Drive letters assignement
Hello;
I am facing some problems: I am trying to have 3 boot drives (W7, W10, W10-SSD), this is easy using EasyBcd, but... My configuration is: Disk C: = Boot + Windows, Disk D: = Applications (for all boots) Two boots are working: W7 and W10-SSD, but W10 boot does not work, and i think that the assignment letter for the Drive D: is not correct. Is there a way to correct "offline" (as W10 is not booting), this assignment letter in the W10 drive C: (in a Windows file or other) ?? Thanks for any answer |

How do you know one config "does not work". "Windows" doesn't say which edition you are using (Home, Pro, Enterprise): neosmart.net/EasyBCD/#comparison notes you have to pay for their commercial version to use the Pro and Enterprise editions with their product. I don't use EasyBCD but found the following: https://neosmart.net/wiki/easybcd/dual-boot/bcd-based/ Did you see the comments at the bottom of that page? Also found: https://neosmart.net/wiki/enable-uefi-boot/ https://neosmart.net/wiki/windows-wont-start/ https://neosmart.net/wiki/kernel-security-check-error/ I did not bother to search on "does not work". With specific information on the problem, their FAQs might help. |

I hit several articles or mentions at their site that EasyBCD doesn't fix booting problems but instead to use their Easy RE tool. https://neosmart.net/EasyRE/ Alas, not free. |

I hit several articles or mentions at their site that EasyBCD doesn't fix booting problems but instead to use their Easy RE tool. https://neosmart.net/EasyRE/ Alas, not free. You can try the Macrium emergency boot CD "boot repair". An assumption would be, that you point it at the BCD which is in control of the situation, and at the very least, the BCD contains entries for all OSes (because it's a boot repair, not a mind reader). You also have the option of editing the BCD yourself. I've corrected the drive letter within the BCD myself on one occasion. You can use BCDedit from a WinPE disc, and edit the BCD. As for the OPs request and config, I only have pity for him, because in my Win10 dual boot setup, if you select the non-default OS, the boot loader does a "double start" and the process is slow as molasses. It's better to manage booting with the BIOS popup boot (if these are separate drives for each OS). If all the OSes are on one drive, then I suppose you don't have much choice. Perhaps a GRUB boot loader to control them, then makes as much sense as the Microsoft one (chainload them individually or something). The only reason I did a dual boot Win10/Win10 setup, was to test whether Microsoft could handle it or not. I can't say I'm impressed with the results - it doesn't matter whether you turn off Fast Boot or not, the boot loader uses the same dumb logic in either case. By all means, multiboot, but be aware the design is only getting worse with time, not better. Paul |
