Hello,

What is a "WBM" partition?

Are you saying that you moved the Windows boot files out of your Windows partitions? Which specific files and folders did you move and did they come from standalone Windows installations with no separate boot and recovery partitions (except for the EFI partition with BIU)?

edit: added link to proper description

Windows Boot Manager

Not exactly. I moved the boot files in the efi partition to a new partition which I called WBM. The name can be wathever you want though.

I created said boot records using a script which is called fix boot. tbs if I remember correctly.

For my use case I do not have a Windows Recovery partition and I do not need it. I do have a custom Terabyte WinPE clone facility on a separate partition.

As for the exact files and locations I'll add those when o wake up tomorrow.
