• Dual boot Windows Vista and Windows 8

  Hello world

  I'm having the following problem: I had Windows 7 as primary OS (C drive) and then installed Windows 8 (on drive D) that is of dual boot. Everything was working fine until I decided to remove Windows 7 from the drive C. I have formatted the drive using Acronis Disk Director 11. After the reboot, the computer was not bootable. I had a reistallation DVD of Vista and installed. Now, I have Windows Vista on C and Windows 8 for D drive that is not bootable. My question is how to get rid of Windows 8 without having my computer starts plu?

  Thanks in advance,

  Peter

  Hello

  try to start your computer in safe mode on Vista and remove windows 8 in d ' training of formatting it and check if the problem is resolved.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  If you still have the sam e problem then see below

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  See you soon.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista repair disc.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  There is not a disk of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  You can save your data in Mode safe, ifit loads correctly.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  You can only do a upgrade repair facility if the Service Pack on the Vista DVD is not lower than the SP installed, in your case you have installed SP2.
  DVD SP level. must be the same or higher to be able to do a repair installation.
  Your DVD must be SP2

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Unless you do regular backups, nothng is guaranteed re data.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

• DUAL BOOT WINDOWS VISTA HOW TO LEAVE A KEY FOR A PAVILION HP P/N F9J18UA DRIVE IF IT IS POSSIBLE.

  THE HP PAVILION P/N F9J18UA HAS A RECOVERY PARTITION ON A 500 GB HARD DRIVE. CAN I STILL INSTALL MY WINDOWS 8.1 THROUGH MY RECOVERY PARTION TO THE 2ND PARTITION ON THE HARD DISK THAT IS SHARED WITH A 216 GB AND GB 206 PARTITIONS, AND WHICH ALREADY HAS VISTA ON PARTITION 1 AND THE RECOVERY PARTITION ON THE 3RD PARTITION EARLIER UNDER SILENCE OF ABOUT 75-80 GB?  NOTE: THE HARD DRIVE IS 500 GB W/3 PARTITIONS TOTAL.

  Hi @oz0921

  I saw your post on the use of the recovery partition to install Windows 8.1 on a partition on the same computer. Unfortunately, this won't work as the recovery would target the entire hard drive and format it. To try this you need an installation CD for Windows 8.1.

  I ordered the drive to restore HP for $ 16 and I have no problem in my OS with this disk recovery. Recovery partition that came with my laptop had this error 1002 and he really tortured than me. It is recovered successfully with this new disc of recovery with on all issues.

  I would have saved a lot of time, would not have had any stress and restore ($16) if HP disks price had built the free bug recovery partition.

  I'll be very careful in buying HP products in the future.

• I am unable to boot into windows vista 32-bit, so I downloaded the vista recovery disk and get an oxo error code what it means?

  Windows recovery disc 32-bit error code meaning version question

  Hello
  I hope someone can help me. I am unable to boot into windows vista 32-bit, so I downloaded the vista recovery disk and get an oxo error code what it means (thanks in advance)?

  You don't give any info on what was the original problem with the computer.

  You have set the Bios Setup to boot from the CD/DVD drive?

  At startup, it will say press F2 or delete key to go into Bios/Setup, or maybe F12 to go to the Start Menu.

  And have you tried also to tap F8 at startup and choose Safe Mode from the list of Boot Options?

  Use up arrow key to do this, press on enter.

  Browse your Hard Drive manufacturer's website, download software from here and test your hard drive for errors.

  See you soon.

• I have win 98se, win xp sp3 and Windows vista 64 bit, I want to share printer files

  I have win 98se, win xp sp3 and Windows vista 64-bit PCs, and I want to share files & printer... printer is connect in xp or 98se, well, what is possible... currently, I've got these between vista and xp, which is available when win 98se involved?

  Two ways are participatory computers in a windows environment, a working group and a _.   You can fill in the blank?

  Virtual private networks have little to do with the domains or working groups.

  I don't think that WIndows 98 can join to a domain.  All versions of WIndows, you mention should be able to participate in a working group, however.

  In my opinion, the best way to share a printer is to use a printer connected to the network

• Installed Windows 7 64 bit - 4 GB / 3 GB usable, whereas with Windows Vista 64-bit - 4 GB usable

  Hello
  I have the Asus N70SV B1.

  Specifications: (http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Multimedia_Entertainment/N70Sv/#specifications)

  No problems with Windows Vista 64 bit, recognizing the 4 GB of RAM. After the upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit 4 GB installed / usable RAM problem / 3 gb. I also checked the following.

  1. I am running windows 7 64 bit, NOT 32 bit, I wouldn't be able to run Adobe After Effects® CS5.5 and Adobe first® Pro CS5.5 elsewise.
  2. the unusable 1 GB of RAM is not used by the operating system, it's hardware reserved
  3. the video card Nvidia GT 130 m 1 GB, shouldn't need that RAM - it certainly didn't on the factory installed Windows he dedicated RAM.
  4. I tried disabling and enabling msconfig - boot - Max memory settings, no option solves the problem.
  5. He has no option of memory in the BIOS settings to disable the cache in memory / memory the occultation.

  * I had to use the 64-bit of Windows Vista sound drivers work correctly with Windows 7 64 bit. So I thought that the version of bios or Vista 64 bit can thus solve the problem usable 4 / 3 gb.

  * Yes, I have flashed the bios to Windows Vista 64-bit and that still does not solve the problem. Although the system seems faster, it still shows only 3 GB usable.

  There should not be a problem with this bios version seen only with the 64 bit Vista OS recognized all 4 GB.  I am confused and have no idea where to go from here.

  Please help.

  Hi @Kaiser3107,

  Welcome to the HP Support forum.

  I understand that you have a HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer that connects three thin devices via the USB port, but you can not perform a wireless installation on a fourth device, equipped of Windows Vista 32-bit, because the PC does not detect the printer via the USB port. I would like to help with that.
