• Dual-boot windows 8 and windows 7

  Hello

  I bought a new laptop and installed windows 8 that comes with built-in IE10. Now, the problem is that I can't connect to my office website which is a citrix xenApp and corresponding Server client receiver/plugin(which I downloaded from Internet) is not to connect to the server. It is clear that most of the people are facing in citrix Windows connectivity problems with IE10 8.

  I would like to install Windows 7 OS running as a virtual machine with Windows 8 is the Base OS.

  Is this possible?

  or

  I found results than the decommissioning of IE10 in IE9 on windows 8 (which come built-in with IE10) is impossible. But under the menu Tools-> Developer tools, IE9 with compatibility mode could be used on windows8 for citrix connectivity.

  Clarify what citrix receiver responds better to the citrix (remote) server under windows OS with IE10.

  Waiting for your answer... Answer me as soon as POSSIBLE.

  Yes, it is very possible, you can install a Virtual Machine like Virtual Box or VMware Player free utility and install a licensed copy of Windows 7 in there.

• VMware VS Dual boot for diferent two OS

  I'm sandbox with Planning, Essbase and HFM on a new machine, that I ordered... The machine is an intel I7 3610QM smart Passmark @ 8442... that has hyperthreading 8 GB of Ram and a 750 GB hard drive. comes with Windows 7
  
  I have not had much luck with the VMware all... I try VMware workstation 9 and other virtual mahcines... with not much luck... then my thought process is to define a dual booting with an operating system - Windows 7 and and other OS for my sandbox by using server 2008r2

• Pavilion dv6t-7000 failed to create a virtual hard drive for a dual boot Windows 7 / windows 8

  Hi, I just bought this system, a Hp Pavilion dv6t-7000, Enterntainment CTO notebook PC.  I want to take the amount of space between the C drive and create a virtual hard disk.

  Disk 0 is severed as follows:

  System:

  199 MB NTFS; Primary partition, Active system

  C: 678.60 GB NTFS; Boot, page file, crash dump, primary Partition

  D recovery: 21,53 Go NTFS; Healthy primary partition

  HP_tools 108 MB Fat 32; Healthy primary partition

  I would take 50 GB on C: and create a virtual hard disk to install windows 8 to have a dual boot system.  Can someone point me to a credible link that describes how do this or share the solution?  I tried a process described in TechRepublic where you create a virtual hard disk, and then start on Windows 8, shift f10 in an admin window and try to use diskpart select vdisk file that does not exist, that is to say, I'm not.

  Is there anything else I need to do?  I can do this via disk management?

  Thanks much for any info.

  I found this process is here.

  It seems similar to the process of the technology of the Republic, but it has a few key differences. Give the TechNet process a try it may work because of the extra steps, he has.

• Windows 7 - how? -Virtual Machine, Dual Boot

  I used Windows 8 until yesterday, but I decided to upgrade to Windows 7, because it was recommended and it supports all the necessary software that we use.

  I have a virtual machine was a natural choice, but then I struggled with my COM port that did not appear in the virtual computer's Device Manager. I'm desperate

  and almost tried a dual boot, but double boots, you are supposed to install the oldest operating system first! It would mean having to completely uninstall Windows 8.1.

  Am I missing something here? What is the best way to get Windows 7 running on my laptop so I can use the COM ports and use SSH to connect to Hugues paurais?

  Thanks for reading,

  Kevin

  I use Windows 7 on an iMac using Parallels.  It works fine for me.  I do not use the COM ports.  You don't need a com to ssh port.  SSH uses the network, not a serial port.  I think one of the videos showed how to use a com port for your installation of the NIC program.  You don't need to do.  You can get the network IP configuration using a HDMI monitor and a keyboard.

• How to install a dual boot on my laptop system. There the Vista license on it, I'll buy a disc of windows 7 retail of the school?

  How to install a dual boot on my laptop system. There the Vista license on it, I'll buy a disc of windows 7 retail school, also I want to use vmware or virtual box to have windows 7 Windows 7 for experimentation (because in to school for computers). So, how can I configure my computer to ask what os I want to run from the black screen and I have 7 on a virtual machine to play with and what having a vdi with my os to travel around with on a USB?

  Please see the following article with useful information about dual-boot:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/can-I-have-more-than-one-operating-system-on-my-computer-multiboot

  You will not be able to virtualize Windows 7 because the license would be already physically license on the host on a partition.

  Another question, you must make sure that the copy of that school license is not an upgrade. You cannot install an upgrade on a partition or a virtual machine.

• 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

• Dual-boot a Satellite A660-18 - BSOD install Win XP

  I recently bought the laptop above for use on astro photography.
  A lot of the software I use is 32 bit and XP to use so I thought that I could set up a dual boot on the laptop using Win 7 64 bit OS (pre-installed) for processing in CS5 after that I captured the images using XP Pro 32 bits of the image.

  I use XP Pro 32 bit to control the astronomical mount follow-up and to capture images of the Canon DSLR as they won't work on a more recent OS and most certainly will not work on 64-bit and will not work in compatibility or any virtual box modes.

  I started by cutting the main 50 GB partition and creating a new 50 GB partition to install XP Pro on and then tried to install XP Pro from the CD on the new partition. The initial back based races common installation ok with loaded drivers from the CD, but until the installation either by selecting the partition to install XP Pro system stops with a BSOD and I can only turn off the laptop.

  I would be grateful pointers for getting this working to dual boot, I realize that some of the features of the laptop will probably be lost under XP Pro but I don't need of work for you USB ports connect to external equipment to control system astro and then I can reboot in win7 OS.

  Best regards

  > Based initial backs racing common installation ok with the drivers loaded from the CD, but before the installation is by selecting the partition to install XP Pro system stops with a BSOD and I can only turn off the laptop.
  Please use the forum search option and search of SATA drivers and the installation of Win XP.
  There are a lot of discussions about this...

  The point is that new notebooks need driver SATA to reinstall the OS.
  Win 7 already includes new drivers SATA but Win XP doesn t.

  The SATA driver is part of the Intel Storage Manager you can download this from Intel page too.

  I used the program nLite to build a new Win XP CD that contains the SATA driver.

• Dilemma of dual boot Win XP SP3 Pro and Windows 8 Pro

  At this time, April 2013, I expect to build a desktop system dual boot with Windows 8 Pro for the current and future capabilities and Win XP Pro for continued use of legacy aps favorite who will not run on Win8. It turns out that the disc formats are a problem. The Win8 64 bit needs a partition format GPT to install 32-bit XP or XP Pro needs a format MBR partition to install. No OS will share the same format and a main drive cannot be formatted and partitioned in a type of format or the other. What to do? !! Two computers are not an acceptable answer; I want a 'box '. In addition, not interested in XP Mode embeded in Win8 or 'virtual machine '. One suggestion has been to run the operating system on separate disks. For me, this means that 2 SSD is to get performance on the two operating systems. Also, to move from one OS to another, you must restart; catch the key bios entry; change the boot sequence; Save/quit; and reboot. (Awkward!). So what to do with the data and documents - one NAS file storage (for example, disk WD Live 'cloud')? There's good news to have? Are there recent usability solutions to help solve the dilemma of the dual boot? A boot manager will really help and there a good "gift" there Boot Manager? Thoughts, anyone?

  I have a custom system DIY mb Gigabyte Z77, processor i7-3770, running a fresh XP Pro SP3 Edition Builder.

  The drive letter is not critical since XP, Windows 8 will still start as C: (even if the partition is Z: in Windows XP).

  I pre-formatted Windows 8 partition before installing Windows 8 (named volume: Windows 8).

  Then, when you reach the screen "Where install" during the installation of 8, choose the partition of Windows 8.

  You can view other things is the BIOS, look for compatibility / legacy mode option.

• 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...

• Problems with the installation of Win 7 on a dual boot Win 8 computer

  I recently bought a new all-in-one computer with an operating system of Windows 8.  However, I have a program that should be used on a daily basis for which a version of Win 8 is not yet available.  I bought a copy of WIn7 and partitioned the terabyte of hard drive with the intention of installing Win 7 in the new partition and the dual boot of the computer.  However, when I try to install Win 7 from the installation disc, it error with an error message that says in order to restart the installation.  No matter how many times I reboot, the error message occurs at the same point - a few seconds after the message appears saying that the temporary files are copied.  What is the problem?

  Of new computer models that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no support for Windows 7 and there is no native driver Windows 7.

  In addition, when you install older versions in a dual-boot configuration, you must install the older version of Windows (Windows 7), then first 8 windows.

  I recommend to install your Windows 7 in a virtual machine program and use the program here:

  You can use alternatives such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player.

  Or you can upgrade to Windows 8 Pro and turn on the built in Hyper-V that you can use to run Windows 7.

• Guide to dual boot XP and Windows 8

  Hey guys!

  My boss recently bought a desktop computer of Windows 8 for the work.  Unfortunately, our program of irrigation works on Windows XP and that they do not plan to update the systems more recent.  I have tried everything by running it on Virtual Box to run the program in compatibility mode, and I get errors more than anything else.  I thought the best way would be just to get a license of Windows XP and the dual-boot, to not voiding the warranty.
  And here I am... What do I do now?
  Thank you
  Danny

  Hello Danny,

  Most recent PC running Windows 8 have EUFI the BIOS. To ensure fast works with BIOS EUFI inherited from start start is disabled by default. You can dualboot activating inherited from startup in the BIOS "but" the PC manufacturer dislikes do you that and if it's something as a manufacturer of my laptop, Samsung, you will be immediately void your warranty.

  First thing I would contact the PC manufacturer to see if the dual boot will actually void your warranty. If so then you and only you take the risk that the manufacturer will not just want to know. If the warranty is not affected then the manufacturer can tell you how to activate the legacy BIOS.

  Once the legacy Bios is enabled, you will need to create a new partition that will contain the Windows XP operating system. You also need to know if the manufacturer has drivers relevant to the XP operating system so that everything will work properly. If no driver is available, then you will have problems with the XP installation.

  Installation of Windows XP is no different to the installation of any version of Windows. Just remember that XP must be installed on the partition that you recently created. If you don't it will install on the C: drive and too write your Windows 8.

  The next major hurdle is to get the two to work. Because Windows 8 is already installed, you have a problem with the start menu. Plan technical XP must be installed first, then Windows 8 - obviously this sis something you can't do. Because XP is based on a file boot.ini and Windows 7/8 rest of the GPedit file, you will not be able to immediately run Windows 8. When you restart you will simply boot directly to Windows XP. To change the start option, I suggest that you take a look at this link: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1680664/dual-boot-windows.html#. In particular pay attention to this post by WinOutreach2 (May 24, 2013).

  Personally, I have a feeling you might have problems with your warranty and also the difficulties to get XP drivers for your hardware, so you can easily solve your problem in the way that you want.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Dual boot Windows 8 on Windows server 2008 R2

  Original title: I have brought asus X 202

  I have brought asus X 202 that comes with windows 8 and I need double OS to run on it(windows_server_2008_R2).can I install it?

  When dual-boot with older versions of Windows, the earlier version (this case Server 2008 R2) must be installed first.

  I personally recommend that you run Windows Server 2008 R2 through a virtual computer program:

  You can use alternatives such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player.

• Installing Oracle ERP 12.1 on Dual Boot PC

  Hello

  I would like to know if we can install Oracle E-Business suite on PC with dual boot / operating (Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003) on separate rather than guest, operating system installation partitions using Oracles Virtual Box. Please give me some feed back.

  Kind regards

  Massoud

  I read on many forums that 4 GB is sufficient if ERP is installed on the single user/single PC. Another OS 32-bit read only up to 3 to 3.5 GB of RAM. What are my options with 32 bit OS to increase the RAM.

  Yes, 4 GB would work for your personal use and you manage to run a forum 12.1 with this amount of memory. That's not counting the amount of memory required for the operating system.

  Thank you

  Hussein
