Reviewed by: CNET Staff
It's small, free, powerful, and flexible, and advanced users will get a jewel in this handy system boot tool. EasyBCD's crisp, clean, and logical interface presents everything you need to create a multi-OS boot system. Once the additional operating systems are installed, this utility makes it very easy to manage booting into an alternate OS.
Most text windows are easy to read, though users are expected to have the knowledge to understand the information displayed. Almost all configurations are easily set from simple pull-down menus. The occasional button toggle is used, but neither type offers tool tips. You should read the extensive online documentation before installing this utility.
As simple as it is to use, EasyBCD is flexible enough for most users. You can manage booting into Windows, Linux, Mac, or many other operating systems. A diagnostic center and numerous utilities are included that help you find and fix boot problems. The only downside is that not every tool is as well documented as EasyBCD. Simply put, EasyBCD is a must-have tool if you create a multiboot system.
Publisher's description
From NeoSmart Technologies :EasyBCD is a powerful bootloader modification tool created to give end users complete control over everything that happens while Windows Vista starts up. It has the ability to set up multi- and dual-boot profiles for Windows Vista + Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, and many more operating systems. With EasyBCD, users can quickly and easily get other operating systems up and running with Windows Vista with minimal pain and effort. EasyBCD makes backing up and recovering your bootloader settings, disabling x64 driver verification, debugging the boot process, creating multiple boot profiles, and a lot more a snap - just, point, click, and watch as your bootloader automagically does stuff that would take days otherwise. Version 1.7.1 fixes bugs and improves performance.

Version: EasyBCD 1.7.1
Pros: Free and easy to use. Perfect for my use (XP & Vista dual-boot with Vista installed first). Works with most other OS's as well, so they claim. I highly recommend EasyBCD.

Version: EasyBCD 1.7.1
Pros: this file is 874KB and will literally save you the headache of editing/modifying the windows vista boot menu; however those choosing to put their tech-savviness to the test via the command line are always free to do so! :-)
