I have Arconis OS Selector v 8.0 installed on main computer. I did a reboot and when it gets to where I was to select the os that I wanted I get this error message:

Starting Acronis loader:
Acronis loader..No configuration files present.....
Press <enter> to reboot....

At that point pressing enter does nothing. The DOS screen is flashing on and off along with the computer power light.

And I know that I should have made the Acronis start-up disks, but I forgot.

Is there anyway to get past this to get the computer to run?

I'm on XP SP1 installed.

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thanks guys

Hi,
I love acronis os selector 8, it's the only boot manager that you can hide any partition from various operating systems.

the only thing is windows xp only allows dual booting if from the first hard drive, as it never boots from the second hard drive. But that's a microsoft problem.

Boot up from your windows xp cd and select repair. It will fix your mbr for you.
