Problem with Win7 copy
Problem with Win7 copy
Hi - I want to be able to boot between 2 copies of Win7. I've installed BIBM and copied the Win7 partition but the properties for the copy say the partition is not bootable. I have the System reserved partition followed by Win7 then the Win7 copy and last the BIBM partition. This all on one drive.

Re: Problem with Win7 copy
Since you have a System Reserved partition, the original Win7 partition is probably not bootable either, is it?Deetoo wrote:Hi - I want to be able to boot between 2 copies of Win7.

Make it easy for your self. Delete the Win7 copy. Remove the SRP...

Copy the Win7 partition. Set up a new boot item in BIBM.

Bob C: Yes it does boot. BIBM seems to boot the SRP which boots Win7.
Brian K: Thanks, yes I can see that's the best route to take.
