3. Double click “Windows Settings” under “Computer Configuration” and Double click again on “Shutdown” in the right window.
4. A new window appears, click “add”, “Browse”, locate your “ntosboot.bat” file that you have created in the Step 1 & click “Open”.
5. Click “OK”, “Apply” & “OK” once again to exit.
6. select “Run” from the Start menu & type “devmgmt.msc”.
7. Double click on “IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers”
8. Right click on “Primary IDE Channel” and select “Properties”.
9. Select the “Advanced Settings” tab then on the device 0 or 1 that doesn’t have ‘device type’ greyed out select ‘none’ instead of ‘autodetect’ & click “OK”.
