Please explain what your mean. Do you mean the text info in the curly brackets?

Why do you need it.

Bcdedit /?

should give you help you need.

Google bcdedit and you will find detailed MS documents.

Not sure I understand the question

you could

bcdedit -enum {id}

if that is what you mean

How can i figure out a ID

or do you mean a batch file to find an existing ID perhaps ?

I do it like this

Code:
@echo off
mode con lines=40 cols=140
color 5f
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
echo.
echo Looking for recovery sequence
(set RECSEQGUID=)
for /f "usebackq tokens=1,2 delims={} " %%G in (`bcdedit.exe -enum {current} ^| find "recoverysequence"`) do set RECSEQGUID=%%H
if "%RECSEQGUID%"=="" echo sequence not found &goto :endline
echo.
echo guid is {%RECSEQGUID%} &echo.
bcdedit -enum {%RECSEQGUID%}
:endline
echo.
pause

which produces this:

@cereberus
i had a wrecked multiOS and had to clean up the msconfig.

@SIW2
Thanks, will check that out.

I noticed one thing that some Guids are predefined and not random, since i could google them...
