Re: Modifying equivalent to boot.ini on Vista

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Boot the computer from the Vista DVD, open a command prompt window
(shift F10), and execute the bootrec /rebuildbcd command.

Then use the bcdedit command to change the default OS, and to delete
the old Vista entry.

Hi,

I would like to do the equivalent change on Vista, nitice that it only is
the partition which is changing is two different locations:

From this:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

To this:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect


.
