How to remove dual-boot Vista and leave only Windows 7?

Hello

Yesterday, I upgraded to Windows 7 Pro. I originally had Windows Vista Home Premium. I would like to delete Vista because I did not need.

I bought Windows 7 as a downlaod and have no disk or anything for her.

How can I do this?

Click Start, type: msconfig

Press enter on your keyboard

Go to the Startup tab

Select the entry you want to delete

Click on delete

Then set the time to '0'

Then click on apply and OK

Restart if prompted.

------------------------------------------

If the problem persists, try the following

Click Start, right click on computer

Click on properties

Under control panel home

Click on "advanced system settings".

Go to the Advanced tab

Under Startup and recovery, click settings

In the default operating system list, select Windows 7

Uncheck the "time to display list of operating systems".

Click OK

Then apply and OK

---------------

If it still does not respond, try the following:

    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

    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.

  • Dual Boot Vista and XP in separate hard drives?

    I currently installed on a hard drive in Vista and I have an extra which is 160 GB I want to install XP on so that I can dualboot both, is it possible?

    Remember that there is no partition in question here.

    The key which makes the task easier is to preformat the drive, assign a disk label (example: WinXP) and then launch the installation.

  • How dual boot Vista and Windows 7

    I'm using vista Home premium and want to install windows 7 a.m. premium as a dual boot. If I decide later by far with windows vista and keep only 7 How can proceed?

    Assuming that my OS is windows 7 can I use the same disk of vista on the virtual machine with the same product key.

    Vista and 7 cannot exist on the same partition as a dual boot? How to do it.

    Is ther to disadvantages in dual boot?

    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).

    Here's how Dual boot Vista with Widows7: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/5166-dual-boot-installation-windows-7-vista.html.

    Although written for other systems, the process to remove a dual boot will work with Windows7 and Vista (although you may need to use the commands and Windows7 disk): http://vistasupport.mvps.org/remove_windows_vista_from_dual_boot_system.htm depending on the situation and that was installed first.

    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite Pro A200: How to create Dual boot; Vista & XP using the recovery CD

    I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A200, which was supplied with the product for Vista and XP Recovery discs.
    The license specifically Vista also XP licenses.
    Can I set up a dual boot so that I can boot to Vista or XP? If so, how?

    I would also like a third boot, Red Hat Linux 9.
    Any comments?

    Hmmm. Usually it s possible to use two or more operating systems on the computer, but as far as I know the Toshiba Vista recovery CD formats whole disk when installing Vista and this will lead to the loss of the OS installed.
    I m not 100% sure on the recovery of the newest XP CD called RECON doesn t CD include an expert mode which allows to choose between the different partitions.

    So I guess that each use the recovery CD will format the HARD drive and erase the installed data. But of course, you can try to install the two BONES and to check if the restore XP CD allows to choose the second part of the installation of the OS.

    If it does not, it seems that you will need to an original XP from Microsoft CD or the original CD of Vista to use the two BONES.

    Best regards

  • Dual boot XP and Vista

    I have vista sp2, I have an update of XP, I also have Win 98, then I install XP and still have Vista? If I can't, I could just wipe the drive and just install XP, I try to get the old game ' keeper dungoen 1' work and I'm having NO luck with vista, as I lost my cd of vista!

    Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

    If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

    You can not do a clean install of XP with a XP upgrade disk; you need a version of XP FULL.

  • How can I recover my Vista and remove Windows?

    Hi, my daughter send me Windows 7 since the Switzerland and said it can be installed in 3 PC, I install and now can not register because it is not the case and I need to remove the Windrow and revert to Vista 32, I download the recovery disc for my Toshiba but how I can recover my Vista and Windows delete & is not unclear to me. I was told that it is very easy to do if you know how.

    > I have download the my Toshiba Recovery disk
    I put t know what you downloaded, but you have not downloaded a Toshiba Recovery disk because the recovery disc can not be downloaded!

    > but how can I recover my Vista and Windows delete
    If you have an original Toshiba recovery disc then put it in the CD/DVD drive and the start of this drive.
    The recovery disk would start and you should follow the instructions on the screen.

    Installation of recovery disk would format the whole HDD (!) which means you n t need to delete anything before starting the installation of the recovery disc! Recover disc remove everything!

  • Can I run dual boot Vista 32 and Windows 7 64? Can I use a upgrade disk to install the full version?

    original title: I have a simple question...

    I have Vista 32 bit.  I have two hard drives.  Vista 32 is on disk 0.  (C) I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.  I want to change the installation path on Windows 7 64 bit edition updated the software on my second drive, so I can run a system dual boot.  Windows 7 Setup will allow me to do?  I can use the version upgrade of the software for that, or do I have the full version?

    Hello

    You can't do what you want to do

    32-bit to 64-bit is NOT a upgrade path if you have always wanted to upgrade 32 bit vista

    It must be done with a clean install with a final certificate

    and you need a full license of windows 7 to install windows 7 on the 2nd hard drive

    You can dual boot vista 32-bit and 64-bit windows 7, if the manufacturer of your computer provides windows 7 drivers

  • Re: Problem of dual boot Win7 and WXP

    I read the complete step by step how to Setup dual boot windows 7 and xp. I have all my partitions has prepared in advance and them labeled accordingly so there is no confusion.

    I installed windows 7 on my new SATA drive. Everything went OK, except that I've never had a start this menu - at 7, it's like Windows XP Home edition was not there.
    I downloaded and installed and ran, easybcd and tried to add the menu WXP manually entry. He asks the drive and the drive with xp on it is now Windows 7, drive D (when E is I boot xp).

    All the necessary files (ntldr, boot.ini, ntdetect.com) are all on this disc. But when I try that menu entry, every computer is restart. It will start again than windows 7, unless I go into the BIOS settings and change the HDD boot order (in this list, if I do that with nr of partition Win7 1, I can boot windows 7 and only this, if I do that with nr of partition XP 1, I get my old regular boot.ini boot menu (what makes me also in my ubuntu wubi installation).)

    I would like to be able to boot in Windows XP Home edition from the Windows 7 start menu, or, Alternatively, to want to boot Windows 7 Startup menu Windows XP Home (what would be even better).

    Are there directions for me?

    Thanks in advance.

    I have more Satellite A300 with two hard drives and I've install WXP and Win7.
    What you need is the Boot Manager. When you start your laptop, you can choose which OS should start, and one of them can be set as default OS so if you n t choose anything after 30 seconds, one of them will start automatically.

    I'm using Win7 OS default.
    > I would like to be able to boot in Windows XP Home edition from the Windows 7 start menu, or, Alternatively, would like > to start Windows 7 from the start menu of Windows XP Home (what would be even better).
    I put t know if something like this is possible. If you want to change your OS, you must restart your laptop and start the second OS.

  • How can I remove "set up files" and completely reload windows xp?

    How can I remove "set up files" and completely reload windows xp? They were installed when I tried to reload xp before and there is always a sp1 on the pc version now.

    This CD should work and it should be bootable.  It seems that if you always boot from the hard drive and then you look at the content of the CD-ROM in Windows Explorer.

    If the BIOS is set to boot from the CD, you should not get a menu asking which device to boot from.  At most, you will get something like "Press any key to boot from the CD-ROM."

    You have an another bootable CD that you know works or do you have another computer you can try this CD to see if it works correctly?
