In the MS article located here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927391, On
method 3 on step 9, it states:

Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
bcdedit -create {bootmgr} -d "Description"
Note Description represents the description for the new entry.

What is the new entry??????

Thanks in advanced

Hi,

"Description" can be whatever you want. The default entry during install is
"Microsoft Windows Vista"

Hi, I'm running into a similar issue on that particular step as well.
Every time I try to put a "description" into that command line it comes
up saying the following:

"An error occurred while attempting the specified create operation.
The specified entry already exists."

I've tried several different things as the "description" and nothing
seems to work.
I am at a loss as to what to do

Please HELP
Thanks
