"Acronis Loader Fatal Error" Not Fixed ? Alternatives ?

When I try to start TrueImage 10 from CD I got an error message

Acronis Loader Fatal Error;
boot drive partition not found
press <enter> to try to boot your OS.

This error was discussed in the following thread before:

https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=126332

In this thread an Acronis support member gave the hint to download
an additional, special ISO image, burn it on a CD, FIX the hard disc with it and try again.

Since this recommendation was given in April 2006 (over a year ago!!) I would have thought that the error is fixed in the newest releases of TrueImage. Much to my surprise it is not.

Obviously this is a bug in TrueImage not in Win2000, because because other programs like Paragon Drive Backup could handle this kind of hard discs without problem.

So do I really still have to download the ISO image to burn it, to fix it and to restart again

Or is there a shorter way meantime ?

What is the error at all ? Why do the fix Master Boot Record (MBR) need a fixing ?
