This is my configuration file:

LABEL vistape
MENU LABEL Windows 7 PE
KERNEL /BOOT/grub.exe
APPEND --config-file="find --set-root /VISTAPE.WIM;chainloader /BOOTMGR"
TEXT HELP
ENDTEXT

LABEL paragon
MENU LABEL Paragon Partition Manager
KERNEL /BOOT/grub.exe
APPEND --config-file="find --set-root /P/BOOT.WIM;chainloader /BOOTMGR"
TEXT HELP
ENDTEXT

I changed the WIM files so they are in different folders but each time I boot, both entries load VISTAPE.WIM and none of them load the second option, BOOT.WIM.

Is BOOTMGR hard coded for VISTAPE.WIM? I've never tried to run two distinct copies of VistaPE from one boot media before.

yes,
the '\boot\BCD' is "hard coded" for VISTAPE.WIM


should to edit the boot configuration data ('\boot\BCD')
have to add a new boot entry for the Paragon's BOOT.WIM using bcdedit.exe

maybe this article can help
