BCDEDIT Command execution error in WinPE environment for Windows 2008

[Ratankumar]

Hi,

I'm trying to execute the following command:

BCDEDIT.EXE /store ""E:\Boot\BCD"" /set {default} device partition=C:

OR

BCDEDIT.EXE /store ""E:\Boot\BCD"" /set {default} device partition=C:

I get this error message:

An error has occured setting the element data.

The request is not supported.

Here,

1. 'C': and 'E:' drives are dynamic partitions of size 40 GB and 100 MB respectively....

2. command executed in WinPe environment to restore Windows 2008 Server - R2

3. 'C:' drive contains system root (Windows\system32\)

4. 'E:' is created at the time of W2K8 R2 installation by installer, where boot information is kept (e.g Boot, BootMgr, BOOTSECT.BAK etc.)

5. The above command works fine when both partitions are Primary Partitions...

I want to execute it when partitions are Dynamic Partitions...

Can you tell me what is the solution...?

Thanks,

On computers that are running the Intel x86 line of CPU processors and later versions, the system volume must be a primary volume that is marked as active. This requirement can be fulfilled on any drive on the computer that the system BIOS searches when the operating system starts.

The system volume can be the same volume as the boot volume. However, this configuration is not required.
