ATI 2010 & Defragmentators in Windows 7 x86

Thread needs solution

I apologize for the English language, I write with a translator!

Activated by F11 boot and everything works.
Installed defragmenters O&O Defrag 12, Raxco PerfectDisk 10 or Diskeeper 2009.
Defragment disk C:\ and load on the F11 is damaged: MBR Error 3.

Why is this happening?

Hello Sergey,

Thank you for using Acronis True Image

The reason for the issue is changing location of the files responsible for ASRM. Files responsible for Acronis Startup recovery Manager are the following:

* \Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\TrueImageHome\kernel.dat

* \Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\TrueImageHome\ramdisk.dat

In order to solve the issue you should fix MBR.

Insert Win 7 installation DVD and boot from DVD drive. While in some older systems you may have to change boot order through system BIOS, most newer systems allow booting from DVD without changing boot order by simply clicking on any key when prompted to doing so.

Choose your default "Language", "Time", and "keyboard Input" on the first window and click next.

You're now presented with 3 choices. Click on "Repair Your Computer" to gain access to the System Recovery window. Now choose "Command Prompt" in order to run the desired utility which is called "bootsect.exe". Bootsect is located inside the boot folder so change your directory to boot. Now run "bootsect /nt60 C:\" if you had Win 7 initially installed in the C partition. Alternatively, you can run "bootsect /nt60 SYS" or "bootsect /nt60 ALL" to repair the system partition or all partitions. Eject the DVD, and restart computer. Your computer should now boot Win 7 again.

Dmitry:

There have been a few other posts on here recently about this topic. Isn't this issue a design oversight in TI 2010? Most people defragment their system partition, and if the act of defragmenting will break the ASRM, then this was overlooked by your software engineers.

They need to come up with an absolute-sector independent boot mechanism for the ASRM. Most boot managers in use today (ntldr, bootmgr, GRUB, etc) are capable of locating a file by file name instead of by absolute sector. You need to do likewise.
