How to install a second operating system on a partition on the same hard drive under xp?

• Operating system does not load unless the 2nd hard drive is in.

  I have 2 installations of windows 8 (one in each of my 2 hard drives). The hard drive is almost broken, but it seems that if I unplug it I won't get a screen asking me which operating system to load from. I want it so I have 1 hard disk whereas my os works can start. How to do this?

  Looks like all the boot information on the main active hard drive. If this drive is not available, then the other operating system is not available. Reconnect the drive which can boot into Windows 8 and create recovery media that allows you to recover the drive which is not booting:

• When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

  Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

  Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.
  Look for any loose hard drive power or cables SATA, graphics card or other power cables.

  First run Memtest86 +:
  It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory
  sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

• How to run windows 7 on the laptop already installed windows 8 from the same hard drive

  Hello

  I use a computer dell laptop with windows 8 OS. I want to install Windows 7 as another operating system on the same laptop. I got the image file on the hard disk in a different partition. I have not found any flash drive or dvd close to home. So, is it possible to make from the same laptop?
  Thank you
  Teja

  You will need to put the contents of the ISO image of Windows 7 on a DVD/Flash drive file and start, but after that you can install it on the same hard drive.  You could take little space and divide your hard drive into multiple partitions and install on one of them, or you can create a virtual hard disk (VHD) file and install on that.

  I wrote about the VHD method on my site back when Windows 8 came out first, but it works backwards too.

• How can I install Linux (Ubuntu or Kubuntu) and Windows on the same HARD drive?

  Hello world

  I have Toshiba L20-148 and I have the Toshiba product recovery DVD and I have the DVD Ubuntu

  I'm only able to install Linux or Windows XP Pro I have with the recovery DVD

  and the only way I know to install both together by installing linux and windows... but every time I try to install windows, then factory data recovery, it is just the whole HARD disk and install windows only...

  any help?

  Hello

  As mentioned that the Toshiba Recovery CD contains image and files during the installation of the OS on the HARD drive or the partition will be formatted. In this case all data will be deleted.
  Therefore, you must create a second partition for the use of Linux. But be careful. Linux uses the special file format. Partition Magic 8 contains and supported the creation of the Linux partitions.

  So if the new partition has been created, you can install the Linux

• Old computer is dead, HARD drive still alive. Can I install windows 7 on your new computer without formatting the old HARD drive?

  My old desktop computer recently died of a motherboard failure.  As I understand it, I should be able to install windows 7 from my old computer to the new, but only if I delete the old installation.

  Does this mean that I have to format the old HARD drive?  Because the old computer HARD drive seems to be alive, I would retrieve the data on a new machine first, before I have to format and I need to install windows on the new computer to get the data from the old HARD drive.

  No, it is taken on trust that the old installation is no longer active, there is no mechanism to remove the old license in order to make a valid new. Remove the Windows directory (or rename) makes the old system inoperative.

  You find that the automatic authentication fails on new construction and need to call the licensing Center to check that you have only one installation. Apart from the OEM rules if a license has been activated too often, and recently, it fails in a 1 time.

• Install a second operating system (Windows XP) on a Satellite X 200 20 G

  Hello everyone, I need your help on the following:

  I know that many messages describe the parties what to do (I spent sometimes on then), but I would like to minimize the risk, I'm looking for the simplest and comprehensive guideline for this change.

  Why XP? Just because I run a lot of astronomy hardware and software and, well, Vista is not ready yet...
  I am satisfied with Vista for other uses, so I'll keep, install XP on the second hard drive and do a dual boot.

  First of all fear: I will have all the appropriate drivers to jump?
  I run a Satellite X 200 20 G PSPB9E-02G021FR and me found on the Toshiba support site 'certain' drivers for XP, but it seems that (at least) screen is missing...

  ==> 1) could you pls give me a link to a page that lists all the drivers for my specific system?
  ==> 2) could you pls direct me to a message that describes the steps to follow?
  ==> 3), it seems that nLite is the ideal solution to make the XP installation CD, but I guess I couldn't just throw Vista capture my drivers for XP, it's just?

  Thank you very much for your help

  Hello

  You are right. It seems that the display driver is not available because the XP seems to be is not officially supported. He s strange.
  Maybe you can try the graphics drivers from 3rd party sites such as www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com.
  But I really don t know if these drivers would work so you can install it at your own risk.

  Anyway back to other issues;
  (> ==> 1) could you pls give me a link to a page that lists all the drivers for my specific system?
  The Toshiba European driver page (I assume that you knew it) provides all the XP drivers (except the display ;) driver).

  (> ==>) 2 could you pls direct me to a post that describes the steps to follow?
  On the European driver page, you will find the installation instruction .txt file too ;)
  You must install all the drivers in the order mentioned in this doc.

  (> ==>) 3 it seems as if nLite is ideal to make the XP installation CD, but I suppose I could just run it under Vista and capture my drivers for XP, is it true?
  Hmm I think the nLite should run on Vista too. So, you can create your own XP Cd using nLite software (but you will need the original CD of Win XP too). Using the nLite, you could include the Intel Storage Manager driver that is necessary and important. Without this driver XP will not see the HARD drive!

  Good luck

• How to install P6 version 6.0 & P6 version 7 on the same PC

  Hi all
  
  I try to install version 6.0 of the P6 & P6 version 7 on the same computer, but only the recent installation works.
  If I try to fix one of the version, the other does not.
  Some body please advise.
  
  Thank you very much

  The reason is,
  The registry key entries are common and shared by all Versions of Client on your machine and not separate for each installation.
  Even if you are an expert can find a method of running multiple versions, the chances of having problems in the future are very high.

  Note:
  Oracle Primavera is unable to provide full support in case something goes wrong on a machine with several customer P6 engendered.

• Can I install Windows XP on the same hard drive?

  I had my office since 2008 and I decide to format the drive, now I need to know If I can install the same operating system (Windows XP) once formatted?

  As long as you have the CD key and product instalation, Yes.

  Do not forget to install the latest drivers from device XP (starting with the card mother/chipset driver) of the web site of the manufacturer of the computer support.

  Because I assume that you use XP with the same product key until and up to now, you may have to activate by phone.
