    All is fine for now! Let's recap:
    in elevated command prompt:
    Code:
     
    bcdedit /enum all
    works if "system reserved" partition is assigned a drive letter. If not assigned a drive letter ... it fails. Is that correct and the only problem? Also msconfig lists the right info if drive letter has been assigned
    Correct.

    Correct.
    bcdedit /enum all

    When no drive letter assigned. What exact error message?

    In \Boot\bcd (on system reserved) is all the bootmenu info. it's actually a registry hive. It doesn't contain info like "win7 is on physical disk 3" and also not "win7 is on partition 2". It contains info like "win7 is on physical drive with signature 732A9F on partition starting on sector 12389108" that is why you can swap disk ordering without problems. even creating partitiosn on physical drive isn't a problem... as long as the start sector remains the same.

    Your win7 boots and is fine. It finds the bcd on "system reserved" and start further from C-drive. Very strange.

    disk management knows the partition where bcd store is located. It is marked as "system" succesfully (?) bcdedit/enum command should be able to display it.

    In my OP i stated, When I type bcdedit in elevated CMD Prompt, it says "The boot configuration data store could not be opened.The system cannot find the file specified."

    Why does it only label it "System Reserved" when assigned and is this normal?

    good question!! And why did it not show it as filesystem NTFS? And why it didn't know the used space?...

    in elevated command prompt:

    diskpart
    sel dis 0
    list part (note the partition number of 100MB partition)
    sel part 1 (replace with actual number)
    det part
    exit

    post output

    Don't mean to intrude, but in Admin cmd prompt, can it find bcdedit in c:\user directory?

    Sorry, I just answered my own stupid question. Yes it can.

    I know what you want me to do but I don't understand what you meant by;
    list part (not the partition number of 100MB partition)
    sel part 1 (replace with actual number)

    This is when it's assigned

    bcdedit.exe is in C:\Windows\system32. And C:\Windows\system32 in in the search path!
    So I don't see the problem
