I would wish to be able to select myself, which installation to choose.
Background: After spending my system a new SSD drive, I put Windows XP and Windows 7 on it, but left the old installations on the hard disks as fallback possibilities. For about 2 years I booted from grub2 into 2 different bcd menues, from which I could either choose Xp or Win 7 (bdc 1 had Xp as default option, bcd 2 Win 7; from both files I could also boot the old installations). I remember that I spent a lot of time to configure the booting menues, until they worked as planned.
For some reason the first bcd file stopped working (message about bad boot.ini file), the second one works fine. Now I tried to repair the first bcd and encounter a lot of troubles. It would really help a lot, when EasyBCD would tell one, which installation (like /dev/sda1 in Linux) is selected as Win XP system drive and where the corresponding boot.ini file should live. It would also avoid many tries and errors, if EasyBCD could tell, which drive is used (the hint, not to select the drive or partition oneself didn't resolve that problem.) If EasyBCD finds more XP installations, it could let the user select, which one to choose.
I will have a closer look at the different boot.ini files, which are sitting on several partitions; the one on the new XP drive looks fine for me.
