I downloaded Acronis OSS, thinking this was an upgrade for Acronis Disk Director 11 Home. The program installed and when I realized what it was for, I wanted to uninstall it. Windows 7 Home Premium is the only system on my Sony laptop, so I have no need for the program. I could not find it listed in the program's area of my control panel, and so I ended up just establishing Windows 7 as the default startup system. I didn't think much of it until I close down the computer. When I went to restart the next morning, the first thing that appears on my screen is:

Starting Acronis Loader ...
Press ESC for menu ...
Press F6 to skip menu ...

The keyboard will not respond to any keystrokes. The screen locks in and windows will not start. I have tried to restore my computer with a previous restore point using my Win 7 disk, but no restore points show up !!! I know they're there are because I had my system set up to build a restart point every week and every time I installed a program. I tried fixing the startup routine and windows says it cannot be fixed. Is there any way I can delete the Acronis program using the command prompt in DOS mode? I don't want to have to reinstall Windows and lose all of my files and programs !!! I am very angry and frustrated at this point and believe me, I'm not a big fan of Acronis at this point !!! PLEASE HELP ME !!! My e-mail address is: Ukrainian@AOL .Com

I found my solution in another post from MudCrab, dating back to 2009. For any of you that if experience the same problem, this is what you do:

1. Use your Win 7 program disk to boot your system to the recovery module.

2. Navigate to the repair screen where you have options to use system restore, a system image file, or a repair module. At the bottom of that list of choices is a DOS command module ... Select this option.

3. Change two your boot Hard drive, and once you are at to prompt, type in the following .... bootrec/fixmbr ... hit enter

4. The operation will be done in less than 2 seconds, then you can reboot your system.

Thanks again, MudCrab !!!! You saved me a lot of money and a lot of time !!! I was getting to the point where the frustration had me contemplating a reload of windows and losing all of the files I had on my laptop !!!
