 2012.

In my logs, I'm seeing periodically the message "Failed to find information about operating System in Master Boot Record" - I've rebuilt the boot configuration data per earlier forum posts and still getting the notice.

Any idea what's going on?

More information: It appears to occur in the log a couple of times a day when nonstop backup starts and stops (I have not configured nonstop backup to operate at all). It does not occur when doing my nightly backups.

If you are not using NonStop Backup or Syn Agent, you can turn off these services.

You can stop each of two services and you can also change the propertis of Startup type from automatic to Disabled.

Thanks Grover. I appreciate your help.

I never turned on those services so I'm not certain how to turn them off. Where is the "off" switch for nonstop backup?

He means to disable their Windows Services, not from within ATI.
