Hi Onno,
Vista uses a new bootloader mechanism. You can check out the application named BCDEdit or check in the internet for some tools for editing it.

Hi,
Is it possible to get the GPL PV drivers to work in Windows Server 2008? (or
Vista, which is probably the same from a kernel/driver point of view)
I installed the 0.8.1 drivers for 2003 in a 2008 DomU, and after some
complaints from Windows about them not being signed, they do seem to work
just fine when I add a new block or network device using xm
block-attach/network-attach.
However, with the new bootloader I can't pass the /GPLPV switch to the kernel
making it impossible to really use the drivers. Is there any other mechanism
to tell the drivers to activate, or does anyone know if it's possible to make
bcdedit/winload accept custom switches?
Onno
