Try & Decide Failing

Thread needs solution

I used the T&D feature on Version 10. It told me to reboot my computer to keep the changes. The Acronis Loader takes over and keeps saying;
Status of Commit: 100%

That's it. I can't get into Windows XP.

Is there a way to bypass Acronis Loader?

Hello John,

Let me assist you in this situation. Do not worry, I have a solution to make your system bootable back.

As far as I understand you have simply activate Try & Decide in Acronis True Image Home 2010 and after clicking on Keep Changes, your system does not boot anymore? If that's correct, please clarify which partition(s) have you protected?

The cause is that Try & Decide is depended on Acronis Loader (which rewrites MBR of the system). In your situation MBR has been corrupted (the exact reason it's not clear at this step of investigation).

So you should just repair it as described below (please do not apply the instructions for any system except Windows XP):

Please boot up from the Windows Bootable CD, then go to the Recovery Console (the
first Repair option you come to).

From the command prompt please type:

FIXMBR C:
FIXBOOT C:
BOOTCFG /rebuild

After that, please reboot your computer.

If you prefer to fix MBR using a CD, then please download special Acronis utility. Use it to create a CD and boot the machine from the CD.

The MBR will be rewritten once you boot the computer from the created media and confirm that you want to fix the MBR.

After that, please boot your system back. Please let me know the results. Also, you are welcome to ask any questions concerning our products, I would be glad to assist you.

Thank you.
