Hi There All!
Here is my problem.
I have just completed clean re-install of my computer which has three hard drives which are configured in sata.
In my bios this is how they show: sata 1
sata 2
sata 3
sata 4-Win xp pro
sata 5-Win 7 Ultimate
sata 6-Win Vista Home Premium
These are three separate hard drives with a single Os on each. I believe one of my mistakes was to install the operating systems in the wrong order.I was told by a
level 2 Microsoft agent to install "Win 7 Ultimate" first.Then install "Vista" and finally to install "Win XP Pro".
I was told also to pull the power and data cables from the hard drives on which I was not doing the install so as not to install to the wrong drive. The guy
specifically told me that the "Win 7 Ult" Os would see the other drives and and create a boot manager.
I ended up with no boot manager at all but I could enter and use each drive/os by pulling the power and data cables off the other two drives and then cold starting
the machine.
now I have downloaded "Easy BCD" onto the win 7 drive and also onto the vista drive. I am providing a printscreen shot of the disk management system as seen from the
Vista drive with (C
being vista and (F
being WIN XP Pro and (E
/(G
being Win 7 Ult.
Is my system fixable with Easy bcd?
Thank you very much.
