ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE 8.0 User Manual page 18

General program information
To use Acronis Startup Recovery Manager (it must be activated), turn on your PC
and press F11, when you see the "Press F11 for Acronis Startup Recovery Manager"
message. This will run a standalone version of Acronis True Image that only slightly
differs from the complete version. For information on restoring damaged partitions,
see Chapter 5.
Be careful! Disk letters in standalone Acronis True Image might sometimes differ from
Windows notation.
To activate the program, click Activate Acronis Startup Recovery Manager.
This boot manager is required for Acronis Secure Zone to work. If the boot manager
is absent, the zone creation wizard will be run (see above). The restoration
manager will be installed during this procedure as well.
If there is Acronis Secure Zone on your PC, the boot manager will be activated
immediately.
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, then 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.
