10.8 Bootability troubleshooting

If a system was bootable at the time of taking master image, you expect that it will boot after

deployment. However, the information the operating system stores and uses for booting up may

become outdated during deployment, especially if you change volume sizes, locations or destination

drives. Acronis Snap Deploy 4 automatically updates Windows loaders after deployment. Other

loaders might also be fixed, but there are cases when you have to re-activate the loaders.
