My dual boot system produces an error

Thread needs solution

I am running Acronis Home 2013 on the Windows 7 partition of a dual boot system (XP - Windows 7). I get this error:

Failed to find information about operating system in Master Boot Record.

Thank you for your help...

Todd,
You haven't said what you were trying to do when you got this error message but from my own experience at having a dual boot XP and 7 system, the boot system files for Windows 7 are put into the XP partition if you installed 7 after XP and the XP drive wasn't hidden or removed when the install was done.

This means that you would need to ensure that your Windows 7 backup image includes the XP partition in order to get the boot files needed for 7.
