Recovery Console

After i installed Acronis True Image Home 9., the Windows Recovery Console did not work. (This was after a clean re-install of Windows XP). Is this caused by Acronis True Imager?

 

Good luck, kwz, on solving this problem. I had exactly the same problem. The clone of the main partition worked fine, the recovery partition was dead in the water. I never did resolve it. After sending various report files and screen shots to Acronis, they finally told me it was a "windows problem, contact microsoft". End of story. The recovery parition is still fully functional on the old hard drive, which thank Goodness, I kept unchanged, because I was soon to need it when my first attempt at an image restore resulted inability to start windows with the message that "\system32\hal.dll is missing or corrupt". So I had to recopy the old hard drive once again to the new, after about 10 hours of stuggling without success to solve the "hal.dll" problem. Please let me know if you find a solution for the "recovery partition" problem. But as it is, it seems apparent these recovery partitions are not cloneable.
