Hi, similar way. If it’s the boot.ini file you will just delete it from there. If it’s bcdedit, you will use
bcdedit /delete {id}
in that case id will be the new entry id. You could get the id of anything by just listing the entries with
bcdedit /enum all /v

Hope this helps.

[...] Use Windows Boot Manager to boot to Linux This goes back to the fact that Windows does not play nice with others – and the fact that I seem to have a non-booting somthing under GRUB rather frequently. During the Ubuntu setup, there is a point where you are asked to confirm the details of your installation – and an “Advanced” button. THis button gives you an option to install GRUB somewhere other than the MBR – so, as I had just specified Linux be installed on SDA1, I used (hd0,0) for GRUB – specifying a partition, not a disk. Windows Boot Manager is pointed to that disk, and you have a solution that keeps getting you into windows no matter how many times you “broke” Linux. [...]

I lied, that didn’t work.

You needed to change two things.

bcdedit /set {ID} device Partation=c:

and

bcdedit /set {ID} PATH \linux2.b

My dump looks like this now.

Real-mode Boot Sector
———————
identifier {27385c40-b336-11dc-a4e7-9b7501ef3253}
device partition=C:
path \linux2.b

I sure miss boot.ini. Microsoft can’t write a parser anymore? Such crap.

It should look something like this.

C:\Users\Falcon>bcdedit /create /d "Linux" /application BOOTSECTOR

The entry {27385c40-b336-11dc-a4e7-9b7501ef3253} was successfully created.

C:\Users\Falcon>bcdedit /set {27385c40-b336-11dc-a4e7-9b7501ef3253} device boot
The operation completed successfully.

C:\Users\Falcon>bcdedit /set {27385c40-b336-11dc-a4e7-9b7501ef3253} PATH c:\linu x2.b
The operation completed successfully.

C:\Users\Falcon>bcdedit /displayorder {27385c40-b336-11dc-a4e7-9b7501ef3253} /ad dlast
The operation completed successfully.

C:\Users\Falcon>bcdedit /timeout 5
The operation completed successfully.

run bcdedit one more time to check if it was entered.
C:\Users\Falcon>bcdedit

You should get something like this.
