Equium A300D - Parralled/Dual Boot OS

Hello.

Yesterday I bought a laptop A300D and after setting up, I found her quite slow. For example, it will come with "Please wait" before show you the login screen when starting upwards. It takes at least just around 2-4minuets to allow you to open a session. After that, though. I found its a machine ok, but I was wondering if I could go back to Windows XP. I don't like vista, but I think it is perhaps one of the causes for its slowness. I think that also. When I start to install my own software ect it will get slower.

I've heard a lot of 'dual boot' and I was wondering if it was possible on this laptop. I have 3 hard drives in this laptop.

Vista (c :)) F 117)
WINRE (:)) 1.46 GB D
Data (e :)) F 113)

What I read, I could use my data (e) for an operating system and (c) for the other. Although I'm not entirely sure how, or even if its possible to do it on this laptop. I mean. tell if it worked, and I got XP on a disk of the XP operating system would use the laptop as vista only? Two hearts, graphics ect.

I really have a small list of questions to ask if it's ok. I will list out them.

#1: is it possible to dual boot on a Toshiba A300D?
#2: is it possible to dual boot on separate hard drives?
#3: If so, how can I do to set up?
#4: are there special programs, I need to do?
#5: XP will use it has computers and hardware as well as vista?

I think it's the issues that I really want to this time. I'm still pretty new to computers. Thank you for reading, and if it is possible please let me know. . Once thank you once again.

Mallues. =)

Although I am focused on the dual-boot, if there is a way to simply install XP without vista at all, that would be massively useful also. Thank you.

  • Re: Equium A300D - 13 X - boot problem

    Hello

    I can't initialize problem. Powers of phone on ok, with a few flashes of HARD drive as it tries to start. But no sounds other than the kick, fans have tried all the usual things like FN/F8 to enter safe mode, also cold start battery and network opens. Power button down for an all black screen minute etc etc, but still no screen or emits a signal. I suspect a power supply problem and have tried with different loader but no effect. Laptop is a 4 year old Toshiba Equium A300D - 13 X everything worked fine but I recently renewed keyboard, screen bezel, Mo media Ribbon, power/Ribbon button, Mo.

    I thought I might have left some cable detached so all reopened and checked, but everything is correctly fixed I think.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Bob.

    Hello Bob

    It is not easy to be objective with this problem. On one side you have disassembled your laptop on your own and we don t know if everything was done correctly. I m also not technician and each laptop disassembly has been a success.

    I put t really know what to say. Try to talk with someone who can help you with this and check if everything is OK. Small error as causing electrical circuit can damage the electrical components of the motherboard. Try to check the display cable connection.

    Have you tried to connect the laptop to the TV and check if all come to this?

  • My Equium A300D freezes at BIOS

    Someone help with this one?

    My Equium A300d froze in the Bios boot screen. Finally, I have replaced the ram and hard drive but still the same problem. By trial and error I discovered that the problem was the dvd drive... Remove the system and it loads well, put in place in and from the gel to the bios!

    I replaced the dvd drive wiith a new compatible drive but same result so assume the real hardware is not the problem then can only assume a motherboard problem?

    Has anyone encountered this scenario? Thanks for the research.

    It's really strange question. What version of BIOS is on your computer?

    If I understand you well without ODD your laptop starts properly and preinstalled operating system can be loaded.

    Have you tried to implement ODD when Windows is fully charged?

  • Equium A300D - 16 c - display does not

    My girlfriend has an Equium A300D - 16 c which had some problems lately.

    In recent months, whenever she turns on the system, the display does not pull upwards and it takes several tent for lights.

    The strange thing is every time that happens, the system boots normally always that you can hear the Windows 7 startup sound.

    I'm looking for in this question for some time now and I'm running out of ideas.
    Initially, I thought that it could be a wiring problem but by stripping the laptop down, I found that the cable was still firmly in place.

    I also tried to remove the RAM, HARD drive and DVD drive, but it still doesn't pull upward. On the odd occasion she started upward when you do it, but after restart, it has not started again.

    I think that this could be either a transmitting power or the mother board is on its way. This problem has worsened gradually (it took more than 20 attempts it turn on and off this morning) so finally he come not at all.

    To clarify, the system will start after several attempts, but most of the time that the screen not turn on (not even the backlight). It works with an external display on the HDMI so the GPU works.
    I tried to keep the power with no energy source button to unload the system, but it does not help.

    I also noticed that if you hear it boot and close the cover, the reopening of the display lid will come on but with the bad (1024 x 768) resolution that has intrigued me even more.

    Any ideas on what could be the problem? I would repair it rather than just buying a new as its still a decent system apart from this problem.

    > To clarify, the system will start after several attempts, but most of the time that the screen not turn on (not even the backlight). It works with an external display on the HDMI so the GPU works.

    This means that you can use the laptop as part of the external screen, but it does not work with the internal screen?

    This means that the internal display module isn't OK. It probably needs to be replaced.
    But this does not explain the problems while turning on the laptop.

    In the worst case the mother for laptop AND the internal screen are affected, but it would be really strange and rare bad luck

  • How to do a clean install on my Equium A300D

    Hello

    I got an Equium A300D-13 x which runs vista Home premium. I bought it to PC world a few years ago. I want to sell it and I want to do a clean install to put it back to its original state. I removed all my data on an independent hard drive already. I read the virtual manual supplied and he said to start pc and press the F8 key to access the Advanced Boot Options menu and then do a repair or something? I'm sure it will be clear if I am still here! I've always been able to remember another high office I've owned to enter in safe mode using F8... This seems a little weird. Can someone please advise.

    I also had a 'local disc Q' appear in the MY COMPUTER section about two months ago. I don't know how it got there and I do not have the permission to access. I tried to change the owner of the file, but I'm not allowed? Can someone explain this please?

    I'm afraid that the security on my laptop has been violated somehow, I'm having other problems that relate to some very technically accomplished of not nice people.

  • 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.

  • (SOLVED) Profile of tuberculosis path must be reinstated to Dual boot w/each start

    Having a dual boot (W10 & Ubuntu 14.04). Configure TB on first and migrated W10 W7 all files/folders for TB to it. Worked well. Then configure Ubuntu TB. Set the path for the profiles to the location on the main disc used by W10, I can use the same files. Worked 1st time and recognized of all the folders/files/address/etc. When I re-boot of Ubuntu it says folder Profiles is missing. In the Terminal I follow these steps to fix:

    CD/usr/bin >
    . / thunderbird - profilemanager >
    Remove "default profile" >
    create new "default profile" and sets the path to the folder of old profile even on main drive >

    Again, everything works until the next reboot. So I have to re-enter the foregoing all over again! Any suggestions GREATLY appreciated!

    Congratulations. You can then mark the thread as "Solved" Please?
    Thank you.

  • Migrate to El Capitan in a dual boot Situation

    I have a Mac Book Pro 2011 with two internal hard drives.  (I got the optical drive, replaced by the second hard drive).  A reader has installed El Capitan.  The other disc has Snow Leopard.  I want to finish my transition to El Capitan while being able from time to time dual boot from the Snow Leopard disc in order to run some legacy applications.  Meanwhile, I have done work on "both sides of the fence" and do not want to replace or destroy data and applications that currently exist on the drive from El Capitan.

    Can I use the Migration Wizard to move most of the data and compatible applications since the Snow Leopard disc to the drive of El Capitan?  Or who will overwrite what already exists on the disk of El Capitan?  Or can / should I I manually copy data and applications from one disk to the other?  My end goal is Snow Leopard "skeleton" for legacy applications, thanks to the drive of El Capitan being my main boot drive.

    Hope this makes some sense.

    When I had this situation, I did a manual copy, so I would have more control over what was copied and where he went.

  • Dual Boot Windows 10 error

    Greetings!

    I have a MacBook Early 2015 Pro 13 "i5 2.7 GHz, 16 GB of RAM and 128 GB SSD.

    I decided to dual boot my mac with Windows 64-bit 10 and I downloaded the file ISO 10 64-bit Windows, and when I tried to use the Bootcamp Assistant to install it, it gave me the following error message:

    This is clearly an iso version beyond Windows 8, I'm stumped!

  • Dual-boot Windows and Linux, but Linux has calendar, TB 31.0

    I'm using Linux Mint and Windows 7 dual-boot. I have TB 31.0 installed on each operating system. TB Linux has a capacity of calendar; in Windows, there is nothing (by nothing, I mean no calendars - I can't see their properties, for example, access somehow).

    I should add that Windows and Linux TB programs share the same profile folder (located on a separate partition), therefore, all of the same modules, passwords, etc.

    The error console records the following:

    Timestamp: 14/08/2014-18:41:33
    Error: Components.classes['@ [cid] is undefined
    Source file: resource://calendar/modules/calUtils.jsm-> file:///P:/PortableApps/ThunderbirdPortable/Data/profile/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/calendar-js/calUtils.js
    Online: 17

    There are a variety of flow on the errors related to this.

    My apologies for posting this in this way; I intend to submit this via the crashreporter, but I can't get the program crash with this error earlier.

    An answer to my own question: it turns out that, while sharing a profile works quite well for most of the cases, with lightning, he does not, like the extension has different versions of Linux and Windows. The problem is solved very simply: by not using is not the same profile for each version.

    Glad to see that no one takes on this one (except me, of course).

  • Can not start my Mac Book Pro Apple on Dual Boot

    Hey guys - need help

    I have a 2015 Mac Book Pro that I have a dual boot with Windows 10 of setting, everything went well, but I found that I had lost the ability to open any program in Windows, installation of 'apps' thedesktop went, Edge Windows, search etc had disappeared off the coast of the taskbar. Restoring Windows installation wouldn't work, so did a repair through the control panel within Windows 10 who worked and everything in Windows was back to normal.

    But now, I find that I can not boot into the side MAC from my laptop, if I go into my PC the "Bootcamp" of my SSD drive partition is there but no side of MAC.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • 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.
