So, I got easyBCD because guys over at reboot.pro were talking about its simplicity over grub4dos when multibooting and chainloading. I am looking to speed up my Latitude e6500(C2D 2.66, NV Quadro 160M, 4GB 800mhz)'s lousy spinning platter hard drive.
That's where the problems start...
The only available bay in the darn thing is an expresscard 54 port, which is convenient enough (got a good price on a 32GB expresscard ssd, enough space to install 7 if I keep the spinning drive for media and work files).
The computer has Dell's latest BIOS installed (Dell A29, June 2013) and yet after several years of expresscards being mainstream, Dell refuses to give them any more support than a glorified flash drive.
The BIOS will not let me set the SSD to the Boot disk, and Windows install won't get past the homepage because of this.
What are the motions to either chainload into the expresscard or to force the drive bootable?
I appreciate the help, the Latitude's performance is fantastic everywhere except hard disk speed!
