Hey all,
For Vista (which doesn't use boot.ini anymore) how would I go about adding the option "/usepmtimer" to the default operating system just like you could do with boot.ini in XP and earlier?
After much Googling, I found that the build in command line tool bcdedit is the way to go for editing what used to be boot.ini, but it's very hard to get used to so I was wondering if anyone knew what command would be used to add "/usepmtimer" to the default OS just like you could do by editing boot.ini
For example, in XP (which uses boot.ini) you could have something like this:
Code:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /usepmtimer
... notice the /usepmtimer on the operating system. I want to do exactly this in Vista, but I'm not sure what command to use with the bcdedit command line tool.
This is basically to fix a timing issue with AMD dual core processors. AMD's automatic fix was written for XP and earlier, so it will not work. They have not updated it since.
Thanks!
