  The easiest way is to use the DualBoot Pro.  He has the tools to write the necessary code automatically.  It is excellent for managing the tasks you want to do.

  However, you have a potential license problem.  Even if your Dell has the exact code in the BIOS to activate the copy of Windows on the hard drive of your wife, the computer is only allowed for an OEM copy.  If Dell is back after repairs then you should be OK once you have turned on the hard disk in his computer of your wife. You can delete the entry of additional start with DualBoot Pro menu,

• How to create a dual boot with Vista installed on my Satellite U400?

  Hello

  I just bought a U400 - 17 H with vista installed on the HARD drive. I would like to create a dual boot with XP Pro.

  I have only a drive HARD aleady with 2 partitions (1 for vista) + 1 for data.
  I want to cut the partition vista in two 2 pieces to install XP Pro.
  At the end I'll have 3 partitions 1 vista (65 MB), 1 xp (65 MB) and 1 data (125 MB).

  Is it easily to create a new partition ok (I guess only on vista)
  but is there a program dedicated to install another OS and create a dual boot.

  Please help me because I like many things the other way around. I'm sure it's possible, but what are the right process to have at the end of two BONES and the choice at the start of the laptop

  Thank you

  Hello!

  Create a new partition for Windows XP and install it. There is no problem.

  After that, you need to restore the Windows Vista boot loader. You can do this with EasyBCD. Install and start the program.
  Go to the tab "Add/Remove entries". You will see that there is only one option available in the bootloader of Vista at the moment. In the "Add an entry" section, replace the drive in the menu drop-down of C:\ E:\. Change Type "Windows NT / 2 k/XP / 2 k 3" and the name of "Microsoft Windows XP". Then click on 'Add an entry' and 'save '.
  Then go to the "Manage Bootloader" tab make sure "Reinstall the Vista Bootloader" is selected, then click on "write the MBR.

  Now you can restart the laptop and you should have a full system dual boot to work.

  Good bye

  > Satellite Pro L40 - how to make a dual boot with two recovery disks?
  Short answer: you can't do that. Maybe if you have two hard disks (I tried didn't) but as much as I know your SP L40 has only one.
  Ask this smart guy, how to do this. Maybe it's a useful tip.

• Dual boot Windows vista 32 bit with win 7 64 bit

  Is it possible to dual boot

  Windows Vista Business 32-bit
  with
  Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
  I do not want I want to have two operating systems
  Now, I have a 25 GB Partion ready for Windows 7, I only have Vista currently.
  Apparently XP32Bit can dual boot with win7 64-bit but can vista 32 bit?
  There will be problems with a Dual Boot Vista/Win7?

  Hello

  You must ensure that 64-bit Windows 7 drivers are available from the manufacturer of your computer for all the hardware, or it will not work properly.

  And is the same for your printer, etc.

  Read this tutorial on dual boot them, including system requirements:

  See you soon.

  p.s. We need a full license of Windows for two operating systems, as upgrade does not here apply.

• Reinstall Vista as a dual boot with Win 7 RC...

  My HP came with Vista Home Premium installed. After installation dual boot with Win 7 RC in which I had a ton of problems to get the partitions of size equal. I messed up my install Vista, so I deleted it and began around and after much trial & error, I got Windows 7 on my HD and a partition configured for Vista but I'm afraid when I install it I would lose the Windows 7 install because the discs I have are for recovery and said this would erase and reformat the HD to make new factory. Did I lose the partition?

  Using the HP Windows Vista Recovery disks will restore your hard drive to its original factory configuration.

  If Windows 7 RC1 is installed, it will disappear after using the recovery discs.  I recommend you

  installing a second hard drive and install Windows 7 RC1 on it.

• Dual boot XP/Vista laptop. Network works under XP; not in Vista

  I installed Vista business on a XP Dell Latitude E5500 as a dual-boot configuration. Everything works just like in XP. But, when I boot with Vista, cannot access any network. It is not one of wifi connections. Watch 'drivers not installed for this device' (Vista) Device Manager for all network devices such as wireless and Ethernet card. If I find drivers for vista for these devices and install them, it won't solve the problem? Will this affect my XP somehow?

  Thank you

  Sam

  You need the Vista drivers.
  The operating system XP and Vista are two separate operating systems in a dual boot.

  http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx

  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > find the latest Vista drivers for it, if they are available > download/install the.

  You will probably need to use XP to download/save the as you will not have a link with Vista > download / save drivers > transfer / install it in Vista.

  http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/DriversList.aspx?c=US&l=en&s=GEN&ServiceTag=&SystemID=LAT_E5500&OS=WLH&OSL=en&CATID=&impid=

  Vista 32-bit drivers are available for the Dell link above...

• Sierra takes in dual boot with Boot Camp? Laminated through 25 pages. Did not direct discussions or responses.

  Installation of Microsoft Windows need to run Microsoft 'Access', which is not available to OX. Until I try to install OX 10.0.2 does anyone know if it supports the dual boot with BootCamp or similar? Thank you!

  Boot Camp creates a Windows partition on the internal disk and allows the computer to be switched between Mac OS X and Windows, but not to have two OS running at the same time. make products such as VirtualBox.

• 24 b017c: 24 - b017c dual boot with Win7 possible?

  The b017c is capable of running WIN7 pro in anyway shape?

  I really need to do a system dual boot with WIN7 If Yes.  WIN10 is not be nice to some specific software Attorney that I need to have to work for a client. Win7 is the latest OS, this software is compatible with before an upgrade of expensive software can't be compatible with Win8 or higher (we're talking $1000-2000 range).

  I tried to install WIN7 on this computer after the partitioning of the disk space, and put out several settings in the bios (I had error btw), but WIN7 keeps hanging in the first screen after loading the drivers (language selection screen). Something happens where ports USB closing killing all connections to the mouse and keyboard. I have tried many changes in the bios settings and a retry of the WIN7 Installer (from an installation disc) but no dice.

  Is there a certain combination of settings that must be disabled in the bios to get the win7 Installer right or I'm screwed?

  Thanks for any help

  What an adventure!

  As you discovered, you must completely format the drive as one or the other (GPT or MBR).  You cannot format a GPT partition and the other in the MBR.

  I wonder if you had back and disabled the legacy mode, if W7 would let you install on the GPT - or partition if the disabling legacy mode would also have permitted secure boot.

  In any case, it's water under the bridge.

• Can I do a dual boot with Windows 7?

  After taking all the precautions I can think to install Windows 7 on my wifes laptop. Drive recovery system, backups (2 DVDs) and an image I did more than 6 DVD.

  I thought why not only reduce the Vista Partition, install Windows 7 in the created partition and run Windows 7 to see if it will work on the laptop (gives me time to straighten out things so that my wife can always use). Then remove the Vista Partition. If the laptop was mine would just reformat the dang thing and deal with what it goes down from there.

  Then there is the Question of what to do about the EISA (recovery Partition)?

  Hello!

  Of course, you can install Windows 7 and do a system to dual-boot with Windows Vista... Why not? ;)

  As you have already said if Windows 7 works well on your laptop (I put t know which model you have exactly) you can remove Vista and use the old partition to store data or to include a new in the Windows 7 partition.

  The hidden partition do you mean isn't the Toshiba recovery partition! It is a feature of Windows.
  You can remove this partition you don t he most needs.

  In addition, with the Toshiba Recovery disk, you are on the safe side. If you don't want Windows 7 you can go to Vista (factory settings). :)

  Good bye

• How to remove XP pro to accidental dual boot with XP Home

  I had to reformat my wife's computer.  It is a store brand AMD athlon 2500 with 2 GB of ram.  It came with a copy of XP Home recovery disk.  I wanted to create a second logical drive on the computer to store the data, but the recovery disc can not do this.

  I used a copy of XP Pro I have to format the hard drive in 2 logical drives here but he installed XP Pro as well.  It is not allowed for this machine.  I thought I would install XP Home Edition from the recovery disk and it would be more to write XP Pro, but it didn't.

  Now I have a dual boot with XP Pro and XP Home, I want to keep I want to delete.  It appears after the MESSAGE that there is an option for home or similar to a GRUB menu Pro.

  I note in 'My Computer' C: WINDOWS and watch WINDOWS.0 I guess que.0 is the installation of Pro as it happened first.
