The info displayed is from the ac tive partition. Changes made in the description are reflected correctly.
I am very leary of manually adding in the links. When I have done that for Windows 2012 and Windows 8, it did not do it correctly and I had to use the emergency repair disk. Is there any other option?

I look at it again and decided to try it. Before I did, here is the configuration
1) Verified BOOT order from bios as: CD, Secondard HD, Primary HD,...
2) Physically removed Primary HD
3) Verified correct operation (was able to boot to Windows 7) - verified that it showed 4 entries
4) Ran EasyBCD and verified that it still showed onlyt three entries
5) Created an EasyBCD backup (which I may now need)
6) Ran Reset BCD
7) Manually added in the three boot vectors and verified from View that they were the same as step 4
8) Saved configuration
9) Rebooted - now I am totally dead. Get "Windows failed to start."
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc00000098
Info: The boot Configuration Date file doesn't contain valid information for an operating system.
Now what or great one?

ADDENDUM #2
I used the Emergency Repair Disk for Windows 7. It found the boot vectors (at least two of them, Windows 7 and Windows 2012 Server) and reset them ok. I then used EasyBCD to set the default and change the description (removed the 'recovered'). Life is good, almost.
EasyBCB reports two boot vectors. MsConfig reports two boot vectors. When you reboot, you get two boot vectors. Replaced primary HD and operation still the same (all good)
When I try to add the third boot vector (for Windows 2008R2), I still get the 'Windows failed to start."....
