    text
    copied!<p>WI created a "Windows 8 to go" drive and attached it (to a SATA port) on to a windows 7 laptop (instead of CD drive). I'd like to modify the Windows 7 boot configuration (<code>bcdedit</code>) to boot Windows 8 from the another drive. I tried to create a new entry in <code>bcdedit</code>, but it keep loads windows recovery. I created a copy of current and set <code>device</code> and <code>osdevice</code> to <code>partition=E:</code>. </p> <p><strong>The question is</strong>: How to create the right boot entry?</p> <pre><code>C:\Windows\system32&gt;bcdedit Windows Boot Manager -------------------- identifier {bootmgr} device partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume2 path \bootmgr description Windows Boot Manager locale en-US inherit {globalsettings} default {current} resumeobject {c71c7fc9-e003-11e1-b23d-5c260a473966} displayorder {current} {c71c7fce-e003-11e1-b23d-5c260a473966} toolsdisplayorder {memdiag} timeout 30 Windows Boot Loader ------------------- identifier {current} device partition=C: path \Windows\system32\winload.exe description Windows 7 locale en-US inherit {bootloadersettings} recoverysequence {c71c7fcb-e003-11e1-b23d-5c260a473966} recoveryenabled Yes osdevice partition=C: systemroot \Windows resumeobject {c71c7fc9-e003-11e1-b23d-5c260a473966} nx OptIn Windows Boot Loader ------------------- identifier {c71c7fce-e003-11e1-b23d-5c260a473966} device partition=E: path \Windows\system32\winload.exe description Windows 8 locale en-US inherit {bootloadersettings} recoverysequence {c71c7fcb-e003-11e1-b23d-5c260a473966} recoveryenabled Yes osdevice partition=E: systemroot \Windows resumeobject {c71c7fc9-e003-11e1-b23d-5c260a473966} nx OptIn </code></pre> <p>ps.: I doesn't have access to the bios, so I can't boot it directly.</p> <p>Thanks in advance</p>
