Hello Ron,

Thank you for using Acronis Software.

You can disactivate Acronis Startup Recovery by booting you computer with Acronis Bootable Rescue Media or by fixing MBR. You can get more instructions regarding MBR fix at this thread. Could you please also clarify what boot screen window is loaded with F8? Acronis Startup Recovery is using F11 key by default.

Thanks,

Thanks for responding,

I have my computer up and running now, I fixed the issue quite by accident. I needed a current work file off a separate data harddrive that was installed in the computer. After removing the drive I powered on the computer without the data drive installed. The boot screen this time went past the stuck "Starting Acronis Loader...." screen and the F11 key Acronis Startup Recovery was now available.

After entering the Acronis Startup Recovery I was able to disactivate it. This appears to have solved my startup issue.

As far as the boot screen window with F8 key, this appeared on the first bios boot screen under a line "hit DEL for settings". After hitting the F8 key a small window opened letting me choose which drive to boot from.

It may not have anything to do with Acronis software, I just didn't remember seeing it until after I activated the Acronis Startup Recovery, which started my boot issue problem.

Thanks again,
