How can I set the location of the BCD system store for bcdedit

Solution 1:

Edit: this does not solve the original user's dual-boot issue. But this page was one of the first Google hits for my bcd-not-found issue, so others may find it useful if they're simply trying to fix their BCDedit behavior.

It appears that bcdedit, by default, attempts to load the BCD store from the active partition. You can use diskpart to modify which partition is active.

So I'd do diskpart like: diskpart list disk select <your disk number> list partition select <partition number that includes your boot/BCD file> active exit bcdedit Hopefully that last bcdedit will find your BCD store.
