Hi All,
I'm trying to set up a dual-boot for Windows 7 and Linux Mint, with Linux Mint being installed on the Windows file system (like Wubi for Ubuntu), but the installer will not add a new boot record. I can't see any way to add this C:\wubildr.mbr file to the boot options with Easy BCD 2.1.1; the only option that seems close is the grub/Wubi option, but that installs something from NeoSmart which doesn't work. Is there really no way to add a custom .mbr file with this product (which is what I was hoping for when I bought this a few hours ago).
I've been looking for a while now for some decent documentation for the bcdedit.exe tool (eventually deciding to give this product a try), and I still just don't see what I need to do it via the command line, but it's looking like its my only option after all if this product isn't flexible enough (which I still can't believe yet). I thought of trying copying webildr.mbr over that file in the NST directory, but I'm concerned that an update would overwrite it. This product was good for removing old boot items, but if that's all I can do than it wasn't worth the money.
So what can I do?
Thanks.
