• 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
  -Save

  On 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!)

• 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. ;)

• 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.

• 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 using factory restore DVD

  I have a HP Folio 13-2000, I like a lot

  However, I've been a user of linux (Ubuntu or Mint) for many years.

  I liked the installation of Win 7 64 bit, but he's been hogging my 128 GB SSD.

  To cut a long story short, I screwed up the dual boot installation, (first time!), but at least I have created a series of 3 restore DVD beforehand.

  So, I've been using Mint13 cinnamon and everything is dory hunk, but now I work at the Nepal and the only internet connection I have is a dongle USB CDMA of China Telecom, which works best with Windows.

  So, I installed a 40 GB for Win 7 partition alongside my Linux Mint 15 in a 15 GB partition and tried to do the minimum installation from the DVD, in the hope of having a chance to install in the 40 GB partition.

  I know how to get the boot of Linux back using Rescatux.

  But I could see that he had no other choice, and Win 7 was going to wipe the entire disk.

  Fortunately, I removed the external cable of DVD and has managed to reconstruct my Mint boot 13 again.

  I don't want to delete and reinstall my Linux Mint13 as it works very well and is perfectly up to date, and there are a lot of files in the host partition is.

  So, how can I do a restore factory, without this reformatting all partitions?

  Hi Slackbladder,

  I strongly recommend that you copy the recovery on an external disk partition before you try that. I'm not aware of what specifically happens when you try it. An interesting thing is that in the HP BIOS, there is no option to turn on or turn off EFI mode.  If the partition is big enough it can work.

  Best regards

• 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.

• 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.

• Dual boot win xp and win vista

  I use a computer with 2 partitions on my hard drive.  The first one has vista 64 bit on it... I would install xp 32 bit on my 2nd partition to create a system dual boot, but everything I find says to install the oldest operating system first.  When I tried to install win xp to Windows vista, it wouldn't let me.  Then when I tried to boot from the xp disk, the installation blue screen came, but after loading drivers, he jumped a blue screen (the one which means that your computer has crashed) whenever I tried.  How to install xp now?

  Vista is the 1 MS OS where you do not have to install the OS (XP) more older 1st in a dual-boot.
  But, in a dual boot XP remove Points of Vista all the restoration.

  http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm

  Read the Guide.

  Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

  If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

• Dual-booting Win XP Pro SP3 - best practices of size Partition

  Hello. I want to create a dual-boot installation, both using Win XP Pro SP3 on a large hard drive while having an extended partition available for data. I expect in the next two years, going to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro. Put the two primary partitions to 20 GB enough or should I go ahead and do 40-50GB each in preparation for a future upgrade. Thank you!

  20 GB is too small to install and run Windows 7 well.  I'd go with 40 to 50 GB. Boulder computer Maven

• 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.

  https://www.VirtualBox.org/wiki/downloads

  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.
