• Dual Boot Windows 7 and Vista only boot to Windows 7

  I installed Windows 7 on a new hard drive and Windows Vista has left on the former. When I start the computer it starts with windows 7 automatically and does not give me a choice of boot. The 'C' drive has been renamed had ' by installing and my new drive is labeled 'C', which should have happened?

  Can someone give me idea how to make a choice at startup?

  Try the following in Windows 7:

  Click Start, type: Powershell

  Press enter

  Enter the following command:

  Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {add-AppxPackage-DisableDevelopmentMode-register "$($_.) {"InstallLocation) \AppXManifest.xml"}

  Press enter

  Exit powershell and reboot and you should see a choice to select Vista or Windows 7 at startup.

  If it does not work.

• 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 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

• 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

• Using BCD for dual boot Windows 7 and Linux on two separate hard disks

  Could be read more the real problem before burn.

  Someone wants to BCD of Windows to load * since a brooch * for the ACB or MBR on the operating system on the other drive.

  Unless there is a setting BCD undoc, it cannot manage other partitions on the same physical axis starting it is on.

  Hello

  Method 1:
  Try to disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

  
  Method 2:
  I also suggest that you do the startup repair using the Windows Vista installation disc and check if it works.
  If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.
  a. Insert the installation disc.
  b. restart your computer.
  Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.
  c. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
  Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
  d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
  e. click on repair your computer.
  f. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair

• 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.

• How can I set up to dual boot Windows 7 and XP on 2 separate drives?

  I have a new hard drive and a new DVD Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit upgrade. I want to keep my old hard drive with the ability to work under XP. Can I just install my new drive in any open slot, and then start from my DVD? I'll be able to start on the player of my choice? How does with the marking of the readers? And it defaults to Windows 7 whenever I start my computer? How I will be when you start the disk with XP?

  Hi ohyanet:

  Since you are using a version of 'Upgrade' of Win7 it will assume the license of the prior XP operating system and the Microsoft EULA says that you can no longer use your XP operating system on any computer.  To dual boot with XP'd you need to buy a version "full" of Win7, not an upgrade.  When you install Win7 it will make a copy of XP called Windows.old in your drive (C :) and you can copy the files from it to your new O.S. of Win7, but you will need to re - install all the applications from the original media.)

• After dual boot Windows 7 and Windows 8, get error 0xC004E003 and Windows are not authentic

  Hi, can someone help me with this problem?

But after that I installed Windows 8 dual-boot with Windows 7, Windows 7 not genuine. Office Tournai black screen and it says: "Windows is not genuine". I tried to download Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and installed. Windows transformed in real dos, but they gave me 30 days to activate Windows 7. The computer shop didn't give me a product key. I tried to find a product key with the product key finder applications. After you enter the product key, it said: "The Software Licensing Service reported that license assessment has failed." - error 0xC004E003.
  How should I do?

  You use an Acer OEM slp key on a HP computer.that will not work.

  You will need to purchase an authentic ultimate license and change your key or return to windows, your computer comes with that.
  OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates
