Use BootManager to enable both Vista and Linux

Article Title: Use BootManager to enable both Vista and Linux. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Some basic categories, such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open-source systems, can implement dual-boot of Windows and Linux by installing Grub on hard disk MBR. Grub has been used for a long time, but Grub has a disadvantage (in fact, it is a disadvantage of Windows) that Grub will be overwritten every time you reinstall Windows. The restoration of Grub requires a good Linux installation CD (such as Debian) or a system repair CD with Grub.
　
In fact, Windows Boot Manager can also start Linux. First, you need to install Grub on a specific Linux partition (instead of a hard disk MBR). Generally, Grub will have this option during installation. You can also manually Mount Grub to a Linux partition. If your linux partition is/dev/hda2, that is, in Grub (hd0, 0 ):
　
# Grub
　
Grub> setup (hd0, 1)
　
......
　
Then read the 512 bytes header of/dev/hda2 and write it to the file linux. boot (the file name can be obtained as needed ).
　
# Dd if =/dev/hda2 of = linux. boot bs = 512 count = 1 and then try to put linux. boot is transferred to a windows partition. It is difficult to write NTFS partitions. A reasonable method is to copy the data to another machine on the network in Linux, or copy the data to a USB flash disk, and then copy the data back to Windows. Assume that linux. boot is copied to C: \ linux. boot.
　
For Windows XP, the next dual-start setting is simple. You can directly edit the C: \ boot. ini file and add the following content:
　
Linux. boot = "Linux"
　
After restarting, you can see the Linux option. The Grub menu appears. However, the configuration of Vista Boot Manager is not that simple. First, run
　
Bcdedit/enum all | find "{ntldr}" If identifier {ntldr} is returned, solution B is used; otherwise, solution A is used. Solution:
　
Bcdedit/create {ntldr}/d "Linux"
　
Bcdedit/set {ntldr} device boot
　
Bcdedit/set {ntldr} path linux. bootbcdedit/displayorder {ntldr}/addlast
　
Solution B (modify the result returned by the First Command ):
　
C:> bcdedit/copy {ntldr}/d "Linux"
　
The entry was successfully copied to {bcfa924e-07e0-11db-9d86-accf6fd346a1 }.
　
C:> bcdedit/set {bcfa924e-07e0-11db-9d86-accf6fd346a1} device boot
　
The operation completed successfully.
　
C:> bcdedit/set {bcfa924e-07e0-11db-9d86-accf6fd346a1} path linux. boot
　
The operation completed successfully.
　
C:> bcdedit/displayorder {bcfa924e-07e0-11db-9d86-accf6fd346a1}/addlast
　
The operation completed successfully.
　
After the restart, you can see the Linux option on the Vista startup interface.
