Great - that's good to know. Looks like Acronis removed it's partition and then it recreated a correct MBR. Then Windows "just worked". No telling...
Mark, Right, the Boot Sector must be ok - no need to perform FIXBOOT. You know, I think the Partition Table must have got whacked somehow....

Well, these commands can be dangerous, sorry you had to redo your recovery. If I'm tyring this on a disk that's master copy that's not backed up,...
I'd try using the recovery consolde and these commands: BOOTCFG Use this command for boot configuration and recovery. This command has the...
