Rescue CD's, Recovery Console, GRUB
Hi,
I would be very happy if it would be possible to add "recovery console" or "MiniPE like installation entries using VistaBootPRo.
The problem is, VBP does not let you give a "boot sector" or boot loader, but only lets you to select a Drive Letter.
Think of "bootpart" as an example tool which lets you add any boot sector into your boot.ini and let's you use the NTLDR to boot Linux.
In my example, I have Recovery Console and MiniPE HDD install on my disk. MiniPE is on a seperate partition, Recovery Console is on the same partition as XP. The only way I know currently to add them to Vista Boot Loader is to have them ready in boot.ini, then Setup Vista. Vista recognizes them and adds them to the boot menu. I'm sure it's also possible to add them using BCDedit, but I'm too lazy to learn it at the moment.
Best regards,
Fast
I would like to see a different colour for each entry in the bootup screen if this is possible?
Also I would like to be able to list all the boot options by name instead of 'earlier windows' - or whatever it says now...
I currently have a quad boot system - Win98SE, WinXP Pro, Vista32 and Vista64 - all working fine.
I found VBP looking for something to edit the boot text as I had vista listed twice with nothing to diffferentiate 32 and 64 bit installs
So all sorted now - excellent product & easy to use - Thanks.

It would be great if it had multilingual capability IMO.
You'd just have to transfer all the written text in the app into an English language folder, and modify the app so that it accessed these language files instead of hardwiring the text into the software itself.
Then if you could find people to translate the text files, it could be a multilingual app that would have far more international appeal than at present

triple boot
I'm new here so forgive me if this has already been addressed. Currently I dual-boot XP Pro (on primary h/d, hda1) and linux (on secondary h/d, hda2). I have an open partition on hda1 and I'd like to try Vista RC1 in a triple boot scenario but I'm unwilling to screw up my linux boot setup. Can VistaBoot 3.1 handle this setup ? If so, I'd be glad to try it, and if not, then that's what I'd like to see it do.
If someone could point me in the right direction I sure would appreciate it !

Hi linux guy and welcome to PROnetworks. VistaBootPRO 3.1 can only work with the Vista bootloader and earlier versions of Windows. We haven't yet got around to adding support for Linux although we have had a lot of requests to do so
Here is a guide on dual booting Vista with Linux and hopefully that will give you some useful info to work with.

New feature...
I would like to be able to just edit the fields in the main window and save the entries in the format they need to be in. Instead of it being generated.

leonard.durden,
Welcome to PROnetworks and thanks for your interest in VistaBootPRO.
We originally made the layout to make it easier for the user to understand different aspects of the new BCD Store. However, I have to agree with you on this point. I think that it would be very nice to be able to make changes within the main screen. Items that would be able to be changed would be default OS, Display Order, and renaming of OS's. If this is what you were talking about then please let us know. We are always open to suggestions and making it easier on the user to maintain there system.
Thanks again,
Jason
