OlivierSeres Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hi, I've successfully installed v10.4.6 and the Acronis Disk Director Suite. Everything worked at the beginning but one day, i got this message : "Staring Acronis Loader No commands for booting OS. Press <ENter> to reboot". I ve created a Acronis Rescue Media bootable CD. The 2 choices are : * Acronis Disk Director Full Version :dunno what to do; do i have to "recover "partition ? * Windows (give me the same message) Thanks for your help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28452-acronis-selector-not-found/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Try entering "Acronis Disk Director Full Version" and use it to reinstall the Selector.

domino Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 that problem usually happens when you defrag windows. it affects acronis and you usually need to boot from the cd and reinstall boot selector. thats why i never use it anymore. if you cant boot from the cd, make your windows boot drive active and reinstall boot selector from windows to get darwin bootloader back.

OlivierSeres Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Thanks >Rammjet : there is no possibility of installing the Selector in this version of Rescuable CD >Domino : what bootable CD are you speaking of ? (i've got a ubuntu live CD that helps me to switch active partitions, but i cannot access to windows) I've installed http://www.acronis.com/files/support/mbrautowrite_en.exe on a bootable floppy as explained here : http://www.wilderssecurity.com/archive/ind...hp/t-63239.html ; it overwrites the MBR but the result is the same : "No command for booting OS' ;-( Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28452-acronis-selector-not-found/#findComment-194974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I was talking about the Acronis boot CD you created after installing it. You did create one right? You can use that CD to re-install Boot selector or mark a partition active. In you case, mark the OS X partition active and reboot. If you have another computer handy, download the most recent version of Acronis Suite. I think it's version 10.x. Burn a bootable cd and use that to boot to the downed box. If you already used another application to re-write the mbr, without backing up the original mbr, you may be screwed. I can talk you into getting windows back, but OS X bootloader will be lost. You may be able to use the OS X CD and re-install OS X boot sector. It's a long shot, but it's possible.

OlivierSeres Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 It though the MBR was overwritten by mbrautowrite_en.exe but in fact, i followed your instruction and could restore the selector. Thanks a lot ! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28452-acronis-selector-not-found/#findComment-194988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Great! Just memeber, if you defrag windows while you have Acronis installed, it will kill Boot Selector. You can defrag but don't reboot until you re-install Boot Selector. Glad to be of service.
