Hi Terry60,
your text is not very helpful ...
It seeems that a lot of computers has different Windows 8.1 versions on it. By example I can not find the fast boot option on the energy control pannel in Windows 8.1 on two notebooks (from Samsung and from Acer).
easyB7 hours to CD seems to be fine ... but has the some problems like all Linux distributions ... very fine on the outside and full of "tournarrounds" in the inner side.
I am a Windows expert ... but I am still seeking for clean instructions in easyBCD ... by example WHERE write the MBR.
I have now a Linuxmint installation on a partition of a HDD on a Samsung ultra Notebook. I had for more then 7 hours to find out a way to make working a USB-bootable disk installer (the most are full of bugs!). Only one was able to made that I can install linuxmint on a hdd partition .. and there the system stays and it is not possible to verify if it exists (windows does not read EXT4-Partitions). And it is not possible to START the new system from the HDD! For this raison I have seek for easyBCD ... And with easyBCD it was possible to get a boot menu with 2 entrys .. Windows 8.1 AND linuxmint ... but only the Windows system will start.
I feel that there is a problem with the MBR ... easyBCD does not explain WHERE the user must store the new MBR ... and every time when I will store the MBR on a disk he ask me for a active primary partition ... when I add a new System this works fine ... name linuxmint ... Grub2 ... seek automatical ... and the entry is in the boot menu ... but does nothing ...
Linuxmint is a very fine computer system but the developpers do not have enough practice to know that it is a stupid way to handle when a software producer create multiple "tournarounds" ... a system like linuxmint must install witout any "tournaround" learned by the users after multiple crashs.
I wold also that the developpers of easyBCD learn that such programs must work in a simple way ... still the selection between Grub and Grub2 is for the most users a big problem.
I would to have a easyBCD version "for dummies" ... simple to use and with a simple help fonction when the user must made a choice. By example a button beside of the choice "grub" who open a Internet page where the user can learn what he does use.
thanks,
