BIU - clone a partition and boot it
Posted: Wed Jun 17, 2020 5:35 pm
Dear community,
Before I’m configuring my new intel NUC8 for its’s new purpose, I’m using it at the moment to test Bootit Uefi.
So far, I only used BIBM.
I’ve managed to install BIU and I’ve installed Windows 10.
In “Partition Work” I’m having 3 entries now:
- Microsoft reserved partition
- EFI system
- Win 10
In “boot edit”, I have 1 entry (“windows 10”). When I click “edit”, I can see these details:
- Identity (windows 10)
- HD (0)
- Boot (EFI System)
- Boot File (\EFI\Microsoft.001\boot\bootmgfw.efi)
I would now like to make a clone (or a copy) of this windows partition and be able to boot that clone – independently from the original “Win 10” partition:
In “Partition Work”, I select the “Win 10” partition, and I copy and paste it. So I have 4 entries now:
- Microsoft reserved partition
- EFI system
- Win 10
- Win 10 – copy
In “boot edit”, I add a new entry “Windows 10 – copy”, with these details:
- Identity (windows 10 - copy)
- HD (0)
- Boot (EFI System)
- Boot File ( ???? )
Can someone tell me what I should fill in the field “Boot File”. I would expect something similar as the original "Win 10" partition (something like \EFI\Microsoft.002\boot\bootmgfw.efi), but I don't know what to do here ....
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
