Figure 4-48 Exporting Windows boot record with NVRBOOT.EFI
To recover the boot menu record, use the (I)mport command from the
NVRBOOT utility.
To illustrate the export/import process, here is an example. If you were to take a
set of disks from one x455 to another, you would do the following:
1. Export the Windows boot entry from the first server and save it on the EFI
System Partition (which is a partition on the disk).
2. Insert the disks into the second server.
3. Import the file.
4. Verify that the import was successful by booting from the newly created boot
entry.
