• Windows Vista Ultimate: SP1 CD can not install for me to Dual-Boot 7 and Vista

  Hi I'm new here.

  I have Windows 7 Ultimate on my computer. I have 3 drives, F: reserved system, C: (where Windows 7 is on) and blank D: 20 GB Partition.

  I am trying to install Windows Vista, so I can dual-boot, but I get an error code saying that there is not enough disk space on my F: reserved system, but I try not to install it since their, I try to install from the D: drive.

  So I tried another way, I Booted from the CD, and Setup continues. But, when I clicked on my D: drive it says it cannot copy files when going from 3%.

  Question:

  1. I did a wiped fresh clean installed Windows 7 Ultimate, and it created a partition of 100 MB. What's causing Windows Vista to install correctly?

  2. If Question 1 was the problem, do you think I should wipe my entire C: drive and erase the entire disk for Windows Vista to fix itself?

  Thank you

• Dual booting - problem with the disk when trying to start windows

  original title: problems with dual boot.  Windows does not play well with others.

  Hello

  I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit included with the computer.  I installed Fedorah and it works on my computer.  When I installed it, but I had my hard drive partion.  I left most of the hard drive (about 400 concerts) as it was, when I booted up Fedorah worked well and gave me the option to boot or windows.  When I started in the window, however, it wouldn't let me start my computer, it says I have a problem with my drive.  With XP, it gives me no problem, I didn't ignore the disk check, but with Vista for some reason it doesn't let me start.  It gives me a few options of restoration to the previous status confuses the computer he says I manually type in which windows in the command line.  I don't have my windows CD, the only other option that I have that seems to work when I click it is restoring to factory fault which I don't want to do because I don't want to lose all my files.  Please tell me what I need to do.

• Strange problem with Windows Vista / & Dual Boot of Win 7, Vista is there, but is not...

  I have sucessfully partioned primary SATA drive in my old Dell XPS desktop computer for 1 year so I could dual-boot between Visat & Win 7, but that the process be re-sizing / partitioning, or installing Windows 7 posed problem with dual booting (MBR) which I was able to fix via the process of startup repair & recovery.

  Unfortunately, when I try to boot into Vista from the Boot Manager screen, I can get as far as the Welcome screen and then the screen turns white.  At some point, I think I saw an error message referring to a bad or Rundll file missing (I think it is)

  However, if the blank screen, I can do a Ctrl-alt-del and bring up the options menu to lock the computer, switch users, log, change password or start the Task Manager.  When I select the Task Manager, I see several Services & processes running.  It seems that Vista is running, but I can't do it...

  If I select log-off, I get the newspaper colorful off the screen.

  Any idea?

  Should I continue with the process of startup repair & recover?  I don't think the fix bootrec applies more, correct?   In addition, I unfortunately do not have the CD original Vista because it is a Dell system with all the stuff of recovery on the hard drive... (GRRRR!  ) which I think is a no recovery before I changed them were leaving...

  Thank you!

• Windows XP - Dual Boot for Satellite U300-134

  Hello. I have read other responses to this problem of the addition of Windows XP (as a dual boot) but it still doesn't work. My laptop (I bought a few days ago) comes with Vista, and I bought Windows XP Home Edition - OEM. I got the intel matrix storage manager on a floppy USB drive, but now it gives a message "the txtsetup.oem file is not found." I have XP because it turns out that my work WHAT VPN does not work under Vista (I found that out AFTER I bought the computer unfortunately).

  Can you please tell me what I should do next to get this working? And any other surprises I might encounter? I looked around the internet but cannot find the answers to this. I tried nlite, but have not managed to get this working but either.

  Thank you.
  Ian

  Hello

  There are different reasons why you can not install Win XO on the U300.

  First use the right Manager, Intel Matrix Storage Manager?
  Laptop you seems to support the Intel GM965 + Intel ICH8M chipset!

  Please check this thread!
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26040

  The user Markus77 has listed the details!

  Also please don't format the HARD drive or create any installation AFTER the partitions of the Intel Matrix Storage manager. This would remove the driver already installed.

• Windows 8 dual-boot on a 520-1100

  I released up to 250 GB on my new 520-1100, received the key of Windows 8 and then booted from the DVD of Windows 8 pre-release to have the installation procedure to tell me that I can not install windows 8 because ""the selected disk is a partition MBR. table. On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »

  How to dual-boot system in Windows 8? Can I turn off EFI somehow? What should I back up all partitions, reformat the hard drive 2 TB as TPG (and which tools to use to do), then restore all partitions?

  So, it's extremely annoying, I bought a touchscreen specifically for the development of Windows 8.

  Thank you

  Thought of it myself.

  Press F10 when you start the system, and you get to the configuration of the computer. Under storage-> boot order, you will see there are 2 sections; UEFI devices and material. UEFI devices are USB and the Blu - Ray player and legacy devices are the Blu - Ray player (again) and the hard drive.

  Arrow down to the blu - ray under the section of the UEFI drive and press F5 to turn it off. He is still active in the legacy section and always ahead of the SATA drive.

  Restart your system and press a key to start from the Windows 8 install disc and install Windows 8 on the partition that you released the hard disk.

  I assume that Windows detects the drive Blu - Ray as being UEFI then it assumes that everything else is too.

  Windows 8 works fine and everything but the touch screen works the first time. I guess HP are working to get the driver for it developed and out so once that happens, I'll be good to go.

• Cannot remove Windows XP Dual Boot with Windows 7 (partition logic-bootable) (main System Partition)

  When I put XP and 7 dual boot I them created on a drive with 2 partitions.  I don't have Windows XP and need space for windows 7 so I followed the instructions to remove it.  I used the Windows 7 disc in repair mode via Diskpart to delete the XP partition and (after release) change the master boot record to Windows 7 using Bootrec/fixmbr and /fixboot.  I then tried to activate Windows 7 new in Diskpart but received the error message:

  The VIRTUAL DISK SERVICE ERROR - the specified partition is invalid for this operation.

  It's because I had configured Windows 7 in an extended as a logical disk partition.

  I had to restore from the image I had taken and copy backup my data files.  However this left me with the following configuration:

  Primary partition

  C: Windows XP - local disk, system, Page File Active, primary

  Extended partition

  G: Windows 7 - Local, Boot, Crash Dump, logical disk

  D: programs - Local, logical disk

  Files - Local, logical disk E:

  Photos - Local, logical disk F:

  I have EaseUS Partition Master which apparently allows me to convert drive G of elementary logic.  However he would not only because it is noted as boot drive.

  How to convert G to a logical disk in a primary partition so that I can activate it?

  At the DOS prompt, type the following three commands:

  Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd

  You should now see the number of Windows Installations that have been identified
  For a tripple boot computer, after that XP has been removed you will see the number 2 (the 2 other Windows 7/Vista

  facilities)

  If you see a prompt "Facility add to the startup list?", enter Y (Yes) for each installation.

  Remove the Windows 7 DVD. Close the command prompt window, and then click "Restart" to reboot the PC.

• Win XP / 7 activation to dual boot problem...

  Here's the scene:

  1 / have installed Xp and CS4 works fine... (used to have CS3 as well but there was a problem of mobo and CS3 now give an error of activation.) Too much hassle to reformat and reinstall... blah, blah, blah.)

  2 / just installed Win 7 to test as a dual boot and CS4 installed option. PS and HAVE both gives me a message "The product License has expired" without any options. There is no other activations, which means no alternative on another system or your laptop, etc.

  Is there a work-around, or do I have to make a completely fresh install? Which means, deactivate CS4 in th XP boot and then reinstall CS4 in th boot Win 7?

  TIA...

• Installation of fedora Linux next to my window 7 (dual boot)

  Hello

  I am facing a problem while installing fedora on my computer windows laptop Z580 7.

  I had narrowed the C drive to get 100 GB of free unallocated space where I could install the linux os.but when installing, I am confronted to error: ERROR of PARTITIONING "could not allocate requested partitions: not enough free space on disk.»

  After going to some forums, I discovered the issue could be with limitation of the disk partition hard drive that is 4.

  computer laptop lenovo already have 4 partitions additional partitions.and for / and / home etc for linux, this problem occurs.

  Please advice me how I can solve this problem.

  Thank you

  What happens if I also remove the disk tool from lenovo (of course after a backup of DVD) and merge it with the C drive. This primary transmission of woud do it3 and I can then install linux?

  Hi all

  Thanks for the responces.

  I was able to install fedora 17 next to my win7 os.

  I had to remove the drive Lenovo (with installation for the drivers files) after a backup of DVD.

  However, these two days has been very difficult... and had a bad experience.

  I changed the configuration of grub and installed nvidia package(was_just_experimenting_ _ ).after, I did the restart.it just won't enter the linux system. Although Win 7 was very good.

  I am frustrated, lil being a novice and decided to reinstall linux by replacing the old linux.

  Yet once the curse of maximum 4 primary partition now comes in picture, whenver I tried using USB or Live CD

  He would show me errors. Then I felt that I had to delete the Win disk linux partition manager... thought tool.but. Overrride grub on the MBR could be a problem when I would have started to get into Win7, because he would have got deleted as well with the linux partition. I went to EasyBCD and used an option (I have no idea if it works or not. took the risk) and run the possibility of placing the win vista/7 start files on the MBR, (thinking that he could remove the replacement of GRUB).

  Then I rebooted and BAM. I was lost as soon as I saw the message failed to initialize. (I have no bootable Win7)

  But sometimes the rescue... A key recovery saved me in 15 minutes, he did recovery .and I could retrieve the settings to factory default, althogh I lost a part of the very important files.

  Then, I deleted the disk Win Manager linux partition and reinstalled again.

  now, the two systems operate correctly.

  Conclusion: 1 Linux can not be installed in a system with 4 primary partition already existing (I could be wrong here)

  2. its safe to remove drive lenovo (containing the driver set up files), once you have the back upward.

  3. you must avoid changing any configuration for grub bootloader (unless you are an expert)

  4. for my case, normal Live CD has failed. I had to create a live USB (way fedora live usb creator) and I had to

  delete files with the extension .efi (a person of some fedora forum suggested do), until I booted from it.

  She's the one

  Thank you

  I have a HP Pavilion computer processor AMD Sempron 140 2.70 GHZ, 3.00 GB, usable 2.75 GB installed memory. Type of system 64-bit operating system. Windows 7 Home Edition, service pack 1.

  My problem began two months ago, every time that microsoft windows does an automatic update, and then restarts, my screen goes gray and I have to close it using the power button. After doing that it would hire up to my regular office, yesterday it downloaded and got the gray screen, tried to make a closed hard but when he started to log on again it wouldn't start. I had to log on in safe mode with internet connection. They suggested to do a restore, I did that 3 times, still would not start upward using normal startup. He then began using the repair tool on its own and after 45 minutes, I was able to log on and come back to my office. Now I have disabled the automatic update of windows and am afraid to install updates at all. Y at - it something I can do what I can to keep updated on my updates.

  2. What is the item number of kb of the update you have installed?

  I suggest you follow the provided methods to solve the problem:

  Method 1: run the clean boot:

  Perform a clean boot to determine if any 3rd party service is causing the issue:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Original title: replacement of the Windows XP boot manager.

  Hello

  A few days ago, I installed Windows Embedded Standard on a PC that already had Windows XP on it. But (Windows Embedded) has been installed with a lot of system files missing (Task Manager, System Configuration and even the application to activate Windows was absent).

  The Windows boot manager that came with Windows Embedded could not be successful because I could not access "msconfig". It doesn't even have a "repair" advanced option.

  "Windows Embedded would be useless in 30 days, so I formatted the disc that contains the" management of the computer "in Windows XP.

  But Windows Boot Manager Embedded stayed with Windows Embedded as one of the options (Option low said "Earlier Version of Windows". This driver for the Windows XP boot manager).

  Is there a way I can get rid of him?

  Thank you

  DOM

  Hi Dom,

  Did you uninstall normal Windows XP or Windows Embedded Standard?

  If you have removed Windows Embedded and normal Windows XP still installed, you can use FIXMBR and FIXBOOT from the Recovery Console to restore the boot loader.

  For more information, please visit this link: Description of the recovery Windows XP for power users Console

  If you have removed the normal Windows XP and Windows Embedded, you can ask your question in the MSDN forums for assistance.
