Fix MBR Error 3 after New SSD Installation and Disk Recovery
After installing a new SSD to replace a smaller one and then doing a full disk recovery, I now get the MBR Error 3 message when booting up to Windows 7. The MBR Error 3 message appears in place of the F11 Acronis Startup Recovery option I used to get, however, the PC does successfully continue to boot and all works well. How can I get rid of this message and restore the Acronis Startup Recovery option?

Thank you, Tuttle.
I was careful to have created a full disk mode backup and did a full disk restore from it. Have a question regarding beginning another restore: By doing so will anything corrupt my SSD that seems to be all intact and working perfectly?
Thanks for your help.

I'm just suggesting that you begin a restore to see the process. If you did a full disk mode backup, you should be able to select to restore the full disk and the restore will bypass partition selection/configuration; whereas, the backup created via partition mode is forced into individual partition configurations of each and every partition. If you see that partition selection, then you did not create a full disk mode backup.

The problem is fixed. I went into ATI, chose Acronis Startup Recovery Manager (in Protection Tools) and reactivated the Startup Recovery.
