Can multi-bottes be on any partition?

Hello.

-Multi-bottes of can be on any partition?

I try again to do a multi-boot. I had a few problems before and returned at the start, but maybe this time it will be easier, I'v learned a lot since February and March this year.

I have XP Home 32-bit Edition. I'll make a partition for Vista Home Premium 32-bit. The partition will be on the main HARD drive. I have several drives installed. I want to keep others as is. I also have a Player cards, printer and 2 optical drives. I want to leave the only HARD disk at least. In this way, it would be easier to save files and work from the same locations.

-If my C drive partition can become drive N - Z? This score would have the second operating system on it. Maybe I don't want to put Windows 7 on a third install later. If it relates to.

-Can I change and resize partitions, incase I wanted to tri-boot? Right now I will be probably it split down the middle. The main HARD disk is 1 TB. If I was going to go 500 ~ and ~ 500 GB. But if the dual-boot does not work yet, I would like to add the other partition on the C drive if possible. Or change them if possible for a tri-boot and Win7 later.

-Is it possible to install 32 - bit OS versions after versions of 64-bit operating system? For example: a Vista 64 bit on drive c and a Win7 32-bit on drive d? Note: I do not have these versions, it's just a matter.

What are some suggestions and tips for what I do? I ' v been said:

-Let the log of disk upgrade online to get all the files for installation.

-More old BONE of the first. (This is done since XP is already there.

Backup your stuff. I have and to be able to disconnect the other HARD drives. I also did a picture of Norton Ghost on the C drive.

-Get all of the updates for the operating system current and then the second, third, etc. OS.

-Install the malware protection and get all the updates for this on the new OS also.

-Install new programs last.

-Vista remove XP Recovery points. At least I have hide drive or encrypt it Vista. Tips: Use imaging software or encrypt location of XP since Vista.

Everything is appreciated.

Hello

Why not divide the drive into 3 or even 4 partitions now? The data can be 3 or 4. In this way the
data are not affected by any changes made to the OS.

Yes, you can both 32-bit and 64-bit dual boot for a long time they are on drives or partitions correct.

These suggestions are very good. Don't forget your data, backups are turned the computer off or on players who
you do not use for any OS (just in case). Multiple backups are always a good idea.

Restore Points can be an important issue, so here are the methods to manage the:

  • Can I safely delete the D partition on the HARD drive?

    Second question: my laptop came with the HD in two partitions, C and d is there a purpose for this and I can easily (safely) delete the D partition?

    You can do what you want and you can create a partition but HARD DISK with two partitions has since. All important data, you can save the second one (D). If something is wrong with the operating system you can install it at any time on the partition c. on this way, all your data will still be there.

    The delivered use recovery media, you can use the configuration option and select installation on already created the C partition.

  • I can't see my hard drives partition more :-/

    Hello

    I can see is no longer a partition that I had on an external drive. I know that this probably isn't the best thing to do, but I had a backup time machine on this partition (such as one on my hard drive to the Mac).  I think I've ejected the drive not correctly once, and since the partition of time machine no longer appears

    Disk utility does not launch or that hard drive is plugged so I can't reformat it even :-/

    If anyone knows any more options?

    Thank you very much

    Nick

    You can try to disconnect your external drive, reboot into Recovery Mode (command-R), and OS X Utilities launch disk utilitymenu, connect your external drive and see if you can format.

    I purchased Drive Genius 4 OWC (Macsales.com) and had something similar happens where I could see all the partitions on the external drive but could not repartition or delete one of them. With Drive Genius, I was able to repartition and format. So, you might need a 3rd party app like Disk Warrior and Drive Genius (trial download) to manipulate your external drive.

  • Satellite A660-k17: can I remove the two primary partitions used for restoration?

    Hello
    I have 3 questions :) #.

    1. I burned a copy dvd recovery media, on a laptop A660 k17. There are two partitions on the disk that I think are there for the recovery. The first is 1.46 GB and it's for the recovery and another partition hidden 8.29 GB... and I think that the first contains the Recovery Wizard and the whole environment in which we will get through the repair of the system and the hidden disk contains the actuall with windows data, drivers and so on. Can I remove these two? I ask mainly on the first, if it is not necessary for the system to boot or something after that I have to recover the laptop to the factory setting.

    2 and I also want to leave my partitions so that I don't have to partition the whole drive from C 600 GB again. I have a D drive created but there is this response to a topic already in the forum http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=64754&tstart=90
    who says that when I leave the partitions I created myself, that the recovery will be not available. I have a copy on dvd, but only to make sure no kidding something upward.

    3. when I want a clean system without some software which are preloaded on the oem recovery disk... I have to use windows recovery? or it will be the same as the toshiba one?
    Thanks for the reply possible :)
    Beautiful day :)

    > Can I remove the two primary partitions used for restoration?
    First not, but you can remove the Toshiba recovery partition if you created the recovery DVDs. One day, if you want to install the recovery image once again you can use created the recovery disc.

  • Question: How can I change disk space for partitioned disks?

    I'm having a problem using top too much disk space on my (vista) C drive on my satellite L500, now that I've filled with iTunes music files. I want to use a part of the E drive to 'Add' on the C drive space. Is this possible?

    Also, could I just use the E-drive to add anyway, if I told iTunes to look for a few songs and C E for others? E has special properties like the recovery partition that can complicate things?

    Thanks if anyone can help!

    Hello

    1 delete all the files and unnecessary programs from the disk: C to the freed space.
    2. move all the movies, photos, music on the disk E;
    3. If you use the Download Manager to download files, you can change the path where to save the downloaded files in your local case: E

    You can change the size of the partition in administrative tools in Control Panel. However, I prefer to use a partition manager paragon to resize partitions on my computers. Before add/create partitions, make sure that you have made a recovery disk.

    Hi Anna_753,

    Usually, you would receive messages from any program if it is impossible to access the port.

    If you want to check if the port is accessible, then you will need to check the firewall settings.
