Saving Changes I make in BCD using EasyBCD.txt
I own 2 new Dell Computers: A XPS M1710 LapTop and a Dimension 9200 Tower. Both are Dual-Boot Vista and XP Pro. Had a major hit from a MALWARE product that took out my RESTORE Files, some system files etc. on the XPS. Unable to remove MALWARE from Vista Drive, I was forced to format Drive and reinstall Vista Business as instructed by Dell Support Staff.
Problem: On start up my XPS system reaches the Dual-Boot page showing a selection of Vista and XP Pro. Selecting Vista loads Vista. Selecting XP Pro loops me back to rebooting. I am unable to REPAIR the Dual-Boot to Access XP Pro no matter what I try. So... got a brain wave to copy the BCD from my Dell 9200 and compare it to the XPS BCD.
Well, I found Items that needed correction but couldn't make any of the changes STICK. I made the changes in "View Settings" Display Mode 'Detail (Debug Mode)' and cannot for the life of me find out how to save any changes whatsoever. If I knew how to save my changes, I am sure I can get my Dual-Boot system working again.
Have I put in much effort on this MAJOR PROBLEM? How about 34 hours worth of wasted time. On the LapTop XPS Vista in on Drive C: and XP Pro is on Drive F: On the Dell Dimension 9200 XP Pro is on C: and Vista is on D: Below are copies of the BCD's
