Hi Teltom1,

·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

Yes, you can have Windows XP and Windows 7 in dual boot on your computer.

However, the first thing you would do is to check if Windows 7 can be installed on your computer. Check out the following link to search for the same thing.

Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor - download - Microsoft Windows

If so, you can create the necessary partition. Read the following article.

  • Police take more space in the web browser when it is published in space seen in Muse

    Hello

    I have a problem with the space occupied by the text block when it is published in a web browser, the police take more space in the web browser space seen in Muse.

    When I compare the two images, the dimensions are the same, the difference is the space occupied by the police, in the muse, it is more condensed than in the web browser. Why? How can I avoid this in order to get the correct result in the web browser in Muse?

    Thank you.

    police in muse.PNGpolice in web browser.PNG

    You certainly can't avoid it! Each browser uses its own text engine and makes the fonts in its own way. You can only anticipate this behavior and choose your text blocks and policies accordingly. This, incidentally, causes me never (!) use justified text on the web, as you well obviously.

    I shared the size of my HD between OS & Windows when I partitioned.  I do not use Windows often but it's nice to have.  I would like to allocate more space to the operating system I use the low disk space.  I've seen several posts on the removal of Windows, the partition and then re-create it with the new size.  I also saw people talk about other programs to do.  What is the best way to do it without compromising the integrity of my HD?  OS X 10.10.5 - Windows 7 SP1 64 bit

    The Apple-supported method is to remove Windows (Wizard BC only) and re-install Windows on a smaller Windows partition. Third-party tools come in a variety of commercial to the OpenSource and will work with varying degrees of success.

  • more space in the model

    I started a site in Dreamweaver CS3 using a 2 model set with header column. My client wants more space between the navigation bar on the left column and the body, as well as around the photo incorporated into the body. I tried to adjust the padding by modifying the CSS style on the segment from the body. However, every time I add a single pixel of padding to the right or left in the entire body goes to below the navigation bar. Help! My width is 750 pixels and the float is set to the left if it makes a difference.


    This means that you have not set the widths of the inner containers

  • "No more space on the home screen"

    Two of my home screens have a lot of vacation, but now when I try to place a Widget on one of them I get the error message 'No more space on the home screen'.  It used to work fine - but now I press on and hold on an empty spot on the screen and select 'Widget', but I get this error message when I select the Widget I want on my screen. I can place a folder or shortcut without problem, just can't place a Widget.  Any suggestions?

    Widgets done come n a variety of sizes. Sometimes the size appears after the name of the widget (4 x 1, 4 x 2, etc.). I think that the FB widget is big enough, maybe 4 x 3 or 4 x 4. He needs a little space.

  • How to delete hard drive partitions

    Can someone help to give me advice on how to remove my hard drive on my Satellite 2520 partitions? Partitions only appeared after using the system now recovery disk, I have c:d:e: disc where as before didn't the c: folder. This caused me problems when you try to install programs like not enough space available now.

    Hi Luke,.

    Your recovery CD has two options for the installation of your system. The first option is just to format your hard drive and then install a single partion \C: on which your operating system is mounted. The second option is "Advanced" installation in which you can partition your hard drive in any format you want so that you end up with a multiple logical disks \C:, \D:. \E: etc.

    The second option is preferred by many users because it allows them to keep their user data on a separate partition of their operating system.

    As for your problem, you might return to a partition of acronym of re-installing your recovery CD by using the "standard installation", as described above, but then you lose one of your own stuff, unless you save first. Alternatively, you can get a copy of a third-party utility (for example, PartionMagic) to reformat your existing installation.

    My personal preference would be a re - install from your recovery CD, but this will depend on how much you have added to your system, since you installed it last.

  • Satellite A300 - how to start HARD drive recovery after own OS insatallation

    Hi guys.

    I have a question.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, which came with Windows Vista.
    Normally I have the recovery with the normally pre-installed utility partition.
    After that I formatted the system partition, I installed a clean and fresh Windows 7 copy.

    My question is this.
    Since the recovery partition does not get soiled with, is there not a way to install the disk recovery utility hard back in recovery of Windows of F8 before the boot options?

    Please don't tell me that I need to have the recovery disk.
    I already did, I just want to find a solution because it is not that hard for someone who accidentally formatted the system partition and had not created the disks, but the recovery partition. My guess is to do some modifications in the files of the Windows recovery environment that are launched when you use the option to repair my computer at startup, because normally, HARD drive recovery utility appears as one of its tools-options.

    The problem is that I don't have to where these files are, maybe (C:\boot?)
    Currently, I am trying to see if a facility upgrade of windows 7 on windows vista will keep options for hard drive recovery then maybe I will find what it takes.

    All suggestions are welcome!
    Thank you for your time.

    OK, just a hint more, I found what is happening with the recovery environment, and which must be replaced to include more tools...
    This article was really helpful:

    Hi I456kle9p,

    Yes, it should work provide your Intel RST is the latest version. And with GPT, you can keep one big partition. Worst case, a car cheap controller will allow any player to work.

    Hello Jack,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for your question details.

    This behavior can occur if the hard drive or network drive settings are not configured correctly.

    I suggest you disable the Autorun feature and check if that helps.

  • How clone a HARD drive and then use the clone with VMware (as well as Windows works!)?

    I have a system where Windows 7 is installed, and I'm doing a clone of her image of HARD drive, I then want to use in my main with VMware PC, so that I can start Windows 7 at the cloned disk.

    I used Ultimate Boot CD v5.1.1 with which HDD I wanted to clone, and I cloned using EaseUs Disk Copy, which comes with Ultimate Boot CD. The source HARD drive was 250 GB in size which had 3 partitions, while the USB HDD I have attached to the system, which was supposed to be the disk of destination/clone, was 320 GB in size. I chose to create a replica, exact and up to 250 GB of data (partitions, etc.) has been copied exactly, and the rest of space was not allocated. I have now connected this USB HDD to my main PC, shot to the top of VMware Workstation 8 and defined a new Virtual Machine and chose to boot from the USB HDD.

    The result is that when Windows starts (from the cloned HDD inside VMware), I get the blue screen error until I get to the login screen.

    How can I change my methodology so that Windows starts even on the clone? I can change the tools I use, etc.

    You can use the usb drive is
    you only need to patch the system a little registry
    to do this, you start the virtual machine with the usb drive in a restore win7 CD, and then follow the instructions I posted here
    http://sanbarrow.com/p2v2008r2.html

    Patching - easy Variant

    This procedure is used when otherwise the VM would start in a kind of bluescreen 7B.
    This means that VMware is the target and that you configure the computer virtual with VirtualHardware type 7.
    It applies only if the virtual disk is configured like this
    scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068".
    scsi0:0. FileName = "imported.vmdk".

    On the platform target start the virtual machine, newly created in the Windows 7 recovery CD.
    After the initialization is complete, click CMD and run regedit.
    Select HKLM, then Menu > file > load hive.
    Navigate to the Windows directory on the virtualdisk > system32\config and select the file SYSTEM.
    When asked for a name enter p2v.
    Then find the key

    HKLM\p2v\ControlSet001\services\LSI_SAS

    and the startup type of the REG_DWORD value 0
    Select HKLM\p2v, and then click Menu > file > unload hive.
    You can now close regedit and restart.
    The next time you start, you can start in the 2008 R2 system. He should find the drivers and probably need to reboot when finished.
