Here is one additional note: the bcdedit command works on the file \Boot\BCD

on the ACTIVE partition. If the active partition is not the Win8 partition, then

bcdedit will give the error "....could not be opened" even if you are in an

Administrative cmd prompt. Reset the active partition to the win8 partition,

then boot win8 and bcdedit works as expected. For example, if you use

grub or other bootloader, you might not have the active partition be the win8

partition. Windows8 "repair" option on the win8 DVD also requires that

the partition to repair is the active partition. Good luck!

C:\Users\jack>bcdedit /enum /v

The boot configuration data store could not be opened.

Access is denied.

I get the same result as phanny. I run bcdedit form an elevated command prompt. I see the result "The entry was successfully copied to {[GUID}]." Unfortunately it never appears in msconfig.exe.

The Windows safe mode can be used with or without networking and it is commonly known as the place where you need to go if the PC is acting weird..<a href="windows8installation.com/">windows 8 Installation</a>
