3.5. Acronis Startup Recovery Manager
3.5.1. How it works
The Acronis Startup Recovery Manager lets you start Acronis True Image Home without loading the
operating system. With this feature, you can use Acronis True Image Home by itself to recover
damaged partitions, even if the operating system won't start up for some reason. As opposed to
booting from Acronis removable media, you will not need a separate media or network connection to
start Acronis True Image Home.

3.5.2. How to use
To be able to use Acronis Startup Recovery Manager at boot time, prepare as follows:
1. Install Acronis True Image Home.
2. Activate Acronis Startup Recovery Manager. To do so, click Activate Acronis Startup Recovery
Manager and follow the wizard's instructions.
When Acronis Startup Recovery Manager is activated, it overwrites the master boot record (MBR) with its own
boot code. If you have any third-party boot managers installed, you will have to reactivate them after activating
the Startup Recovery Manager. For Linux loaders (e.g. LiLo and GRUB), you might consider installing them to a
Linux root (or boot) partition boot record instead of MBR before activating Acronis Startup Recovery Manager.

If you click the Disk properties button, you will see the selected partition or disk properties window.
This window contains two panels. The left panel contains the properties tree and the right describes

logical (file system, free space, assigned letter, etc.) parameters.
