Existing users, 
Created an eDrive, now it hijacks the boot process every time. Have set the startup disk, reset PRAM, done everything tech-support at MicroMat has suggested, and the eDrive still always boots instead of my selected startup volume.
Even locked (de-authenticated) the startup disk prefs panel, and the eDrive still takes over on reboot.
TechTool Pro is coming off my machine today.

Must be your system - Central Scrutinizer--2008
I've been using TTP 4 since version 4.0.3, currently using 4.1.2, and I've never had any troubles with my eDrive on three different computers (yes of course I purchased a copy of TTP 4 for each Mac I own!)TTP 4 is the only system utility of it's kind that I even trust. Norton is garbage. Drive Genius is no genius.
BTW, don't optimize your volumes if you want OS X to perform at it's best. Do a search for OS X Hot Zone to learn why OS X drives do not need optimizing and actually suffer a performance hit from it. Also, OS X defrags files <20 MB on the fly (the sizes the need defragging), so there's no need to defrag. Think about it: if Darwin needed an optimizing utility, wouldn't there be an open source version available? None are available, because Unix doesn't need them.

eDrive hijacks startup... - starion
My original comment still stands. I tried this software on three different systems with the exact same result.Software is now totally gone from all my machines. Waste of money.

Try this hold down control+option+O+F while restarting then typereset-nvram-return then
reset- all-return
Computer will restart on own. Use the dashes as in the example.
