Can I have - 2 operating system installed and running in two partitions of hard drive to my desktop computer?
I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit (a copy of the license), preloaded in my office by DELL from 20/02/2007. Before that from July 2002, I was with Windows XP Professional Pack 1 with fireplace (a copy of the license of the version DT. 25 October 2001). Because I have to go to another State for a new job, I gave the IBM Office to my friend. But the CD with operating system Windows XP pack1 is lying idle with me. I want to install the same in another partition of the hard disk to present Desktop DELL. I have partitioned my hard drive in the goal - C:\ and D:\. Now, I want to know, before you proceed further - is my scheme is feasible? The two O.S. will work in two separate partitions with regularly updated? I visited the "historical update file" and I noticed that Windows XP Professional Pack2 and Pack3 has been downloaded one installed in the system. I will give you more time using Windows XP Professional if loaded correctly in D:\ because it is more compatible with my professional needs. I invite suggestions from my learned friends.
Thanking you in advance,
SONIA.

Hello
This is the link I gave you.
http://www.syschat.com/dual-boot-Vista-XP-Vista-already-1946.html
And I have no problerms getting there.
Www.syschat.com you give links to their chat rooms.
On an XP Pro disk, you need to ask a computer repair workshop all the copies they might have. Microsoft sells more XP
Here is another link to dual boot Vista and XP:
http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm
There are options there for dual boot the other way around.
And you don't always tell where you downloaded it from the files of XP SP1 or why you have them as asked me to.
See you soon.

I received the message that my iphone storage is almost full. It is mainly from photos and videos. I deleted the videos and have uploaded my photos on my hard drive of computer desk top of the page (which is a Dell non Apple products). Can I now enter into the iphoto library and delete photos without losing those I downloaded on my desktop computer. If so, how do I? Thank you D
iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external 'hard drive '. If you remove them on your device, they will remove icloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective.

I'll buy a kit of barebones without preinstalled operating system and was wondering if I could use my Windows 7 upgrade disk to install Windows on the new PC.
Short answer 'NO '.
Upgrade means upgrade. An upgrade can only be used to upgrade a previous version of XP or Vista. You will need to purchase a full retail or OEM version to install on a computer without an operating system.

No, you will not be able to.

-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

You can copy and paste the files on your external hard drive.Right-click your folder of the image and choose copy...
Right-click on the drive letter for your external hard
drive and choose Paste.You can also right click on some files or folders and
in the menu... Choose... Send to..., then select the
Letter from the external hard drive.FWIW... the external hard disk file system
must be NTFS if the files larger than 4 GB will be

Two vista operating system installed, but only starts
Hello
I hope someone could help me to overcome this problem:
My laptop with vista venus hm so high-end, as I bought it in Germany had German language. So I bought ultimate in English and do a new installation. I was very happy with it, but yesterday I tried to install the original hp vista to do the dual boot. As it was provided by Toshiba Recovery CD, it was put directly to install on the HARD disk. I knew that it will erase all data, if there is, to HDD1 and install the operating system and other programs (as it was put in the BIOS to boot from there), but previously I already installed the ultimate in disk HARD 2. I thought, the vista hp will be in 1 HDD and ultimate will be in 2 HDD so I can choose at the beginning that one to start.
However, after the installation of vista hp it show at the beginning of any other OS and just start with vista hp without giving no possibility to choose which start first. I checked this ultimate is also there, but I can't start. Can anyone, please, help me? I'd appreciate any suggestion, information and help. Thank you
Greetings
SurajHello
You can use the 'Vista Boot Pro' tool, which is a very good tool to manage the startup options if you have multiple operating systems installed.
Just go here-> http://www.vistabootpro.org/
and download the tool.With the help of this tool, you should be able to start the two OS´s on your machine.

Operating system installed not?
I am currently hunting for a computer on eBay and most of the computers I want to buy do not have the operating system installed on them. What does it mean when they do not have the operating system on them? Also, most of them come with the sticker COST; and have the COA sticker helps me get a BONE if I need one?
Operating system is the software that manages the hardware and software installed on the computer. In most cases, its usually Windows that is installed on the machine.
If there is a COA sticker that is attached to the machine, it means that it has been authorized with a genuine version of Windows. The COA sticker indicates the following:
Version of Windows that came on the machine (IE. Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Vista)
A product key: used to turn on and pair the license with the machine
Product ID: to determine the level of support for the machine
If she has not installed Windows, you will need to get the installation media for the version of Windows that came on the machine or you need to request recovery of the manufacturer of the computer media.

install win 7 home on the new hard drive on old Inspiron N5010
My daughter N5010 has a faulty hard drive I want to replace and load win 7 Home premium (it was what was on it when she bought new in 2010)
I downloaded an .iso of digital river and will burn on dvd for installation. However, the COA on the bottom is quite warn and I cannot read the product key, also, the barcode is also quite warn and cannot parse. hard drive, that I took out is dead, so there is not using the key of it. I have read several posts here and watched videos that will happen on google searches, but don't know if I'm getting good information. How I get the correct key to activate the operating system? did this on a new original hard drive different from the resettlement on the hard disc descriptions? I called dell support and told him a hard guy to understand that the downloaded .by don't work with this laptop, but I suspect he wanted to sell me a software warranty and new discs. Maybe it's correct? What is my best option here?
Thank you for your attention......<>
However the slp cert is identical for each single Dell system running with Windows 7 Home Premium factory settings or installed with a Windows 7 Home Premium DVD Dell reinstallation, you cannot back up your own files.
If you get a Dell reinstallation DVD, you will use the same activation mechanism. I have backup upward cert for each version of Dell for Vista and 7 as well all that you need to do is copy program to extract the ABR folder and run restore activation.

Is it possible to have the 64-Bit and 32-bit operating system installed on the same computer?
* Original title: installation of window OS
Hi all
In my system, it's already installed 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate. I want to install 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. Is it possible to have two operating system installed on the same computer? Can I do it?
PL, guide me positively.
Best regards
Kapil Kumar.
The amount of RAM is okay as long as you have a minimum of 2 GB installed. Even if you have more than 4 GB, it would not matter, Windows 7 Home Premium just won't recognize it.
In respect with the both, you can set up a dual-boot configuration. Please note that you must have a unique product key to activate Windows 7 Home Premium.
See the instructions how to set up a partition:
http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/dual-boot-Windows-10-other-versions-Windows/
References Windows 10, but the same instructions for Windows 7 also work.
Click Start, right-click computer, click on manage
Click on disk management
Select the system partition in which Windows 10 is installed. Right-click, and then click on cut.
Enter the amount of space you want to allocate to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, then click on cut. The more, the better.
An unallocated partition will now be available. Right-click, and then click New Simple Volume
This will start the wizard new Simple Volume, which will allow you to format, assign a drive letter and volume label.
Once your partition is ready, you are now ready to install Windows 7
Boot from the Windows 7 Home Premium disc, then
Click Custom (advanced option)
Select the partition we created earlier, and then click Next.
Wait for the copy of the Windows installation files.

I have a PC with Vista, I tried to install Windows XP, it was rejected, and now I don't have an operating system
Bruce,
Do you remember if you wanted to do a new installation or had you partitioned your hard drive to install it in a dual boot with Vista?
If you do not have a BONE now it sounds lik evous was the first choice that clears your current installation.
You need to reinstall Vista from your original media to recover your system if this is the case.
Unfortunately, if this is what you choose, you have lost all the data that was on your hard drive as well.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad new possible.
