BOOT_MANAGER -- SBM v3.7.x : 2 Win-7 Partitions

Hi Everyone:


I need help with setting up SMART_BOOT_MANAGER (SBM 3.7.1) with 2 Windows 7 partitions. Both partition of WIN-7 are fully independent installations.


I am currently using SBM371 with WIN-7/32 where I have multiple FAT32 partitions and multiple NTFS ( * SEE Attachment JPG )


To get \SBM371 installed and doing what I wanted it to do, it was necessary to FIRST load Windows on the clean HD, thereafter, I could reduce the size of the NTFS WIN-7 partition by, example 50Gb so I could accomodate a DOS FAT32 partition + DOS Logical drives, and after I made a Primary bootable DOS partition, the LAST STEP was to install |SBM371 ***AFTER*** everything else was done, so I have dual boot system.


BUT, I never tried having 2 NTFS WIN-7 partitions on same HD at same time. There is a valid and sane reason for doing this! *Smile

I installed two (2) Win-7 on a 500Gb HD , then following my own advice, but does not work like with a 1 only Win-7 and several DOS FAT32 partitions. Windows own Boot Manager comes up, ok that is fine, but I need the option to start a DOS session as well. . . so the DOS start-up option must be visiable as well, which it is not at the moment.

. . . . . maybe is there a way to edit the Win-7 startup multi-boot startup config?

Or else, how to get SBM371 to properly start any of the startable partitions ??


Thanks.

 

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

 

Vista Beta 2 Installed

Well first I defragged the drive, then go into partition magic and select "create a new partition" and make sure it is "after c:"

Then click the rest of the way through the menus, and in the lower left there is a list of pending activites and click "apply" and you will have to restart and before windows boots partition magic does its thing.
