Alertsec Xpress cannot be installed on systems with pre-installed recovery partitions. The reason for this is that such a system is interpreted as a multi-boot system. The recovery partition is viewable from the disk management tool (Start – Control Panel – Administrative Tools – Computer Management – Disk Management) in Windows XP. For Alertsec Xpress to be able to install, this partition has to be completely removed! Also, since many recovery partitions add themself as a boot option, you must edit boot.ini so that only one boot option is available. Boot.ini is located directly under the root on C:\. It is also accessable by rightclicking: (My computer – Properties – Advanced – Settings under Startup and Recovery – System Startup – To edit the startup options manually, click Edit – Edit) Under ‘operating systems’ you should only have one option available.
