Other reasons to dual-boot might include replication of a client environment.<\/p>\n<p>Windows handles dual-booting by using boot.ini to display a menu of bootable choices or partitions found on the current system. In Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, the bootloader was moved from boot.ini to a utility called BCDEdit.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, we\u00a0decided we\u00a0could make better use of some disk space that we\u00a0had set aside to create a bootable VHD for Windows Server 2008 R2. There was no data other than the OS installation contained within the file because we\u00a0had used it only to prepare a blog post about booting from Virtual Hard Disks. To free up the space, we\u00a0deleted the VHD.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Always make sure to back up any data that you want to keep before deleting or modifying partitions on VHDs. Your changes could make the partition unbootable.<\/p>\n<p>Once we\u00a0had the VHD removed, we\u00a0thought Windows would be smart enough to clean up the boot loader, but we\u00a0were not so lucky. We\u00a0had Windows 7 set as the primary OS, so we\u00a0were not without a system.<\/p>\n<p>We started looking around for boot.ini and was directed toward the Boot Configuration Data Editor (BCDEdit) as the utility to use when editing boot loader information in Windows 7 (and in Vista too).<\/p>\n<p>To begin, open the Start menu, select All Programs, and then choose Accessories. Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run As Administrator. Once in the command window, type <em>bcdedit. <\/em>This will return the current running configuration of your boot loader, showing any and all items that can boot on this system.<\/p>\n<p>In this example, we\u00a0decided to remove the entry for my Windows 2008 R2 installation, as we\u00a0wouldn&#8217;t need it for the time being. To remove an entry, you will need to know the Boot Loader Identifier (found in curly braces in <strong>Figure A<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Figure A<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10778\" src=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/bcdedit_a.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/bcdedit_a.png 550w, https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/bcdedit_a-300x101.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">we\u00a0copied the whole list into Notepad and then selected and copied just the ID, braces included.<\/p>\n<h2>Removing an entry from the Boot Loader<\/h2>\n<p>One simple command got the Windows Server 2008 R2 entry out of the boot loader. At the command prompt, enter the following:<\/p>\n<p><em>Bcdedit \/delete {boot loader identifier}<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Press Enter, and the Boot Configuration Data Editor (BCDEdit) will remove the entry for the ID you specified and display a message when finished. When Windows starts, the only choice available in the boot menu should be the current Windows installation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Warning<\/strong>: Be careful when editing the boot configuration data. If you mistakenly remove the current instance of Windows, you may render your computer unbootable.<\/p>\n<h4>Have questions?<\/h4>\n<p>Get answers\u00a0from\u00a0Microsofts Cloud Solutions Partner!<br \/>\nCall us at:\u00a0856-745-9990 or visit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"South Jersey Techies Website\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">South Jersey Techies, LL C<\/a>\u00a0is a full\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies Managed Services\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Managed Web and Technology Services Company<\/a>\u00a0providing\u00a0IT Services,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Web Design\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/website_design.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Website Design Services<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Server Support\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/server_install.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Server Support<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Network Consulting\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/network_consulting.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Network Consulting<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Internet Phones\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/voip.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Internet Phones<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Cloud Solutions Provider\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/cloud.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cloud Solutions Provider<\/a>\u00a0and much more.<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Contact\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/contact.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0Contact for More<\/a>\u00a0Information.<\/p>\n<p>To read this article in its entirety\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210511013632\/https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/blog\/data-center\/modifying-the-windows-7-boot-loader-with-the-boot-configuration-data-editor-tool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, the bootloader was moved from boot.ini to a utility called BCDEdit.
