Installed Win 7 Professional on a machine with several disks.
Wants to dual boot, Linux so I created
a 120 GB System partition for Windows OS
a 500 GB partition for Windows Data (Users directory etc.)
a 100 GB Swap partition for pagefile.sys (will have 96 GB RAM)
The remainder of the 2 TB disk was left uninitialized.
After installing a lot of additional S/W, I turned to Linux,
and found that there was a 100 MB partition in the beginning
of my intended Linux System Disk, containing the Win 7 Boot.
Linux would not let me add additional partitions without deleting the 100 MB partition and Windows won't boot without it of course.
Found Visual BCD Edit, downloaded 0.9.3.0, and followed the instructions in
http://www.boyans.net/MoveWindows7BootFilesToAnotherDrive.html
Disconnected my Linux disk, and yes, the system woudl boot,
but does not display the normal Windows Logo,
only a progress indicator.
Have tried to reapir the startup using my Windows DVD, but
this does not help.
My bcdedit configuration is:
C:\windows\system32>bcdedit

In msconfig, all the checkboxes are unchecked.
Have a feeling that Visual BCD edit writes the wrong file,
