Adjust Windows Vista's boot process
EasyBCD gives complete control over the Windows Vista boot menu
Running more than one operating system on a computer can give you the best of both worlds, but Windows does not always want to co-operate. EasyBCD is a clever utility that makes it easy to set up the boot menu just how you want it, and can even be used to book from CD images and make bootable USB memory keys.
Installation is simple and the interface is well designed. It is easy to change the default operating system and how long the menu shows before it selects the default option.
The iReboot utility sits in the Notification Area and lets you select which operating system to use when the computer is restarted. We know from experience that it is easy to miss the boot menu and have to start the process all over again.
One use for this software is for installing Windows XP on a computer with Windows Vista. EasyBCD can be used to add Windows XP to the Vista boot menu.
It supports other operating systems and so can be used to dual-boot Vista with Linux as well.
