I have created a triple-boot scenerio using BCDEDIT (Vista, XP, Win PE) that works fine -- I can boot any of the three. Partition 1 contains the \boot files and bootmgr as well as Win PE. Partition 2 contains XP and partition 3 contains Vista.
I'd like to now use EasyBCD to maintain my system. But when I launch it, I get the error in the title, with "EasyBCD has detected that your BCD boot data and MBR are either not from the latest version of Windows Vista, or don't yet exist."
I get a similar result using version 2.0 Beta, which complains that it can't find the BCD.
Note that when I boot Vista or XP, the OS is in C: and my boot partition is enumerated as D:, as I expect and desire.
Can anyone tell me what EasyBCD is looking for that I have not provided? Following is the output of bcdedit /enum when run it from my Vista boot:
