After installing Windows 7, the option to dual boot with my Windows XP already installed is not available.

PROBLEM TO DUAL BOOT XP AND 7... 1 XP

I have 4 partition one my h/d. in win xp (S.P 2) c drive is already install. now I install win 7 in d. disc 7 victory is also insal smouthly. but when I restart my computer, startup bual option not shown... only xp boot otometicaly... why?

EasyBCD to add Windows 7 in the start menu. Note: after you have installed Windows 7, you should have a folder located in the Windows XP partition named C:\Boot (BCD store) that's what Windows 7 and XP boot build to start with. Easy BCD will list each operating system in the BCD store and also allow you to add an additional OS (in your case, Windows 7) and set the default OS after a 30 second delay.

  • Help remove vista and options to dual boot with Windows 7

    I think that I have selected the bits from the right here, but please let me know if not.  I recently installed windows 7 and I love it so much I want to remove vista.

    I can't find any instructions on how to make sure (after formatting the drive with Vista on it - it's on a drive of 500 GB physically separated for Win 7) that I can remove the dual boot option, I currently have.  I also read if I do badly I can leave windows 7 unusable.

    Win 7 is a full do not install an upgrade, just like vista.

    Any help on the Microsoft site means how to repair xp, vista or windows 7, so to delete this post.

    Any help or direction is appreciated, I have a few days to make what I just place my order for a 2 TB HDD, so won't try until it happens.

    Hello

    "Just to check and then (which seems easier to me), if I transfer my data from the vista disc (assuming that it is the system disk) then delete and restart with the win7 dvd, a repair will then sign the Windows 7 disk as the system disk and remove any dual boot option?

    Yes, it should work. As the Win7 disk does not currently startup files, made only with this disc a repair will create the most necessary.

    "Out of curiosity if I format the Vista disc, and then restart your computer with the win7 dvd, this will give the same effect as having Remode the floppy disk in the first place?

    No, except if you use Disk Manager to designate the Win7 drive than active first. If you simply format the Vista disk and then run a repair, startup files will be rewritten on the disk of Vista.

  • Accidentally deleted Windows 7 during the attempt to dual boot with Ubuntu

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    Service number: ADMIN NOTE: maintain the label removed by privacy policy >

    In trying to dual boot my system with Ubuntu, I accidentally erased Windows 7 during the partition. I bought my system used in a store and now I need a way to get Windows 7. I don't want to pay too much for the support. I talked to a Dell technician and they said for security systems that they charged $120 for each case. I don't know how true it is or if there are exceptions. I'm not quite willing to pay $120 for support, because I paid only about US $300 for the system. If I were asked to pay US $120 for it, I might as well buy a new one right? It is not that I am not willing to pay for support, but if the charge is a significant percentage of the value of the system, I am not prepared to pay for it.

    Any help you can give me in this regard will be highly appreciated.

    Thank you

    You can try Windows 10 TH2 by yourself... If you like it then you don't need to pay Windows 7 media and/or to obtain from an unofficial source.

    There are always positive and negative comments on versions of Windows. Windows ME, Vista and 8 in particular had the worst critics... In my opinion Windows 10 is a good successor to Windows 7 (Windows 8 was not).

    If you don't like it then you can get the DVD on eBay. The restorediscs is probably just copied a DVD to reinstall Dell Windows 7 send. There are debates or no eBay or these sources media buy is authentic or not. The license is tied to the Windows 7 COA affixed to your computer, so from a technical point of view it does not matter where you get the installation media.

  • 24 b017c: 24 - b017c dual boot with Win7 possible?

    The b017c is capable of running WIN7 pro in anyway shape?

    I really need to do a system dual boot with WIN7 If Yes.  WIN10 is not be nice to some specific software Attorney that I need to have to work for a client. Win7 is the latest OS, this software is compatible with before an upgrade of expensive software can't be compatible with Win8 or higher (we're talking $1000-2000 range).

    I tried to install WIN7 on this computer after the partitioning of the disk space, and put out several settings in the bios (I had error btw), but WIN7 keeps hanging in the first screen after loading the drivers (language selection screen). Something happens where ports USB closing killing all connections to the mouse and keyboard. I have tried many changes in the bios settings and a retry of the WIN7 Installer (from an installation disc) but no dice.

    Is there a certain combination of settings that must be disabled in the bios to get the win7 Installer right or I'm screwed?

    Thanks for any help

    What an adventure!

    As you discovered, you must completely format the drive as one or the other (GPT or MBR).  You cannot format a GPT partition and the other in the MBR.

    I wonder if you had back and disabled the legacy mode, if W7 would let you install on the GPT - or partition if the disabling legacy mode would also have permitted secure boot.

    In any case, it's water under the bridge.

  • How to create a dual boot with Vista installed on my Satellite U400?

    Hello

    I just bought a U400 - 17 H with vista installed on the HARD drive. I would like to create a dual boot with XP Pro.

    I have only a drive HARD aleady with 2 partitions (1 for vista) + 1 for data.
    I want to cut the partition vista in two 2 pieces to install XP Pro.
    At the end I'll have 3 partitions 1 vista (65 MB), 1 xp (65 MB) and 1 data (125 MB).

    Is it easily to create a new partition ok (I guess only on vista)
    but is there a program dedicated to install another OS and create a dual boot.

    Please help me because I like many things the other way around. I'm sure it's possible, but what are the right process to have at the end of two BONES and the choice at the start of the laptop

    Thank you
    Gerard

    Hello!

    Create a new partition for Windows XP and install it. There is no problem.

    After that, you need to restore the Windows Vista boot loader. You can do this with EasyBCD. Install and start the program.
    Go to the tab "Add/Remove entries". You will see that there is only one option available in the bootloader of Vista at the moment. In the "Add an entry" section, replace the drive in the menu drop-down of C:\ E:\. Change Type "Windows NT / 2 k/XP / 2 k 3" and the name of "Microsoft Windows XP". Then click on 'Add an entry' and 'save '.
    Then go to the "Manage Bootloader" tab make sure "Reinstall the Vista Bootloader" is selected, then click on "write the MBR.

    Now you can restart the laptop and you should have a full system dual boot to work.

  • Can I do a dual boot with Windows 7?

    After taking all the precautions I can think to install Windows 7 on my wifes laptop. Drive recovery system, backups (2 DVDs) and an image I did more than 6 DVD.

    I thought why not only reduce the Vista Partition, install Windows 7 in the created partition and run Windows 7 to see if it will work on the laptop (gives me time to straighten out things so that my wife can always use). Then remove the Vista Partition. If the laptop was mine would just reformat the dang thing and deal with what it goes down from there.

    Then there is the Question of what to do about the EISA (recovery Partition)?

    Hello!

    Of course, you can install Windows 7 and do a system to dual-boot with Windows Vista... Why not? ;)

    As you have already said if Windows 7 works well on your laptop (I put t know which model you have exactly) you can remove Vista and use the old partition to store data or to include a new in the Windows 7 partition.

    The hidden partition do you mean isn't the Toshiba recovery partition! It is a feature of Windows.
    You can remove this partition you don t he most needs.

    In addition, with the Toshiba Recovery disk, you are on the safe side. If you don't want Windows 7 you can go to Vista (factory settings). :)

  • Get Win8.1 Pro with Media Center in Dual Boot with Windows 10 Pro

    In December of 2012, I bought a new Dell XPS12 running 64-bit window 8.  Later, I bought "Win8 Media Center Pro Pack" for Windows Media Center.  Later, I upgraded to Windows 10 pro and lost Media Center.  Given that I had a legitimate copy of Windows 8 Pro with Media Center, I would like to re - install in a separate partition.  I was able to clean install Win8.1 in this partition using a flash drive and the MediaCreationTool.  He did not like my product key OEM Win8, and he didn't like my WMC Pro Pack upgrade key, so I installed using a KMS key that is freely available online.

    Clearly, I go about it the wrong way.  I'm happy to start again and install Win8, then upgrade with my pro WMC pack key, but I do not know the mystical incantations necessary to get there.  Since I had legitimately a Pro Win8.1 with instance of Media Center, and I my self Win10 product key after upgrade, I can't imagine that such a dual-boot configuration would be illegal.  Can someone please help?

    Thank you

    Loki

    Hello

    Eventually your 8.1 installation using KMS will be disabled.

    1. cannot use keys hacked to enable long term of Windows, as you will be taken; It's a matter of time.

    2. the key/license Windows product to describe the operating system, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, etc. is absorbed by upgrading Windows 10 during the installation process and becomes an integral part of the active Windows 10 final installation.

    The license qualifying operating system, either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, etc. cannot be used anywhere else, or in a dual boot with Windows 10.

    Kind regards.
