CC Hameed: Last week, while planning blog posts for April, it occurred to me that although we had provided information on using the /3GB switch in the boot.ini file on Windows Server 2003, we hadn’t followed up with a post about how to implement this same functionality in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. Beginning with Windows Vista, boot configuration parameters are stored in the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store. We’re not going to go into details on the BCD Store, or the utility to manage the BCD Store, BCDEDIT.EXE. If you want to read more about it, there is a BCD FAQ on TechNet that goes over the new functionality.
