boot - Repair BCD for a Windows Installer on Grub2 Portable Hard Drive

I have created a external hard drive contain GRUB2. This drive can boot the following:




  • Windows 10 PE

  • Ubuntu 16

  • Many ISO files.




Now I want to include Windows installations. My problem is I want to put each version of windows in its own folder like so:




  • DIR windows10x64

  • DIR windows10x32

  • DIR windows8x64

  • DIR windows8x32

  • DIR windows7x64


  • DIR windows7x32



The issue now becomes that moving the installation files from their root directory to these folders messes up the BCD. I know you can use bcdboot to repair the BCD in a windows file system. My issue is there is no windows file system within the install files.



Is there anyway to repair the BCD on a windows installation USB?



Thanks!
