Comments on: How to modify Windows 7 Boot Loader?

Just wound up with a Thinkpad where getting to the restore partition is part of the Vista/Win7 bootloader setup - as a matter of fact all the BCD stuff and bootloader were already made part of XP... So I decided to see how it will recover if the XP partition is erased - and as expected the system is no longer recoverable. The bootsectors have know knowledge about the recovery partition, and bcdrecover doesn't know about 'non' windows pieces - besides where should it build all the BCD files when there is no filesystem around? What brilliant design! So far the Windows boot setup for multiple OS was bad enough using some filesystem in some other OS for booting - and all the fun when this OS needed to be deleted. Now the recovery depends on the existence of some files in the very same OS that needs to be replaced...

Thanks a bunch, I just installed Win7 and was wondering how to do that.

Also, I am triple booting Win7-WinXP-PCLinuxOS, so I had to jump through another hoop to set that up, since Win7 install overwrites the MBR. Had to manually restore GRUB (initial boot menu used for Linux).

So far, Win7 is not bad though, maybe better than XP.

Glad, it helped you. If you won't mind, share your experience with Windows 7.

Hey thanks for this write up, I have XP SP3 installed as my main OS, and I installed W7 RC on another partition just to try it out and for testing purposes etc but I don't plan on making the switch completely until at least 6 months from now.

This little tutorial was exactly what I needed!

Win7 was on a separate drive that is no longer part of the raid array on this machine. I haven't tried what DG suggested because I'm very busy with work and school. When I do get time I'll post back the results. Thanks to both of you for your help.
