My laptop is an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC and my OS is Vista Home Premium
Version 6.0 Build 6000. I haven't been able to install SP1.

I've done a mirror image of Drive C on an external HD by Acronis. Acronis
offers the option of accessing Startup Recovery (through F11) if the OS
fails to boot. Is there any danger of a conflict between this and Vista's
own startup repair system?

Second question: F8 brings up a choice of options, including a system
repair. This accesses a new menu of options, one of which is a restore from
an external source. Presumably this means a mirror image. Will ANY mirror
image work with this?

Thanks for your help.

This would be a question for Acronis or HP, but I suspect there would indeed
be a problem as HP also uses F11 to invoke their OEM recovery option to boot
from the OEM recovery partition, but I'm only guessing.

You guessed right. But Acronis (supposedly) allows changes to be made to the
setup. The procedure is to select the F11 button, then edit a particular
file in order to change F11 to F12. Unfortunately, after editing the
relevant file, when I try to save it, I get the message: "You don't have
permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator."

I am the administrator.

The file has the extension .cfg and I was trying to edit with Notepad.

How can I save my edited version? In fact, how can I give myself full
authority to change whatever I want?
