title: Create boot entry in bcdedit for Windows 8 to go
body: <p>WI created a "Windows 8 to go" drive and attached it (to a SATA port) on to a windows 7 laptop (instead of CD drive). I'd like to modify the Windows 7 boot configuration (<code>bcdedit</code>) to boot Windows 8 from the another drive. I tried to create a new entry in <code>bcdedit</code>, but it keep loads windows recovery. I created a copy of current and set <code>device</code> and <code>osdevice</code> to <code>partition=E:</code>.  </p>
  
  <p><strong>The question is</strong>: How to create the right boot entry?</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Windows\system32&gt;bcdedit
