On one occasion a boot into XP saw the manage boot loader option used and the other saw a boot up with the Vista dvd. To see Vista remain as the default OS the VIsta boot loader was restored actually more then once with the previous try at seeing Mandriva 2008 go on before ubuntu. The distro at first was then made the default OS seeing the Vista boot loader option. The installer actually saw Grub installed on both of the two sata drives with the first being the Vista primary and second for XP. Grub was installed by the live cd when first installing the distro off of a live disk. I have Grub on drive at the present time after seeing ubuntu added into the mix along with the XP/Vista dual boot. I know something like that would require a lot recoding, but something I'm sure a lot of users would appreciate.

They are not limited by the limitations of any OS since you not need one to run them. without the need for a seperate recovery disc.įor example, Super Grub Disk is an excellent bootable disk for configuration and the use of GRUB.īootable discs in my opinion are the most convient way to maintence a system. Users could easily perform simple tasks such as re-installing the Vista bootloader to the MBR as well as edit thier entries from a single disc. Though this user wasn't having just boot problems, a bootable disc could make it easier for users that need to verify that the entries in the BCD store are correct when they cannot boot Vista.Ī bootable disc would make a single solution possible for complete configuration and restoration of boot entries or the entire BCD store itself. I've seen some people ask about being able to boot EasyBCD from a disc, like noted in this thread:
