I have recently bough a new computer. It is still not my main one as I want to experiment with disk cloning backup solutions before I start using it regularly. So I have only installed Windows 7, Kaspersky Internet Security, Acronis TrueImage Home and EasyBCD so far. Haven't really used EasyBSD and Acronis on the new computer yet, just installed them.
Having done that I started reading the EasyBCD Guide and came upon this section.
There are so many thing I don't understand about this.
Does it mean I can not or should not use EasyBCD together with Acronis?
If I can use them together do I have to reinstall Acronis boot-time helper everytime I have changed something in EasyBCD?
What is Acronis boot-time helper anyway? I guess its a generic name you use but what is it called in Acronis?

Picking a Bootloader
This section of the EasyBCD Bootloader Management page allows the user to choose which bootloader resides in the MBR. Two options available are:
Windows Vista/7 “BCD” Bootloader
Legacy Windows NTLDR Bootloader
Please note: Using this page will overwrite any existing MBR! If you are using a 3rd party MBR like Grub or Darwin, don’t worry, EasyBCD can be used instead. However, if you are using any software that customizes the MBR, such as Roxio GoBack, Acronis TrueImage, or TrueCrypt, the post-boot interface for these applications will no longer be available. You’ll need to reinstall their boot-time helpers after configuring EasyBCD
