Hello, I am trying to dual boot an unencrypted windows 7 installation and an encrypted windows 7 installation on one hard drive. I have been looking everywhere but everything is either too old or for dual booting Linux and w7. Any instructions? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, fjawor
Windows 7 boot manager and "\boot" folder must reside on a primary unencrypted partition (which is also marked active). This is one of the reasons Windows 7 installation to an empty disk creates the "System Reserved" 100MB partition (primary, active). The installation of the second Windows 7 will add itself automatically to boot config data (BCD) store and you will have a dual-boot choice at startup. If you need a complete GUI BCD editor (with dual boot repair) - go to "boyans dot net".
