It worked nicely.

But with a word of warning. I found out on my next Win XP bootup that it
seems the software installs a hidden task scheduler job in Win XP.

According to the author, this is to check for updates. A strange way to
check for updates through a RSS feed. It also stops after 5 hours and change
and the first run is about 30 minutes of installing EasyBootBCD.

Personally, I'll hopefully use it once and that's it. I don't need to check
for update for a one time thing [same reason why I didn't bother with
VistaBootPro. Why pay $10 for a small issue that I could blame on MS?].
