    <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>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
