• 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). :)

  Good bye

• Try to install Windows XP & Vista in Dual Boot, but Windows XP not fully installed

  Hi friends,

  I have my serious to replace the Windows Vista on my desktop, I created some complications on my computer "dear."
  WIndows Xp has not been completely installed due to a driver error. Now, I have a WIndows Vista and a wrong version of Windows XP.
  I tried to replace the XP, but it seems that I have the following challenges:
  (1) the two versions of Windows (Vista and XP) are installed on one single disc itself, IE. C drive.
  (2) I formatted D drive, whereby a XP driver disappeared.
  In the current context, how can I uninstall the XP then replace Vista with a new version of XP, my C drive has little free space left due to the presence of 2 windows versions.
  Let me know the best way to go, I backed up all the data and data loss is not a concern, is of the order of the day to start!
  Thank you

• I am dual-boot between Windows 7 and Windows 8, but fear the time required to start,

  I am concerned about the time it takes my computer to start
  I have a system dual boot with Windows 7 and Windows 8, and it takes several minutes to decide to show me the screen to decide which OS to use, and then it restart and takes some time to start [the chosen OS
  Isn't time that Microsoft has put some of their skills as computers immediately when starting lit instead of focus on trying to outdo all other systems with stuff
  By the way, I have the same comment on the closure, it takes some time to completely close down--another point for Microsoft to put the attention

  Unfortunately, the processor is just at the level of the minimum required. In addition, RAM is 4 GB, in which folder page size will be approximately 8 GB. Norton 360 scans all files prior to execution, even if it's a system file. This is the reason for the delay.

  Try to upgrade the processor and the rest will be solved.

• Get Win8.1 Pro with Media Center in Dual Boot with Windows 10 Pro

  In December of 2012, I bought a new Dell XPS12 running 64-bit window 8.  Later, I bought "Win8 Media Center Pro Pack" for Windows Media Center.  Later, I upgraded to Windows 10 pro and lost Media Center.  Given that I had a legitimate copy of Windows 8 Pro with Media Center, I would like to re - install in a separate partition.  I was able to clean install Win8.1 in this partition using a flash drive and the MediaCreationTool.  He did not like my product key OEM Win8, and he didn't like my WMC Pro Pack upgrade key, so I installed using a KMS key that is freely available online.

  Clearly, I go about it the wrong way.  I'm happy to start again and install Win8, then upgrade with my pro WMC pack key, but I do not know the mystical incantations necessary to get there.  Since I had legitimately a Pro Win8.1 with instance of Media Center, and I my self Win10 product key after upgrade, I can't imagine that such a dual-boot configuration would be illegal.  Can someone please help?

  Thank you

  Loki

  Hello

  Eventually your 8.1 installation using KMS will be disabled.

  1. cannot use keys hacked to enable long term of Windows, as you will be taken; It's a matter of time.

  2. the key/license Windows product to describe the operating system, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, etc. is absorbed by upgrading Windows 10 during the installation process and becomes an integral part of the active Windows 10 final installation.

  The license qualifying operating system, either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, etc. cannot be used anywhere else, or in a dual boot with Windows 10.

  Kind regards.

• . PST to Outlook 2007 (including IMAP) can be shared on a dual boot system Windows XP/Win7?

  I'm migrating from Win XP Pro/32 for Win 7 Pro/64.  I dual-boot between the two while I migrate and test applications.  During the test, I would like to have Outlook 2007 use the same mail/calendar/contacts /... on both systems.  Among the files of e-mail are IMAP which seems to make the process more difficult.  Is this possible?

  Thank you!

  This can happen absolutely not.  I do it.

  Before you do anything, make a copy of your default PST.  Nothing of what I describe should affect your data somehow, but you can't be too sure.

  You don't have to worry about IMAP accounts.  IMAP accounts always have their own sets of folder, but given that the data are kept on the server, two prospects will see the same data.  In order to see your default folders, then Outlook closed (on a partition), move the PST file to a folder that can see the two partitions.  I have two partitions (XP and 7 on the other) on my main drive and I put my PST in a folder on a second disc.  After you move the PST file, start Outlook.  He will complain that it cannot see its records and give you a file browser window.  Navigate to the new location of your default PST, select it and click OK.  Outlook open and look exactly as it did before.

  Close Outlook and start the other partition.  Open the mail applet in the control panel (you may need to enable the 32-bit Control Panel), click the data files button, click Add and browse to the shared PST file.  Select it and click OK.  Now, click on set as default to make the place of delivery.  This will make the default folders (calendar, Contacts, Inbox, etc.) Similarly to the second partition.  Close the control panel and starting Microsoft Outlook.  You should see exactly what you saw on the other partition.

  You will also see the old PST, if you have one configured and you can move all data you want form saved the old default files in the new default folders by opening each folder, by selecting all the data with Ctrl + A and moving the selection.  (You can use copy instead if you want to have the original PST as a partial backup.)  For the calendar, you must select a table as per prior category view works Ctrl + A.

• Try to have a dual-boot with Windows 10 & FEDORA

  Hello
  I have 10 Windows installed. I want to have a dual-boot installation of Fedora 23.
  I created a partition. I installed Fdora. Everything seemed fine, but my system keeps on startup on Windows 10. I never get a dual-boot menu.
  No idea where this can be configured?

  I did or tried things:
  -updated my bios to the latest version
  -looked for installation of UEFI, I can't find where I can add the grub Fedora (something) any idea?
  -changed the quick boot setting in the Windows registry to 0
  -tried many things in the BIOS but no luck

  Thank you
  Damien

  Hello

  Please tell me a little background here.
  -C' was a unit of 10 Windows factory installed? Means to come with factory Win10? If not, this operating system has been installed on the factory unit? 7, 8, 8.1?
  -I guess that the aircraft had Win10 and you then added 23 Fedora. How did you go about to achieve this? Did you use the installer to resize a partition first? Which partition?
  -Don't you let Installer automatically configured partitions or did you do it manually?

  I tried it myself and was only partially successful, but got a quite different result that you did.
  Win10 has been installed at the factory.
  I resized the partition system (c) allow about 100 GB for Fedora 23.
  Let the installer automatically created the partition in that space.
  Once installed, the unit can restart in GRUB2 (Please note: NO of Win10) and let me choose boot Fedora or Win10.
  The boot of Win10 was however broken and I had to take a few steps of dignostic before Win10 has finally started ok (as did 23 Fedora of course).

  Then when everything was done, the device starts in GRUB2 and let me choose between Fedora and Win10.

• Qosmio X 300-Dual boot with Windows 7

  Any who have tested WINDOWS 7 beta 1 7000 in dual boot on X 300 and my problem is that Relatek is not installed, any solution?

  I n t have tested Windows 7 yet because I think there are too many bugs on it.
  So I'll wait for the final version.

  Regarding your problem with Realtek (I think you mean a missing driver) you need to search the site of the factory.
  I doubt there are already drivers for Windows 7, but a look and good luck!

• 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

• Dual boot with Windows 7 and LINUX - Tecra A11 (PTSE1A - 005-00L)

  Hello

  I bought a new Tecra A11 computer laptop running WIN7 Pro. I want to install LINUX also. This means that I want to run my laptop in dual boot Win7 Pro/LINUX (a Distributor). Please tell me how to do this.

  There are 5 partitions on the HARD disk:
  1 active, recovery partiton 1.46 GB (without drive letter)
  2. principal asset C: start 145,04 GB (NTFS)
  3. active logics E: 78,13 GB (NTFS)
  4 active logical F: 64.25 GB (NTFS)
  5 primary Partition 9.2 GB (no drive letter, the unknown application)

  Hey, I need because I was admitted to a course of RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer)

  Please help me

  Hello

  I can't give you a step by step explanation, but most distributions offer today a possibility to coexist with Windows.
  When installing the unused free space will be taken by Linux (with the consent of the user of course!)

  What exact configuration you need is impossible for someone else to say, but I would say to make the space occupied by the F player available for Linux.
  You seem to have of enough space for Windows and Linux operating system doesn't have much.

  Some thoughts about setting up your score:

  I touch NOT 1,2 and 5 no matter what. They are your system and a system of internal partitions (recovery and data environment) and wouldn't it be fun to lose.

  1 active, recovery partiton 1.46 GB (without drive letter)
  2. principal asset C: start 145,04 GB (NTFS)
  3. active logics E: 78,13 GB (NTFS)
  4 active logical F: 64.25 GB (NTFS)
  5 primary Partition 9.2 GB (no drive letter, the unknown application)

  Then choose a Distro (Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora and OpenSuse - suggestion Fedora will be as close as possible associated with RedHat) that will guide you in the steps to allocate space for Linux.
  I suggest however to remove the disk F in Windows for Linux does not start from resizing all partitions.
  I do not know which works perfectly, but will just take time, and will most probably remain pretty useless drive F.

  If you have valuable data on your device, make sure to save! No software comes with warranty :)
  Last but not least - make 100% sure to create a collection set using the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator before you start the installation of Linux.
  If something goes wrong you have the opportunity to put the unit in factory condition.

  Good luck and keep asking you if you need extra help!

• Satellite L500/013 - how the dual boot of Windows 7 and XP?

  Hello

  I just bougth my first laptop from Toshiba, it comes with Windows 7 Professional pre-installed. Before you start to spend hours on it, I wonder if this can be done:

  (1) I would like to use the Windows 7 Professional 64-bit mode, then

  (2) create the second partition on the hard disk to install Windows XP 32 bit on it.

  I was wondering if this is possible and what is the recommended installation sequence. First thing I need to do is to create the recovery for Windows 7 disk, so I guess I have to configure Windows 7 first of all?

  Thanks for any help
  Thomas

  > The first thing I need to do is to create the recovery for Windows 7 disk, so I guess I have to configure Windows 7 first of all?
  Well, it is highly recommended! Before you do anything with your HARD drive, you must create the recovery disk!

  I m not very well how you can set up a dual boot with Win 7 because I didn't try this, but I did using Vista.
  First you must create a second partition in Vista. This could be done in disk management.
  Then I installed Win XP on the second partition. But after installing XP I could not launch Vista because Vista boot manager was damaged by Win XP.
  To resolve this problem, I used an original disc of Vista (not recovery disc). I started the Vista DVD and it has repaired the Vista Boot Manager. In Vista, I installed EasyBCD.
  EsayBCD is a small tool that allows to add Win XP to the Vista Boot Manager s.
  After the new Vista and Win XP reboot is appeared in the Boot Manager and I could choose between the two BONES.

  I think that you need the same procedure using Win 7
