XP Boot Files - EasyBCD

Is there any way you can make it so that when you run the auto-configure feature, EasyBCD detects if the files boot.ini, NTLDR, and NTDETECT.COM already exist in the "system" partition, and if they do, move them to a safe place (and perhaps tell the user where it moved them to)? That way, in the rare case of EasyBCD failing to auto-configure correctly and/or creates a ntldr or ntdetect.com too big, or too small, or whatever, the original files are preserved, and the user can copy them back if necessary. As I understand it, the way it is now, if those files already exist in the "system" partition, the files are overwritten.

Yep.

But EasyBCD shouldn't make NTLDR or NTDETECT that are too big... that's a known bug, and must be fixed before 2.0 goes out :smile:

Addendum:

As you can see from the latest post here, assuming EasyBCD doesn't create the infinitely-size versions of NTLDR and NTDETECT, they work fine.
