Dual Boot El Capitan and the Mavericks?
Currently I got a MacBook Pro retina 13inch end of 2013 OS X El Capitan. For various reasons, I need to be able to dual boot my mac with OS X Mavericks (I have to run the suite Adobe CS6 for College) but the same time, I want to be able to keep in front of the new software updates and use cc creative cloud at home, would it possible for me to do this or at least get off at Mavericks? The MacBook is not new, and therefore does not have a warranty so I don't have to worry to invalidate even though I'd like to keep hold of my data.
Thank you
In theory that Macbook can be found on the Mavericks, since it was initially delivered with the Mavericks, but not the same disc:
My guess is that you can try this:
a. make backups of backups backups, TimeMacine at least one backup.
b. connect an empty external drive: Diskutility opened and partition: partition 1: table of Partition GUID and Mac OS extended (journaled).
Run CarbonCopyCloner on your startup disk and clone the boot to the external disk, including the recovery Partition.
Restart after that, while now the Alt (option) key: the startup list will come to the top, choose the newly formed external to start.
If everything works this external:
c. stop the machine again once, start it up while pressing CMD + R + Alt (option): This starts the InternetRecovery partition: choose erase and install the OS (original). This should install the Mavericks.
Restart the mac: it should be in the Mavericks now. Install apps for the Mavericks. Restore your data to user for these applications.
(d) given that both drives are bootable, you can now start all holding the key Alt (option) and choose the one you want.
I'm not really sure that I forgot something, but I'm going to ask some people to enter and contribute. Wait until you are satisfied.

Notes - cannot sync between El Capitan and the Mavericks
Hi guys!
Recently, I decided to recover from the El Capitan to the Mavericks on my MacBook Pro mid-2012 (I had a strange problem with Mac freeze from time to time, especially watching the videos). Unfortunately now I can't synchronize my notes with my other devices - MacBook Air with El Capitan and the iPhone 4S with iOS 9. I guess the reason is that the notes were converted after the latest OS X and iOS update. Is it possible to go back to the old version of notes (before conversion) to see them also on the Mavericks? Now I see that some old notes from prior updates system, whitch is super weird, because I can't see them on El Capitan and iOS 9.
Thanks in advance!

Hello
You can't "flip" with your current account to iCloud.
You must create another Mavericks iCloud only for notes and transfer your notes on this new iCloud account.

Can I dual boot Win7 32 and Win7 64-bit by using the same product key?
Hello
My desktop PC is dual boot with XP and Win 7 Pro 32-bit. Both are retail box versions.
I would replace the partition with Win 7 Pro 64-bit XP. (That I still keep installing Win 7 32 bit legacy hardware that does not work under a compatibility mode).
Can I install and activate the new 64-bit partition by using the same product key, or is that 32-bit installation fail/break?
Thanks for any advice.
No, the key that can be used with 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 is exclusively for use with the disc 1. You cannot use install both. 1 license, 1 installation, so choose wisely.

If you comply with these license terms, you have the rights below for each license you acquire.

The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

Satellite C850 - 19(d) - I want to do a dual boot with Linux and Win 8
Last week I had a Satellite C85O - PSCBWE-03200WGR 19(d)
Yesterday, I try to make a dual boot with Ubuntu.
I do not have a start to boot from USB, or iso CD (same choices as for the Toshiba application), and I did one on the bios:
-Disable secure boot
-Change UEFI CSM support
-SaveOn reboot, I get not Toshiba logo, but a black screen with:
«This product is covered by one or more of the following patents:...» (list of patents...)
Realtek...
PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable
PXE - MOF: Exit PXE ROM
"No boot device - insert boot and press a key.I can't open the Bios again at F2.
Which I recover the system?
Hello
The unit has been pre-installed with Win 8 64 bit right?
Change BIOS setting of UEFI to CSM and disabling secure boot prevent Notepad to start 8 to win!
That's why the device cannot find the boot device and passes to the last option: LAN.
But given that the laptop can not find bootable system via LAN, the error PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable appears.If you want to use a dual boot, you will need to boot into Win 8
Win 8 you must create a partition for installing Linux. This can be down in Win 8 disk management. It must reduce a last partition and have to create new free space available.Now to start installing Linux you need support... you can burn the iso on DVD or a USB bootable Linux. There are a lot of details on the internet how to create these media.
Once you have created the bootable USB key, restart your PC with USB connected.
Press F12 for the boot menu. Now you should see the key USB (if it is bootable!) choose USB and you should be able to install Linux (Ubuntu is great!)Here's a nice page that would provide the statement all step by step!

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. ;)

Dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP
I bought Windows XP Professional SP3 OEM to install on a Windows 7 Professional preinstalled computer. When booting from the CD and start installation I cannot select the partition for installation. If I choose to begin the installation, I guess it starts to install on drive C: and then I get a 'Stop' message that says that it will harm the computer to continue.
Hello
I suggest you first create a boot partition on your Windows 7 and then try to install XP (dual boot).
Follow the steps in this article to do the same.

How can I partition my hard drive for dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP?
I installed Windows 7. How do I get a partition or virtual hard disk the hardrive and then install a different OS, so that I can dual-boot between 7 and XP?
I only know of the VHD, 7 has a "virtual machine" option or is a long process that requires a third-party software?
Not longer than the partitioning of the HARD drive and install XP - actually quite a bit more fast I should think and gives you the ability to move from one OS to the other without having to reboot the machine. You don't need to have enough RAM but... If you find my answer helpful, please click the button "Vote as helpful"! Thank you! My Blog

Dual Boot Win 7 and Linux and using Win 7 in a VM
I just bought a new laptop with Win 7 Home Premium installed. I want to dual boot Windows 7 and Linux and use Win 7 in a VM. What license I need upgrade who will allow me to do?
Ivan.
Well, you can use your current license and install a program from the virtual machine and install your Linux distribution you want in the program of the virtual machine with Windows 7.
You will however need to a Windows 7 full version license.
Buy and download Windows 7 Professional, home sharing files...
Regarding the supported Virtual Machine programs, you can use the following text:

VMware Player;

Original title: Stop: 0 x 05001210
On a Toshiba Portege M700 with Windows XP, I get a BSOD with the following:
STOP: 0 X 05001210 (0 X 00000000, 0 X 00000000, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)
There is no further information on what happened, it just says: a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
I don't know any specs on the system (processor, memory, ect) I was given this laptop from edge of my guy on the ground. I searched and I can't find any info on this Stop error message. It was not a new hardware or software installed on the laptop recently, other than a possible update of Windows, I'm not sure.
Whenever the system is booted it shutsdown and the BSOD right before seeing the screen Ctrl Alt Del to log on. I tried the Safe Mode, Mode safe mode with network and command prompt. Each instance you get to the log in window, but when after entering my info and loggging stop immediately with the same BSOD. I also tried the last good Config known with no luck.
Also, the hard drive is encrypted so I can just shoot and get a backup of it before you try to reinstall the operating system. I have not tried to repair windows, yet, I'm waiting to try other solutions if they are there.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. If you need any other information, just ask and I'll give you everything I can.
Hello Jordan,.
Have you been able to get into the recovery console?
If so, I would recommend running the CHKDSK command of it followed by the Enter key:
CHKDSK C:/P
Let us know.

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 OSMy 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

original title: I have a simple question...
I have Vista 32 bit. I have two hard drives. Vista 32 is on disk 0. (C) I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. I want to change the installation path on Windows 7 64 bit edition updated the software on my second drive, so I can run a system dual boot. Windows 7 Setup will allow me to do? I can use the version upgrade of the software for that, or do I have the full version?
Hello
You can't do what you want to do
32-bit to 64-bit is NOT a upgrade path if you have always wanted to upgrade 32 bit vista
It must be done with a clean install with a final certificate
and you need a full license of windows 7 to install windows 7 on the 2nd hard drive
You can dual boot vista 32-bit and 64-bit windows 7, if the manufacturer of your computer provides windows 7 drivers

Can I install windows 8 pro update on a system dual boot (XP, 7 ongoing) replacing of windows 7, but keep the dual boot ability so that I can run the XP apps that only seem to work on XP?
Can I install windows 8 pro update on a system dual boot (XP, 7 ongoing) replacing of windows 7, but keep the dual boot ability so that I can run the XP apps that only seem to work on XP?
Yes, you can use the installation of Windows 7 to qualify for the upgrade to Windows 8.
You can then install Windows 8 on Windows 7 partition and dual boot with XP.
For reference - if the computer had installed XP you could not dual boot with the help of an upgrade of Windows 8.
In addition, to back up important data before installing a new operating system is recommended.
