I was interested in trying out EASYBCD's Neogrub facility. I have a multiboot system with 4 discrete Windows 7 OS's. 3 on one standard SATA drive and another on an SSD. When I "installed" the Neogrub feature via the Neogrub tab on the "ADD New Entry" window it chose to place the NST folder in the 100MB "System Reserved" system partition on the SSD drive which was created during the install of the Windows 7 on that SSD. I ran EASYBCD while "booted" from that SSD resident version of Windows 7 in order to install Neogrub. I rebooted and confirmed that proper booting operation was maintained. The problem is that when I boot from some of the other Windows 7 partitions the particular "System Reserved" partition on the SSD housing the NST folder is NOT assigned a drive letter and thus not visible. Consequently, EASYBCD cannot see that file and any attempt to edit/configure the MENU.LST fails. I've tried to force the "NODEFAULTDRIVELETTER" attribute for the SSD's "System Reserved" volume from YES to NO using DISKPART to no avail. It won't let me. The partition does NOT have the hidden flag on but is not assigned a drive letter during boot by some of the Windows 7 OS's. I also tried to rerun EASYBCD to install Neogrub while booted into each of the 3 non-SSD instances of Windows 7 but in each case EASYBCD created the NST folder on the same "System Reserved" partition on the SSD. This is probably because that partition has the "system" flag set.
I am assuming that all of this does not affect the actual operation of the Neogrub mechanism but it would be nicer if EASYBCD would remember where the NST folder is and indicate that it cannot be configured from certain OS's. Alternatively, EASYBCD might allow an explicit location selection for the NST folder during Neogrub install. This would require some additional documentation to highlight exactly what the location constraints for the MENU.LST actually are.
