| | Move the actual boot loader to different partition? Hi, Is it possible to move the whole boot loader to a different partition? Here's the current setup: P1 Dell Utility p2 Vista boot loader and old o/s (was C drive of old o/s) p3 Data p4 Vista o/s Can I move the the whole boot loader to p4 and then set p4 Active in the MBR (subject to BIOS geometry translation limits)? I noticed in BCDEDIT you can create a new "store", but it's not clear if this will actually install a partition boot sector at the same time? (I don't care if the whole thing breaks trying to do this) -- Gerry Hickman (London UK) |
