Hi folks,
I have a hard disk divided into various partitions with xp(boot) on C windows 7 on D and E and windows 8 on F. I also have a data partition H on there and also have another hard disk in my computer for data only.
As I have said xp is the boot and has the MBR.
For easy of simplicity when using each OS I have Easy BCD installed on each and will edit them now and and again as the need may arise.
My question is,
Should I really only edit Easy BCD on one OS such as the boot xp so as not to cause any conflict or does it not really matter, because Easy BCD will know the disk and partition setup on each OS and will act accordingly when writing to the MBR on xp?
I should add that within each OS (for example xp) the drive letter of some of the other partitions can be different to what I have, when logged onto a different OS for example windows 7.
For some reason the data partition on my main hard disk drive has deleted itself on 2 occassions showing up as unallocated space in disk management, but overall Easy BCD is a brilliant utility and has saved my a** many a time.
any advice gratefully appreciated.
Joe
