• Downgrade from vista to XP pro on Pavilion dv7 - 1247d (need drivers)

  Don't know if you call it without decommissioning, I prefer to call it an upgrade.

  In any case, I need help to find the drivers for this laptop. I did a forum search for my model and found nothing.

  Thanks advance!

  

  Excellent... Thank you Daniel. That MS doesn't have the stuff, but at least it helped identify the wifi card. After the installation of sp39403 the wifi in the device manager card installs other devices - network to network cards controller real but has an exclamation point. Pilot wasn't always right. He has been identified as a series of card Atheros AR5009. I searched and found an updated driver sp42654 (tried to add shortcut HTML) and loaded. Card WiFi immediately started working.

  Success, finally. I think that everything is operational under a best Windows XP Pro instead of Vista.

  Thanks again for your help Daniel.

• Re: Problem of dual boot Win7 and WXP

  I read the complete step by step how to Setup dual boot windows 7 and xp. I have all my partitions has prepared in advance and them labeled accordingly so there is no confusion.

  I installed windows 7 on my new SATA drive. Everything went OK, except that I've never had a start this menu - at 7, it's like Windows XP Home edition was not there.
  I downloaded and installed and ran, easybcd and tried to add the menu WXP manually entry. He asks the drive and the drive with xp on it is now Windows 7, drive D (when E is I boot xp).

  All the necessary files (ntldr, boot.ini, ntdetect.com) are all on this disc. But when I try that menu entry, every computer is restart. It will start again than windows 7, unless I go into the BIOS settings and change the HDD boot order (in this list, if I do that with nr of partition Win7 1, I can boot windows 7 and only this, if I do that with nr of partition XP 1, I get my old regular boot.ini boot menu (what makes me also in my ubuntu wubi installation).)

  I would like to be able to boot in Windows XP Home edition from the Windows 7 start menu, or, Alternatively, to want to boot Windows 7 Startup menu Windows XP Home (what would be even better).

  Are there directions for me?

  Thanks in advance.

  I have more Satellite A300 with two hard drives and I've install WXP and Win7.
  What you need is the Boot Manager. When you start your laptop, you can choose which OS should start, and one of them can be set as default OS so if you n t choose anything after 30 seconds, one of them will start automatically.

  I'm using Win7 OS default.
  > I would like to be able to boot in Windows XP Home edition from the Windows 7 start menu, or, Alternatively, would like > to start Windows 7 from the start menu of Windows XP Home (what would be even better).
  I put t know if something like this is possible. If you want to change your OS, you must restart your laptop and start the second OS.

• Downgrade from vista to XP pro on Pavilion dv3-2005ee (need drivers)

  Hello

  I want to downgrade from vista to XP SP3 because some old games on does not work on vista as Hitman:codename 47 and TheSims... etc.

  Then... I need help to find the driver for this laptop. I did a forum search for my model and found nothing.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Before that we'll start with her, I have something to tell you. Decommissioning of this model is not always easy, and your model is designed to work well with Vista. Please check first that link written by Joshua Wood and concentrate on problems that may appear when you install the sound card in it. I don't know then it's dv5 guide, but a lot of hardware and drivers are the same for both models. It is recommended also by me to print this guide and information on the problems with the sound card.

  First make the Vista backup. Here you have all the information, how do.

  You have a folder with the drivers & programs that can prove very useful after downgrade XP. Copy the folder in C:\Swsetup on DVD Before you format your hard drive.

  Now you need to integrate your drivers Sata (only x 86 drivers) win nLite.

  Here is the guide how to do it and here are AMD SATA AHCI Controller for you. Just unRAR it drivers with winrar.

  Remember, also, that you use the Windows XP SP2 version. If you have not got the version SP2 here you can download this service pack

  and here you guide how to integrate this file with your new system of nLite.

  In this program, you can even burn your new XP cd with this 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 Win7 disk external eSata M4700 accurately

  Because virtualization does not support some devices of HW, I need, I want to dual boot win7 Pro/64 at a (removable) disk external connected to my accuracy M4700 eSATA port.

  eSata means better performance, but the start menu will be happy with a removable disk, i.e. wrong be connected permanently (obviously I does not start the operating system on the disk hard if it is not connected)?

  And legal, is it possible to use the OEM license of operating system provided with the system for that?

  As a question, are the BONES in a Win7 start menu linked to a physical drive on a specific Sata port? IOW, what happens if I move a HARD disk with a bootable partition / volume of the internal Bay (port 0) to an eSATA external enclosure connected to eSATA (port 5) port? The eSATA port is transparent to the Win7 boot loader? Volumes and drive letters remain unchanged and appear perfectly to the operating system on it?

  Hi Benoitm,

  Assuming the M4700 can boot from an external eSATA port, this should be possible. And it should be possible to install on a HARD drive, then put this drive in an external enclosure and start it. Your preferences and your drive letters must be maintained. You can check that your system can boot from a first external HARD disk.

  The Dell license covers only the version of the operating system that is provided with the system. In theory, the dualboot requires two licenses.

• Dual Boot Vista and XP in separate hard drives?

  I currently installed on a hard drive in Vista and I have an extra which is 160 GB I want to install XP on so that I can dualboot both, is it possible?

  Remember that there is no partition in question here.

  The key which makes the task easier is to preformat the drive, assign a disk label (example: WinXP) and then launch the installation.

  Dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives

  I tried to get my computer has a separate hard drive put in place that lets me run Windows XP or Windows Vista. I tried the path of the CMD, but I could do things wrong with that because the news NTLDR appeared much too different info from Vista. Currently, I have deleted this change to the startup configuration. I want to know what I have to do to get these two to be able to boot. I noticed problems similar to mine, but the answer always seems to be a software that would cost me money.

  Thank you

  Tevans95

  Hello Tevans95,

  You cannot install two different operating systems on two different disks. For a dual-boot environment, you must install both XP and Vista on the same drive with different partitions.

  In addition, you must install Windows XP first and then Windows Vista.

  You can check the items below which will give you information on Dual boot.

  Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

  Set up a dual-boot system

  Change the default operating system for startup (multiboot)

  There is no software that can help you to install XP and Vista on different drives.

  Thank you

• How dual boot Vista and Windows 7

  I'm using vista Home premium and want to install windows 7 a.m. premium as a dual boot. If I decide later by far with windows vista and keep only 7 How can proceed?

  Assuming that my OS is windows 7 can I use the same disk of vista on the virtual machine with the same product key.

  Vista and 7 cannot exist on the same partition as a dual boot? How to do it.

  Is ther to disadvantages in dual boot?

  There are no real problems with dual boot if it's Setup corrrectly.

  You need operating systems on separate partitions (readers not necessarily distinct, but definitely separate from the partitions).

  If you uninstall Vista later and it's a copy to the details of the program, then you can install it in a virtual drive using the same product key (but you'll probably need to activate manually).

  Here's how Dual boot Vista with Widows7: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/5166-dual-boot-installation-windows-7-vista.html.

  Although written for other systems, the process to remove a dual boot will work with Windows7 and Vista (although you may need to use the commands and Windows7 disk): http://vistasupport.mvps.org/remove_windows_vista_from_dual_boot_system.htm depending on the situation and that was installed first.

  I hope this helps.
