Download EasyBCD For Windows 7
Posted September 14, 2009 – 4:28 pm in: Freeware, Windows 7Many of the Windows enthusiasts have already installed Windows 7 in dual boot with XP or Vista and some of them have even installed Windows 7, Vista, and the good old XP in triple boot.
After installing Windows 7 with Vista or XP, many users might want to change the boot settings. Although one can find basic boot configuration settings in Windows 7’s System Configuration utility (type msconfig in start menu & hit enter to launch it), many users might want to edit the OS name in boot menu, or add/remove an OS entry and more.
Since playing with Windows 7 bootloader is not an easy task and also not recommended, we have a cool tool to share with you that enables you edit Windows 7 boot settings easily.
EasyBCD is a free utility using which one can edit and play with Windows 7 boot settings in a few seconds. This easy-to-use tool lets you view bootloader settings, change boot settings, add/remove OS entries in bootloader, reinstall or uninstall bootloader, backup/restore boot settings and more.
Diagnostics section of EasyBCD helps you find your Windows 7 boot problems either by recreating missing/deleted boot files or by resetting BCD storage. It can also check your boot drive for corruption, and copy debug info to clipboard.

EasyBCD 1.7.2 doesn’t properly support Windows 7. Also it doesn’t support vhd entries yet either on 2.0 Beta build 63. At least not on my test VM where I tested that.
Thanks Robert for the input. But in our test, EasyBCD 1.7.2 worked fine with all the assigned tasks. I am not sure about on VM, though.
BCD Edit doesn’t support 7 and is not updated since April 2008. But it worked on Windows 7 when I tried it.
Sorry, it’s EasyBCD
You are right, Mayur. It’s not supported officially, but works fine on Windows 7.
Can easy BCD support both x86 and x64 windows 7 on the same HDD with different partitions? How?
@ Zaid
It supports both x86 and x64.
Thank you for prompt reply; I’ve also found the EasyBCD 2.0 Beta forum.
Thanks & regards,
EasyBCD doesn’t support windows 7 64bit and Ubuntu 9.10 64bit. As Ubuntu now has Grub2 (grub-pc).
Can you give some guidance, if I’m wrong.
Thanks!
@Jas
It does work on Windows 7 64-bit. If you have problems with the current version (which was designed for Vista), you can download the latest beta version for Windows 7 from the EasyBCD forums (check the download link, requires free registration). Having said that, the current version of Easy BCD working fine on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
Yes, I can confirmed that the latest beta do work fine on both Windows x86 and x64; but how do you auto hide the other partition (B) if you boot into say, partiton A and hide partition A when booting into partition B.
Thanks & regards,
@ Zaid
I can’t think of a way to automatically hide a partition while booting into other. You can do it manually.
Can you put the autohide partition in the next release, please?
Thanks & regards
Hi Guys,
I’m the Director of NeoSmart Technologies and the developer of EasyBCD. First, thanks to “Inside Windows” for this post.
You can auto-hide partitions w/ EasyBCD 2.0 using the NeoGrub module. Just add a NeoGrub entry in EasyBCD, then configure its menu.lst to hide partition x then chainload the bootloader.
Cheers!
I am currently running XP Home, Vista (64bit) and used Easy BCD when I set up the dual-boot some time ago, which works fine. I now additionally want to add Windows 7 (32bit). Can I use EasyBCD to include this addition so that I have a triple-boot system? If so, do I go through the same procedure as before for dual-boot?
Thanks – John Downes
@ John
You needn’t use EasyBCD to install and setup Windows 7 triple boot XP, Vista and 7 as you already have installed XP and Vista. Just install Windows 7 and it will automatically setup the boot order.
