Vista Boot Names

I installed Vista x86 and Vista x64. At the boot menu, I get two options:
Microsoft Windows Vista, OR
Microsoft Windows Vista.

I found this very annoying since I cannot differentiate which one is which.

To change this, I booted into one of them - then changed settings through "BCDEDIT".

To access this, go to start->start search and type "cmd" for command console.

BCDEDIT will show up with a listing of each operating system and a common boot configuration listing.

Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier {bootmgr}
device partition=C:
description Windows Boot Manager
locale en-US
inherit {globalsettings}
default {current}
resumeobject {7da86592-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}
displayorder {current}
{71a18689-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}
toolsdisplayorder {memdiag}
timeout 5

Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
identifier {current}
device partition=C:
path \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description Vista Premium 32-bit
locale en-US
inherit {bootloadersettings}
osdevice partition=C:
systemroot \Windows
resumeobject {7da86592-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}
nx OptIn
quietboot No

Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
identifier {71a18689-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}
device partition=F:
path \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description Vista Ultimate 64-bit
locale en-US
inherit {bootloadersettings}
osdevice partition=F:
systemroot \Windows
resumeobject {71a18689-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}
nx OptIn

To change the name of the operating system you are currently booted in, type this:
bcdedit /set {current} description "Vista Premium 32-bit"
SYNTAX:
bcdedit /set {identifier} description "name you choose"

You can type whatever you want instead of Vista Premium 32-bit.

You can also change the name of each other system. It may look like this:
{71a18689-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}

To change the display order:

bcdedit /displayorder {current} {71a18689-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}

or for the other way around:

bcdedit /displayorder {71a18689-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} {current}

SYNTAX:

bcedit /displayorder {identifier of first OS diaplyed} {second OS} {Third OS}

You can accomplish the same thing by using VistaBootPro, without the need of running the Boot Configuration Editor from the command line...

There's also a program called EasyBCD that does more-or-less the same thing.

I think EasyBCD is slightly more flexible because it also allows you to use Linux OSes.
