How should I divide up to a HD so I can dual boot 32 and 64 bit WIN7

I install WIN7 32 bit and WIN7 64 bit (legally) on the same machine.  I understand that I must do it on a hard drive by creating two partitions.

We have to be 'active' and a 'logic' I suspect.  Please let me know if this is correct.  I gleaned this info so far from other jobs found here.

    There are no real problems with dual boot if it's Setup corrrectly.

    You need operating systems on separate partitions (readers not necessarily distinct, but definitely separate from the partitions).

    If you uninstall Vista later and it's a copy to the details of the program, then you can install it in a virtual drive using the same product key (but you'll probably need to activate manually).

I can open in safe mode, but have had no chance of this and the solutions of regedit, I saw posted on the internet do not match the entries that I have.

  • How do you put a PDF in Flash, so people can open in Acrobat and to download or print?

    I inserted a button I've linked to the PDF document using this code:

    on (release) {}

    getURL ("nameofpdf.pdf", "_blank");

    }

    But when I test it, it says "1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before leftbrace."

    The .swf will be converted into a .exe and burned on a cd and I was hoping to not put the PDF files online just in case some people have no internet.

    I'm a noob in Flash, so please do not confuse me .

    Thank you all

    PS. I use CS5.5

    Go to your publication settings and make sure you have selected Actionscript 2.  The error could make believe that you have selected instead AS3.  In addition, if you happen to use AS3, code cannot be there where it should be since this code must be attached to the key and not in the timeline panel (AS3 don't allow the code to be attached to objects).

  • How do I set up a dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives?

    Dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives

    I tried to get my computer has a separate hard drive put in place that lets me run Windows XP or Windows Vista. I tried the path of the CMD, but I could do things wrong with that because the news NTLDR appeared much too different info from Vista. Currently, I have deleted this change to the startup configuration. I want to know what I have to do to get these two to be able to boot. I noticed problems similar to mine, but the answer always seems to be a software that would cost me money.

    Thank you

    Tevans95

    Hello Tevans95,

    You cannot install two different operating systems on two different disks. For a dual-boot environment, you must install both XP and Vista on the same drive with different partitions.

    In addition, you must install Windows XP first and then Windows Vista.

    You can check the items below which will give you information on Dual boot.

    Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

    Set up a dual-boot system

    Change the default operating system for startup (multiboot)

    There is no software that can help you to install XP and Vista on different drives.

    Thank you

  • How can I partition my hard drive for dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP?

    I installed Windows 7.  How do I get a partition or virtual hard disk the hardrive and then install a different OS, so that I can dual-boot between 7 and XP?

    I only know of the VHD, 7 has a "virtual machine" option or is a long process that requires a third-party software?

    Not longer than the partitioning of the HARD drive and install XP - actually quite a bit more fast I should think and gives you the ability to move from one OS to the other without having to reboot the machine.
