I have used two tools for multiboot PC in labs. 1. Grub is from open software environment. There is a learning path, but I could resolve some heterogeneous configurations. 2. In Windows environment I adopted small program EasyBCD, that hides the details behing bcdboot. I could have configuration i "one minute": http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/ Regards Milos

Didn't know where the heck to place this so, leaned more on the Miscellaneous than, the Windows 7 FYI: This is due to folks in another tech forum asking about changing things in a duel-boot scenario. An OS was installed then, another, hence the dual-boot... we'll call them 1 & 2. NOW, they want OS2 to exist and boot w/out OS1 The following is a way to do it: I had a dual-boot, Windows 7 x86 & x64. x86 was the 1st OS installed & held the Boot. Using bcdboot C:\Windows /s C:the boot was moved to the x64's parition. This is via cmd on the (now) 'preferred' machine, where the Boot is to be. Drive holding the x86 was disconnected, to confirm the x64 would, now, boot w/out the x86 in the picture. (optional) x86 partition deleted & formatted. In msconfig all boot paths, except the x64, deleted. Can & may use the, now, free partition for Windows 8; prefer, not virtual. (but, that's an aside to this discussion) Anyway, the above is how it's done. Quite easy & simple , really. Drew MS Partner / MS Beta Tester / Pres. Computer Issues Pres.

Hi, Thanks for sharing your experience about dual-boot system. These steps are very easy to understand. At this time, I would like to share some links about multi-boot also: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Install-more-than-one-operating-system-multiboot http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919529 Best Regards, Kim ZhouPlease remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
