Changing the BOOTMGR location

BOOTMGR is the fie which boots windows. Normally it is installed to your first hard-drive. So there can be instances where you install your new Windows into newly bought hard-disk, but without your old hard disk you can’t boot your computer. To check whether this is your case, just go to BIOS and disable the hard you think you don’t have windows installed on and try to boot. If it gets booted then no problem, else you can do this easy fix.

Actually this is very easy fix since a software will take care of all the trouble. You just need to download EasyBCD which is luckily a freeware but a very valuable software. After installing it you can do the following,

  1. Click on BCD Backup Repair         
  2. Select Change Location
  3. Select the new partition.
  4. Click ok.

After this simple process, you are good to go!!!

Thank you.
