• Dual-boot a Satellite A660-18 - BSOD install Win XP

  I recently bought the laptop above for use on astro photography.
  A lot of the software I use is 32 bit and XP to use so I thought that I could set up a dual boot on the laptop using Win 7 64 bit OS (pre-installed) for processing in CS5 after that I captured the images using XP Pro 32 bits of the image.

  I use XP Pro 32 bit to control the astronomical mount follow-up and to capture images of the Canon DSLR as they won't work on a more recent OS and most certainly will not work on 64-bit and will not work in compatibility or any virtual box modes.

  I started by cutting the main 50 GB partition and creating a new 50 GB partition to install XP Pro on and then tried to install XP Pro from the CD on the new partition. The initial back based races common installation ok with loaded drivers from the CD, but until the installation either by selecting the partition to install XP Pro system stops with a BSOD and I can only turn off the laptop.

  I would be grateful pointers for getting this working to dual boot, I realize that some of the features of the laptop will probably be lost under XP Pro but I don't need of work for you USB ports connect to external equipment to control system astro and then I can reboot in win7 OS.

  Please use the forum search option and search of SATA drivers and the installation of Win XP.
  There are a lot of discussions about this...

  The point is that new notebooks need driver SATA to reinstall the OS.
  Win 7 already includes new drivers SATA but Win XP doesn t.

  The SATA driver is part of the Intel Storage Manager you can download this from Intel page too.

  I used the program nLite to build a new Win XP CD that contains the SATA driver.

• Accidentally deleted Windows 7 during the attempt to dual boot with Ubuntu

  Dear Sir/Madam,

  Service number: ADMIN NOTE: maintain the label removed by privacy policy >

  In trying to dual boot my system with Ubuntu, I accidentally erased Windows 7 during the partition. I bought my system used in a store and now I need a way to get Windows 7. I don't want to pay too much for the support. I talked to a Dell technician and they said for security systems that they charged $120 for each case. I don't know how true it is or if there are exceptions. I'm not quite willing to pay $120 for support, because I paid only about US $300 for the system. If I were asked to pay US $120 for it, I might as well buy a new one right? It is not that I am not willing to pay for support, but if the charge is a significant percentage of the value of the system, I am not prepared to pay for it.

  Any help you can give me in this regard will be highly appreciated.

  Thank you

  You can try Windows 10 TH2 by yourself... If you like it then you don't need to pay Windows 7 media and/or to obtain from an unofficial source.

  There are always positive and negative comments on versions of Windows. Windows ME, Vista and 8 in particular had the worst critics... In my opinion Windows 10 is a good successor to Windows 7 (Windows 8 was not).

  If you don't like it then you can get the DVD on eBay. The restorediscs is probably just copied a DVD to reinstall Dell Windows 7 send. There are debates or no eBay or these sources media buy is authentic or not. The license is tied to the Windows 7 COA affixed to your computer, so from a technical point of view it does not matter where you get the installation media.

  This stop error 7 b means THAT XP needs SATA drivers during installation. Since the AHCI is enabled in the BIOS

  If you don't see that before installing XP, this means that the hard drive is not accessible (because you have no drivers SATA on the XP CD). XP Setup does not see the hard drive. So, it can not install XP

  (Probably) the only way you're going to get SATA in XP drivers, is if integrate you the SATA drivers with something like Nlite

  Or you could turn off the AHCI in the BIOS. Only prob here tho, since Win7 is installed, we need to be activated to support SATA.

  Another thing you could do is the XP installation mode, if its Win7 Pro.

  And typically you are installing the first OS (XP), then later (Win7). Not the other way around

  Also keep in mind XP will see 3.5 GB of ram. Since its 32 bit and only supports 3.25 to 3.5 GB of ram

• Tecra A11 (PTSE1A - 00L 005) - Dual boot with XP and Windows 7

  Just bought a new Tecra A11 computer laptop running WIN7 Pro. Then downloaded and installΘ_ * virtual XP Pro * _ but not happy with the results that a lot of things he can do my other dual boot 17 "computer laptop with Vista/XP Pro will do.

  Background
  There are 3 partitions on the HARD disk
  1. active primary recovery 1.46 GB (without drive letter)
  2. principal asset C: start 287 Gb
  3 primary Partition 9.2 GB (no drive letter, the unknown application)

  Can I partition the C: drive in sectors 2 X 145 GB and make the new partition _ * assets * _NTFS?

  When I tried to install Xp Pro on another machine current Win7 partitioned as shown above, it 'blue preset' at the point of loading Xp using the RAID SATA CH8M-E charge via my USB FDD controller. Is it because this SATA driver is not current?

  What is the correct SATA driver?

  Does anyone know for sure that this machine will operate in dual boot Win7/Xp Pro?

  Any help much appreciated

  Peter

  Yes, you can dual-boot two versions of Windows.

  What you do is:

  Create recovery discs just in case something happens.
  Retractable C: drive at half the size.
  Create a new partition NTFS for XP.
  Download the driver for the controller SATA F6 www.intel.com
  Copy the SATA drivers on a floppy disk
  Boot from your XP (must have SP2 or SP3 slipstreamed) disc, press F6 when you are prompted to use the SATA driver on the floppy drive (to avoid the BSOD 0x0000007B)
  Configure the installation of XP to install on the partition that you created.

  When you restart, XP may have taken over and ignore Win7.
  In this case, you can restore the Win7 boot loader using EasyBCD (google is your friend)

  If the BIOS has an option of SATA controller Mode, simply activate the IDE Mode instead of the SATA driver.

• Dual-boot on Satellite A300 - 21 H

  Hello

  I'm trying to dual boot this machine with Windows XP Home edition as a second operating system. The drive is already partitioned and ready to take the bone, but when the machine is started with the xp cd it will get only in what concerns the installation of base drivers and you get the BSOD, it is before you get even to specify options etc. I have two of these machines, and they both do the same thing.

  Any help would be fantastic.

  Tom

  Hello

  I think you get the BSOD due to lack of SATA drivers in Windows XP
  You must include the SATA drivers to the Win XP operating system first.
  To do this, the nLite software could be used.

  Google and the search here on the forum for nLite, SATA and Intel Matrix Storage Manager drivers there are a lot of discussions on this theme.

  PS: After installing Win XP you will not be able to start the Vista because Vista boot manager would be a shame to Win XP.
  To do this, you will have to start Microsoft Vista DVD (not Toshiba recovery disc!).
  The DVD of Vista would be fix again the Startup Manager and you could start in Vista.

  Then, you need to install the free tool called EasyBCD.
  This tool allows you to change the Vista Boot Manager and include the Win XP on the start menu.
  This menu appears at the beginning and will allow you to choose between Vista and Win XP.

  I did on my laptop and it worked perfectly!

• HP Pavilion 15_AB290SA: Dual Boot

  My computer came with Windows pre-installed 10 and without disks. During the process of installing Linux 17.3 Rosa "Mate" operating system I have inadvertently erased the disk hard don't drive so no Windows 10. I installed Linux and that's all working well. I tried to install Windows 7 and I get an error: "Partition must be formatted as NTFS. Then, I am unable to act.

  There are 3 partitions and that's what they say:

  Disk 0 Partition 1 is an EFI system (I presume that's where the Linux OS is installed)

  Disk 0 Partition 2 & 3: System not recognized.

  The system is a wired LAN setup.

• Dual boot up on series Satellite L300-144

  Hello

  Got a new Satellite L300 144 series laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Is it possible to install Windows XP and have dual boot options?
  There are only forced to any material?
  What additional drivers would be needed during the installation of Windows XP Home edition?
  What would be the steps or if there is already one of solution posted can you point out to me. Thank you.

  Diwang

  As a first step, it is important to say that Windows XP Home Edition is supported for this model of laptop and on Toshiba support page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads you can find drivers for Windows XP Home edition.

  It is also important to say that the recovery image (DVD version) cannot be installed on the second partition and as a first step, you install original Toshiba Vista OS. Option to create a separate partition for the installation of Vista. At the beginning of the recovery procedure enter SETUP option and choose what size the first partition should be. If I remember well, it is in percent.

  After installation of Vista, you must install Windows XP Home edition. Good course on the second partition. For the installation of Windows XP Home edition, please use Windows XP Home with SP2 integrated. Starting installation the HARD disk is not recognized correctly. For this you need Intel Storage manager. You can find it on the download page of Toshiba.
  Installing WXP to start press F6 to load it. To do this you need USB FDD.

  In the end, there is a small problem. After the installation of Windows XP Home edition that you will not be able to start Vista because WXP has not recognized Vista and does not boot manager. You must install the boot manager that offer you the choice between the two operating systems preinstalled.

  If you install Vista as a second OS you will not have this problem because Vista recognize Xp and older starting in supply selection involving Microsoft Vista operating system.

  So if you have more questions please write again.

  Bye and good luck!

• Upgrade to El Capitan has replaced the boot on Configuration partition dual boot

  I've been using find for a dual-boot my Macbook Pro with OSX and Ubuntu.  Today, I decided to upgrade my OSX Yosemite to El Capitan.

  After downloading all the 6G, which took about six hours, and the installation program, I received a prompt to restart my computer.  After that, and waiting more than 10 minutes staring at a blank screen, I pressed the power button, but nothing happened.  After doing this several times and get in trouble in the meantime, I pressed and held.  To my surprise the blank screen is having a background slightly shine completely black color.  Then, I realized that the computer was actually still on, and I interrupted probably something I shouldn't.

  Then I turned on my computer, and instead of being presented to the screen where I choose which operating system to load, I got OSX loading screen with the Apple logo and progress bar.  After some time, the OSX installer appeared and told me that it would take 19 minutes to install OSX.  However, after a minute and a half, the installer left with the message:

  OS X could not be installed on your computer

  A partition of start-up assistance is required when working with the storage of carrots.

  Exit Setup to restart your computer and try again.

  
  

  Product restarts the same result, as described above.

  Using the disk utility program, I see that I still have my Ubuntu partition, although not like OS X doesn't shows being available and has no information about it other than its size.

  As a customer, I am pretty upset by this situation.

  Why don't/that the installer should overwrite the MBR?  It's totally useless!  Why the installation program could not upgrade the OS that he treated and leave the rest alone computer?  If someone at Apple has not considered the possibility that some of their users will want to double to start their systems?

  Why are there not warnings or other information displayed during the preparation phase indicating that this would happen?  Why me staring at a screen empty while something, probably important, took place in the background and leading me to believe that my computer had hung up?  Surely a window could have been displayed saying something like "do not turn off your computer.

  Now that I have my setup porked, I need to recover from an old backup, get kind of rEFInd running again, back up my Ubuntu installation and probably delete the partition.  Then try to upgrade to El Capitan again after the download of an another 6G.  Once El Capitan is at work, I'll have to recreate the EXT4 partition and restore Ubuntu top and install rEFInd.  This seems to be an arrangement rather STUPID having to cross in 2016.

  Has anyone else had this problem?  If so, advice on how to get all this done effectively?

  New user account is not happy!

  
  

  Well, it seems that the recovery of my Time Machine backup is not so simple...

  In the setup of OS X, utilities disk is available, so I ran it.

  I've selected the partition where OS X is installed and choose the editing command-> restore from the menu, and then set the "restore from:' location to my partition backup (located on an external USB drive) and press ."

  This produces a message saying "restore process has failed. Press OK to continue.  (Continue where?)

  Open the details view showed me:

  Validation of targets...

  Validation of source...

  Could not unmount volume "/ Volumes/Image . (No end of quote)

  " Volume" (busy resource) (Who's using it?  (Not me!)

  What volumes cannot be disassembled?  Apple media disk image?  Why?  What these volumes As make me writing disk4s2 to disk1?

  I'll try to disassemble the Terminal and see if disk utility can help you.

  Your laptop of HP ENVY 17-j150ca is basically the same as my computer laptop HP ENVY 15 t-j100 CTO, only bigger. You will need to provide the Intel AHCI / RAID drivers during the first part of the installation. Please download "f6flpy-x 64.zip" of Intel Download Center. Expand this and place the file/folder on a USB key. Then;

  (1) DISABLE "Secure starting" and ACTIVATE the standby mode 'legacy' in the BIOS. Save and EXIT

  (2) enter code as it is necessary to recognise the change

  (3) reboot and press 'ESC' and then 'F9' when prompted. Select "UEFI - CD/DVD" or "UEFI - USB key... and boot from the DVD of Windows 7 SP1 or a USB key.
  4) click install now
  (5) to accept the license agreement
  (6) when the option to select an installation type, click (custom)

  (7) there will be a link called it loads drivers, insert the USB stick with the Intel AHCI / RAID drivers, select the USB and it should load the appropriate driver.

  (8) continue the installation by following all the guests... BE SURE TO SELECT THE PARTITION NOT USED FOR INSTALLATION

  Good luck

  Most of the Windows 7 drivers for the TouchSmart from HP ENVY 17 t-j100 CTO Notebook PC drivers of Quad Edition page should work on your computer.

• 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.

• HP ProBook 4520 s - dual boot between Win7 64 bit and Ubuntu 10

  Hello

  I just got my new HP ProBook 4520 s a few days ago and:

  (1) there were 32 bit Windows7 professional pre-installed / pre-loaded

  (2) it comes with the TWO 32-bit and 64-bit Windows7 professional DVD HP (I guess versions OEM HP)

  (3) the HD have 4 partitions in the following order

  score A 3 a) named SYSTEM

  3 (b) the parition where Win7 is installed

  (3 c) HP_RECOVERY partition

  partition HP_TOOLS 3D)

  I did a lot of dual-boot in the past years, but my question is really related to maintain the HP diagnostic tools that arise before even that any operating system is loaded... and diagnostic tools are those of the HP_TOOLS partition. For example, when I ran some diagnostic tests, after completing the tests and the boot of Win7, I see in the HP_TOOLS partition, in one of its directories, a .log file recently updated with the results of diagnostic tests. I want to assure you that I can still run powered on the laptop even after dual-boot diagnostic tools.

  Now, since I have the DVD 32 - bit and 64 - bit, I decided I want to dual-boot between Linux and 64 bit Windows7 professional. So here's what I've done so far:

  (A) has reduced the volume of Win7 Windows computer management disk management

  (B) install Win7 64 bit on top of the existing 32-bit Win7 partition, format this partition during the installation. So no more HP utility and on the installation of 64-bit programs.

  So now I have Win7 64 bit installed and professional pre-activated since it's the same notebook. Then, I realized that I really need to delete the HP_RECOVERY partition since you can have up to 4 primary partitions. So by deleting the HP_RECOVERY partition, I will be left with 3 primary partition, then I can create an extended partition to contain other partitions for Ubuntu, etc...

  But before I delete the HP_RECOVERY partition, I want to know:

  *) When starting, before even that any operating system is loaded, HP you shows options like "Diagnostics" and "recovery". How is the computer HP laptop knows that diagnoses are in the HP_TOOLS partition? How the laptop HP ProBook 4520 s knows that recovery is in the HP_RECOVERY partition?

  *) Since I have the DVD of Win7 HP (32-bit and 64-bit), I don't really have the HP_RECOVERY partition. If I delete the partition, what will happen to this start screen which gives you the possibility of "recovery"? Of course the recovery option won "t work and I don't like, but will remove the partition HP_RECOVERY won't let me boot into Win7, or any OS besides? for example it does not validate there HP_RECOVERY partition to a place before loading Win7?

  *) Then, I want to install Ubuntu, and preferably Ubuntu (or Grub also) overwrites the MBR. I prefer Grub on EasyBCD. I can easily change the configuration of grub so I can dual-boot with Windows7... But again, my question is, where does HP maintains information about diagnostic tools that they are in the HP_TOOLS partition, like the option of the diagnostic tool loading via BIOS before even any OS is loaded. Is that information in the MBR, or is it in the partition named SYSTEM?

  Summary of the questions are therefore:

  (1) where HP keeps its information that diagnostic tools are in the HP_TOOLS partition? It is in the MBR, or the SYSTEM partition, or is it stored in the BIOS hard coded to load more precisely from the location of the partition? I want to keep the ability to run Diagnostics even after you have a dual-boot installation with grub in the MBR.

  (2) deleting the HP_RECOVERY partition will prevent the workbook from loading correctly before moving to Win7, Ubuntu or any other OS?

  Just find the answer to my original question:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c01564727/c01564727.PDF?JumpID=reg_R1002_USEN

  He uses the EFI interface and seeks a partition named HP_TOOLS, which means overwrite the MBR will not affect the operation of the HP diagnostic tools.
