cdusseau Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I am pxe booting to start my windows 7 network install. I know how I can set it up for it to work with one type of windows 7, but I want to split it into a folder system to allow me to install all different versions. This means I need to move where the system is searching for the BCD file.Currently it looks in \Boot\BCD, which, when its there, works fine. But I need to host several different BCDs, so I have to change the path. I need to know what file directs the install to \Boot\BCD and how I can change it (like with a sed command).Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
