bcdedit - boot.ini

[Guest me]

All,

 

I'm exploring window 2008 and am getting to grips with bcdedit, one

thing I have noticed is that on the old boot.ini an entrey points to the

hardware not the windows drive letter i.e.

 

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS

 

Under bcdedit

a boot menu option only lists a osdevice or device as C:

 

How can I find out what physical device in my system C: is refering too ?

 

I ask this as in a DR we recover servers to new hardware and the Os

drive (C:) can be on partition 1 / 2 /3 and we could easily edit the

boot.ini to reflect this.

 

Can anyone help

 

Cheers

 

Paul

I've found reference to fixntfs.exe, but it does not exist under \boot,
