F11 bootup disappears and have to reinstall it after any backup Acronis 11
This forum does not work with Opera 10 browser.
Okay, back to Acronis 11 from Acronis 2009...couldn't stand 2009 version.
Have to reactivate the F11 feature after every backup, since I am trying the do a backup at night and automatic shutoff this means the F11 feature is not available if I might NEED it.
If F11 does not work, I get message Boot drive partition not found, try booting into OS, hit enter.
I have an HP computer that used to have an F11 Recovery Partition but I deleted it.
Oh, when I look at Secure zone, there is a tiny UNALLOCATED SPACE to the right of it. Is this what is causing the problem?
I uninstalled 2009 in Control Panel and then used the Acronis cleanup tool and then reinstalled my Acronis 11. I have a system report attached. Whoops, can't attach it in Opera...sorry, web site doesn't work. Can I send it to someone?

Scott, this is after a BACKUP F11 does not work, NOT a restore.
Get this message:
"Acronis Loader Fatal error: Boot drive (partition) not found. Press (Enter) to try to boot your OS."

Will try to attach acronis report file for tech support in IE8.

It's not clear what you are trying to do or where F11 is ocming into play, what is and isn't working, and what you have already tried to do about it.
Given all that mystery, I'll give it another go in case it's helpful. "Acronis Loader" error means the program's bootstrap (for loading Linux it can run independent of windows) isn't working. So I'm assumed you're trying to restore, which requires linux, but maybe you're trying to clone, which also requires booting into linux. Anyway, using the ATI recovery manager from within Wins can affect the boot sector and maybe you're running into that somehow. If so, have you tried using the Bootcd instead? If that works, then that's the way to go. If not, then you need to contact support about getting a diff version of linux of diff drivers for linux so that ATI can boot it on your PC.
But merely making a backup, even a full disk/partition backup, shouldn't alter anything on the source disk.
good luck.

Scott,
The "F11" is the ASRM prompt which has been activated. Apparently, when a backup is created, it somehow corrupts the booting of the ASRM which then requires it to be reactivated.
As suggested, it might be helpful to know if the ASRM also gets corrupted if the backup is performed using the TI CD. Or, if the corruption is happening when using the CD, see if it happens if the backup is performed using TI in Windows.

Hope,
TI 2009 (the latest build) and TI 11 link to the ASRM files differently. TI 11 uses the SZ while TI 2009 no longer requires it. If this problem happened after switching back to TI 11, perhaps it's necessary to remove the SZ, recreate it and then reactivate the ASRM.

Thanks, Mudcrab. If it was me, I'd bag any SZ and the ASRM, which would mean only that I would have to stick to the BootCD for restores. But you know this particular area better than I.
