| How to change the boot menu text in Vista, if you are dual-booting Vista & Vista. |
| If you set up a dual-boot system using Vista Home Premium and say, Vista Business, the menu text will be the same for each: viz Microsoft Windows Vista. |
| |
| You will therefore be unable to tell which is which, since by default, setup will add the generic entry: “Microsoft Windows Vista” for each installation of Vista, irrespective of the version. |
| |
| So, to make the boot menu text more clear, you can take the following steps: |
| |
| Start your machine, on which you have installed the two versions of Vista. |
| |
| Choose either of the 2 entries from the boot menu. |
| |
| After the computer startup is completed, make a note of which installation is running. |
| |
| Lets say you chose the first option, and the installation you found running to be was Home Premium. |
| |
| Then type "cmd" in Vista's Start Menu Search Box and hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter to open an elevated Command Prompt window. Click Ok to the UAC prompt. |
| |
Type : bcdedit /set description “Windows Vista Home Premium”
Do include the quotation marks. |
| |
| Hit Enter. |
|
| Restart your computer and you will see that the menu description you entered now appears. |
| |
| Now select the other menu option and repeat the same procedure as mentioned above using instead the Text, now, as “Windows Vista Business” |
| |
| Hit Enter. |
|
| Reboot. |
