Hi Guys,

 

Glad to finally be able to say that EasyBCD 2.0 final is here!

 

It's been a long road, but today we made the official release and we're getting some great feedback thus far. I hope the IM community will also enjoy 2.0, and continue to contribute ideas, suggestions, and feedback on EasyBCD.

The (most important) changes:

 

  • Complete Windows 7 support (including the pretty-boot screen!)
  • Total redesign of the user interface to make the stuff you use more often easier to get to and easier to understand
  • Automatic configuration and one-click setup of Windows XP dual-boots. No more mucking around w/ boot.ini and NTDETECT + NTLDR
  • Support for multiple top-level Windows XP entries. You no longer need to go through a second NTLDR menu no matter how many XPs you have installed!
  • Support for GRUB2 and ext4fs (we're looking at you, Ubuntu *glare*)
  • Boot from ISO images and Virtual Harddisk (vhd) files!
  • Create bootable USB drives!
  • Change the boot drive on your system (including all the partition management stuff) with one click!
  • Rewritten OS X support (yes, again *sigh*)
  • EasyBCD BIOS Extender to let you boot from network devices, specific hard disks, USBs, and more even if your BIOS doesn't support it (thanks to PLoP integration)
  • Support for multiple top-level GRLDR entries (in the same vein as XP entries above)
  • Improved boot device detection, EasyBCD always runs, even if your boot device is inaccessible or the BCD isn't installed!
  • Loading indicator for lengthy operations
  • Better support for loading and managing external BCD stores
  • Complete EasyBCD portability. Just tell the installer where to stick it, and you're set!
  • Improved high DPI support
  • Ability to create safe-mode entries
  • Improved MBR repair, BCD repair, and more!
