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
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.
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.
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.

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 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? :(
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!
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!
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
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?
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?
@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.
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
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
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))
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!
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
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 !!
anything with more power is better and i want 2 awaken this pc power lol and pc wizkid can u do 1 how 2 cfhsnge the bloodey vista start up tune i want 2 change it and keep up the good work
very nice program specially when you have a dual boot windows7 and vista boot problem it can fix easily.
