Apart from possibly needing to add a drive letter, all system files are by default hidden from view, so you'll also need to change the Folder Settings to show hidden system files.
But , since the BCD file is kept open by the OS, you wouldn't be able to open it to look at it anyway! If you enter " bcdedit " at a simple Command Prompt window, you'll probably see:.
The following is what you would typically see when entering the command bcdedit all by itself:. Note that the Boot Manager program bootmgr is often located in a volume without a drive letter, such as in this example, but it could have one. If there were only one partition on the drive, then it would appear in the C: partition. And if there really was only one, then the word "control" should have had an 's' after it!
This was still true for a Windows 7 SP1 install we examined, and even Windows 8. Is this a case of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Apparently, the cost of qualifying a revised program outweighs this grammatical error. Now it's incorrect for both of the last two command types:. After examining this backup file in our Documents folder using HxD , our first reaction was: "Man, this thing appears to be full of all kinds of needless 'gunk'!
So, the 'backup copy' is not really a true copy. And the differences go well beyond simply changing the path name of its location. So why is this file so 'cluttered' compared to the Windows XP boot. Its first 4 bytes are a big clue: " regf ". DAT file begins with the same 4 bytes. To test this, we used a disk editor to alter the bytes at offsets 0x 1B8 through 0x 1BB in the MBR first sector of the disk drive by simply adding 1 to each byte.
In previous Windows versions, the OS would still boot up this way; even though there was the possibility some program that used the Disk Signature could then have problems. Note: The same error message, with Status: code of 0x ce , will also be displayed if we change those NT Sig.
This command deletes any existing entries in the system store before the import takes place. This option can be used with most BCDedit commands to specify the store to be used. If this option is not specified, then BCDEdit operates on the system store.
