BCDEDIT /store c:\boot\bcd \bootsequence {UUID} throws Access Denied

[WinXPEngineer]

Great forum and great posts..I'm hoping to find my answer here..Let me see if you guys are up for this challenge..

I'm trying to reload a windows xp sp3 system with 5 partitions. root partition (c:\) has bcdedit.exe and store. z:\ is application store with bunch of batch scripts.

A web application is hosted in Apache\tomcat on c:\. One of the cgi script in web application calls a batch file on z:\ drive with following command.

BCDEDIT.exe /store c:\boot\bcd \bootsequence {UUID}

I'm getting following error

The boot configuration data tore could not be opened.
A required privilege is not held by the client.

I do not see error, if command is run from command prompt with admin privilege. my web app is running under admin privileges.

Any ideas?

Way beyond our paygrade. I'd ask the IT Pro's at Technet.

Best guess is EasyBCD. Personally I understand UEFI better than BIOS, which is saying a lot.
