Hi,

I have a single drive with 3 partitions (Vista, Win7, and data).
I loaded Windows Vista to the C partition. This is the active partition.
Installed TrueImage 2011 and then restored my Windows 7 disk image
(including applications) to a new partition D
I used EasyBCD to add the 2nd partition (D) to the boot loader
When I restart I see the choices for Vista or Windows 7.
When I select Windows 7, I get an error message for Winload.exe "Windows
cannot verify the digital signature for this file"
I can still boot into Windows Vista.


I ran BCDedit and get the following:

device partition=D:

locale en-US
osdevice partition=D:

It appears to show both partitions.

How do we solve this issue?

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response.

Is that the Vista file in C\windows\boot\PCAT ?

I do not see bootmgr in the c\windows\system32\boot folder in the Vista (C) installation. I only see winload and winresume.
