Adding a new MBR on the drive where is installed Vista Ultimate

My computer has the following configuration.   (.. .and works very well!)

= Player disc-1 =.
* (Vista Boot Manager)
* XP (C :))

= Player disc-2 =.
* Vista Ultimate (e :)) (when I installed Vista, he installed BOOTMGR to drive hard-1))

My question/problem is I want to move or simply - to add an instance of BOOTMGR Vista Drive-2 which is completely independent of Drive-1.    It is very likely that I have will soon be abolition of the use of Drive we.   My hope is that all I have to do is hide/idlers in car-1 and boot from the Vista DVD and use the utilities here to create a new boot sector and MBR for Drive-2.   All problems similar to what I've read door on one disk, where a new installation has wiped out the boot process.   Y at - it someone who has a good understanding of my particular setup of two motor which can give some advice.

Thank you, Steve

I'm now able to start only one installation of Vista from reader1 or lecteur2.

= Player disc-1 =.
* (Vista Boot Manager, Vista boots on lecteur2)
* XP (C :))

= Player disc-2 =.
* (Vista Boot Manager, Vista boots here on lecteur2)
* Vista Ultimate (e :)) (when I installed Vista, he installed BOOTMGR to drive hard-1))

Wow... I would love to give an ordered list and understandable how I realized that.  But most of the time I went in circles and re - set which was made before.   I'll at least try list commands, the list of the problems encountered and give some useful suggestions.

= The list of what to do: =.
* Vista on lecteur2 to give a new system partition
* Give the new partition system on lecteur2 a MBR and bootmgr code installed
* Create a new BCD database in the root/boot/directory (file is called BCD)
* You need a Vista DVD to boot from and to the recovery environment

= List orders that I used in the order of approximately: =.
Bootrec /scanos (needs to show at least "1" windows installation found)

= - Suite 5 lines are two ways to save the BCD file - =.
bcdedit/export C:\boot\BCD_Backup1
c:
Boot CD
BCD attrib s h - r
c:\boot\bcd Ren BCD_Backup2 (this cmd and not really necessary but just prev after kb/927392)

DiskPart (using select the disk and partition to activate as needed)

Bootrec /fixmbr
Bootrec /fixboot
Bootsect.exe/nt60 E:/force

Bootrec /rebuildbcd (sorry, don't know if did before or after bootrec /fixmbr)

= Problems / suggestions =.
The trickiest part is to make sure both drives and question all partitions are defined according to the needs for the next task (hidden or not) and (active or not).
* You must understand - well - how to set your BIOS to boot (for Vista DVD or the New Partition)
* You need to understand all the commands used; Google each for a reference document
Good examples are:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/927391
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/927392
* I got the freebie here EasyBCD bootsect command: http://neosmart.net large part of the info, I found this command, but he was apparently only available with Vista for a short period (and was not on any of my Vista computers)
* I was initially eager to ALSO change the Vista on C: drive, but I now realize that is not possible when starting from two readers.   Furthermore, I'm not completely sure, that it is even possible to change.  (you cannot change a designation of the system drive for Vista disk management).  I found some info about changes to the registry, but I lost track of it.  In any case I'll deal with that at a later date.  If you find info on how to do it please let me know.

    Hi MEMason,

    1. what type of installation? Is - this facility upgrade or custom (clean) installation?
    2. do you have an extra adapter connected to the computer?
    3. What is the size of the RAM (Random Access Memory) installed on the computer?
    4. do you have 32-bit processor or 64-bit?

    We recommend that you first perform an installation without a key and check if the problem persists. This means, proceed with the installation without inserting the key during installation.

    If the problem persists, we recommend that you simplify the material, for example, if you have an additional video and RAM card, then disconnect / remove the system and run the install to see if the problem persists.

    Have a laptop Envy M6-K010DX. Due to a problem of the internet while improving to win 8 to 8.1, the PC does not start correctly, and Windows Explorer will not load. Has decided to "Refresh" of the operating system and is gone to F11 restore utilities.

    Hello Lara.

    IF you have updated from 8 to 8.1 and the process was interrupted during installation, this may damage the disc and therefore locked error. "Refreshing" the system would not be the answer that you need to clean install Windows 8 again. 8.1 update can break the bond of the recovery partition, especially if it has become corrupted as indicated.

    You must clean up the installation with the recovery discs, you must have created before you updated to 8.1.

    In addition, if you do not have the recovery disks, you can buy a set of HP or install a regular copy of Windows 8 and then update the drivers manually. HP has the Windows key now integrated into the bios.

    Hello

    What is the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer?
    Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.
    Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
    Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:

    My daughters Toshiba S955-S5373 went all green, she says while she helped the battery out. I didn't know she was in trouble. We tried to solve; However, Bad_system_config_info appears before diagnosing and resolving problems. After 4 hours, nothing has been resolved.

    Original title: Toshiba S955-S5373 will not start

    Hi Annaed,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I can understand your concerns to your system and will certainly guide you in the right direction to solve the problem.

    Control bug BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO occurs if the SYSTEM registry hive is damaged. However, this corruption is generally unlikely, because the bootloader, known as NT Loader (NTLDR) in versions of Windows prior to Vista, checks a hive for corruption when loading the hive.

    This bug check can also occur if some values and critical registry keys are missing. You keys and values may be absent, if a user manually change the registry.

    As per the error message "the drive where windows is installed is locked, unlock the drive and try again", I would refer to the suggestions posted by phanlon7 replied on 12 October 2013 in the next thread and check if they are useful.

  • New hard drive installed Vista Ultimate, now I can not install my printer - why?

    Computer Dell laptop hard drive replaced (warranty) with Vista Ultimate, I installed Office 2007 Professional disc 1 fine, windows update is fine, but I cannot complete the installation for my Kodak printer disc. Has been given the Internet to install via the internet address - link doesn't work either - drive flashing green bar "installation preparation" then nothing? Link Web shows 'Preparing to install' with a full bar green - then stuck there. A few minutes later, he disappears. Never installed. Do not open the drive or cross the bar - never open the Green window to install. Support Kodak decided that I was missing the .net on pre-installed OS HDD framework files. Enough of 3.45 and 4. Is this correct? Do I need previous versions, or something else is the cause. How can I check to see that all the files are correct and understand WHY I can not INSTALL MY PRINTER?

    Until the hard disk, memory & the keyboard have been replaced by the Dell tech, I had installed and printed on this Kodak printer for 9-12 months. Suggestions welcome.

    Hi LSMama,

    Cannot install network printer on Windows 7.  Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver.  All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions?  How can I fix it?
    Windows Server 2008 network.  Printers have ip addresses. Install the drivers from the Print Manager.  /Terminal Server Workgroup installation.

    It's the same situation with XP.  The print driver names must match.  If you notice the name of the printer driver that uses XP is a name different from the one that is installed when you plug in the device on the Windows 7 computer.  This is just my assumption, please correct me if this isn't the case.

    The real solution is to install a 32-bit driver on the XP machine that uses the same name that the 64-bit driver and share a printer using this driver or find a 64-bit driver that uses the same name as the 32-bit driver installed on XP and install the driver on XP.

  • Install Vista Ultimate on a new disc

    Hello world

    I have Vista Ultimate installed on my 320 GB internal hard drive.

    The Vista disc that I have, cannot be installed on a pc.

    Unfortunately, this disc has become unstable and I'm afraid it will fail and I will lose everything on it.

    I am about to buy a 1 TB drive and wish first, partition, then install Vista Ultimate on it, then transfer all of my original him.

    A simple enough thing to do I guess.

    However, I learned by several people that I won't be able to install Vista on drive 1 TB, as Microsoft will see this facility as a "second installation on a second pc" and so I will not be able to validate my drive.

    Can someone tell me if this is correct

    Thank you very much

    be installed only on one computer at a time, but a copy has an OEM
    additional restriction: his license it permanently binds to the first

    However, even if it is an OEM copy, change the hard drive does not work

  • loss of partition when adding a new partition on the hard drive

    Under XP SP3, I have connected a HDD backup (1, 5 to) where there was a single logical partition, split into two units of 500 GB each.

    They were regularly mounted and functional, with their assigned letter (E and F). I decided to add and create a last 500 GB partition.

    For example, in disk management, I right click the empty space and following the wizard I accepted the default values (64 k just set as block size) and quick format. Put the label and agreed to assign the letter G.

    I came very soon with a primary partition (outside of the logical, green box) with the letter G. HOWEVER, the second partition disappeared, it became a green filled rectangle saying that it is a free space to allocate.

    So I find myself with E and G. I have connected the drive to another pc and still the same.

    Is there a solution to this (u imagine how I feel...) or everyone has experienced something like this? How to recover data now? I think and hope that it is a corruption of the pt, but how can it happen?

    Sorry to be long, I'm very confused with xp and his unexpected behavior.

    Thank you for reading and possibly tips, Bravo ricardo

    TestDisk may be able to recover the logical drive in the extended partition.

  • I need help to create a new partition of the drive c. main on my laptop

    OK, I already tried to create a new partition and it did, but the new partition I created has become "unallocated" I don't know why, I have read the information online and they say that you cannot remove a player from the "unallocated" partition, so I am trying to create a new partition on this drive "unallocated". when its almost finished, I get warning all the time

    the operation you selected will convert the disk from basic to dynamic disk selected s. If you want to convert the disks to dynamic disks, you will not be able to boot operating systems from any volumes on the s drive (except the current boot volume). Are you sure you want to continue?

    I want to create a new partition on this disc, please help

  • Adding memory, had to unplug the drive hard-

    Hello - I added 2 GB of memory to my 2 GB system (Pavillion m7680n, XP). In order to access the memory locations, the hard disk had to be removed and disconnected. (true!) Now, I don't see anything on my screen, can't even get mode without failure, restore, or will that use my recovery disks. I would appreciated any advice - seems to be completely dead (although I get turns on when starting, and fan work etc, not sure if mouse, keyboard, monitor or readers work?) Help me please!

    Remove the new memory module and return its initial configuration of the memory of your PC.

    It starts Windows now?

    Did you buy a bar of memory which has been guaranteed compatible and identical to the original memory modules?

    If the upgrade memory, delete the original modules and install new modules or make sure they are identical in all respects.

    Do not follow the practice I described increases no startup scenario chances in a big way.
