I guess either my post is OT for this forum or this is a unique issue. Thanks anyway

Hello Group It's been years since I had a dual boot setup, but I've purchased the awesome EasyBCD product and know how knowledgeable the users and admins are here--AND I've got a situation that reminds me of a dual boot setup -- so, here it goes. I've got a custom rig with an Asus P9X79 mobo...

hmm--that's it? I should have thought of that. thanks!! Addendum: Well, that did the trick. I also was pointing to the wrong drive letter for W7 to boot--I fixed that too. A big lesson I learned is to have Easy BCD installed on both drives in case one won't boot, you can change the config...

Hey guys-- It's been a very long time, and that's because everything has been working rock solid--that is until I installed a cloned drive into my rig and now I've got issues. I feel bad when you give me the solution & it's always something easy that I felt I shold have figure out myself, but...

Great replies folks. I think they both apply here. Thanks!

Hello-- One of the duties of my job is to reformat used computers and do fresh installs of the OS. So far, just WXP. After the new OS is installed, during a boot of the system, sometimes the pre-boot lists WXP twice as a boot option. The new install on top, and the old install on the bottom...

Good thought, thanks. He has tons of AVIs (101 GBs) so if I don't have to move those around again, that would be great. We found out the cost to ship his whole system is not that much money at all, so that's what we're going to do. FYI--I did initially do a search online regarding using the OS...

Hello-- I've got a tough one here. My son got a nasty virus on his computer and I ended up deciding after the OS would no longer boot to just reformat and start all over again with a fresh install of Windows XP. Since he lives in another state, he mailed me his hard drive out of an eMachine...

We tried all of the options that the recovery CD allowed. The black screen seems to be an epidemic for Vista. I just advised the user to move forward with the Windows 7 upgrade. It was taking longer to try to go backwards then to just move forward. I appreciate the help.

Well, we're not out of the woods yet, unfortunately. Now it seems like the OS will boot, but it boots into a black screen. You can see the cursor, and it will even go into screen saver eventually. Cannot open task manager, etc. I did many searches online and it looks like this is a common...

Excellent. Thank you. He does not have the OS CD and we don't have Vista here at work--so this is his only option. It should work, I believe. Thanks again. Addendum: Dang, when I boot into the Vista repair disk and select the option of Repair, I get a pop up window that says "this...

Hello-- I always get outstanding support from this forum, so I'm hoping someone here can assist me in repairing this OS booting issues. The user said he started the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 but did not finish it. He said he got to a dialog window and wanted to end, but his little son...

lol--i just came back to say I can't find where to download, and voila', here's your post. Thanks much, sd Addendum: I uninstalled the previous release, installed the current, checked the settings--looked good. Rebooted, no joy. Then I remembered from a long lost post of mine to delete...

You guys rock. I'll try it when I get home and post my findings. You know, although I didn't know there was a final build, I did think of reinstalling EBCD. Thanks!

Hello-- I am running Windows 7 64-bit Biz on one physical drive and Windows XP 32-bit on another physical drive. W7 is my primary OS. I am using EasyBCD 2.0 Beta for dual booting my system. I made no hardware changes to my system and last night it ran fine, but tonight, when I try to boot to...

I saw the beta link in his post but figured the version I have would do the trick. I'll replace the one I have with the beta--in case I need it in teh future. Thanks again

ver 1.7.2 I thought that was the latest--but the Tweak download icon is still Tweek VI. Not 7.

SUCCESS! I was so focused on finding the boot.ini file I forgot I had to edit once I did. I am posting this from my (successfully booted) XP drive. Many thanks, mate. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Those files were in the XP partition, and we are making progress, but I got a new error message when I select XP from the boot menu. Paraphrazing: Windows can't start. Needs the file: <windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe Where do I get that file and where do I put it?

Ah, in the EDIT at the bottom. Missed that. I'll do it now and post make the results. Thanks,
