Chances are you're here because you're running Windows 7 or Windows Vista and want to do one of two things. Install a second operating systems or manage your boot configuration without directly editing the BCDEdit file. As you likely now realize, Windows 7 or Windows Vista has made this task somewhat complicated for most users.
Windows 7 or Windows Vista brought a big number of changes, including a new startup process. The Windows 7 or Windows Vista boot manager is pretty different compared to the one in Windows XP, therefore managing your boot configuration is more complicated. Fortunately for us, the "PROnetworks" team developed VistaBootPRO - a tool that allows users to manage their boot configuration without getting their hands dirty with the technical stuff.
VistaBootPRO was developed to make changes to the Windows 7 or Windows Vista Boot Configuration Data (BCD) registry quickly and easily, doing the job in a fraction of the time it would take using the alternative. The only other way to edit the BCD is to use the command prompt application "bcdedit.exe", located in the Windowssystem32 folder of Windows 7 or Windows Vista, which requires users to become familiar with the ins and outs of the bcdedit.exe switches and options, leaving many frustrated users in its path. VistaBootPRO allows users to easily and neatly organize their boot configuration entries from within all flavors of Windows.
Designed for both beginners and advanced users, VistaBootPRO can be used for to make "cosmetic" changes to the Windows 7 or Windows Vista boot menu such as changing the name of the operating systems shown in the boot menu and make advanced "functional" changes like adding an operating system to the boot menu and repairing the Windows 7 or Windows Vista boot configuration data. Advanced settings include backing up and exporting your boot loader configuration and modifying various details for the entries. This new design provides the foundation for a variety of new features in Windows 7 or Windows Vista (for example, the startup repair tool and multi-user install shortcuts).
VistaBootPRO will guide you through the process to reach your desired results:
Install a second OS or manage your boot configuration
Never have to directly edit the BCDEdit file
Back up all your boot information (BCD store) before editing
Change the order of the boot menu that appears when your PC starts
