Vista - BCedit and empty boot configuration data store

Hi Folks

Can someone explain to the reason why you would need additional boot
configuraion data stores?

Details from BCEDIT help

/createstore Creates a new and empty boot configuration data store.


Cheers

Sometimes it might be needed if the original store is damaged. If you have a
backup of the store it wouldn't be needed, but one is able to create a
complete (new)store to rebuild all settings if you know what it's all about.

Creating a new bcd store can be useful if using Windows RE on a 2nd partition
(used mainly in OEM environments). Although just copying the bcd store from
the vista partition is a easier way of doing this.

Their is info in Vista help but just as with XP, the vast majority of users
including ones on this group won't touch it--and if you don't you're going
to lose the opportunity for good info. You type bcdedit in help.

There is info by searching the Technet Vista site.

Some of the information is going to be difficult for the average user
because of the terminology, involved and they m ight do better using a 3rd
party gui boot modifier.

Anytime Ko chips in you're going to get a tip or very helpful answer to the
question. I'm not sure if you could ferret out the answer from the info from
MSFT but you might.
