Moving Boot manager to Different Drive
Went to test drive Win7 drive image backup and because the Vista/Win7 boot manager is on XP (triple boot), Win7 needs to run the backup to include XP drive as well.
Can I move the boot manager from XP to the Windows 7 drive so I can run the backup of Win7 without including XP's drive?
Note: Because I use Dell's Media Direct on Vista, only the XP drive is a Primary Drive, Vista & Win7 are Logical. Not sure if thats going to matter.
I'm OK with command prompt & bcdedit. What I'm not sure about is the term "store", Is it the store that contains the boot manager and by moving the store, will it reassign/rework the boot loaders for each OS drive?
I understand its critical to not make mistakes here and have exported the store to different locations including a thumb for backup. But if this goes bad, I might need help getting a bootable system back.
Wish I had a spare 2.5 drive lying around, it would have made testing Win7 a lot easier.
