Two Separate Drives and Win11 OS

[Brian K]

Fixboot.tbs should act on the ESP on the 8100. That's where the Microsoft.xxx are located. Do you mean fixboot.tbs created an ESP on the 860?

Is your 8100 Hard Drive 0 in BIU?

My ESP is on HD 0 in one computer and HD 4 in another computer. As seen in BIU.

When I ran fixboot.tbs, it rebuilt a new EFI on the 860, which I believe was about 512MB in size.
I’m not sure which post it was, but I mentioned it to PP. I feel like I’ve gotten too invested in this, and in the end, I’ll just run two extra drives, a scratch disk and a test disk.
Since the BIOS shows different sizes and brands, telling them apart won’t be an issue. What I thought would be simple turned into more of a struggle, at least for me So this time, I’ll stick with what’s worked for me This shouldn’t be so difficult, but for me, it is

Brian, I have to say, I got more help from you than I expected, and I’m grateful for that. I’ll keep in touch.
Thank you again.

If your ESP and Win11 are not on HD0 then my fixboot.tbs instructions on page 10 are incorrect. If your ESP and Win11 are on HD1 then follow this. My HD4 would be your HD1.

Sorry for the delayed reply, I got quite busy.
Thanks, Brian, for the screenshots. I’ll give it another try, I can’t seem to leave it alone, and sorry I’ll respond to your question soon, just short on time right now.

In the following screenshots Win11 and the ESP are on HD0. The copy is on HD1.
