I have two hard drives. One hard drive is Windows 7 (A) and one is Windows XP (B). I want to edit the boot-loader to show Windows 7 and Windows XP as choices.
The Boot-loader I'm using is Windows 7, as I installed Windows 7 after Windows XP.
Windows 7 is "Disc 0, Partition 0"
Windows XP is "Disc 2, Partition 0"
How would I go about setting this up? Is there a tool that can help me?
Thanks
EDIT:
I've been reading about bcdedit, and the part that confuses me is I have no idea how it works. The options people type in have no reference to drives or partitions, how does bcdedit "know" where stuff is?
Here are the options I have come up with so far:
bcdedit /create {ntldr} /d "Windows XP Professional" //add Windows to the list
//how do i tell bcdedit that XP is on Disk 2, Partition 0?
bcdedit /displayorder {ntldr} /addlast //make it so it's last
Any help would be greatly appreciated
