Duane, Intel Macs do not use the legacy Master Boot Record, they use the
GUID Parition Table scheme. EFI uses GPT where BIOS uses a Master Boot
Record (MBR).
Acronis's problem is that it does not support the GUID partition format.
What I'm wanting to know is if there is a way to over come the Acronis
shortcomings.

That would be an incorrect supposition. Boot Camp works specifically
because the MBR is used to boot into Windows.
