- New install of Windows 7 64 bit on disk 0, a Kingston 120 GB SSD
- Install easyBCD 2.1.2, and add 2 other boot entries ( Windows 7 32 bit and Windows Vista, from another HDD)
- Test this, and bootmanager shows correct list of OS and all OS choices boot OK
- boot into Windows 7 64 bit from SSD
- install latest version of iReboot from EasyBCD menu; installs correctly
- reboot using iReboot: 'Reboot on Selection'
- some error message appears too quickly to read any of this and system restarts but:
- ERROR: system no longer comes up with the bootmanager OS choice; even with only the SSD connected Windows 7 no longer boots
- it appears that the bootsector is wiped (message: select proper boot device or insert bootable medium )
I have re-installed Windows 7 twice on my new SSD and found the iReboot bug twice. Is anything known about this bug?
EDIT: It seems I was a tad hasty; on disconnecting the HDDs and booting from SSD only, I found the bootmanager was still there, and thus that the boot sector on the SSD had NOT been wiped; but on trying to boot from the HDD into Windows 7 32 bit I found that there is no boot choice, and omce restarted, EasyBCD reports NO entries at all. So that has been wiped by the action of iReboot, and I continue to believe that there is a bug in iReboot. Hope someone finds it. Cheers!
