• 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.

• How can I create new partition for dual boot (Windows 7/Ubuntu)?

  My Z580 came with 4 primary partitions: the Windows boot partition; Windows OS & data (C drive); a "Lenovo" partition which seems to have the drivers and software pre-installed (drive D). and an OEM partition that is used for key recovery.

  I want to create a dual boot system, as if I had on my old laptop, so I guess I need to delete one of the existing partitions and create an extended partition. The best candidate seems to be the 'Lenovo' partition with the drivers and applications. Can I backup the data on this partition and transfer it to the C drive... or put it on a new logical partition?

  Alternatively, it would be preferable to save the OEM DVD recovery partition, and then delete and create a new extended partition? I guess that means abandon OKR, but I'd still be able to recover Windows of DVDs (?).

  I would appreciate anyone's help. I am far from being an expert or computer whizz, so if you can help, please keep it simple!

  In fact, you can get if you only change the size of the D: drive. I guess that your D: drive occupies about 25 GB. You can delete this partition and shrink the C: drive as 100 GB (or any size you like) and you can create a new D: drive. This way you can use OneKey Recovery and install the second OS on a larger partition and yet once again, I suggest you create Factory Default disc before you do all this

• CMT Compaq dc7100 Dual Boot, Windows 7 Pro and XP Pro

  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).

• 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.

• 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.

  Yes, you will need to reinstall all your applications. In regards to your personal files, you could probably go through the partition of Windows 7 under Users\Your_Account

  You may experience permission errors, so it is recommended you start in Windows 7 and backup your data using Windows Easy Transfer and restoration of Windows 8.

• Migrate to El Capitan in a dual boot Situation

  I have a Mac Book Pro 2011 with two internal hard drives.  (I got the optical drive, replaced by the second hard drive).  A reader has installed El Capitan.  The other disc has Snow Leopard.  I want to finish my transition to El Capitan while being able from time to time dual boot from the Snow Leopard disc in order to run some legacy applications.  Meanwhile, I have done work on "both sides of the fence" and do not want to replace or destroy data and applications that currently exist on the drive from El Capitan.

  Can I use the Migration Wizard to move most of the data and compatible applications since the Snow Leopard disc to the drive of El Capitan?  Or who will overwrite what already exists on the disk of El Capitan?  Or can / should I I manually copy data and applications from one disk to the other?  My end goal is Snow Leopard "skeleton" for legacy applications, thanks to the drive of El Capitan being my main boot drive.

  Hope this makes some sense.

  When I had this situation, I did a manual copy, so I would have more control over what was copied and where he went.

• Dual-boot Windows and Linux, but Linux has calendar, TB 31.0

  I'm using Linux Mint and Windows 7 dual-boot. I have TB 31.0 installed on each operating system. TB Linux has a capacity of calendar; in Windows, there is nothing (by nothing, I mean no calendars - I can't see their properties, for example, access somehow).

  I should add that Windows and Linux TB programs share the same profile folder (located on a separate partition), therefore, all of the same modules, passwords, etc.

  The error console records the following:

  Timestamp: 14/08/2014-18:41:33
  Error: Components.classes['@ [cid] is undefined
  Source file: resource://calendar/modules/calUtils.jsm-> file:///P:/PortableApps/ThunderbirdPortable/Data/profile/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/calendar-js/calUtils.js
  Online: 17

  There are a variety of flow on the errors related to this.

  My apologies for posting this in this way; I intend to submit this via the crashreporter, but I can't get the program crash with this error earlier.

  An answer to my own question: it turns out that, while sharing a profile works quite well for most of the cases, with lightning, he does not, like the extension has different versions of Linux and Windows. The problem is solved very simply: by not using is not the same profile for each version.

  Glad to see that no one takes on this one (except me, of course).

• Satellite Pro A200: How to create Dual boot; Vista & XP using the recovery CD

  I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A200, which was supplied with the product for Vista and XP Recovery discs.
  The license specifically Vista also XP licenses.
  Can I set up a dual boot so that I can boot to Vista or XP? If so, how?

  I would also like a third boot, Red Hat Linux 9.
  Any comments?

  Hmmm. Usually it s possible to use two or more operating systems on the computer, but as far as I know the Toshiba Vista recovery CD formats whole disk when installing Vista and this will lead to the loss of the OS installed.
  I m not 100% sure on the recovery of the newest XP CD called RECON doesn t CD include an expert mode which allows to choose between the different partitions.

  So I guess that each use the recovery CD will format the HARD drive and erase the installed data. But of course, you can try to install the two BONES and to check if the restore XP CD allows to choose the second part of the installation of the OS.

  If it does not, it seems that you will need to an original XP from Microsoft CD or the original CD of Vista to use the two BONES.

• 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

• 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.

  Good bye

• Dual boot Linux - Windows on the Satellite U940

  Hello to everyone.

  I'm pretty new to this forum and I have a Toshiba Satellite nine U940-10N? Using Linux for the past 2 years, I would install a debian wheezy on this distribution.

  Only Debian has been installed on my old computer, so I'm net really uncomfortable with dual boot especially with the ssd.

  I really don't like windows, but I still sometimes work on this subject.

  Don't you think it would be better to install linux on the system system, as I've seen on most threads, with only the/home on the HARD drive? Or do you think it would be interesting to build another raid as if it was now for windows? You want better performance and speed this way.

  Another question: is it possible to have a data to ext4 partition and make windows to see or what I write to ntfs? I noticed that the written on linux with gparted fat32 and ntfs are not recognized by windows 8.
  Those are my questions for now.

  Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  First let's look at your situation - U940-10N will probably be a unit Win8, right?
  If YES - then the BIOS must be configured for a UEFI boot.
  Secure boot can be disabled.

  It seems Debian is not so far in supporting UEFI / EFI start modes.
  Look at this ad from back in October:

  http://www.debian.org/devel/Debian-Installer/news/2012/20121018

  So, you'll need to make sure that your debian flavor may start in UEFI boot mode.
  If this isn't the case, you will have problems getting the two OS' (Debian and Win8) live side by side and start-up without problem.

  Then, you will need to ensure that Debian is able to install a bootloader that takes account of Windows 8 and is able to start this OS.

  Storage looking, I tried to install Fedora on a system of double storage (SSD + HDD).
  I installed the OS on the SSD and my structure of the House was placed on the HARD drive.
  It worked very well.
  I think that this also provides better performance, but I have no real statistics to back it up.

  Ext4 is not supported by Windows out of the box, but there is an existing driver that implements ext2, 3, 4 support for Windows: http://www.ext2fsd.com/

  If you ask me, I'd rather have Linux to access an NTFS partition that having Windows trying to write on a partition Ext2/3/4. I have full confidence in the NTFS from Linux support, but not the reverse.

  If Fat and NTFS partitions are not recognized by Windows, check that partitions Fat32 or NTFS.
  Maybe it's that the file systems are NTFS / Fat but the partitions have signatures of Linux.

  Hope this helps

• Portege R500: XP - Vista Dual Boot

  After much struggling R500 I Dual Boot XP Vista works fine.

  I bought the R500 with Vista, but has found a use not very good for real.

  Microsoft has announced that you can go back to XP if you have licensed professional Vista - but Toshiba will still provide an installation CD.

  I decided to set up a dual boot with another license XPPro rather than do a reinstall. Many of my problems also apply to a straight reinstall XP.

  You must reduce the Vista partitions or data in order to create space for a new primary partition, and then start it from a XP disc to install it in the new partition.

  When you are installing XP, you will get a crash scren blue before arriving to screen the asking where you want to install because the XP CD does not one for hard disk sata driver, unless include you the operating system to include the correct driver, or use F6 to load the drivers you need.

  You need the drivers Intel Matrix - available on their website - here
  http://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Filter_Results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2800&OS FullName = Windows * + XP + Professional & lang = eng & strOSs = 44 & submit = Go %21

  and you have to point 7 that you put on a key usb, floppy disk to use when you press F6.

  But beware: when installing XP you indicates a choice of your special controllers and you choose - there seems to be about 4 in the list. I didn't know which one to choose. Indeed the list scrolls and the one you want is 82801GBM SATA AHCI (mobile) which is near the bottom of the list. If you choose the wrong process ends with a crash Stop blue screen 0007B.

  With the right driver XP installs fine. When you restart Vista then seems to have disappeared (although there is not, and you can see the files of XP and Vista drive). The problem is that XP has replaced the Vista boot file you will need to repair Vista.

  How to solve this problem is to use a Vista boot CD, cross the first screen, select Repair, select command prompt and type at the command prompt:

  Bootrec.exe /fixMBR
  and then
  Bootrec.exe /fixBoot

  then exit and restart.

  Vista works then, but XP went!

  then you need a utility to help you change the Vista boot record - I used EasyBCD (easily available on the web) failed with Acronis OS Loader.

  Another problem - I got a message "hal.dll lack" that stopped XP installation as well. It is because the number of partition in the file boot.ini, he built was wrong--for me the exact number was 3. XP with no stage Hat device I could enter Vista and use Notepad to edit the boot.ini file

  Once I had two starting systems, I could update XP and load the drivers of Toshiba. Once all Toshiba drivers had been installed in the system tree had no warning yellow and everything seems to work OK.

  The whole process is well documented on the web but the points that I've highlighted here were not or caused me a special pain and took a lot of trial and error and research develop and when I called them last week and some of these points were not apparently known of and were not resolved by the Toshiba UK support.

  I have now a satisfactory dual boot - XP is much better for me than Vista - and I've come back to Vista if service packs, etc. mean that he seems to have an adequate return.

  I hope Toshiba will document this process properly and publish the results and provide an easy way to get the files you need in a single operation, rather than having to download each bit separately.

  Good luck!

• Equium A300D - Parralled/Dual Boot OS

  Hello.

  Yesterday I bought a laptop A300D and after setting up, I found her quite slow. For example, it will come with "Please wait" before show you the login screen when starting upwards. It takes at least just around 2-4minuets to allow you to open a session. After that, though. I found its a machine ok, but I was wondering if I could go back to Windows XP. I don't like vista, but I think it is perhaps one of the causes for its slowness. I think that also. When I start to install my own software ect it will get slower.

  I've heard a lot of 'dual boot' and I was wondering if it was possible on this laptop. I have 3 hard drives in this laptop.

  Vista (c :)) F 117)
  WINRE (:)) 1.46 GB D
  Data (e :)) F 113)

  What I read, I could use my data (e) for an operating system and (c) for the other. Although I'm not entirely sure how, or even if its possible to do it on this laptop. I mean. tell if it worked, and I got XP on a disk of the XP operating system would use the laptop as vista only? Two hearts, graphics ect.

  I really have a small list of questions to ask if it's ok. I will list out them.

  #1: is it possible to dual boot on a Toshiba A300D?
  #2: is it possible to dual boot on separate hard drives?
  #3: If so, how can I do to set up?
  #4: are there special programs, I need to do?
  #5: XP will use it has computers and hardware as well as vista?

  I think it's the issues that I really want to this time. I'm still pretty new to computers. Thank you for reading, and if it is possible please let me know. . Once thank you once again.

  Mallues. =)

  Although I am focused on the dual-boot, if there is a way to simply install XP without vista at all, that would be massively useful also. Thank you.
