'Fixing' does not really a valid option

I do not accept that 'fix' the bootstrapper is a viable option. I want to be able to boot OSs more than just Vista. I will be jumping this SP2 until a proper fix is available, unless MS messages how to work around the problem, so I can always boot any OS that I love. I do not have an original installation of Vista CD or DVD because I have a HP laptop and it comes with tools to completely wipe the drive and reinstall from scratch, not a normal Vista installation disc.

Hi Sean Og,.

Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

Are you referring to a specific fix in SP2 for the bootloader?
What is the problem and what are you trying to accomplish?
I understand that you want more than one OS to boot on your computer.  I believe you can do it without any problems, simply using the steps for Dual booting Vista and XP/Windows 7 or any other OS of your choice.  However, no Microsoft will not be supported.
We can help you to diagnose the problem, if you let us know what the problem is you need work around for?

Here is some information on how to Dual boot your system:

  • Air does not help a valid option for some projects?

    RH9, several projects that are currently deployed as merged webhelp.

    I opened the project that we use as the 'parent' and was able to change the Air outlet, no problem. But when I try to open the other projects that we use as a 'child' projects, it does not allow us to select Air. Even, the option does not display in the output dropdown.

    Is there a setting to be changed? My understanding is that Air can-do merged help projects and makes them in the same way as our existing format, Webhelp.

    Try right clicking on the SSL pod to create a new page layout. Project settings shows that the provisions that are in the project so that you can set the default value. Pretty useless really as you can also do this in the SSL pod.

  • Partition table does not have a valid system partition

    I am working on a Dell XPS 420 computer for a customer.  She has Windows Vista installed on it (not sure what version of Vista).

    He's doing a loop, wherever it loads to the point where I can see the bottom and the mouse, but it stops there.  After 5 minutes of him sitting on this screen, it restarts, I can't access one of the Advanced menu F8.  I tried Safe Mode, and after that it loads the crcdisk it restarts, it does with Safe Mode, Mode safe mode with networking Mode and safe mode with command prompt.  I can't use the last known configuration because it will just try to load and eventually restart.

    Things I've tried is that I ran a diagnosis of hard drive and memory, and they both pass.

    I tried the repair with the regedit option and load the system hive in the registry.

    I tried the bootrec command.

    Well I put in a disk for Installation of Vista and choose the repair option.  I did the auto diagnosis and repair option (first choice I think) and I checked the report after he finished saying that it fixes itself and needed to restart (which he did not in fact)

    Well the result that came was that the Partition Table does not have a valid System Partition.

    I tried the bootrec command, and they all said it has repaired but it did not, when I tried to do the bootrec /rebuild he gave me the message "element not found".

    I ran a test diagnosis system and I received the following message

    System test
    error code 0146
    Msg error code 2000-0146
    MSG HDD 0 - self-test log contains previous errors. Given the code and can be used by the support message technology guide to help diagnose the problem.

    be honest, I just need to know if I need to replace the hard drive or not, it's for a customer.

    I did not see if the HDD is set to AHCI or SATA in the bios again, but I will when I get home today, but I would like some answers backup.

    Hi countryboyofal,

    I suggest that you contact Dell support for the outcome of the diagnostic system.

  • does not represent a valid installation of JavaFX scene Builder

    Selected location... JavaFX scene Builder 1.1 does not represent a valid installation of JavaFX scene Builder


    Anyone seen/get this error in Netbeans 7.3 Beta2 when they try to join stage Builder in the options screen?

    Is there a work around?

    My guess is that you run on Windows: interoperability between 7.3 NB and SceneBuilder 1.1 on this OS was fixed shortly after NB 7.3 Beta 2. If you are using the current Build of developer NB daily 7.3 it will solve your problem.

  • the component business project does not contain a valid connection

    Hello

    I get this warning appearing in my project when I run:

    WARNING: env_appln: the business component project does not contain a valid connection

    env_appln is the name of my project

    No one knows what it is and how I would go about fixing of this?

    Thank you
    -Mark

    Mark,
    It just tells you that the DB connection that is used in conjunction with the application module is not correctly configured (wrong username or wrong db pwd).
    Since you have not mentioned the jdev version you use I'll assume that 11g.
    Click the database tab, find the node with the name of your project and open the node. Inside, you will see the db connections uses the module of the application. Right-click on each one and select Properties, check if all directions are written and test the connection. If you see "Test passed" for all connections the error message should disappear.

  • hyperlink Google SOLVED calendar: create a new calendar [a Lightning does not appear in the Options]

    I downloaded TB 38, which incorporated the lightning. I want to connect Google Calendar, but say instructions select Lightning tab in Options and then file, add the new calendar. Lightning does not appear in the Options window. I have restarted Thunderbird since upgrading several times, but still no option of lightning.

    You do not connect a calendar in Google Calendar. You create a new calendar. In doing so, you select the option "on the network" and then follow the advice given by Matt to enter the address of your Google Calendar.

    At first glance it seemed to be disappointing and awkward. I had a lot of things implemented in the 'House' calendar, and given that it was not in the new calendar connected to the network, none of my existing stuff would be automatically shared.

    At the time, I started to use it, there is no obvious way to move items from one calendar to the other. One method would be to export an event to an ics file and then import it into the new calendar. I think now that if you open an event for editing, you have an option to select the schedule to record it again to.

    I don't know if the address given by Matt still works. See this: https://blog.mozilla.org/calendar/2013/09/google-is-changing-the-location-url-of-their-caldav-calendars/

    You can use Google provider if you need and then the address you use will be one such as described by Matt, but the entry point is always file | New | Calendar. Forget the Tools | Options of.

  • the windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid entry os

    Hello

    I got this message when recovery... I can't get the windows... I have the CD recovery, but when I boot it... It gives me this message

    the windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid entry os

     


    How do I solve this problem

    Hello

    Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery media, here's another solution, you can try.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the same version that originally shipped with your laptop - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, that is the file you need to download ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly file on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Image is - Digital River.

    Images of Windows 7.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.
