Pc won't boot

After activating startup recovery manager on a HDD other than the OS HDD the PC won't boot. Only after I delete the manager does it bootup. Any suggestions are apreciated.

There is no need to activate the SRM. What are you trying to achieve - I've never had to activate the SRM to do any Backup or Cloning or Restores.

 

There are times when you cannot boot to the OS for example a virus or file corruption so the SRM allows you to backup up your PC to a time when things were working correctly.

 

That's what the bootable TI Cd is for. You can make this after installing the TI software. I prefer this to activating the SRM which messes with the MBR.
The bootable TI CD has all the basic BAckup, Recovery and Clone features on it.

 

You're right that the TI cd can be used but the SRM was used in the past but something is causing a problem now and I would like to find out. It might be that it's messing with the MBR.

HI, Is there any solution yet? I got the same problem.

By the way, PMH, how do you delete or deactivating startup recovery manager? since I can't even boot into Windows.

Thanks in advance.

In addition, this is the error message:

My notebook is dead now and I cannot use it, please help!

Thank you.

 

You will have to do a Vista repair install. See this thread for discussions of this issue https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=173214.
