Hi,
For simplicity, I have two drives, the first is a RAID5 array with two partitions, P(0,1) and P(0,2), and the second is a basic drive with one partition, P(1,1). P(0,1) has Windows 10. P(1,1) has Windows XP. I have used MiniTool Partition Wizard to copy Windows XP from P(1,1) to P(0,2) and used EasyBCD to set up a multi-boot in Windows 10 to the Windows 10 partition and the two Windows XP partitions. Booting to P(1,1) works OK with P(1,1) as the C: drive. Booting to P(0,2) succeeds, but only if P(1,1) is present and becomes the C: drive and stores the Page File with P(0,2) as the Boot drive and P(0,1) as the System Drive. Without P(1,1), booting to P(0,2) fails just after logging in.
For resilience, I only want to use the RAID drive. Where in a multi-boot environment are the locations of the Boot, System, Page File and C: drives determined?
Regards,
Andy Dransfield
