• Can I run dual boot Vista 32 and Windows 7 64? Can I use a upgrade disk to install the full version?

  original title: I have a simple question...

  I have Vista 32 bit.  I have two hard drives.  Vista 32 is on disk 0.  (C) I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.  I want to change the installation path on Windows 7 64 bit edition updated the software on my second drive, so I can run a system dual boot.  Windows 7 Setup will allow me to do?  I can use the version upgrade of the software for that, or do I have the full version?

  Hello

  You can't do what you want to do

  32-bit to 64-bit is NOT a upgrade path if you have always wanted to upgrade 32 bit vista

  It must be done with a clean install with a final certificate

  and you need a full license of windows 7 to install windows 7 on the 2nd hard drive

  You can dual boot vista 32-bit and 64-bit windows 7, if the manufacturer of your computer provides windows 7 drivers

• How dual boot Vista and Windows 7

  I'm using vista Home premium and want to install windows 7 a.m. premium as a dual boot. If I decide later by far with windows vista and keep only 7 How can proceed?

  Assuming that my OS is windows 7 can I use the same disk of vista on the virtual machine with the same product key.

  Vista and 7 cannot exist on the same partition as a dual boot? How to do it.

  Is ther to disadvantages in dual boot?

  There are no real problems with dual boot if it's Setup corrrectly.

  You need operating systems on separate partitions (readers not necessarily distinct, but definitely separate from the partitions).

  If you uninstall Vista later and it's a copy to the details of the program, then you can install it in a virtual drive using the same product key (but you'll probably need to activate manually).

  Here's how Dual boot Vista with Widows7: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/5166-dual-boot-installation-windows-7-vista.html.

  Although written for other systems, the process to remove a dual boot will work with Windows7 and Vista (although you may need to use the commands and Windows7 disk): http://vistasupport.mvps.org/remove_windows_vista_from_dual_boot_system.htm depending on the situation and that was installed first.

• The 32-bit drivers will work on 64-bit so dual boot to 32 bit?

  Hello

  I use my laptop for recording audio. It came standard with Windows Vista 64-bit. I recently got a piece of hardware (a mixing table) has currently no 64-bit drivers. I was wondering if I put my computer to dual boot saying Windows Xp 32 bit if I would be able to get the drivers and run my blender.

  Thank you
  Trae

  Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

  If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

  You need 64-bit drivers for the 64-bit operating system.

• Dual Boot Vista and XP in separate hard drives?

  I currently installed on a hard drive in Vista and I have an extra which is 160 GB I want to install XP on so that I can dualboot both, is it possible?

  Remember that there is no partition in question here.

  The key which makes the task easier is to preformat the drive, assign a disk label (example: WinXP) and then launch the installation.

• How do I set up a dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives?

  Dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives

  I tried to get my computer has a separate hard drive put in place that lets me run Windows XP or Windows Vista. I tried the path of the CMD, but I could do things wrong with that because the news NTLDR appeared much too different info from Vista. Currently, I have deleted this change to the startup configuration. I want to know what I have to do to get these two to be able to boot. I noticed problems similar to mine, but the answer always seems to be a software that would cost me money.

  Thank you

  Tevans95

  Hello Tevans95,

  You cannot install two different operating systems on two different disks. For a dual-boot environment, you must install both XP and Vista on the same drive with different partitions.

  In addition, you must install Windows XP first and then Windows Vista.

  You can check the items below which will give you information on Dual boot.

  Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

  Set up a dual-boot system

  Change the default operating system for startup (multiboot)

  There is no software that can help you to install XP and Vista on different drives.

  Thank you

• How to create the dual boot with Red Hat Linux and Vista on Satellite A200

  Hi all!

  I have a Satellite A200 pre-installed with vista home premium and I would install another OS that is Red Hat Linux Fedora Core 7.
  Can someone advice me how do? I'll be very grateful to receive your answers. Thanks again!

  Well, I put t use this Linux distro on my laptop but I used the Knoppix Live CD and it was very easy.
  It was not necessary to install anything. I simply booted from the Live CD and I could use the full Linux operating system.

  So, it might be better to use this Linux live CD instead of the complete installation.
  I think that the main problem would be available to the driver.
  The fact is that Toshiba does not support Linux on laptops and so Linux drivers are not available.

• Satellite Pro A200: How to create Dual boot; Vista & XP using the recovery CD

  I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A200, which was supplied with the product for Vista and XP Recovery discs.
  The license specifically Vista also XP licenses.
  Can I set up a dual boot so that I can boot to Vista or XP? If so, how?

  I would also like a third boot, Red Hat Linux 9.
  Any comments?

  Hmmm. Usually it s possible to use two or more operating systems on the computer, but as far as I know the Toshiba Vista recovery CD formats whole disk when installing Vista and this will lead to the loss of the OS installed.
  I m not 100% sure on the recovery of the newest XP CD called RECON doesn t CD include an expert mode which allows to choose between the different partitions.

  So I guess that each use the recovery CD will format the HARD drive and erase the installed data. But of course, you can try to install the two BONES and to check if the restore XP CD allows to choose the second part of the installation of the OS.

  If it does not, it seems that you will need to an original XP from Microsoft CD or the original CD of Vista to use the two BONES.

  Best regards

• In a configuration of dual boot Vista/Vista, where are the operating system files stored in another copy of Vista?

  In one, the operating system is in the C:\Windows folder. Where the operating system is stored on the 2nd partition?

  Hi BDTT.

  If you have installed the Windows vista operating system in a dual-boot on two partitions Setup then you find another folder Windows in the second disc of the partition.

  For example: C:\Windows and D:\Windows.

  When you start in any partition the root drive letter would change to the C:\ drive.

  I hope this helps!

• Dual boot Win7 32 bit and the 64 bit Win8?

  In anticipation to Windows 8 be accessible to the masses, I would like to know what are the possibilities to install 64-bit Windows 8 when Windows 7 32-bit is already installed.

  Would Windows 7 32 bit and all the 32-bit drivers need to be reinstalled with the 64-bit versions?

  Which means a complete reinstallation of parameters/data and applications existing/installed all be kept or partition the hard disk drive and to start new to new is the only solution?

  Or install another hard drive would be more appropriate?

  If you dual-boot Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 8, you will need to install the 64-bit native drivers. Windows 8 and 7 64 bit do not support 32-bit drivers.

  Which means a complete reinstallation of parameters/data and applications existing/installed all be kept or partition the hard disk drive and to start new to new is the only solution?

  Yes, you will have to reinstall applications too. You will be able to migrate your personal files and settings by using the Windows Easy Transfer utility.

  Or install another hard drive would be more appropriate?

  You can install it on another partition or hard disk. If you are installing on another partition or hard drive, you will need a full version of Windows 8.

• Boot Vista 32 bit problems

  MacAfee bypassed downloaded Trojan horse on my laptop a few months ago.  I bought Malwarebytes pro who has found, quarantined, and even removed. Since that time? While it fires without problem, my laptop does not always load windows correctly and must be repeated started or have removed and reinstalled battery to start windows.   Eventually windows will open and operate normally. It doesn't have the standby mode only after being completely closed. I just got a clean stall re done by the shop where I bought it cost £80 and the problem persists.  Get the sympathy bit or not at the dealership.  I managed to find how to use the HARD drive recovery disc I made myself and picked up the phone to the factory settings.  As I handed out programs, startup problems are still there?  Diagnostic test indicates no problem, have also run chk disk that does not solve this problem

  Hello Anthony662,

  Sorry, you experience this problem.  Reading your posts, I show, you have a recovery disk, but you have an installation for Windows Vista disk?  If you do or are able to get one, I suggest to perform a repair of the start-up of an installation disc.

  Do you have confirmed that your laptop is updated with all the drivers, BIOS and FW?  I suggest you look at the manufacturer's website to see if there are any new updates.

• Remove Xp in Dual Boot Vista/XP with disk HARD 2

  Hello. I have Xp Pro saved on a HARD disc C, and professional Vista registered in D.  I want to run vista exclusively and remove it from my PC, additional HARD drive which has XP on it. When I try to format it, I can't obviously because the XP HDD is my system drive. I tried to unplug C with XP Pro on it and just get plugged with Vista Business d, but then I get the ntldr and boot.ini lack type errors.  I copied ntldr and ntdetect files on my Vista drive. I also received the error, no os boot from C:\Windows.

  I found how to remove xp on one partition, but not when you have separate HDD.

  Any help?

  Thank you.

  Hello Fullerfyed,

  Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

  Try the rest of the stage in this article:

  Simply load in Vista and format the partition ON THAT XP is installed. As the Vista bootloader has control of the boot, there is no need to change the XP boot.ini file.

  Restart your computer with either 1 Vista CD or your DVD of Vista in the player, if you don't you will be prompted to select an operating system. Once in Setup, choose repair console in the first screen (not install).

  Now, the last option is a DOS prompt, choose that.

  A DOS prompt appears, and then type the following:

  Bootrec.exe /fixmbr

  * This will essentially remove XP from the Vista bootloader

  Bootrec.exe /fixboot

  * This will verify that XP is no longer present in the boot.ini in Vista

  Reboot and XP is history.

  This should solve your problem.

  Let us know if these steps solve your problem.  I hope the information is useful.

  Kind regards

• Dual Boot Vista/WXP - cannot install audio driver Windows XP Home edition

  Hello
  I installed Vista on a P105-S9722 (it works fine) and created a second partition for installation of Windows XP Home edition. Everything is ok except that I'm unable to install the Conexant audio driver (I have a yellow exclamation point in device next to Conexant High Definition Audio Manager). Earlier I was able to install it on a simple boot WXP partition.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Have you tried installing the driver for Windows XP audio right?
  I found another thread that you have posted here in the forum and you not known websites where to find the correct drivers.

  I found this audio driver XP for Satellite P105-S9722
