• Update Windows XP SP3 on a Dual Boot System w/Vista

  Hello, I have a partition of windows xp and windows vista in my laptop Acer. (Pre-installed Vista and XP as a secondary operating system).
  My questions are:

  > Is it OK to upgrade Windows XP SP2 to SP3 of Windows even, it is placed in a dual boot?
  > Don't install SP3 will be erase all content of Windows XP?
  > Is affected the partition of Windows Vista if I download Windows XP SP3 of XP SP2 Partition?
  > If I download the SP3 for Windows XP in the Microsoft.com site, it needs to be bootable and recorded in a CD or just run the installer from the hard disk automatically after installation?

  Thanks to all in advance!

  You're off topic of the Forum, you have published, which is dedicated to the beta Version of Microsoft Security Esentials

  However, I moved the yoru post.

  You can update to SP3 on a system XPSP2 dual boot Vista residence. You can not install XP * after * Vista for a Dual Boot system unless you use a 3rd Boot Manager part.
  Run the update to SP3 does not erase anything, it updates the XP system components.
  There will be no impact to your Vista installation on your system to dual-boot PC.
  SP3 is an update. It downloads an installation program analyzes your installation of XP and downloads the bits necessary to update to SP3 then install them after you have saved the files it will replace. You should be able to get SP3 easily by going to Windows Update in XP.

• HP ProBook 4520 s - dual boot between Win7 64 bit and Ubuntu 10

  Hello

  I just got my new HP ProBook 4520 s a few days ago and:

  (1) there were 32 bit Windows7 professional pre-installed / pre-loaded

  (2) it comes with the TWO 32-bit and 64-bit Windows7 professional DVD HP (I guess versions OEM HP)

  (3) the HD have 4 partitions in the following order

  score A 3 a) named SYSTEM

  3 (b) the parition where Win7 is installed

  (3 c) HP_RECOVERY partition

  partition HP_TOOLS 3D)

  I did a lot of dual-boot in the past years, but my question is really related to maintain the HP diagnostic tools that arise before even that any operating system is loaded... and diagnostic tools are those of the HP_TOOLS partition. For example, when I ran some diagnostic tests, after completing the tests and the boot of Win7, I see in the HP_TOOLS partition, in one of its directories, a .log file recently updated with the results of diagnostic tests. I want to assure you that I can still run powered on the laptop even after dual-boot diagnostic tools.

  Now, since I have the DVD 32 - bit and 64 - bit, I decided I want to dual-boot between Linux and 64 bit Windows7 professional. So here's what I've done so far:

  (A) has reduced the volume of Win7 Windows computer management disk management

  (B) install Win7 64 bit on top of the existing 32-bit Win7 partition, format this partition during the installation. So no more HP utility and on the installation of 64-bit programs.

  So now I have Win7 64 bit installed and professional pre-activated since it's the same notebook. Then, I realized that I really need to delete the HP_RECOVERY partition since you can have up to 4 primary partitions. So by deleting the HP_RECOVERY partition, I will be left with 3 primary partition, then I can create an extended partition to contain other partitions for Ubuntu, etc...

  But before I delete the HP_RECOVERY partition, I want to know:

  *) When starting, before even that any operating system is loaded, HP you shows options like "Diagnostics" and "recovery". How is the computer HP laptop knows that diagnoses are in the HP_TOOLS partition? How the laptop HP ProBook 4520 s knows that recovery is in the HP_RECOVERY partition?

  *) Since I have the DVD of Win7 HP (32-bit and 64-bit), I don't really have the HP_RECOVERY partition. If I delete the partition, what will happen to this start screen which gives you the possibility of "recovery"? Of course the recovery option won "t work and I don't like, but will remove the partition HP_RECOVERY won't let me boot into Win7, or any OS besides? for example it does not validate there HP_RECOVERY partition to a place before loading Win7?

  *) Then, I want to install Ubuntu, and preferably Ubuntu (or Grub also) overwrites the MBR. I prefer Grub on EasyBCD. I can easily change the configuration of grub so I can dual-boot with Windows7... But again, my question is, where does HP maintains information about diagnostic tools that they are in the HP_TOOLS partition, like the option of the diagnostic tool loading via BIOS before even any OS is loaded. Is that information in the MBR, or is it in the partition named SYSTEM?

  Summary of the questions are therefore:

  (1) where HP keeps its information that diagnostic tools are in the HP_TOOLS partition? It is in the MBR, or the SYSTEM partition, or is it stored in the BIOS hard coded to load more precisely from the location of the partition? I want to keep the ability to run Diagnostics even after you have a dual-boot installation with grub in the MBR.

  (2) deleting the HP_RECOVERY partition will prevent the workbook from loading correctly before moving to Win7, Ubuntu or any other OS?

  Just find the answer to my original question:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c01564727/c01564727.PDF?JumpID=reg_R1002_USEN

  He uses the EFI interface and seeks a partition named HP_TOOLS, which means overwrite the MBR will not affect the operation of the HP diagnostic tools.

• Dual boot Win 7 64 - bit of complications and Win10

  At the present time, I have a dual boot system running Windows 7 and the preview to win 10 (on a separate SSD). Everything works OK.

  I want to install a new motherboard and load a 64 bit version of Windows 7 (new battery).  And... I want to use the SSD for the final version to win 10.

  If I understand correctly, I will have to remove my HD Win7 and win 10 SSD to install the 64-bit versions. I have a DVD 64 bit Windows 7, but I guess I'll have to get a Win 10 ISO.

  I would like to reinstall a large part of my Win 7 backup files and programs for the 'new' 64-bit Windows 7. Then I carefully would focus on files and programs to victory 10 64-bit in the car.

  What is freaking me out, is the vision of key programs does not work with the 64-bit versions. If all goes well, I read that a large number of 32-bit programs running on a 64-bit system.

  With a bit of luck, I have to burn (in TB) storage so I can back up carefully, but that is not good if the stuff saved refusing to work with a different system.

  I'd love a lot of comments on my strategy. I'm too much of a big deal, or it's going to be a nightmare?

  Thank you!

  Kurupa salvation,

  I'll be happy to help you with the problem you have with the computer. I understand the frustration when things do not work as it should.

  If the program is specifically designed for the 64 bit version of Windows, it will not work on the 32-bit version of Windows. (However, most programs designed for 32-bit version of Windows operate on 64-bit Windows version).

  Device drivers designed for the 64 bit version of Windows do not work on computers running a 32-bit version of Windows.

  Please follow the link below to learn more about Windows 32-bit and 64-bit.

  Hope this information is useful. Just reply in case you have any other questions. I'll be happy to help you.

• Windows XP does not start in a dual-boot system

  I have a Windows XP and Linux Mint 10 Julia on separate partitions in a dual boot system. Windows has been installed first, followed by Linux. Initially, the two worked, then, for some reason any I had to reinstall Linux. Now I can't get into Windows.
  I can't enter the recovery by using the Windows CD Mode if that helps.
  GIA

  booting from cd is not always the best way to start an operating system installed on disk 0, for example drive C.

  Yes, the default value for fixboot will always be the first drive to the motherboard, regardless of how many additional hard disks are installed.  It is the way windows is designed to be.  but in all fairness, you can start windows via a USB key with recent technology created by hp.com

  also, if the disk check found a few errors then it means that there are corrupt or missing files.

  so, at the command prompt go ahead and Run fixmbr, fixboot, bootcfg /rebuild and a chkdsk/r

  You can also type help at the command prompt to get the details of the above.

• No its w/WinXP Pro (Dual-boot system)

  I have 4 computer Pentium Gateway w/WinXP Pro and motherboard that has never worked for her so I added a sound card and that worked. Then a friend added a dual-boot system (Ubuntu) and installed the drivers that showed me that the sound of the motherboard works with Ubuntu/Linux, but not for XP. Now I'm stuck change between MB & sound card. How to do his job on my MB with XP? Thank you.

  You still have a problem the appliance in msinfo32?

  What the Manager device, is it still show something in the other devices section?

  Remove the card from its complement and distributed to msinfo32/Device Manager and see if the problem is still there.

  When you reported it as an E-4100, was it of msinfo32 or from another source, such as a label on the case?

  There is a "Download hardware detection' link on the page of the gateway I provided above, what happens if you try to update material from this link?

  You can also try Windows Update as a last resort.

• When you run XP mode USB ports will not accept XP drivers or if they remain Windows 7? Should I really go to a Dual Boot System?

  I am running Windows 7 Professional.  I have a piece of equipment that has only Windows XP drivers, I desperately need to work.  I read up on top of the virtual systems and XP mode.

  When you run XP mode USB ports will not accept XP drivers or if they remain Windows 7? Should I really go to a Dual Boot System?

  You must attach the USB device to Virtual PC XP Mode: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824369

• How should I divide up to a HD so I can dual boot 32 and 64 bit WIN7

  I install WIN7 32 bit and WIN7 64 bit (legally) on the same machine.  I understand that I must do it on a hard drive by creating two partitions.

  We have to be 'active' and a 'logic' I suspect.  Please let me know if this is correct.  I gleaned this info so far from other jobs found here.

• . 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.

• Dual boot Win 7 64 bit and XP Pro 32-bit (win7 installed first)

  How can I set up: dual boot Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and Windows XP Pro 32-bit (Windows 7 installed first)? I have Win7 on a 2 terabyte HARD drive, with another 1 terabytle internal HARD disk and two 1 terabyte external hard drives. I have an Intel Core i7 960 @ 3.20 GHz, 20 GB of RAM. I want to keep Win7 on 2 TB drive and add WinXP on the other 1 TB internal drivw in a configuration dual-boot. The other two drives 1 TB external would be used for backups and data. I would like to be able to boot XP because I have many applications running on XP wothout having compatibility problems.  The two Win 7 and XP are complete versoins. Or that I would be better to try a virtual configuration?

  Are you aware that you can install the free XP mode on your Windows 7 system?  Once installed, you can launch in 15 to 30 seconds as a task under Windows 7 and run your XP applications without having to reboot.  It works fine as long as you can live with the graphics.  The graphics of XP Mode are great for business applications.  This would be my first choice.

  You will probably get the positions, which suggests a way to install XP and then download a program or two and patch in some places.  But for me it's much simpler to just create a small partition of 30 GB and make a 30-minute "quick and dirty" installation of a second absolutely minimal copy Windows 7 in there.  This will get all start after installing XP, if you decide to go this route.  It's not like intelectually sophisticated as more involved patchwork approach, but it is faster and easier.  As my professor of chemistry at first year said "anyone can make things complicated; He needs to make things simple.  I think the professor was very clever!

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  Hello

  If I have my laptop HP G60-114EA, rameau at Christmas would be dual boot it void the warranty?  I would like to start double with Ubuntu Linux.

  Works of | HiddenCSS | Erixx

  If the dual boot your laptop with Linux it is strongy has suggested that you

  (1) replace your hard drive and reinstall your HP operating system since the discs of recovery and then put up a dual-boot configuration with Linux. Keep the original just autour hard disk in case you need to return your laptop for repairs under warranty and you avoiding a chore. The reason of oether to keep the original drive in its state of OEM is the recovery partition will remain blank.

  (3) use a product like Acronis Home Image and create an image that is stored outside of the C and D partitions.

  (2) create a game (or even two) of HP recovery disks.

  Your question seems to be a fairly common for advanced users who have portable computers still covered by a factory warranty. Take a read of this article and this one.  There seems to be no definitive answer to that of a source of the company, unless an employee of HP, reading the forums would be willing to go out on a limb and answer the question.

• Use EasyBCD 2.0 (beta) for Dual Boot systems

  My frustration with the evolution of a XP / XP dual boot to a Windows 7 / XP boot has been resolved in 30 seconds with EasyBCD 2.0. Perhaps, I missed the referemce to a specific level of EasyBCD? This is a beta version, so we need to register (it's free) on the site of neosmart do the download. This version supports an option, when you have Vista OS pre partitions, to create the necessary boot.ini file and copy the NTLDR and NTDETECT.com files required at the root of the Win 7 partition automatically! Suffice to say accept the offered command prompt. So if you have problems with dual boot my recommendation is to search the Forum and the site of NeoSmart areas and download the BETA level. Finally, a happy camper that you can now pass to play with Win 7, while having my old friend XP autour.

  If you want to see an article where I really used EasyBCD wisely then read this:
