Tile: CMT Compaq dc7100 Dual Boot, Windows 7 Pro and XP Pro

Hello everyone.  My computer is adjustable having the dual boot with Windows 7 Pro on disk 0 (320 GB SATA Seagate Barracuda 7200.11) and XP Pro disk 1 (40 GB SATA Samsung SP0411C). As the two systems are available at the start but most all the time Windows 7 Pro would use. The computer is Compaq 7100, WCL PP255US, 3.2 GHZ Intel Pentium 4, 3 GB of ram, Council ch h 0968, bios HP 78 1 v01.05 16/06/2004, chip Intel 915 G Express.  According to the website of Seagate Barracuda 320 GB with (quote), ' he not there no master/slave because every player relationship is considered to be a master in a relationship from point to point.» If two drives are connected to a Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system considers that the two devices as if they were the two "masters" on two ports separated. Both drives behave as if they were device 0 (master) devices.  On the drive Samsung (SP0411C) I put a jumper for master, it is connected to the motherboard instead of disk 1. Used rider illustrated for Samsung SP0411N since I did not see the SP0411C listed. When selecting information for Samsung Seagate site sometimes showed data for their readers. This is perhaps due to the recent acquisition of Samsung or maybe my mistake.  Tried swapping around wiring of each drive but that didn't work of course. Looked at the settings in the BIOS but did not see a way to create the dual boot.  Please let me know if you need more information. If you know how this can be done or have some suggestions, please let me hear it. As always, thank you very much for your comments.

Hello oscarmint, I checked the specifications of your system and it does not show the system supports two types of hard drives.

The system supports only Serial ATA (Sata) synchronous Maximum 150 MB/s transfer rate

You would need to make the jumper on the Seagate 320 GB Sata Drive pin, set at 150 MB/s.

You are right that the Seagate would not Cable Select or slave settings and it would be the master and only on cable.

If the 40 GB hard drive is a type of ATA (IDE), you'd better put as selection of cables (CS).

  • How to connect W XP to DSL with Dual Boot Windows 7 Pro & Windows XP Pro,

    Have Windows 7 Pro & Windows XP Pro installed in a dual-boot on a new computer configuration. Have Windows 7 Pro connected to the DSL through a wired connection to the Cisco router. How can I connect Windows XP to DSL, via wired or wireless?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

     

    I understand that you must also connect the Windows XP operating system to a network.

    Here are a few steps to do this, please follow.

    Step 1: Set up Windows XP DSL Connection: using the new network connection wizard.

    1. Click Start and follow the path: programs-> Accessories-> Communications.

    2. Select the New Connection Wizard , and then click Next.

    3. There are several options in the wizard. You set a Windows XP DSL connection, select the option above that says to connect to the internet and click Next.

    4. Select Setup my connection manually and click Next.

    5. Here, there are three options. The first is for the modem connection, so we must not select. If your DSL account is always enabled, select the third option and click Finish and see the next section on IP addresses. If your DSL account is a limited account, which requires the password, select the second option and click Next.

    6. Enter a name for this connection, and then click Next.

    7. In this screen, enter your DSL ID and the password that you got from the ISP. Click Finish.

    Hope this information is useful. Please update the status of this issue. Do not hesitate to contact us to get help with the Windows operating system. We are happy to help you.

    Hello

    I recently installed Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 (boot uefi) on a 17 want without any real problems, to verify the following.

    1. your use of a Windows 7 64-bit installation disc.

    2. in the start of installation, make sure that you select the CDROM (UEFI) as a boot device.  Note:  If you see the CDROM option, always turn off the laptop with Windows 7 inserted disc, start it and immediately typing away at f9 to launch the Start Menu and see if the CDROM (UEFI) option is now listed.

    Once installed, you can check if your booting from firmware by opening a command prompt, type bcdedit/enum and press on enter – you should see .efi as a suffix for the startup path.

  • Windows Easy Transfer. Dual boot Windows XP 32 and 64-bit Windows 7

    I am upgrading to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit of Windows XP 32-bit profressionelle. I was looking at using the "Windows Easy Transfer" application for transfer settings. I will install Windows 7 on a separate partition and Windows XP is my current operating system. I want to use the WET program, but it implies that I'm to be transferred from ONE computer to another (using the cable or a network). It's the same machine and only no OS will run at the same time. How would I be able to use WET in this situation of dual boot? I have not yet installed Windows 7 or WET. Thanks, BarJabba

    Is the Windows 7 Professional a full license or upgrade? Please note that you will be unable to dual boot using a license to upgrade because it requires that you have previous eligible license installed on the partition.

    If it is a license full and that you plan to dual boot and want to transfer personal files and settings by using Windows Easy Transfer for Windows XP, you will need to do is select the option during the transfer Assistant Windows backup on an external storage device.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  • Dual Boot windows Linux 8.1 on Pavilion 17-e157eo

    Will there be a completely safe way for a dual-boot Windows 8.1 and Linux on a Pavilion 17-e157eo?

    I searched the dualboot topics, but solutions do not seem to apply in this case.  Secure boot has been disabled. Quick start has been disabled. In this PC disk partitions are not dynamic but simple.

    Starting from a Live Linux DVD results in a blank screen even if the DVD player is clearly read something.  Is the problem due to the fact that this PC has the INTEL 4600 graphics chip and an AMD Radeon 8670 M?

    A better solution would be to use VMware or VirtualBox, set up a Linux guest operating system, the host system is of course Windows 8.1?

    No problem, glad I could help. If you could mark one of my posts with an acceptable Solution and congratulations if this information was useful, it would be much appreciated and it would be useful to other institutions. Thank you and have a great day!

  • Re: Tecra S11 - Dual boot Windows 7 and XP

    I installed Windows 7 (from the hidden to the hardrive recovery section) on my new Tecra S11. I would like to know if I can use the Windows XP
    recovery media provided by Toshiba to create a dual boot Windows 7/Windows XP rather than go back to XP?

    Hi dualboot.

    As far as I know it of not possible to create a dual boot with XP and Windows 7 Toshiba Recovery disk. The problem is that the recovery disk erases the entire HARD disk, so there is no option to create a dual boot with another operating system.

    If you want XP too you need to a normal XP installation disk Microsoft or you use virtualization of Windows 7 XP mode, if some n t applications run on Windows 7. ;)

  • How much better the partition of the HARD drive for dual boot: Windows 8 and Linux

    Hello

    I am a newbie in Windows 8, linux, Partition...

    I want to use my new laptop with windows 8 pre-installed on the following:

    Create a Dual Boot Windows 8 / Ubuntu
    Create on my drive C (single disk on my laptop):

    * a partition for the system
    * one for Windows 8
    * one for data and
    least for Ubuntu OS

    My goal is:

    -to install VmWare on Windows 8 and run Splat Checkpoint with virtual machines to make the FCTC laboratories.

    to install GNS3 on Ubuntu for CCNP Labs but with GNS3 to access the files in the data partition

    I have a Toshiba Satellite with 750 GB and 8 GB of RAM.

    According to you, what is the best size for my scores?
    Is there a better way to partition my C drive on my goal?

    Best regards

    I don't know if this is the right section, sorry for that. Feel free to move this thread in the appropriate section *.

    I think the size of partitions depends of the you want to use and install other software.
    So if you have a lot of software which runs under the Windows System I recommend to choose a larger size to win 8 partition.

    However, given that you have a 750 GB HARD drive, you could take 200GB for Win 8, 100 GB to Linux and the rest of the HARD drive size, that you can use for data.

    By the way: I found Nice YouTube video how to create a dual boot using 8 Win and Linux http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_Yd2jK-7Jg

  • Remove dual-boot windows partitions 8

    Hi, I have a Hp probook 4530 s with windows 7 64 bit and I want to dual-boot windows 8 but I have the authorized maximum of partitions and I bought the recovery disc for windows 7 so I don't no if I should remove the recovery partition or the tools of hp, hp is pretty much empty is only using 1 mb to 5 GB , but I've heard that there a few updates to the BIOS, so safely remove one of these parties (recovery, tools, or both) to dual-boot windows 8?

    What I do is get a 3 TB external hard drive, or a size larger than your 500 GB. Create a widnows system repair disc 7. Use Macrium reflect free, all partitions (snapshot of the disk) backup, delete the ones that aren't needed. Tools and recovery are not necessary (but you should keep a copy so that you can go back to where you are now). The first partition contains startup information so don't get ride of that one. But even if you did and only restored the great OS partition, you could always use the system repair disc, do a startup repair and replace the boot on this single partition files and you're on your way again (it's just an extra step).

    After you remove the 2 partitions have not yet enough space to install windows 8. Go to disk management in windows 7 and shrink the partition and create a new partition in the remaining space.

    I have a dual boot Windows 7 and Windows 8. I was wondering if I could increase the size of the space of hard disk for Windows 8?

    There are 333 GB of space available for Windows 7 and 20.8 GB available for Windows 8.
    I would like to know if its possible to increase space for Windows 8?

    You must use a third-party tool such as Easeus Partition Master Home Edition - http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-Manager-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html

    This will allow you to resize the boot partition by dragging the button to allocate the extra space for Windows 7 or Windows 8.

  • Dual boot Win7 32 bit and the 64 bit Win8?

    In anticipation to Windows 8 be accessible to the masses, I would like to know what are the possibilities to install 64-bit Windows 8 when Windows 7 32-bit is already installed.

    Would Windows 7 32 bit and all the 32-bit drivers need to be reinstalled with the 64-bit versions?

    Which means a complete reinstallation of parameters/data and applications existing/installed all be kept or partition the hard disk drive and to start new to new is the only solution?

    Or install another hard drive would be more appropriate?

    Would Windows 7 32 bit and all the 32-bit drivers need to be reinstalled with the 64-bit versions?

    If you dual-boot Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 8, you will need to install the 64-bit native drivers. Windows 8 and 7 64 bit do not support 32-bit drivers.

    Which means a complete reinstallation of parameters/data and applications existing/installed all be kept or partition the hard disk drive and to start new to new is the only solution?

    Yes, you will have to reinstall applications too. You will be able to migrate your personal files and settings by using the Windows Easy Transfer utility.

    Or install another hard drive would be more appropriate?

    You can install it on another partition or hard disk. If you are installing on another partition or hard drive, you will need a full version of Windows 8.
