Good luck .. I'm not too excited about things not working right ... right now.
I'm sure there's a lot of catching up to be done with all M$ changes .. (again)
Maybe in a couple of years .. this could be a problem.

I received an honest answer from Acronis.. stating:
so take care..I would like to inform you that Windows7 has not been launched officially, so we have not tested our software with it. I would appreciate your patience till Windows 7 is officially launched. I regret to inform you that we cannot assure about compatibility of our software with windows 7, until it is officially released.

Another answer to your original question. Install easybcd /Free) Go to the "Manage bootloader" option and restore the MBR
Hei davehc
I did have easybcd on the system, and I was beginning to wonder whether perhaps it, or its combination with OpenSUSE's and W7's boot managers, caused my problem in the first place..
The interface was so crappy, and now I've decided to forget Linux for a while, I preferred to get rid of it..
There just has to be some very simple method, like the good old MBRWIZ, to backup and restore MBR.
My task for the day is to try and find out what is different about W7, Vista and XP from an MBR point of view

This cmd in the console is suposed to fix win7 mbr
Drive:\boot\Bootsect.exe /NT60 All
Drive is ur cd drive with win7 install disk
If any1 uses it lemme know if it works
This cmd is only for win7 and vista installs, if ya duel boot winxp dont use it.
Do you mean to say that after a Paragon image restore of your drive C:\
where Windows 7 was installed you have booting problems? In that case Paragon image restore is no different from Acronis's where I always have MBR errors. Funny I just did a Paragon partition image of my drives C:\Windows and D:\My Documents.
Yes, just that.. and not only Paragon (latest version of DB9 Personal btw).
Macrium asks you if you want to restore the MBR and, until now, I have always said yes, but the system didn't boot after Macrium image restore of the C drive disk either.. that was the one I tried first.
So, I wouldn't trust any of them to restore the W7 MBR correctly at this point in time..
Hopefully, if one restores an image made by W7's utility, the MBR will be restored..?

Thats pretty much what I experienced.
You did see the Acronis comment in my post above, about W7 MBR support, i.e. "when W7 is finally released"
I notice a lot of experienced users on this forum are recommending Acronis TI - they just haven't tried yet to restore an image to fix a bad MBR situation I'm afraid..
There could be a quicker fix than Repair Install on another thread, see Getting "BOOTMGR IS MISSING" after clean install of RC1 - Windows 7 Forums Let us know if it works..

As long as this "recovered" HDD is the only HDD in my computer ... I'm locked up.
It won't boot from the Acronis Boot CD .. or .. the W7 install DVD ???
My HP boot manager won't work ... and I can't even get to the bios Setup ??
If the commercials weren't so long on this Sit Com ...
I might have been able to remember how I got past this problem the last time.

Correction .. As long as the Recovered HDD is anywhere in my system .. I'm locked up
