easyBCD asks us to specify Drive path of varies O.S. that we have on current disk(s).
I find it confusing.
Whenever we boot from different o.s., window has some cryptic system of assigning drive letters to them, which is definitely not in the sequence of hard disks and also not in sequence of position of physical partition on the hdd.
Also, Windows always makes boot drive to become C,
and that changes the Drive name alphabet of all drives in all our disks.
so, when we are defining various drive paths for multiple boots, we don't remember and don't know what drive letter windows is going to assign to them.
of course, we have to assign the drive letter as it is in the current booted o.s. system.
But this also changes if we add a new hard disk or pen drive or any other device having a disk like functions.
And if we have to assign the current letters of drive paths, then the same will change, when we use Easy BCD in different o.s. to define boot menu options for that o.s.
I think some more help in assigning drive letters in boot menu would be helpful.
either it could even show the hard disks status as is shown in disk management screen, so that it is clear what is assigned to what.
or it could pick volume name of the said drive path and display as a read only remark, so that we could be sure that it has selected the correct drive.
or some other method that you feel would fulfill the requirement better.
Thanks.
