    I suggest you run the commands (fixboot and fixmbr) from your Windows DVD. Check out the following guide for more info on the same:

    I wasn’t paying attention and accidentally selected my C: drive (where Windows is installed) and his ‘Install BCD’. When it asked me if I wanted to automatically load the newly created BCD store, I said ‘no’ thinking that it would negate what I had done accidentally.

    But now Windows will not load. It gets me to a screen of the Windows Boot Manager that says there is no OS loaded in my BCD file (or something to that effect). Putting in the installation disk and using the repair option does not work. Is there something else I can do to fix this?

    this tool is perfect because I does the job in windows and doesnt format the partition! well i think its more reasonable to name it “BCD Deployment” because lots of times I connect a SATA hdd to my cmoputer to fix bcd issues!
    and for xp i think easybcd let you write the MBR and you have to put 3 files: ntdetect.com, ntldr and boot.ini (customized for your hdd) and its just for normal sata drives and for boot xp from usb you have to modify your os

    Yup. There are many free tools. We just wanted to show one more use of EasyBCD. Btw, the name of the tool that you mentioned is Windows 7 USB/DVD tool.

    Agree with you. Neosoft need to do something to make sure that the end user gets the full benefit of this tool. At least, they can provide a good How to use EasyBCD tool on their site.

    I have an old EEE netbook, with a bad drive. Can I use this to install Windows 7 on a flash drive? I want to use a USB flash drive for my hard drive. I know it won’t last very long, and it would be slow. I just want to get a few months out of it. I have tried to figure out how to do it, but so far no luck. Any advise would be appreciated.

    I fully agree that many users don’t know what this tool can do as Neosoft failed to label its functions in an understandable and ‘intuitive’ way. This tip is a good example: the button ‘Bootloader setup’ leads to the functionality ‘Create Bootable External Media’. Higly misleading and confusing…
