• How to install multiple operating systems

  Hi, im from the India,
  I have hp Pavilion-15-N209TX, with Windows built-in 8.1,
  I want to install anothere os (Windows 7),
  Windows 8.1 Windows 7 plus several operating systems.

  How to do this?

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  The screenshots below is from a laptop HP 15 t-j100... options and the configuration on your computer screens may differ.

  You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

  

  After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

  

  If you install from a USB key and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '.

  

  In addition, as the hard drive is partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

  

  I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

  From the top...

  (1) in Windows 8 / 8.1, reduce the "C:" partition and create a new partition of the unused space. Please see partitioning and naming of readers (Windows 8) for more information on partition in Windows 8 / 8.1.

  (2) download f6flpy-x 64.zip, extract the files/folders and place it on a USB Flash drive.

  (3) turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

  (4) when the MENU is displayed, press "F10".

  5) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", 'USB 3.0 pré-OS Config' and the value 'Auto '.

  6) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", "Startup Options" and "Secure Boot" the value 'Legacy Support' the value "Enabled" and "Disabled"

  7) press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes".

  (8) computer should restart and display "Change of operating system startup Mode"... type the four digit code, then press "ENTER".

  (9) let Windows 8 boot to the top and put the Windows 7 SP1media in the drive to DVD or a USB port, then logout / stop.

  (10) turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

  (11) when the MENU is displayed, press the key "F9" and then select the correct boot UEFI source (CD/DVD drive internal, USB drive, CD/DVD, USB Flash drive, etc.). ... Press any key to start the CD/DVD, if prompted.

  (12) select 'Language', ' time / currency ' and 'Keyboard' settings and then click "Next".

  13) click on 'install now '... Check "Accept terms" and click "next". Click on "Custom (Advanced)".

  (14) you may need to provide Intel SATA/RAID drivers at the moment...  Use the Intel SATA/RAID drivers that you previously placed on a USB Flash drive.

  (15) to follow all instructions and meet the need. Enter the Windows 7 key when asked.

  Most of the 64 - bit drivers Windows 7 for HP ENVY 15 t-j100 CTO Notebook PC drivers of Quad Edition page should work on your computer. DO NOT use any BIOS or download of the firmware from this page. Please message the Windows Device Manager (text only) "Hardware ID" of all remaining missing or unknown devices, as shown in the example below.

• Can I install two operating systems on different hard drives.

  Original title: install two versions of windows

  I have windows 7 pro 64 on a ssd

  I have two disc hd, HD plugged into the outlet of the case of the third, another ssd

  I want to install an older version of 32-bit windows on the same computer - is it possible?

  Motherboard is P8 - Z77 PRO with 32 gb CPU Intel 7037

  Keep in mind that since you already have Windows 7 Pro, you have another option more integrated.  You can download and install the XP Mode which is free and works as another task under Windows 7.  It works fine as long as you can live with the limited graphics provided.  I see with my home system, graphics card 16-bit with something as resolution 960 x 768.  If I had a higher resolution monitor, the chart may be a bit better, I use a TV 720 p to 32 "for a monitor (HDMI connected), but I know that MS has voluntarily limited the graphics of XP Mode because they did not want it to be used for the games.

  Good luck.

  Hi Nawwabym,

  A. XP is installed in the primary partition?

  B. What is the letter of the drive of the XP partition?

  C. how many partitions you have on your computer?

  To find the primary partition (Boot from Vista)

  1. click on start

  2 type Diskmgmt.msc in the search box and press on enter.

  3 disk management windows open and you will be able to see the letter of the primary partition.

  Removal of the partition that contains the original operating system on a multiboot system could render your system unusable. That partition contains system files that depends on your computer to start your computer, regardless of what OS you want to use.

  Please provide details to help you further.

• IMPOSSIBLE TO INSTALL ANY OPERATING SYSTEM

  Hello

  I bought a computer hp laptop with this specification HP Pavilion g4-1310au Notebook PC about two weeks ago. It comes with a Freedos operating system. I tried to install an operating system from windows xp and also tried to install a windows 7, but every time I have to install the operating system, the installion was interrupted with a meassage to individuals a "blue screen" error error message saying that there are problems with my hard drive and I need to check on my hard drive. This scenario came when I tried to install windows xp on it. The next thing I did is that I tried to install windows 7 on the laptop computer. But still no luck, this time the error indicates that the installation cannot continue because there is a file missing or damaged file that prevents the installation.

  I also tried to set some settings in the BIOS of the laptop as the Boot Option to start start installation in the cd/dvd from the laptop drive.

  What seems to be the problem if I'm not able to install any operating system of your laptop? Is there a way or any special instructions for me to install the operating systems in this particular type and model of your laptop?

  Your help will be much appreciated if you could guide me to solve my problem with my laptop.

  Hello.

  why I can not install any operating system in it, I came across a software that makes the

  Finally, I realized that my laptop is fine but there is a problem with the process that
  I used to make a bootable usb key. After trying the software, everything went well and

• Drive hard dead - new drive installed no operating system - XP key for that computer is portable hard disk newly installed?

  Changed the bad disk to another - XP key will transfer fees drive installed and how to make xp on the fresh drive?

  Sure. Just use the XP installation CD you used to install the operating system the first time. Or, if you have an OEM machine with a restore to original image:

  Most of notebooks and OEMs (HP, Sony, etc.) come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

  These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $20-25.

• Two operating systems; Windows 7 Professional with an option of Windows 10

  Two operating systems;  Windows 7 Professional with an option of Windows 10.

  As a Neolithic Windows, I'm comfortable with Win 7 like all my old XP applications have continued to work with Win 7.  Now I want to try to get around the current Win 10 operating system through experience to see what Win 10 offers me in every sense of the use practable. I don't want to lose the existing installation of Win7 which works well, I think to a new PC.

  I need a route which can accommodate my learning needs.  I'm open to suggestions that might involve touchscreen options to win 10 OS while keeping the mouse driven navigation for Win 7 applications.  Clues on a postcard!

  10 dual-boot Windows, you will need to buy retail (it's only free if you use it to replace Windows 7, not to start the long side).

  So first, buy an installation Windows 10 CD/USB stick to your favorite tech store and install it as a dual-boot option.

  You will find that there is no dichotomy of the 'touch' vs 'mouse' use Windows 10.  You can use the mouse as you do today in Windows 7: there is literally not a single instance of a hidden mouse-gesture-operated menu, you need to know the secret movement to activate (unlike Windows 8, Windows 10 has been designed so that a user of Windows 7 could jump in without any training).

• 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.
