HI,
very new to win7 and didn't under stand the partitions, it looks alittle like linux, wonder if they borrowed some ideas.
The one really important concept to grasp for me was never try to install the easybcd to the primary hard drive if its win7 , win7 dosent seem to need or use a boot loader.
When I changed cmos boot order to drive B and didn't mess with win7 everything worked flawlessly, the easybcd new how to kick start 7 from the second hard drive that loaded first.
My only problem now is my OEM copy of XP was keyed to my old mother board, So i have the dreaded count-down to use. T-29 days,,,:S
Thanks for a wonderful product. It will work with win7 just dont try and load it to the first partition as we do with Grub or that other boot loaded. Cause it will kill win 7.
PS that back up copy of win7 and trouble-shooting disk can re-load or fix the boot function of win7 easily. So be sure to make up those back up copies before messing with updates on a new PC. Theres a reason it reccomended at start up. PS never format the entire hard drive you'll mess up the auto back up feature in xp.
Or you'll be buying a back-up restore program from the PC Vender...:nerd:
