From: randy on 10 Feb 2010 10:01 I just bought a new laptop with windows 7 home premium. first I loaded McAfee security. then I decreased the size of the hard drive by half in order to have 2. I made a clone of the original disk onto the 2nd partition for backup. with a plan to install all my stuff on the original with a backup of the virgin drive in case of emergency. all went well. I'm now trying to use bcdedit to add the second drive to the boot list, I backed bcd store, use create to create a new entry. but displaying whats in the store doesn't show. now I'm trying to find the guid for the 2nd partition so I can fix/workaround this. but don't know where to get this info, please help, I'm an experienced hardware software partion and have used bcdedit in the past, but I'm not up to speed with windows 7 yet.

From: Maxim S. Shatskih on 10 Feb 2010 10:15 Are you sure you need to make the second partition bootable? Then say "bcdedit /?", and it will tell you how to add a boot menu item. You do not specify the GUID for this, the GUID is created by bcdedit itself. -- Maxim S.
