Question: Do ERUNT and NTREGOPT run on Windows 7?
Answer: ERUNT and NTREGOPT in their current versions 1.1j are still
compatible with Windows 7, but as in Vista, they will only work
correctly if you turn off User Account Control in Windows' Control Panel
(move the slider to the lowest position).
Also, a problem has been discovered which on many systems causes ERDNT
and NTREGOPT to display a "RegSaveKey: 3" error when optimizing /
restoring the BCD00000000 hive. The cause is that after a clean install
of Windows 7, the BCD part of the registry which contains Windows' boot
configuration data resides on a hidden system partition with no drive
letter assigned in Explorer. You can simply ignore this error and
continue, or as a workaround, open Disk Managemant in Control Panel and
right-click on the partition displayed as "System Reserved" to assign a
drive letter.
