How to create the dual boot with Red Hat Linux and Vista on Satellite A200
Hi all!
I have a Satellite A200 pre-installed with vista home premium and I would install another OS that is Red Hat Linux Fedora Core 7.
Can someone advice me how do? I'll be very grateful to receive your answers. Thanks again!Well, I put t use this Linux distro on my laptop but I used the Knoppix Live CD and it was very easy.
It was not necessary to install anything. I simply booted from the Live CD and I could use the full Linux operating system.So, it might be better to use this Linux live CD instead of the complete installation.
I think that the main problem would be available to the driver.
The fact is that Toshiba does not support Linux on laptops and so Linux drivers are not available. -
How to create a dual boot with Vista installed on my Satellite U400?
Hello
I just bought a U400 - 17 H with vista installed on the HARD drive. I would like to create a dual boot with XP Pro.
I have only a drive HARD aleady with 2 partitions (1 for vista) + 1 for data.
I want to cut the partition vista in two 2 pieces to install XP Pro.
At the end I'll have 3 partitions 1 vista (65 MB), 1 xp (65 MB) and 1 data (125 MB).Is it easily to create a new partition ok (I guess only on vista)
but is there a program dedicated to install another OS and create a dual boot.Please help me because I like many things the other way around. I'm sure it's possible, but what are the right process to have at the end of two BONES and the choice at the start of the laptop
Thank you
GerardHello!
Create a new partition for Windows XP and install it. There is no problem.
After that, you need to restore the Windows Vista boot loader. You can do this with EasyBCD. Install and start the program.
Go to the tab "Add/Remove entries". You will see that there is only one option available in the bootloader of Vista at the moment. In the "Add an entry" section, replace the drive in the menu drop-down of C:\ E:\. Change Type "Windows NT / 2 k/XP / 2 k 3" and the name of "Microsoft Windows XP". Then click on 'Add an entry' and 'save '.
Then go to the "Manage Bootloader" tab make sure "Reinstall the Vista Bootloader" is selected, then click on "write the MBR.Now you can restart the laptop and you should have a full system dual boot to work.
Good bye

How can I replace a ntdll.dll in Windows 7 Home Basic
I have Dell Inspiron 15R installed with Windows 7 Home Basic with SP1, ntdll.dll has become corrupt. But if I check with sfc/scannow, it shows no problem. I tried to replace the ntdll.dll from another system of windows 7 by the boot of Ubuntu, but the system crashed, therefore, I have to replace the old file back.
Therefore, please suggest how to replace the ntdll.dll corrupt without installing the OS from scratch.@ FantaSS
=============================================================================There are different ways that ntdll.dll errors can appear on your computer.Ntdll.dll errors can be caused by a number of different things that translate into many different error messages, but some of the more common ones are listed below:- "STOP: 0xC0000221 unknown hard error C:\Winnt\System32\Ntdll.dll.
- "STOP: C0000221 error material unknown \SystemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll.
- "AppName: [NAME OF PROGRAM] ModName: ntdll.dll.
- "[PROGRAM NAME] has caused an error in module NTDLL. DLL at [FULL ADDRESS]"
- "Crash caused in ntdll.dll!
- "NTDLL. DLL error! »
- «Unhandled exception address [ANY] (NTDLL.» (DLL).
Ntdll.dll error messages can appear before or after a program is used, while a program is ongoing, when Windows is started or stopped, or even during a Windows installation.
Cause of Ntdll.dll errorsThe causes of ntdll.dll error messages can vary considerably. However, most of the ntdll.dll errors result from a corrupted or damaged file ntdll.dll version itself, corrupt hardware drivers, or issues between Windows and other programs.Ntdll.dll errors can sometimes mean that a piece of hardware in your computer is faulty, but this is rare.How to fix Ntdll.dll errors:
- Restart your computer: the ntdll.dll error you receive may be due to a one-time, temporary issue and a simple reboot may solve the problem completely.
- Reinstall the program if the ntdll.dll error only when you use a program.
If the software updates or service packs available, install them too. Software programmers may have identified an issue with the program that caused the ntdll.dll error and then issues a patch.
Note: Software of third party that have been installed on your computer are almost always the cause of errors in ntdll.dll. The rest of these troubleshooting steps to solve the problems of ntdll.dll that rarely.
- Check the windows service pack level you use, and consult the Microsoft support site to see if there is a service available for installing the newest pack. Some of the issues that caused the ntdll.dll errors have been corrected in these service packs from Microsoft.
- Disable Add-ons from Internet Explorer selectively: If your ntdll.dll error appears when you start, run or close Internet Explorer, an add-on may be causing the problem. Deactivation of each module, one by one, will determine what add-on is the culprit (if any).
Note: As a solution, assuming that the ntdll.dll error is really Internet Explorer related, install and use a competing browser like Firefox.
- Rename the NLSPATH system variable: If your Windows system does not have this environment variable, skip this step.
Note: It is a step of troubleshooting for this issue only. Don't forget to put this way its original name, if this does not solve the problem of ntdll.dll.
- Turn off the Data Execution Prevention for Explorer.exe: as in the previous step, this is for troubleshooting only the question of ntdll.dll. If this does not resolve the problem, return the Data Execution Prevention settings to their previous settings.
- Update the drivers for any hardware in your computer where the updated drivers are available. Out-of-date drivers sometimes cause errors of ntdll.dll.
- Test your memory for damage: If you receive messages from ntdll.dll, one possible cause could be a memory module in your system. Test your memory will be either identify a problem or clear your RAM from liability.
Replace your memory in the event of failure of your tests.
- Ntdll.dll errors may occur if you have an Iomega Zip drive on the same IDE cable as the hard drive inside your computer. If so, move the Zip drive to a dedicated IDE controller.
- Replace the IDE cable connect the hard drive to the motherboard. If this cable is damaged or defective, one of the symptoms could be the ntdll.dll error you see.
- Repair your Windows installation: If the resettlement of individual software fail to solve the problem, a Windows repair installation overwrites the ntdll.dll file.
- Perform a new installation of Windows: a new installation will completely remove Windows from your PC and reinstall from scratch. I do not recommend this option unless you have exhausted all the previous troubleshooting ideas and you are comfortable that the ntdll.dll error is not caused by a single program (step 2).
Note: If a single program or plugin causes the ntdll.dll, reinstalling Windows and then reinstall all the software even can lead you right to the same ntdll.dll error.
- Although extremely rare, if everything else failed, including the facility clean at the last step, you might be dealing with a hardware problem with your hard drive.
If so, replace the hard disk and then perform a new installation of Windows.

create the dual boot with an external hard drive
I want to create dual boot laptop (OS 2 in 1) in my laptop, but my internal hard drive reach maximum (3) logical partition for my windows operating system 7 is not allow me to create a new logical partition install win8 pro. I've planed to buy an external hard drive and connect with my laptop and install win8 in external hard drive and use win8 and 7. Is it possible? If possible how to create? Please give me instructions step by step.
Hi Karthik,
If your hard drive has enough free disk space, you can install a newer version of Windows on a separate partition and keep the earlier version of Windows on your computer. It's called a multiboot or dual-boot configuration. Every time that you start your computer, you can choose which version of Windows to run. You can also install Windows 8 on an external hard drive and use it to dual boot.
You can see the Microsoft article below for more information about this.
Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

Satellite P840: How to create the secure boot with UEFI Bios recovery disk
Hello

Your laptop has been preloaded with Win 8. Right? For example, the USB flash stick memory you just use the Toshiba Recovery media creator contains the Image of Toshiba with Windows 8. Don t mix this Toshiba image with the image that can be created using Microsoft's own backup and restore function. Both are different pictures!

The last partition contains the files on HARD drive recovery. Usually this partition will be created again when you use the Toshiba Recovery disk to put the laptop back to factory settings. So in the case where you n t need this files or the partition, you can delete

How to install the 16-bit game in Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I wanted to install my game of childhood as VirtuaFighter 2, Virtua Cop 2, Daytona USA Deluxe.All in a single disc named Sega CD 3
But it can only support with 16-bit windows version.my version windows is now home premium 64-bit.
I tried the windows virtual PC, but it can not install too... >< i="" wanted="" to="" play="" this="" game="" so="">
No idea how to solve this problem?«I tried the windows virtual PC, but it can not install too...» »
The XP Mode , which is available with Win7 Pro is more for business software and is not suitable
for the games because there is no d3d.
The problem is perhaps more to do with the game using a 16-bit installation program that is not compatible
with 64-bit Windows, as the game itself. Many of these games will be run on 64-bit Windows
installed.
If you can install the game on another computer that uses 32-bit Windows, it may work
After copying on your 64-bit Windows.
Do not copy the default game Program Files (x 86). Use another Partition, HARD drive or create
a new folder in C:\ install games there (to avoid the problems of "permissions").
-Some games also have fans sites, where you can download installers who are suitable for 64-bit
Windows.
-If the game is quite old to run in the BACK and then BOX BACK is the best option.
D - Fend Reloaded: Overview -D - Fend Reloaded BOX BACK beams with a user interface
(I have not tried yet myself).
-There are other Virtual Machines that can run when the game does not work in DOS-
| MG | Download VirtualBox 4.1.10.76836

may have a version of games or compilation, which settles with BOX BACK, you download... Close at hand!

Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.
Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings.
