The beta build works! I simply installed the beta build, deleted the Linux entry, and then recreated it per the latter part of your instructions, and it now works. Grub2 now loads and gives me all the boot options therein. I did not need to install Grub2 to the Linux boot partition per your...

When I installed Ubuntu, I installed Grub2 on the Ubuntu partition (Disk1, Partition2). Since I normally boot from Disk 0, I added an Ubuntu boot entry there with EasyBCD. When I select the added Ubuntu entry from the Disk 0 (Windows) boot menu, it takes me to the Grub4DOS prompt (I assume that...

I had a multi boot setup with Ubuntu 15.10 for a couple of years with no problems, but after upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04, I get the GRUB prompt when trying to boot Ubuntu. I have Windows 7 and Windows 10 on Disk 0 and Windows XP and Ubuntu on Disk 1. Both disks are BIOS setups (non-UEFI). I...

It looks like bootgrabber has some problem getting the correct boot information ... Output from Win 7 install (Disk0, Partition3, UEFI boot/GPT-formatted HD): BootGrabber utility. Copyright NeoSmart Technologies 2009-2011 <http://neosmart.net/> WARN: Unable to get volume information for...

Some additional info - I can add my backup Win8 install on D1, P1 to the UEFI boot menu (on D0) with EasyBCD. Note that D1 is a MBR-formatted disk. When I am in the UEFI boot menu (on D0), I can select either my Win7 install (on D0, P3) or my Win 8 install (on D0, P4), and both boot fine...

GC, Thanks for the response. Let me provide some additional information: - My main Win 7 install (with UEFI boot) is on D0, P3. D0 is the GPT-formatted disk. - My Win 8.1 install (with UEFI boot) is on D0, P4. - I have a Win 8 backup install (with BIOS/MBR boot) on D1...

You are correct Terry in that I am running XP x86 and I can boot the the XP install via BIOS. I will check in periodically for further guidance. Thanks again.

Windows XP does not allow access to GPT disks for me. Therefore, I would not be able to assign a drive letter and point EasyBCD to the BCD store on the GPT disk. I did try several things manually. From my Win 7 install, I put the Windows XP ntldr, boot.ini, and ntdectect.com in the...

Here it is: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect Again, thank you for your help.

I have a Win 7 and Win 8.1 dual UEFI boot on a GPT disk (Disk 0). I installed Windows XP on an MBR disk (Disk 2). When I try to add an XP boot entry with EasyBCD (running on the Win 7 install), I get an error that EasyBCD failed to detect a valid installation of Windows NT-2003 on all mounted...

Terry, I want to thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I actually got the dual boot of windows 7/8 working perfectly, but it certainly wasn't easy. Basically, I did the following: - Backup Win 7 install (working) and Win 8 install (not working) - Re-install clean Win 8 from DVD...

Terry, Thank you for your quick response. I tried your suggestion of replacing the Win7 winload.efi file with the Win8 winload.efi file. After messing around with permissions, I copied the Win 8 file over to the Win 7 \Windows\System32 folder. I tried to reboot into Windows 8, but it gave me...

I built a new system and installed Win7 on a new SSD. The system is UEFI capable, and I performed the Win7 install with UEFI boot. I created another partition on the SSD, and I transferred a Win8 install from a hard drive (with MBR and BIOS boot) to the newly created partition on the SSD. I used...

Yes, I did. Regarding Harddisk1, Partition 3, that is the Linux install with Ext4 (iirc) file system. Windows wouldn't recognize that, right? edit: Oh, I see. It looks like bootgrabber is returning Disk(1)Partition(5) for that one ...

I think I got it!
