Re: reassigning boot drives
have a look at the EFI tool bcfg
or
create a new boot option using the boot config menu and delete the old entry.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: reassigning boot drives
I have tried to add the boot option using the EFI menu as well as bcfg.
The string I need to add tp Cell 0 as a boot option is:
01. HD(Part1,SigD0BCB3F4-F8FD-11DB-8AA0-000000000000)/\efi\microsoft\winnt50\ia6
4ldr.efi "Windows Server 2003, Datacenter" OPT
Using bcfg it gives me an error about paths
Using the EFI menu it wont let me enter the whole string.
Ideas? Tutorial?
Thanx
Jim

Re: reassigning boot drives
It wont let me modify the OSLOADER paths!
Select> m
Enter OS boot option to modify: 5
1. LoadIdentifier = Cell 0 Windows Server 2003
2. OsLoadOptions = /REDIRECT /NOEXECUTE=OPTOUT
3. EfiOsLoaderFilePath = 189f4818-28b0-11db-b1e2-000000000000 :: \efi\microsoft\
winnt50\ia64ldr.efi
4. OsLoaderFilePath = 1c32c16c-28b0-11db-b1e2-000000000000 :: \windows
Enter var to modify: 3
This field currently not modifiable
Press enter to continue
How do I make it let go?!?
This is such a PITA.
All I want to do is point it to the correct boot drive!
