• Playing the old songs of xp on a pc dual-boot with windows xp and windows 7?

  Hi, I want to play a lot of old titles of games on my pc and I am currently dual-boot with windows xp professional service pack 3 copy OEM and windows 7. I have a spec pc enough modern, but when I log in the windows xp operating system I have no internet which worls fine on the side of windows 7 so I can't update windows xp and cannot install an anti virus directly from the internet, etc. Also, I can not play the old songs that I bought and installed windows xp to. There are various error messages that appear when I try to run a game on the side of windows xp, some speak of ram and some are on the charts? A friend mentioned that it would be that iam running an OEM Version of windows xp, or it might be my ATI Radeon HD 4870 X 2 graphics card and I'd be better off with an NVIDIA card? The main games I'm running are Max payne, Worms 2, Worms Armageddon, Dungeon keeper 2, Sudden strike 2, Rise & Fall, Rise of nations, Starcraft, Dune 2000 and Emperor battle for dune and a few others.

• Satellite L450-171 - Dual boot with Windows 7 and Windows XP

  Hi all
  I bought a Satellite L450-171 with pre-installation of Windows 7. For reasons of compatibility, I installed Windows xp on an another computer partitition.

  But in the marketing, I don't see the two operating systems. I don't see Windows xp.

  Please how can I do to be able to also run Windows 7?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi josedunet_1,

  Normally the start menu where you can change between the two BONES will be created if you install XP first and than Windows 7.

  Now in your case, you need to change the boot sector. Therefore, you can use a tool with GUI like EasyBCD. You can manage it in just a few clicks.
  Check it! ;)

• I am dual-boot between Windows 7 and Windows 8, but fear the time required to start,

  I am concerned about the time it takes my computer to start
  I have a system dual boot with Windows 7 and Windows 8, and it takes several minutes to decide to show me the screen to decide which OS to use, and then it restart and takes some time to start [the chosen OS
  Isn't time that Microsoft has put some of their skills as computers immediately when starting lit instead of focus on trying to outdo all other systems with stuff
  By the way, I have the same comment on the closure, it takes some time to completely close down--another point for Microsoft to put the attention

  Unfortunately, the processor is just at the level of the minimum required. In addition, RAM is 4 GB, in which folder page size will be approximately 8 GB. Norton 360 scans all files prior to execution, even if it's a system file. This is the reason for the delay.

  Try to upgrade the processor and the rest will be solved.

• 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

• Get Win8.1 Pro with Media Center in Dual Boot with Windows 10 Pro

  In December of 2012, I bought a new Dell XPS12 running 64-bit window 8.  Later, I bought "Win8 Media Center Pro Pack" for Windows Media Center.  Later, I upgraded to Windows 10 pro and lost Media Center.  Given that I had a legitimate copy of Windows 8 Pro with Media Center, I would like to re - install in a separate partition.  I was able to clean install Win8.1 in this partition using a flash drive and the MediaCreationTool.  He did not like my product key OEM Win8, and he didn't like my WMC Pro Pack upgrade key, so I installed using a KMS key that is freely available online.

  Clearly, I go about it the wrong way.  I'm happy to start again and install Win8, then upgrade with my pro WMC pack key, but I do not know the mystical incantations necessary to get there.  Since I had legitimately a Pro Win8.1 with instance of Media Center, and I my self Win10 product key after upgrade, I can't imagine that such a dual-boot configuration would be illegal.  Can someone please help?

  Thank you

  Loki

  Hello

  Eventually your 8.1 installation using KMS will be disabled.

  1. cannot use keys hacked to enable long term of Windows, as you will be taken; It's a matter of time.

  2. the key/license Windows product to describe the operating system, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, etc. is absorbed by upgrading Windows 10 during the installation process and becomes an integral part of the active Windows 10 final installation.

  The license qualifying operating system, either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, etc. cannot be used anywhere else, or in a dual boot with Windows 10.

  Kind regards.

• Qosmio X 300-Dual boot with Windows 7

  Any who have tested WINDOWS 7 beta 1 7000 in dual boot on X 300 and my problem is that Relatek is not installed, any solution?

  I n t have tested Windows 7 yet because I think there are too many bugs on it.
  So I'll wait for the final version.

  Regarding your problem with Realtek (I think you mean a missing driver) you need to search the site of the factory.
  I doubt there are already drivers for Windows 7, but a look and good luck!

• Satellite L500/013 - how the dual boot of Windows 7 and XP?

  Hello

  I just bougth my first laptop from Toshiba, it comes with Windows 7 Professional pre-installed. Before you start to spend hours on it, I wonder if this can be done:

  (1) I would like to use the Windows 7 Professional 64-bit mode, then

  (2) create the second partition on the hard disk to install Windows XP 32 bit on it.

  I was wondering if this is possible and what is the recommended installation sequence. First thing I need to do is to create the recovery for Windows 7 disk, so I guess I have to configure Windows 7 first of all?

  Thanks for any help
  Thomas

  > The first thing I need to do is to create the recovery for Windows 7 disk, so I guess I have to configure Windows 7 first of all?
  Well, it is highly recommended! Before you do anything with your HARD drive, you must create the recovery disk!

  I m not very well how you can set up a dual boot with Win 7 because I didn't try this, but I did using Vista.
  First you must create a second partition in Vista. This could be done in disk management.
  Then I installed Win XP on the second partition. But after installing XP I could not launch Vista because Vista boot manager was damaged by Win XP.
  To resolve this problem, I used an original disc of Vista (not recovery disc). I started the Vista DVD and it has repaired the Vista Boot Manager. In Vista, I installed EasyBCD.
  EsayBCD is a small tool that allows to add Win XP to the Vista Boot Manager s.
  After the new Vista and Win XP reboot is appeared in the Boot Manager and I could choose between the two BONES.

  I think that you need the same procedure using Win 7

• Benefits of having two disk partitions; an a small boot with Windows 8, and drive the rest?

  Just got a new computer Asus Cm6870 with Windows 8 and a 2 TB hard drive.

  
  Can anyone think why the manufacturer who has installed Windows 8 created a c: 150 GB (which is half full) and a 1.7 to d: (remains)?  Ease of recovery?  Backup?
  
  I would have preferred a player only, that way my libraries (documents, music, pictures, videos,...), downloads and other data files can be on the same drive.
  
  What would be the downside to having a single disk?
  
  I have an another 3 TB drive that I use for large files of video production and music.  That would be my d:.
  
  Thank you

  Hi Phantomiz,

  Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  According to the description, it seems you want to know about several partitions on the hard drive. I'll be happy to help you with this problem.

  It is not recommended to have the data and files of the operating system on the same partition. It is because if the operating system files are corrupt, your computer go to no start situation. In this scenario, you will lose all the data that you have on your c: drive. Otherwise, if you save your data in the d: drive, you can reinstall the c: drive and your data is safe in the d: drive.

  I hope it helps. If you have any questions about Windows in the future, please let us know. We will be happy to help you.

• Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

  Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

  Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

  My Boot.ini file at this time was:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

  (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

  I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

  He gave me something like:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

  I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

  I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

  I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

  I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

  My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

  Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

  Someone has an idea?

  PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

  Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

  Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

  In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

  In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

  (except I've had the first installation already done).

  Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

  EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!
