Here is my dual boot renamed

that can be a dual boot operating system it would be the same

 

Yep that is what a dual boot screen looks like, not sure what you are trying to tell me here?

 

o i was talking to dstm one time and i explain to him aboute manual renamening of a second dual boot in dos bcedit and show him my windows 7 second boot its now called gijoetech1 recovery and it was not ment for you but for dstm or anyone interested

 

I follow now what you meant. gijoetech1.

 

no problem my pleasure (Dougie)

 

Yeah we were talking about this 2 weeks ago on Paltalk Chatroom.

 

Yep we were, just thought it needed an explanation due to being a vague post.

 

Perhaps I didn't explain my self properly on Paltalk on two occasions.
The issue my friend had was one OS didn't recognize the other.
You could get either to boot in boot options or Bios but not from the Boot Loader.
The Boot Loader showed 2 options
1. "Windows" but not "Windows 10" as it should have.
2. "Windows 7" which booted by default.
Renaming "Windows" to even "Mickey Mouse" would not boot in the bootloader when selected.

This is the closest to my friends problem I can find on the Net as an example.

All he wanted on Boot for the two options to show in the Bootloader set one OS as default and "Bobs your Uncle"
Problem was the "Windows" entry not "Windows10" would not boot and eventually booted Windows 7

I fixed my friends issue by the method TUT I sent to gijoetech1 by pm.

I asked first on Paltalk had any Techie come across this issue with Dual Boot.
I was looking for constructive feedback on Paltalk.

 

In that link you provided Dougie....what that boot scenerio is actually called is multi-boot, simply because of separate HDD's for each OS. The issue with this set and it's a big one.....when setting up a multi-boot the original HDD with OS has to be removed from the system (completely), then attach 2nd HDD and install 2nd OS...check it and then power down and re-attach 1st HDD. If not then the boot loader (MBR) is stored on the 1st HDD and that is where all the issues stem from. There are a few fixes out there using 3rd party tools to move the MBR which most of the time is works OK....but has been known to really dork up a system of both HDD's.

NOTE: I prefer a multi boot over a dual boot setup.....what ever OS I want to use I just reboot and use F12 to get to the boot menu before it loads the BIOS, select HDD with OS I want and off I go. Just really works for me.

 

I always called dual boot or triple boot regardless of whether on one HDD partitioned or separate HDD's
That's wrong technically.

I actually managed to use the Multi Boot system showing both OS's on Boot Loader screen.
My friend didn't want to go into Boot options first.
He is over the moon. It was a right mess before I started.
Sorry I wasn't clearer with my description. It was a dual boot initially and wouldn't work.
I told him to go buy another HDD a western digital Blue and I started fresh all over again.
Being in another state we used his wife's laptop with Skype and webcam so I could guide him step by step.
Yes Jimbo, only had one drive hooked up at a time. Fresh reinstall of Windows7 first, disconnected and installed
Windows 10 on the new HDD installing Windows 10 my way and all worked fine.
Powered down and hooked the Windows7 drive up and both OS's showed on the Windows Boot loader.
Made one the OS default.Works like a charm.
