• Win 8 upgrade - the user can cause dual boot using the same license?

  Hello

  Thanks to MS for offers updated Win 7 for win 8 to 14.99 USD for all new buyers of Win 7 PC after June, 2012.

  I'm one of the eligible candidates for the upgrade at this price. However, I spent a lot of time, money and effort to put in place the Win 7 OS so that he could function at an optimal level I want.

  My understanding of an upgrade to win 8 is to lose everything I have Win 7 and replace the entire operating system to win 8 via a download from the MS. Download Center

  The problem is that I don't know if Win 8 is what I like and not sure if it is better than Windows 7. Reinstallation of Win 7 back takes time and effort.

  Do I know if the user can install Win 8 to another partition primary drive c during the upgrade, retaining the original Win7 (same license) to the other partition?

  If this is the case, it would be a great bonus for the new buyer of Win 7 PC, otherwise the user need to spend more money to buy to win a CD of Installation of 8 at the store and install t to separate partition.

  Thank you

  You can dual boot with the free upgrade, so that you upgrade to the eligible license, in this case Windows 7. If you want to dual boot Windows 7 and Windows 8, you must buy the full version license, what is Windows 8 Pro for use staff system

  Hello.

  XP and Seven is installed in dual-boot on my laptop and I use EasyBCD to choose which system I want to start.

  To start XP, I need to enable "Compatibility" (Controller SATA in BIOS mode) and seven is "AHCI" must be activated.

  Is there a way for my two OS was started without making changes in the bios?
  Y at - it an update to correct this problem (or alternative)?

  Thank you in advance.
  Marc

  Yes you can do it but I'm afraid, you must reinstall Windows XP Home edition m.
  Why? Because before beginning to install Windows XP Home edition, you must change it to AHCI mode, launch the installation of Windows XP Home edition and before you start you need to load the SATA driver (via F6 I think).

  Long time ago, we have discussed a lot about this on this forum then use the advanced search anc check options other postings on this subject.

• 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). :)

• I can't dual boot my PC pre-installed Windows 7 with Windows XP?

  I created a primary partition on my Windows 7 PC preinstalled in freeing up space. When I start my PC the Windows XP installation CD, Windows XP will in the usual configuration process by displaying the F6 option on the screen blue etc and it unloads the controllers and disks required.  However, when the installation phase starts, an error message appears: "a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.  Continue displaying the error message "If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears the following steps - check for viruses, run Chkdsk.  It is followed by a time code error stop: 0X0000007B etc.  Please note that I checked my computer for any viruses and none have been reported.  I ran CHKDSK in guest of user privileges to administrator and windows has checked the file system had no problem.

  It is important to mention that since I managed to install a copy of Windows Vista on my PC pre-installed Windows 7 without any problem.  I can now now dual boot between the two OSs.  Unfortunately, I can not install a new genuine copy of Windows XP on my PC.  I get the same old error message after configuring setup blue screen whenever I try to install Windows XP.  Now, it seems that I have to buy another PC to install XP despite the fact that I have a lot of space on the hard drive of Windows 7 preinstalled PC.  I am aware of the fact that Windows XP uses a different startup for Windows 7/Vista file, but my computer must always allow Windows XP install.

  I am just totally baffled by the latter.   It is normally recommended to install Windows XP before Windows 7, but because my PC is preinstalled with Windows 7, this recommeded option has not been available to me.  I would appreciate any suggestion to this problem of people there.

  Thank you

  "the SATA driver will be included in the Chipset Drivers?" - Yes they are generally at least that your SATA ports are connected to a separate SATA/RAID chip.

  There are two good utilities to create a "SlipStreamed" CD
  (1) Autostreamer - easy to use. (Only not for the integration of the drivers)
  (2) nLite - which is more complex, but you can integrate drivers
  and much more. http://www.nliteos.com/nLite.html

  Can I install and activate the new 64-bit partition by using the same product key, or is that 32-bit installation fail/break?

  Where can I still get Windows 7?

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

• 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.

• Satellite U940 PSU6VA - Dual boot with Ubuntu based distributions

  _ * My specifications: * _
  * Model: * Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite PSU6VA - 00S 002 U940)
  * Operating system: * Windows 8.1 x 64 (upgrade of Windows 8 x 64)

  I would like to set up my computer to dual boot with Windows 8.1 (x 64) and Zorin OS 9.1 (64-bit).

  ZORIN OS is a derivative of Ubuntu which maintains a binary compatibility with Ubuntu i.e. Ubuntu and Zorin use the same drivers and can run the same applications. John Damascene is more or less just Ubuntu with a different desktop environment and some additional preinstalled applications.

  So far, I know that I need to disable the QuickStart Windows 8.1. What I have to do something else (for example disable Secure Boot, CSM, etc.)?

  In addition, my Ultrabook comes with 2 hard drives: 500 GB HARD drive and a 30 GB SSD. Windows uses the HARD disk for storage and for implementing SSD caching, through technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Is it possible to set up John of Damascus to do so (preferably without disabling caching on Windows)?

  NOTE: I prefer to do things using graphical interfaces, rather than the CLI. I don't mind given CLI instructions; also just showed me the GUI equivalents if possible. I use the CLI if there is no alternative.

  Hello

  See my responses / comments among your questions (I took part of your message and inserted here):

  So far, I know that I need to disable the QuickStart Windows 8.1. What I have to do something else (for example disable Secure Boot, CSM, etc.)?

  Answer: If you want to dual-boot, do NOT select WSC as preventing Windows to start.
  You shouldn't have to disable startup secure either, but I can't promise that. I think that Ubuntu 14 has support for secure boot.

  In addition, my Ultrabook comes with 2 hard drives: 500 GB HARD drive and a 30 GB SSD. Windows uses the HARD disk for storage and for implementing SSD caching, through technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Is it possible to set up John of Damascus to do so (preferably without disabling caching on Windows)?

  Answer: No, I don't think that there is a way to use the SSD in Zorin without making it unusable for Windows.
  Suggestion - let it be.

• Satellite C850 - 19(d) - I want to do a dual boot with Linux and Win 8

  Last week I had a Satellite C85O - PSCBWE-03200WGR 19(d)

  Yesterday, I try to make a dual boot with Ubuntu.

  I do not have a start to boot from USB, or iso CD (same choices as for the Toshiba application), and I did one on the bios:
  -Disable secure boot
  -Change UEFI CSM support
  -Save

  On reboot, I get not Toshiba logo, but a black screen with:

  «This product is covered by one or more of the following patents:...» (list of patents...)

  Realtek...

  PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable
  PXE - MOF: Exit PXE ROM
  "No boot device - insert boot and press a key.

  I can't open the Bios again at F2.

  Which I recover the system?

  Hello

  The unit has been pre-installed with Win 8 64 bit right?

  Change BIOS setting of UEFI to CSM and disabling secure boot prevent Notepad to start 8 to win!

  That's why the device cannot find the boot device and passes to the last option: LAN.
  But given that the laptop can not find bootable system via LAN, the error PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable appears.

  If you want to use a dual boot, you will need to boot into Win 8
  Win 8 you must create a partition for installing Linux. This can be down in Win 8 disk management. It must reduce a last partition and have to create new free space available.

  Now to start installing Linux you need support... you can burn the iso on DVD or a USB bootable Linux. There are a lot of details on the internet how to create these media.
  Once you have created the bootable USB key, restart your PC with USB connected.
  Press F12 for the boot menu. Now you should see the key USB (if it is bootable!) choose USB and you should be able to install Linux (Ubuntu is great!)

  Here's a nice page that would provide the statement all step by step!

• Satellite L305-S5939 - Dual boot with Linux

  I recently bought the notebook title mentioned for my studies in computer programming that will require me to dual boot with Linux.
  I decided to use Ubuntu and their instructions for upward the dual boot parameters are simple.

  However, I heard from people having problems with the settings of the BIOS on other brands when said is finished.
  Before I embark on this journey, I want to just make sure that everything is set to avoid problems.

  Unfortunately, I have not found much information about Dual boot with Linux and Toshiba L305s.
  Other than the basic principles of what I need to do before installing?

  I think that a dual boot on the Satellite L305 should not be a problem because you can do it on every laptop or PC.

  If you want Ubuntu you should take a look on Wubi
  http://wubi-Installer.org/
  It of pretty easy to use and in my opinion the best way to install Ubuntu on a system dual boot.

• 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

  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.

  Good bye
