How can I make my original Windows 7 bootable again?

I really need someone who has been in the wars to dual-boot.

I had a beautiful work of installation of Windows 7, then thought I would try dualboot Windows 8.  I installed Win 8 on a clean partition.  But something went wrong and get the choice of Windows 8 and Windows 7, when I started.  Kick directly to Win 8 and never gave me any options or settings to change.  Tried to deceive it by acknowledging the origin o/s, but not go.

Because win 8 was not made for me, I tried to format the new partition and installed a second Win 7.  I thought that she would recognize the other Win 7 and set up the old familiar dual boot, in the end, I got exactly the same problem.

Then I tried to use edit bcd.  I saw there is no entry at all for the original score of Win 7, so I cerated a new ID and copied all the parameters of the new Win 7, with the exception of the device (partition).  I added my new partiion of the sequence of sboot and fails.  Who has worked almost: when I restarted I got the o/s selection screen, but when I chose the old o/d, it shielded blue.

I figire far I have either some few details wrong in BCDedit, or I'm missing something fundamental.  At this point, all I want to do is boot in my good old Windows 7.

Can anyone help?

How dual boot Windows 7 and Windows 8
http://www.PAGESTART.com/win8cpdb02171201.html

The goal here is to create a Windows 7 and Windows 8 Dual Boot computer while protecting your investment in Windows 7 (if problems arise) or do you simply not not to continue to use Windows 8.

==================================================

EasyBCD - how to remove the invalid entry:
http://NeoSmart.NET/DL.php?id=1

When you run EasyBCD, you will see the following great tabs/buttons on the left.

(1) the display settings: displays the number of entries (bootable version valid and is no longer valid to Windows). The one marked 'default' in the version of Windows that starts if you sit and wait 30 seconds without making a selection using the keyboard. The entrance of remaining are classified by 'Name' (unless renamed all entires will call Windows 7). Drive letter represents the partition that version. If everything you have installed multiple copies on Windows 7 is the way "Bootloader" will always be the same.

(2) menu of Boot edit: four options 'Up', 'Down', 'Rename' (is very convenient if you want to see a significant name when you first start (I have 5 versions of Windows on one of my test systems, so I reamed the plain jane "Windows 7" "Windows 7 Pro 64-bit" and "Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - Bt, etc." ").)
 
The last option is "Delete", click on the entry of is no longer valid (for highlight), and click 'delete '.

You will see also a check mark 'default' (when the 30 timeout expires) version Windows, the computer will start to place a check mark to the one you want.

Located at the bottom of 'edit Boot Menu' page is the time-out value, if you want automatically to your only remaining version of Windows just place a check mark in the box "Skip boot menu."

When your done with your changes, be sure to 'Save Settings'.

  • How can I make phone activating windows xp home

    I repaired and reinstalled windows XP Home Edition on my laptop. The installation is with my original CD of windows with key no. I get message for activation before newspaper. How can I do phone activation know what phone number.

    Hi Vinod,

    It is very rare that the system prevent access to such a degree that you can reach even the approved methods of activation. And a Normal relocation usually gives you the time to all features (30 days) before resorting to the reduced functionality because it has not been activated - and even reduced feature allows you to access enough to be able to activate. I don't know why you are having problems so here, but here's what's available on the activation of XP because as far as I know.

    Please see the final set of instructions in the following article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307890.

    The following provides additional information about the contact for the XP Activation options: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_prodact_master?ws=support#tab4.

    Do you know someone else with an operating system XP installed on their computers (or access to one through your place of work, a library, a kiosk of the computer, a school, a friend or neighbor or a parent, or anyone (even if by phone where you can ask them to perform the procedure on their XP system where they to get you at least the phone numbers you need) - but how you or they cross) the problem of access to enter the product key or special codes that provide people of activation instead of a product key to enter on the page where the phone number appears normally) is beyond me at the moment and you can need to get the information you need (codes and others) on their part so together you can't do and then ask for help in obtaining of XP to install correctly (as I believe that is not install properly for some reason, given the symptoms you describe).  Something is wrong (hardware, software, version of disc you are using (for example, upgrade or full install), problems with the disc, or a critical piece of the puzzle has not yet been revealed).

    Although not suitable for your situation, if you try the appropriate listed here number they will probably be able to help you connect or provide you the correct for your type of activation number: http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/existing-customers/activation-centers.aspx.

    If all else fails and you are in the USA, try one of the following:

    (888) 571-2048-this is a very old post

    (866) 740-1256-this is the one I get when I do

    If it is in the United States, after return with your country and I'll see if I can find one that works for Vista which may or may not work for you, but they probably can help you or transfer you or give you the exact number.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    In windows movie maker, I'm trying to open an old project. It opens, but there is no video clips - only x or empty clips. How can I get the original film clips show?

    I did a movie and released a dvd. Then, I moved my files from movie on an external hard drive to store files and free up space on my computer. So I went back to try a pull up the project and got every X / white clips. So now, I rebooted my computer with the video files I removed on the external hard drive and it still shows empty clips.
    Help.

    The red Xs indicate that Movie Maker cannot find the original source files.
    If the files are still available... just right click on the red Xs and go to the
    current location of the files source and you may be able to restore the
    path.

  • The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7: How can I make sure that I keep Microsoft Office

    A few months back I took advantage of this offer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 for a discounted price. After that I downloaded the upgrade file, Upgrade Advisor told me that because I'm using Vista business and I was upgrade 7, that my computer would probably be home must pass through with a 'clean install', thus wiping my hard drive.

    That's fine with me, I could just move my documents and Favorites on an external hard drive. But I'm afraid that the upgrade will be wipe my Microsoft Office programs.

    I bought this computer a few years ago. I don't even know if I bought the program with office bundled with it, or if I bought it separately (and probably the discs are somewhere in storage).

    How can I make this update without losing Microsoft Office? Is it possible to confirm if my word has come with my computer or if I installed it separately. If it came with it, and I lose it, certainly there must be a free way for me to recover. Right?

    Any other advice for someone planning on the upgrade?

    Thank you!

    You're the one who knows if you installed Office.

    Office (Word, etc.) comes for free with Windows. you have to buy.

    If Office is preinstalled, it was a test.

    A clean installation will wipe everything.

    You cannot transfer programs.

    It needs to be reinstalled from the original media.

  • How can I make Thunderbird start car with windows startup

    How can I make Thunderbird start car with windows startup

    You can by placing a shortcut in the startup folder of windows, just like any other windows program.

    However if you do, you are likely to encounter problems such as downloading email while still load the antivirus and the network is busy, announcing the arrival of machines on the network (which can be a network a) and any other program of a dozen are loading is heavy risk of timeouts and disconnections of the server as well as error messages that make little sense because they are something that still load.

    The bottom line is so safe that you can, but if there are any questions bring her out of there first.

  • The address window has been reduced. How can I make it any longer so I can see the address (or most of them at least)?

    I've updated to Firefox for Mac 3.6.23. I have OS 10.4.11. Immediately, I noticed that the address window has been reduced to about half an inch. The search engine is long, like the address used to be window. It's not good for me. I usually use the address window to make changes and move it to a new page. I can't do it now. How can I make long once again the address window? Can I return to 3.6.22? I need this long window.
    Sincerely,

    You can place the mouse between the address bar and the search bar, and it will become an icon of resize.

    Press the left mouse button and drag it to the right to make the larger location toolbar.

    You can also reset the related wides by deleting localstore.rdf in the Firefox profiles folder
