Don't know if this is in the right forum or if it should be in the Windows forum, but I thought i'd try here first in case EasyBCD has an option to fix this and I just can't find it. .
I quad boot Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8. Before adding Windows 8, I used to have a nice simple boot menu with my different OS choices on it that I could arrow up and down to choose. Since adding Windows 8, the computer now has the Windows 8 multiple boot menu and if I want to choose a different OS, the computer has to basically reboot. I thought I had resolved the issue with EasyBCD and I did to a certain extent. I can get my traditional boot menu like I had before, but only with a system restart if the computer has already been turned on. If I power down the computer, the first time I turn it back on I will get the Windows 8 multiple boot menu. From that point on, as long as I don't turn the power off, I will get the traditional boot menu on any system restart.
Does EasyBCD have an option to get the traditional boot menu back without having to boot to Windows 8 first on initial power up? Does any of this make sense?
