2. At the next step, select the destination disk as the target for MBR recovery, click Next and then

Proceed. After MBR recovery is complete, exit the standalone version of Acronis True Image

When the recovery is complete

Before you boot the computer, please disconnect the old drive (if any). If Windows "sees" both the
new and old drive during the boot, this will result in problems booting Windows. If you upgrade the
