@Aryan I am going to ask a very stupid question, why, because I can. is this a way that you can temporarly boot from a thumb drive if you wanted too? also do you know if this works for all bios's, or how does this work? ok, that is more like two questions. smile.
@JamminJerry I think it works for all bios at least all the uefi once. As for the drive question, it may or may not show up but if it does, you can just dragg it to the top, and when you reboot with a drive plugd in, it will boot from that
@Aryan well I did download it so I planned on checking it out, but just thought I would ask some questions as I didn't see this info on the github page. smile.
@JamminJerry @Aryan so for some reason, when I load this, i see this, twice. Windows Boot Manager - \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi 1 of 4 and Windows Boot Manager - \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi 3 of 4 and I presume, this is for booting from the hard disk, Internal Hard Disk or Solid State Disk 4 of 4. but i'm not sure what I'd use ot boot from USB, I presume EFI USB Device 2 of 4 would boot from USB media?
@munchkinbear @JamminJerry their should be an UEFI:Removable Device option. Though for somee reason windows sometimes doesn't show it to bcd in which case sometimes plugging a drive helps to get the entry. Also i think your boot manager is duplicated or something. or do you have diffrent versions of windows installed?
@Aryan @JamminJerry the closest I get to removeable media is EFI USB Device.
@munchkinbear @JamminJerry i'm not sure about that one, this app just gives you whatever the bcd givs it. but it could be that
@Aryan @JamminJerry I've got a thumb drive with a bootable image on it, I'll play with it later. I should really try and sleep. :-)
