Need Help with Batch File

[N A Malik]

Hi,
I have following three commands that I want to run in a batch file (at x:\Windows\system32 and I am at the correct rirectory by default), commands are as:
bcdedit /set {default} device partition=c:
bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=c:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device partition=c:
I tried to write batch file but when I call it simply shows me the above commands but not worked for me, so please correct me what is the wrong with my batch file. Here is my Batch file that I created.
@echo off
echo cd x:\Windows\system32
echo bcdedit /set {default} device partition=c:
echo bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=c:
echo bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device partition=c:
Please help in this regards.

I am assuming you tested each of the commands manually in a DOS (command) window and they work correct?

If I am reading your post correctly you have the echo in front of each line in the batch file which all that does is display the line following the echo on the display without running them.

If I am correct remove the echo from each of the 3 lines and try it again.

Remove the "echo" command from every line (except @echo off), then it will run. "echo" means print the passed argument to the standard output (display).

I'm curious why you are having to batch any boot control.

Regardless...
I would suggest that if these are one-off changes, you'd be best served by using easybcd.
It makes life soooo much easier.

I'd second that, I'm curious myself as to what your trying to do. It should only have to be done once unless your doing some dual booting in a way I'm not thinking of.

...dunno, please advise...

I would think he is running it from pe, and using either as a fix, or as part of an automated instalation routine .

Dear All !
Today i tried to as you advised and It WORKED !!! Thank you so much once again

Reason : Some guys are wondering why I am doing that .... Actually I imaged the machine with Imagex and after deployment it complaints about the Boot Manager and from the Tech Net i got the above commands and then make a batch file so I not have to copy /past each command.

Hello N A Malik.



Glad to see you found a solution, thanks for the update.

 

[N A Malik]

I used it because after imaging a machine with imagex it complaint about the boot mananger and not recognizizes the "C" partition as boot partition.
