I had Vista installed, along with EasyBCD 1.7.1, to boot a Debian Linux partition, and that was working just fine.
I then did a fresh install of Windows 7, along with EasyBCD 1.7.2, configure the same EasyBCD settings, and got file not found or corrupted (0xc000000f) errors when trying to boot Linux.
I poked about the support forum, and found some notes about needing to install Windows 7 into a single parition, like Vista was. I reinstalled Windows 7, along with EasyBCD 2.0 Beta Build 76, and I could boot into my Linux partition again.
However, before I did that, I tried EasyBCD 2.0 Beta - Build 76 with the Windows 7 separate boot and OS partitions (the Windows 7 default). That seemed to boot grub, but it was not finding the grub config file in the Linux partition, like it does with a single boot and OS partition. It just sat at the grub prompt.
Is this the expected behavior with EasyBCD 2.0 Beta - Build 76 with separate boot and OS partitions?
If no, what might the problem have been?
If yes, are there any plans to have EasyBCD support the default Windows 7 partition layout, with separate boot and OS partitions?
I could not tell from the forum if there is any intent to support this or not.
I can't really test any further, as that would require reinstalling Windwos 7 (again) to get the separate boot and OS partitions.
Handy utility though, even with this caveat.
Thanks
