Easy 2.0 auto-configurator fixes that, Cool.
I have an IDE disk which Vista calls disk 0 (It's 1 in the BIOS), but 2.0 correctly rebuilt my boot.ini for me. (Guru got me to test it specifically, before making it public)
Click to expand...

The autoconfig use C:\ on win7 for XP boot, but not copy the boot.ini,ntdetect.com, and ntldr automatically. BTW, how to make rebuilt boot.ini automatically.
Well if you need a rabbit for test experience, i would like to help.

The autoconfig copies boot.ini over correctly, realbabilu, but does not copy NTLDR and NTDETECT since neither ship with EasyBCD.

So boot.ini ships with EasyBCD then? hmm...
My understanding of it was that EasyBCD creates its own boot.ini if it detects one does not already exist in the "system" partition, and it places it in there. But you're saying it ships with EasyBCD, and it gets copied to the "system" partition, and automatically configured?

By copy he probably meant locate it on the system and copy it over to the correct partition. There isn't a need to ship boot.ini, a settings file, with EasyBCD since it is capable of creating/configuring boot.ini correctly on its own.

Well, that's what I thought originally, but CG's last post is what made me think differently...
From what it sounded like, boot.ini comes along with EasyBCD, and is copied into the "system" partition, and there is configured automatically.

Linux installed!

Just installed the linux on SATA HDD...The grub was on MBR.
Copied all options especially the UUID of linux to notepad
Linux Installed with IDE HDD, creates error on Grub.
Linux Installed again with IDE unplugged


Results:
The EasyBCD 2.0:
BCD restarted from scratch just Vista/7 [testing]
The Linux options not responding
The Mac option installed
The Grub cannot installed if Mac installed.

The EasyBCD 1.7.2
The linux option responding, but cannot booted. error system. removed
The Mac and The grub can installed together, but the linux still cannot rebooted

Back to EasyBCD 2.0
The Grub reinstall succeed, no pop-up again for installing both mac and grub ????

Removes the Grub from SATA with bootsect.exe /nt60 c: /mbr
