System does not start after update!

I upgraded to True Image V11 from V9. I then was asked to reboot. Now I get the error message that the loader (F11) is not present and I can not start my computer anymore.
HHEELLPP!

 

If you have backup fiels form before the attempted aupgrade, then restore your machine, using the earlier bootCD to get you back before the upgrade.

Then uninstall ATI 9, then install the new ATI.

I recommend first going running msconfig.exe, on SErvices, select hid all MS serivces, then disable the rest, then onthe startup tab disable everything, click OK and let the machine reboot. Then uninstall 9 and then install the new ATI. This way, no other programs are liekly to interfere with the uninstall or install.

When you're done, run msconfig again and enable everything on the Services and startup tabs.

Note that each time you reboot while msconfg has anything disabled, it will at reboot as if you want change the settings -- tell it no until you've finsihed all your installing.

 

Thanks for your reply. I have found the boot CD. Can you also tell me how to get my computer to boot from the CD and not from drive c:. How do I get into the settings?

I found out: Just insert CD and reboot. Works fine - Entire harddisk resored sucessfully from backup.

Only, I still can not start my system: Acronis Loader: Configuration file not found

I still need urgent help!

Thanks and regards
Hasi

 

Did you remove the CD after you restored and before you rebooted? If your system was working when you made the backup, it should be working now that you resotred th disk back to that very same state.

 

I did remove the CD. The restore laster for mor then 1 hour and reported with "successful". The Acronis Loader (F11) does not find the configuration file. Does that get restored also?

I have had the same Startup Recovery Manager problem since I installed the Version 11.0 upgrade, Ivan has been helpfull but nothing has worked so far.
I am back on Ver. 10.0 and it works fine.
When I get the error I boot on the recovery disc and remove the Secure Zone which removes the Startup Recovery Manager from the MBR.
You can boot from any version Recovery disk if you made one for the previous version you had installed.
I am running Vista Ultimate.
