Windows Boot Manager, I want to change the Configuration of hard disk

I have a computer with two former 500 GB Hard Drives.  The "Legacy" operating system is installed on the first physical hard disk in the system and Windows 7 is installed on the second physical hard disk, they are the identical WD drives.  I bought a new Seagate Barracuda 1000 GB drive, I want to use in place of the mark.

So currently I have:

SATA-0, score 0: Legacy 500 GB OS

SATA-5, score 0: 500 GB Windows 7

With the new player, I want to:

SATA-0, score 0: Legacy 500 GB OS

SATA-0, Partition 1: 500 GB Windows 7

I have disk imaging software, able to copy both disks to the new partitions on the new disk.  What I want to know is how can ensure me that I continue to get the start menu to see the two operating systems.

Of course, I will still have the old hard disks available, and I can always put them in.  It's just that the cloning process takes a long time, and I would like to have my procedure in advance.  The first time I have start the system with the 1 TB drive, it will not be a disk of 500 Go SATA-5, score 0: in the computer.  I don't know which files must be modified to search for Windows 7 in the new location.

I shouldn't need to do a reinstall of windows.  I think I found the answer to what I was looking elsewhere.

I remember that two years ago, when I set up the Dual boot system, I followed these instructions:

http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/8057-dual-boot-installation-Windows-7-XP.html

When I did, I had a dual boot menu:

-Old Version of Windows

-Windows 7 Professional

Of course I meant "Windows XP" rather than "earlier Version of Windows.  I searched and found that a tool exists to modify this menu.  I don't remember what they called the tool when I presented this request.  I was pretty sure that the tool would allow me to have the change of start menu where he sought the installation of Windows7.

Today, I found the name of the tool, it is called BCDEDIT. EXE.  It allows you to safely edit the menu file, and startup locations resemble the old file boot.ini of Windows NT days.  Here's what the tool then generates on the command line.

Windows Boot Manager

    Hallo all

    Can someoane help me with this little problem?
    I have a portable satellite A210-128 with a hard drive of 250 G 4200 RPM (* slowest *)... I want to change the hard drive with a hdd 2.5 "Western Digital 320 G 7200 RPM (* speed *).

    Question:

    Thank you.

    As to the question;

    (1) I think a SATA2 HARD drive would go because the standard SATA2 is compatible to the bottom. But I assume that the system will operate as a good HDD SATA.

    (2) Yes, you can install vista using the Toshiba Recovery DVD. It shouldn't be a problem with a fresh install

  • Can not change the configuration extreme airport

    Hello everyone, the community can maybe help me.

    I am a long-time Apple guy and can usually solve my own problems, but this one left me speechless. I have an Airport Extreme ages of less than 1 year. I set up OK and used for the last year. Now, I want to change the configuration. Specifically I add a port to the front, but I also had this problem, try to change the MAC address access lists, changing the wireless channel, allowing access as a guest, and probably any other change in config I try.

    Anyway, once I made the change, not restarting airport but then it fails to return to the top. The yellow light comes on and sometimes the utility Airport told me that he was unable to update the config. In this State I have to pull the plug to restart and once I did, the airport is back re-run without the changes I had made.

    It doesn't matter if I use the Airport 6.3.6 on El Capitan utility or Airport utility on iOS 9.2. The result is always the same. No change, fails to return to the top.

    I did a soft reset a hard reset and a factory reset. I've reconfigured from scratch (several times) and still can't seem to take a successful configuration change. I'm at the end of the ideas. I plan to return it because it's the year is February 2, but I don't want to go through the hassle if I can fix it myself or if it is a known problem that will not change with a change of equipment.

    In any case, here is specific information on the version by any chance, anyone else had this problem or knows a fix:

    Airport Extreme 802.11ac (ME918LL/A)

    Mac OS X 10.11.2

    Airport Utility 6.3.6

    iOS 9.2

    The actual configuration is crucial here.

  • Each hour of power, get a screen with the options to manually select windows Boot Manager.

    Original title: how to stop the boot to the power manager to the top

    I have a Dell Inspiron 15R-5520 with windows 7 64 bit. Everytime I turn it on, I get a screen of windows boot manager with options should I select manually every time I want to use the device. Looking for information/links on how to eliminate this from happening without a re - install?

    Hello

    If you have more than one operating system installed on your computer, you can choose the one that starts when you turn on your computer. More than one operating system installed on a computer is often called a multiboot configuration.

    If you try to select only the operating system by default to start when you turn on or restart your computer, you can see and try the steps to set the default operating system.

    You can also set the time of the display of the operating system from the list.

    Change the default operating system for startup (multiboot)

    Note: This article also applies to Windows 7.

    If you do not use the other operating system, you can also try the following steps to remove the entry from the boot order and check:

    a. click Start , Start search box type msconfig and press ENTER.

    b. click on the Startup tab.

    c. you will see the number of operating systems installed, select the operating system you want to remove.

    d. now click on Remove.

    e. click apply and Ok

    f. restart the computer and check.

    Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

    Hello

    If you do not, use another PC to create a rescue CD Windows 7.  Download the ISO relevant among the links below.

    Windows 7 32 bit

    Windows 7 64 bit

    You must use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  One time created, or if you already have this, typing away at the esc key when you launch Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Insert the rescue CD.  Select boot options (usually f9), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

    When loading, select repair your computer and choose the command prompt.  When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.

    Bootrec.exe

    Boot CD

    BCD attrib s h - r

  • Can I enable disable the Windows Boot Manager?

    My Vista Home Premium 64 has a great deal for a year.  Now, at the start, I get "Windows Boot Manager" (a scary BACK-looking screen) which delays the start-up for 30 seconds, and everything seems to work MUCH more slowly.  I think the problem started when I installed Norton Ghost 14.  Can I disable this thing WBM somehow and have always Windows Vista starts successfully?  How?

    The change occurred because of an option in Ghost. Ghost may have given you an option to create a recovery partition and you took it. Consult the manual of Ghost or its options or contact Symantec technical support. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Hi Maddy,

    This problem may occur if the Windows startup files are damaged or missing.

    If your computer has integrated system recovery options, you can try to perform the Startup Repair and check if it helps.

    If it fails, you must have a Windows Vista installation disc and try to parade Startup Repair boot from the disc.

    If the problem persists, try the steps in the article to rebuild BCD, boot from the installation disc.

    Use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    Because you replaced the hard drive, you can also get in contact with the Dell helpdesk for assistance.

    Hope the helps of information.

  • Remove Windows installing on the Windows Boot Manager

    Title: two Windows Vistas on my PC

    I installed windows vista on my pc, but it wasn't working properly, so I installed it again.  When my computer starts it now goes to windows Boot Manager where there are two window vista operating systems.  The first is OS (C) data D, and the second is OS (D) data C.  First of all, why my computer goes to the window instead of going directly boot manager in windows vista.  Second, how remove the windows version of vista that I do not want to and get the one I want to get into Windows vista without using the Boot Manager?

    Hi BertieBarfield,

    To remove an entry in the Windows Vista Boot Configuration, the simplest method is to use msconfig.

    To start msconfig:

    (a) click Start

    (b) in the search text box, type msconfig

    (c) launch msconfig by selecting it in the results of search above the search text box.

    After that the system configuration is launched:

    (d) go to the Startup tab

    (e) select the boot entry to remove.

    (f) click the button Delete and then click OK.

    Note: Be sure to be connected to the Windows Vista partition, you want to keep when you perform these steps if you do not remove the good installation by mistake, this will cause data loss.

  • Start window manager: sometimes when I started my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.

    Sometimes when I start my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.  Although there are several options available, that nothing happens no matter what keys I hit and the only option is to shut down the computer and restart completely.  Sometimes the Boot Manager page turns and my office sometimes opens fine.  I've updated with everything Microsoft has Windows Vista and I still get this screen.  Anyone has any ideas.

    Do a startup repair and see if that fixes it:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
