BCD problem

Nothing changes, I have set to not show empty devices. and MFC only shows If I ask for Printer so show. Properties are the same also except USB properties are missing.

Grr what is it. Checked Device Manager?

Hi Snuffy,

If it is not showing in Explorer - have a look in Device Manager.

Click View > Show Hidden Devices - expand DVD/CDRom drives.

See if you can rt click it and uninstall it from there.

Nothing that shows extra, only the two DVD drives i have installed.

Well crud, going to boot into DVD run Diskpart and when i find I'll delete it and see.
what happens...

OK back. No I did not delete D:
I find in BCD an entry: Name: Windows Recovery Enviorment (Recovered)
Recovery Windows Device: Partition = D: (93111MB)
---------------------------------------------------
I left that alone. then Diskpart
list volume
Vol 0 I = DVD
Vol 1 J = DVD
Vol 2 C = Volume-6 48GB = disk 0 partition 1
Vol 3 E = Volume-4 58GB = disk 0 partition 2
Vol 4 F = Volume-5 78GB = disk 0 partition 3
Vol 5 G = Volume-7 24GB = disk 1 partition 1
Vol 6 H = Volume-8 34GB = disk 1 partition 2
Vol 7 D = Volume-1 90GB = Disk 1 partition 3 -labeled Volume-1 C:

now I also ran list disk partition, and above is actually what I find.
D: the fake CD Device is acutally Volume1-90GB C: windows 7

It seems that ASRock and BIOS will really allow things to be come jammed up tight.
I also notice my old IDE HDD on the IDE DEVICE is not found or seen
so I know it has nothing to do with the MESSed up Drive indicators.
------------------------------------
starting to get confused but then I am seeing some lite- The HDDs go back to Win98 ME - beta test Whistler - then XP beta test Vista then Vista Beta test Win7. not Win 7 only.

That why in 2 I said boot from the DVD.

Sorry, I thought you wrote for #4, prior to executing #5:

4. Change to the drive labelled Volume-1 from above output example c: may not be c:

and, I thought that was a HDD...

My error....

make hidden and system files visible.

On the N: you'll find bootmgr

Copy it to C:

in BCDedit change "device partition=N:" to "device partition=C:"

that's it.

what is the correct cmd to do this.
I do understand 1st save/export the BCD so if it does not turn correctly I can import if all fails. and does not read correctly.

thanks man, I can now boot to 2 OS. Ive had rep u.
