Boot error after cloning disk in ATIH 2011

Thread needs solution

I was attempting to clone my laptop disk. The program indicated it needed to reboot to finish the cloning process. Upon reboot, the following message appeared:

Starting Acronis Loader.
Acronis Loader fatal error. Boot drive (partition) not found.
Press {enter} to try to boot your OS.

When I pressed enter, it finished the process. My problem is that now anytime I boot the computer I still get the error message and have to hit enter to continue. I even tried to uninstall ATIH 2011, but I still get the error. Any idea how to correct this issue?

To do the clone, boot the computer on the recovery CD. Don't do cloning or recovery from Windows.
Ideally, take the current disk out of the computer, attach it to a USB adapter, put the new disk inside the computer at the same spot as the older one, THEN do the cloning.

Watch out: from the CD the drive letters are not necessarily the same as in Windows. Look at the disk characteristics (label...) to avoid cloning the empty disk on your source disk!

If your disk is not exactly the same as your previous disk, choose the manual cloning method so that you can control how the partitions will be resized. Do not change the size of anoy partition except c:\system or any partition you created yourself.

If your new disk is a SSD you MUST ensure there is a 1MB space before the first partition and that each partition starts on a whole number of megabytes.

He clonado mi disco algunas veces pero al fallar casi siempre, lo he hecho al reinicio, presionando F11 cuando lo indica la pantalla; ahora encuentro que tengo que ir activando el Starup recovery manager continuamente ya que yo lo activo y seguidamente se desconfigura. ¿ Alguien sabe que es lo que hay que hacer, pues en Acronis se desentienden diciendote que se ha terminado el soporte ?
Tengo instalado Acronis true image home 2011 Plus Pack en un sobremesa Packard Bell de 64 bits con W7 H Premium. Agradecido al que pueda ayudarme.
