Please fix MBR in the following way:

Please use the following ISO image to create a special CD:

Once the CD is written, boot the computer from it and confirm that you want to fix the master boot record.

Re: OS Selector 9 and MBR ERR 3 during boot

I get the same error. Is this fix anything different than boot into Windows recovery console and using the fixmbr command? I have done that numerous times only to continue to get the mbr error 3 after reenabling OS selector.

Hello hoser_d,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Director Suite (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/diskdirector/).

Yes, this is the same procedure as fixmbr (though it seems to be easier to perform).

Please do the following:

- Fix MBR once again either with the help of your Windows Installation Disk or with one of the ways mentioned above (using Acronis tools);
- Disable "Boot virus detection" option (or something like this - dependently on your BIOS) in BIOS;
- Enable Acronis OS Selector if needed.

This should solve the problem.

Thank you.

Re: OS Selector 9 and MBR ERR 3 during boot

Unfortuneately, my BIOS does not have anything in it that deals with "boot virus detection" so there is nothing to disable.

Hello hoser_d,

Please send a letter to support@acronis.com with the link to this thread and attach two Acronis Reports: before you enable Acronis OS Selector and after that. To create Acronis Report please download special utility available at http://www.acronis.com/files/support/AcronisReport.exe and run it. Please include the link to this thread into your letter.

Thank you.
