For example, if you use grub loader, add to /boot/grub/grub.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst

the following lines:

title Acronis //or any desired title

root (hd0,3) //ASZ location (available on summary screen), here: disk 0, partition 3

makeactive

chainloader +1

After that execute the following command:

grub-install /dev/hda //the hard disk from which grub will be loaded

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.

8.2 Activating and deactivating Acronis Startup Recovery Manager

After Acronis Startup Recovery Manager was initially activated, you can deactivate it or

activate again at any time. To do so, simply delete the above entry from the configuration

file or add it again.

If you did not activate Acronis Startup Recovery Manager when creating Acronis Secure

Zone, select Activate Acronis Startup Recovery Manager on the sidebar or in the Tools

menu and follow the Wizard’s instructions. Then add an entry to the configuration file as

described in step 8 of 8.1.

If you try to activate Acronis Startup Recovery Manager while Acronis Secure Zone is

missing from the system, you will be prompted to create the zone, then Acronis Startup

Recovery Manager will be activated.

8.3 Resizing Acronis Secure Zone

1. When prompted by the wizard, select Manage Acronis Secure Zone.

2. Select to increase or decrease the zone. You might need to increase it to provide more

space for archives. The opposite situation might arise if either partition lacks free space.

3. Select partitions from which free space will be used to increase Acronis Secure Zone or

that will receive free space after the zone is reduced.

4. Enter the new size of the zone or drag the slider to select the size.

When increasing the Acronis Secure Zone, the program will first use unallocated space. If

there is not enough unallocated space, the selected partitions will be decreased. Resizing

of the partitions may require a reboot.

Please keep in mind that reducing a system partition to the minimum size may prevent

your operating system from booting.

When reducing the zone, any unallocated space, if the hard disk has it, will be allocated

to the selected partitions along with the space freed from the zone. Thus, no unallocated

space will remain on the disk.
