Hi

 

After putting the DVD of Windows 10 in a DVD player and executing the command

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32>bcdedit /store "D:\boot\bcd"
Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier              {bootmgr}

I noticed that the values of the osdevice and device elements end with an alphanumeric object.

 

What is this object? There is an alias for this object?

 

Thanks

Its the identifier of the {ramdiskoptions} object

[paraglider]

You should always use {ramdiskoptions} when refererring to the object via bcdedit. The guid changes for every bcd store.

So, can you explain one thing:

 

I copied the contents of the DVD on my hard disk and then I wrote the following commands:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>bcdedit /store "C:\Users\Balubeto\Downloads\DVD\boot\bcd"

Why, in the final output, the ramdiskoptions alias is not converted into its alphanumeric code as it is done in the initial output?

 

Thanks

What is this object?

It's a Setup Ramdisk Option.
List more details: bcdedit /store bcd /enum all
and: bcdedit /store bcd /enum all /v

.

There is an alias for this object?

No, bcdedit dosn't know a relating alias.

{ramdiskoptions} matches GUID {ae5534e0-a924-466c-b836-758539a3ee3a}.

The OS manufacturer ignores OS manufacturer {ramdiskoptions} alias.

By chance, this is an internal alias for the "Device options" object?

 

Its alphanumeric string is fixed or changes each boot or any device used? If it changes, what should I put in the osdevice and device elements to avoid boot problems?

 

Thanks

[cdob]

Its alphanumeric string is fixed

{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f} is fixed since Vista \boot\bcd DVD.
The OS manufacturer uses a broken design ignoring {ramdiskoptions}.
Yes, you may use {7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f}, it's fixed.
