Yep I actually tried with EasyBCD but it was buggy it did not manage to create any boot menus at all ? , it did not show any entries at all in the basic meny but they showed in advanced. It could however not save any functioning boot meny ? it just failed warning me that the machine wont boot :) wonder if it understands UEFI or EFI boot whatever that is ? there is a special bootloader partition on my machine I think ? Not my idea it is actually what my Win 7 home premium installer DVD did by default ? Now I'm at the other end of the bell curve, my old pc was a heap of old junk this is the newest everything . I'll bet you can get issues either way :~ It begun with that the Mint installer did not see my win drive at all and thus never sugesting to install alongside windows . And os-proper can not see the windows drive either . I actually created a bug in Mint's bug tracker and gave them a bunch of files including a bootinfoscript output . Well if the ambition to be THE desktop distro ,things like this must run smother ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94916 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
