  • very nice program specially when you have a dual boot windows7 and vista boot problem it can fix easily.

  • thx

    

  • I need HELP. I did download this and i deleted my windows or maybe it just doesnt show on my sreen. On your video where it says WIndows XP , Windows Vista etc. mine says NST MAC OS X and when I click Enter it says that Windows failed to start. A secent hardware or software change might be the cause. I dont have the Windows Installation disc and I tried to make a Bootable USB but I guess the laptop wont read it. Please HELP. I even did the Windows Memory Diagnostic but nothing changes. HELP

  • @wasssuppp08 yes, if you are not careful. as long as you dont go randomly changing things, you will be fine!

  • will this work with win7/mac osx?

  • This didn't help my problem, possibly made it worse. I have the GNU Dual-Boot Loader, and when I boot up Windows 7, it shows the Dual-Boot Loader I just installed, so now I have 2 Bootloaders, and that's just a waste of time. How do I remove the GNU Dualboot Loader.

  • @theif519 Fixed it myself by rewriting the MBR with Windows 7.

  • You can install windows 7 then xp and add xp to the bootloader with this program to dual boot. Very good program

  • Go to neosmart . net, click on Wiki over toward the upper right of the page. Then click on Easy BCD portal lower left of the page. This will give you the main documentation section. There is also a good support forum.

  • tuneless at the beginning, lol !

  • I had just uninstalled Linux Mint on one of my laptops but the Linux entry was still there,even though I only had Windows. But this tool took care of that, and it also let me re name my Windows 7 heading on the boot screen to" Windows". But I would only use it to remove blank entries or re name. Nothing else as it could remove Windows operating system by mistake. Putting your computer out of action. Andrea.

  • Hay..thanks 4 the vid.... :)

  • HIPCWIZKID, how do you use supergrubdisk?? I got the same problem with RAFI

  • When I load this software it just tells me it can't find any .BCD files and therefore wont let me change any options. :(

  • Hello, PCwizKid. I'm trying to install ubuntu, and it worked, but when i restarted my computer it went to windows xp, because i have windows xp. So then i installed EasyBCD and then i installed it and this message came up: EasyBCD has detected that your BCD boot data and MBR are either not from the lastest version of windows vista, or don't yet exist. But i have windows xp not windows vista. and it say to repair the MBR, but it requires windows vista to do it.

    Can you help, please and thanks

  • good stuff

  • Can I use my windows xp installed on my Driver D:? cause i have Windows 7 ultimate as my default op on my driver C: but i would like to start my computer with Windows XP thats installed on D:... some help please? :(

  • @RonyIsCool

    I have the exact same problem, I had XP on one HD, I bought a new HD and installed 7 on it. So now I have two seperate HD's with XP on one and 7 on the other. I got EasyBCD so I could set up a dual boot, but it wont let me access the old HD to make a new entry for XP!

  • Nice video ! Thanks :)

  • Nice review!

  • Woot, works like a charm..thanks for sharing.

  • Can this be used to create a new Vista Boot Record and over write the GRUB files?

  • I can't find easy bcd

  • because it is "easybcd" not easy bcd

    use google

  • I was trying to figure out how to make XP default with Win7 dualboot and found EasyBCD. I wasn't sure how to do so without blowing up my system, then I stumbled upon this vid. Thanks!

  • Good stuff

  • hey man i installed windows vista in seagate harddrive 1000gb and i installed windows xp in anothe harddrive with 160gb so get in to windows vista and i installed easybcd and i add a entry for xp but when i restart my computer i dont see any that says windows xp or vista i

  • ... 1000 gb is called 1 tb

  • No, 1024GB is 1TB

  • @TehPwn3rz technically its 1.024TB but u can just round it down to 1TB

  • - 1

  • + 1

  • Okay I need help, I installed XP on my pre-installed Vista laptop for dual-boot, then I couldn't start Vista so I got the bootloader from a Recovery ISO I found on the internet. Now vista works fine but I can't turn off the "Use original boot configuration" in msconfig, It's just checked and greyed out. Help PLEASE?

  • good vid man

  • i think you are the smartest computer person good job (:

  • Thanks

  • been using this great tool since the release of Windows Vista....Great review!

  • Dear pcwizkid,

    i have this program called Daemon Tools so what it does it lets me run iso files for games and stuff without a drive and to install xp vista, 7 you have to reboot your system right? yeah Is there anyway i can use this program or ANY program to get the windows 7 iso that i have installed without buying a dvd drive?

    sincerely Zillerz3

  • I have a quiestion

    I have a laptop that runs vista and I have a external hard drive of 500 GB I wanna install XP in my external HD and run whenever I want.

    Can I do that? And if I can I'd like a little of help on how to do it. Thanks

  • @OoXxRAFIxXoO, google supergrubdisk and download it create a boot CD that will allow you to modify the GRUB bootloader and get your access to windows back.

  • How can I put Snow Leopard on my PC?????? Is this really possible?? How much does it cost?

  • I think you should do a review on Hiren's BootCD I use that utility and it has also boot tools than this program and much much much more utilities you can use

  • Yeah might be the best to tweak you bootloader but it aint for little tweakers , you can seriously f***k your machine up with this program ... i know i did it !! long time ago hope things have changes in the different versions

  • nice man!

  • Oh awesome, great add. Thanks.

  • great program been using for years

  • i think i used this software once it worked great then i forgot what it was so thanks!

  • Comment removed

  • YUS. i can delete that damned windows xp setup in my bootmanager finally. that was nnoying me.... D:<

  • whoa thanks i have windows 7 dual booted but unfortunetley i had 2 of the same partition and this really helped because i was able to delete that partition. easybcd is way better than gparted. thanks wizkid

  • love your tuts.

  • hey pc wiz kid can i use this to remove a boot option for an old os no longer installed?

  • @pjwithbread8, yes that is also what this utility is for.

  • @PCWizKid What if I had two OS in same partition but has been removed yet both options appear for same partition?

  • Damn! That makes it so simple. Thanks. :-D

  • An essential utility, for present or future use.

  • Excellent! Gonna use it to tweak my triple boot system

  • veryyy useful vid pcwizkid tnx

  • Chris Pirillo endorses it xD

  • Can you change the grub splash background with this? And does it run in WINE

  • what is boot loader please answer PCWiz

  • the boot loader is what the BIOS starts after its finished the POST that lets the computer load the OS u have installed. An example of a boot loader is GRUB, or Windows Boot Manager(which you see (WBM) if your system BSOD's and you are asked if you want to run in safe mode or start windows normally... thats a diagnostic part of windows' boot loader))

    hope this helps

    sorry if its unclear

  • Comment removed

  • what? no I don't think so...

  • Ha I just started dual booting.

  • im on vista x86 and it runs awesome

  • wi this work if i have 2 hdd's and one hdd has vista and on the other hdd it has windows 7? thanks

  • @petegrimsby, yes it will work.

  • you actually have no idea how much time you've saved me messing around with the grub boot loader. cheers PCWizKid

  • I use this tool all the time with all my different OSs

  • I kno this is random but I love ur cursor and how it changes color when u mover over a link like the Download button

  • @JHDRIFT95, I put my cursors for download on my website, get them from there. Cheers.

  • do your cursors work with win xp.

  • thanks PCWizKid

  • NO DUH! IT ISN"T

    u get it with tweak vi

  • can i change boot menu picture ,mandrive linux has that option

  • no it is not possible unfortunately :( i wish i can do it :O

  • yes it is possible, , instead of black screen ther would be mandrive image , i had to sintall mandriva after i installed xp jus to enable that image

  • it says i need vista ahhhh

  • super nice vid!

  • can I triple boot?

    windows vista, windows 7, mac osx

  • it depends if ur system is compatable with all of them, im triple booting windows 7, vista, and ubuntu on my laptop, so it should probably work

  • yes my system can run them, but you have ubuntu, it is a little different of mac os x. but thanks anyway.

    im portuguese

  • and i forgot my computer is a laptop

  • Yes i did it personally (but windows vista not 7 BTW) however it is 100% possible

  • you did with windows vista and mac osx?

    i forgot, my computer is a laptop :s

  • It looks like a great program. I have ubuntu installed but I never use it because I'm a gamer, I otherwise love the system. Anyway, I installed windows later so Grub got hidden.

    I guess if I ever want to go back to Ubuntu regularly this program will do the job. Thanks WizKid!

  • this exactly was my problem :D the damn grub thing :))

  • cool totally looking into it... your awesome man!

  • if you have a copy of windows 7 and you are currently running xp you can copy the boot file in the windows 7 os under c:/windows/boot to the windows xp c/windows/. This will let you use easybcd on xp instead of having to mess with boot.ini

  • omg nice 5/5

  • i've been using this for a while its great and it works with hackintosh by the way. also i have a vid about partitioning on my channel

  • thanks 4 sharing"

  • Just partition your harddrive.

    look for tutorials on YouTube.

    It's very easy to get right, but if you hit the wrong thing it's very easy to go wrong... VERY. WRONG!

  • I have one on my channel check it out. Its the windows 7 one and u can do it with anyone. Thanks!

  • Wow nice, great program. I like how it's very easy to use and right from the desktop! Thanks for filling me in PCWizKid!

  • you can do that in msconfig

  • No you can't.

  • Thats great thanx mate!

  • thanks man, helped alot

  • thx for this information bro

  • this does not work for me using vista and xp both o/s on seperat drives.

  • wow thx allot for this info

  • thats handy. The boot loader can seem a little tricky to first timers so this looks like a great tool.

  • i use vistabootpro

  • This piece of software has saved my ass many-a-time!

  • Thank you

  • very interesting utility. Can be usefull, when you want to use another OS to do stuff on.

  • we all could

  • VistaBootPRO works the same way and is just as good. Its what I use.

  • you can also do this without this app ... just click start > run (on xp) on vista just click on start and then type "msconfig" just try it it's really simple !!

  • Awesome Thanks!!
