  Please see the following article with useful information about dual-boot:

  You will not be able to virtualize Windows 7 because the license would be already physically license on the host on a partition.

  Another question, you must make sure that the copy of that school license is not an upgrade. You cannot install an upgrade on a partition or a virtual machine.

  Short answer: you can't do that. Maybe if you have two hard disks (I tried didn't) but as much as I know your SP L40 has only one.
  Ask this smart guy, how to do this. Maybe it's a useful tip.

  Original title: my child has just installed win 7 but has not removed from Windows vista, how to remove vista so only 7 is running?

  Hi Tarf,

  ·        Are the two copies of Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed on the partition, or on a different partition?

  ·        At the start of Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you receive two Windows startup options?

  ·        Are you able to boot to Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed on the computer?

  You can check the following information on your computer and post back the result to help us analyze the problem and remove a copy of Windows Vista.

  Start Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed on the computer and access the computer and check the partitions in Windows to make a note where Windows 7 and Windows Vista are installed and after return of information.

  If you are able to make a note of the partition on which Windows Vista is installed, and if you are confident about it, you can start on Windows 7 and check on which Windows Vista is installed; make a backup of data in Windows Vista and later you can remove folders of Windows files, users and the program or format the partition.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

• Usable memory (RAM) less than the installed memory, showing remove Win7 dual-boot.

  Original title: "Memory (RAM): 12,00 GB (3.62 GB usable)", how can I resolve this issue and remove a dual boot Win7?

  I recently, after experincing problems (see below the Intel SSD), noticed the system said that there is only a 3.62 GB of Ram available in my computer.  I have this statement ' Installed Memory (RAM): 12,00 GB (3.62 GB usable) "the computer has always used a higher around 10-11 GB amount.

  I noticed that the Windows performance index was 5.6, after adding an Intell 240 GB SSD, it jumped to 7.6; However, now with the problems is 5.4, caused by the RAM.

  I ran the full memory diagnostics: start-up and verification of memory it says I have 12 GB of RAM can be used across both.  I asked with Asrock if my RAM and CPU compatible before buying it, and they said it was a wise decision for 970 Extreme4 motherboard.  I subsequently has inquired about the Kingston RAM and included information from a - Data, and they said they used Kingston ringout for approval process as with a - DATA, including the compatibility of the different types of RAM used together.  The RAM was tested and is placed on the store of the computer.
  This problem did not exist until I installed the Intel SSD.

  I don't have a problem with dual boot on my computer after installing a new 7 ultimate on the SSD, and when it worked normally, I atttached the old hd back into your computer, because important data it contains.  This caused a situation of dual-boot.  I did some research and jumped the drive as a slave thinks that it would not cause a problem.  How can I remove Windows 7 from the old hd and then remove the window dual-boot.  I tried the old way to change the startup configuration, however, I can't find it in 7 Ultimate SP1. I also sent the old HD and the start window remained, as the index and the usable Ram 3.62.

  My Questions as already said:
  How can I return to a usable 12 GB of RAM and return the highest Index of Exp Win?
  How the dual boot can be edited to boot from my SSD without window startup and remove window 7 my old HD eventually without formatting?

  The system configuration:

• How to create a dual boot with Vista installed on my Satellite U400?

  Hello

  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).

  Thank you

  Hello!

  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 remove a dual boot screen at startup

  My system is Windows 7 Edition running Home premium.  I transfer an ISO file (Debian) to import cheap Stick Drive on my DVD, using Img Burn and an error has occurred on the stick reader.  This intern created a dual boot screen.  There is no evidence of the files on my hard drive.  Well the screen double boot has only a selection Win-7.  I want F8 allows to access the o/s course, when I start.  Now, how can I get rid of this double splash screen and make, automatically start directly on Win - 7 and still be able to use F8.  As it used to be at the origin?

  Thank you for your help.

  Thomas

  Watch your EasyBCD entry that says displaybootmenu and he says Yes:

  

  You may need to wait for the selection of the user defined in EasyBCD.

  In EasyBCD, choose edit Boot Menu set it to look like this and save:

  

  Display settings then again:

  

  Note that if you don't have an OS installed and used EasyBCD to wait for selection the user makes the msconfig Startup tab look like this:

  

  But you can not enter this field-1 and you cannot change it to zero (should be between 3 and 999) but if you turn off your displaybootmenu in EasyBCD, it sets the time msconfig to zero.

  Oh Yes...  F8 for advanced startup options-access still works fine.

• After removing the Dual Boot, I can't delete the old partition

  Some time ago I installed an SSD and I have Windows 7 installed in Dual Boot with the Windows 7 system.
  So, I had two versions of Windows 7, which worked well.

  Now I no longer use the old system, I disabled the function of Dual Boot. I want to format the old drive, but it does not work because Windows still sees it as active system partition. In addition, I can't delete the partition.

  How can I format or delete the old partition?

  

  I already tried Msconfig, Bud that did not help. Default Msconfig begins with 'selective startup' and an operating system that is displayed in the Startup tab. When I select 'Normal Startup' there are two operating systems that are listed in the Startup tab. When I delete the old and reboot, it is back again...

  Who has the solution?

  (1) create a system repair disc (if you do not have an installation disk for Windows 7 for the version of Windows you have installed).
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-a-system-repair-disc

  (2) then remove the hard disk you want to format. Now try to start the remaining version of Windows. You should see a missing bootmgr message. Proceed to step #3.

  (3) Bootmgr is missing, message or black screen with cursor flashing
  (See method #2 in this Wiki article)
  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/wiki/Windows_7-system/Bootmgr-is-missing-message-or-black-screen-with/73fef5b7-5a7f-4910-a2b0-7219e9ec1646

  (4) after you have created the BCD store on the remaining drive (to step #3 above), it should start up on Windows and also be the partition 'Active'.

  (5) shut down the PC and set the old drive, turn on a load Windows and then delete all the remaining partitions on the old disk.

• How to clone a Dual Boot XP Installation with only files Bootloader on C:\

  For me one of the hardest things to do with a problem in a discussion text is to indicate clearly what disk and partition that I want to talk.  For those who need a refresher in the nomenclature of charger for the startup of Microsoft, it's here.  Others may wish to move on to the next paragraph.  The specification of a given partition is of the form multi (a) disk (b) rdisk (c) partition (d).  But for any ordinary computer, a = b = 0, so we cannot forget for the discussion thereon.  The c value is the number of the disk in the boot order, with the boot drive with c = 0.  The value d is the partition number with the first partition on the disk with d = 1.

  In the interests of my presentation that follows, I will refer to rdisk (0) partition (1) as r0p1, rdisk (1) partition (3) like r1p3, etc to save space and we hope to maintain a clarity of thought.

  My intention was to clone successfully my dual boot Windows XP Edition family, and Windows XP Pro installation from a larger drive to a smaller drive.  Unfortunately, technical cloning of hard disk Partition Wizard Home failed due to the fact that there is more data on disk more capacity that fits on the smaller disk.  To be precise, there are a score of additional data on the largest drive F:\ r0p4.  So I used Partition Wizard Home to the clone C:\ r0p1 (the system partition that has the XP bootloader files), D:\ r0p2 (Windows XP Pro) and r0p3 E:\ (Windows XP Home) one at a time.  Because I'm using a disk controller hard PATA TX2 promise with the bios settings fixed, the only way to change the order in which the bios starts the disks is to change disks data wiring. I made that as simple as possible by using the two captains of PATA.  Note that the partitions that I cloned were G:\ r1p1 H:\ r1p2 and I:\ r1p3.

  To help the reader understand the placement of hard drive partition, repeat myself below.
  C:\ r0p1 Windows Bootloader files only (System, active) Bootloader of Windows r1p1 only file G:\
  Windows XP Pro H:\ r1p2 r0p2 D:\ Clone Windows XP Pro
  R0p3 Windows XP Home Edition (Boot) I:\ r1p3 E:\ Clone Windows XP Home
  R0p4 F:\ data partition

  After cloning, I made the following changes to starting XP r0p1 and r1p1 Chargers.  I added the ability to each Boot.ini file to start, r0p2, r0p3, r1p2 or r1p3 to eliminate the duty the wiring to study how the work was going.  I have created a boot loader diskette bootable with the same exact boot loader files in it, too.

  I discovered the original disc start, I could successfully start all four of XP with the r0p1 bootloader or the floppy boot loader.  But when I switched the order of disc, only the floppy drive would start in all four of XP.  The bootstrapper on r0p1 never appeared.

  I take this to mean that a redirect command where Windows is to search the bootstrapper may be necessary.  I boot from my Windows XP SP3 slipstreamed boot drive and access the repair console.  First I ran bootcfg/list and to my surprise, there is no entry found.  I took this to mean that windows searches for the bootloader files in the right place.  Is it possible to redirect windows to their position?  Think I remember reading something on the redirection of the search for the bootstrapper files.  I also thought about the command that rewrites the MBR, but got a warning that my MBR was specially built and serious consequences could occur, so I'll stop before making a misinformed choice.

  While I'm hoping for a generous person offers help, I got back to the top of all partitions on both disks using Acronis True Image.  Then if worst comes to worst, I can experiment with the controls of recovery without fear of losing all my work so far.

  Best regards
  Max

  I finally discovered that the two related errors that I made which prevented me from being able to start the operating systems Windows XP cloned using the files of Bootstrapper on the cloned C:\ partition.  Unfortunately, I had never taken the time to check the veracity of 'files bootloader being on the C:\ partition cloned'.  In fact the original C:\ partition was a primary partition, then the so-called C:\ partition "cloned" was a logical partition.  This fact makes no difference for the boot loader diskette XP that I had built, because he provided the bootloader files in a separate environment to that of the two hard drives.  But because the partition of the C:\ drive "cloned" was logical and not primary, there's no way I could do the C:\ partition "cloned" active, because only a primary partition can be active.  And the manufacturing process an active primary partition is crucial, precisely because it tells the computer where the Windows XP bootloader files.

  In my case after that I discovered that the C:\ "cloned" was logical, I used Partiton Wizard to convert it to a primary school.  But even in this case, Windows XP could not find the XP boot loader.  It was only when I started Wizard Partition a disk using and marked the partition C:\ cloned as assets that the bootloader has finally appeared.

  Even in this case I was not completely out of the Woods.  Because I had left the original source of the operating systems that are copied to the computer while the problem of bootloader, Windows had kept the previous drive letter assignments after that hard drives starting positions were exchanged.  So when I started out in what should have been Windows Home on E:\ drive, I discovered that Windows had kept the previous letter of partitions I:\.  And the drive system has even changed the C:\ drive to drive G:\.

  Less than a year, I would have thrown to the top of my hands which happened and began on with the cloning operation.  But because I googled for Windows XP system or start letter has changed, I discovered that what I had to do was to go into the registry and swap disks back E:\ and I:\ value names, and do the same for the discs back, C:\ and G:\.  And when I got to Windows XP Pro, I also had to swap the disks back D:\ and H:\ value names.  The only drive on that I had not to swap names was my original data F:\ disc.

  Finally, I believe that it is time for me to say why I went to all this trouble because I leave the two disks on the computer.  2 years 1 TB WDC Green Player is coupled to the drive controller Promise TX2 PATA is to use a SATA converter IDE, during the five year drive natively 300 GB Maxtor PATA.  Using the free software software Disk Bench with the windows pagefile disabled, I repeatedly timed 480 MB creating files on both hard drives on all the different partitions and there seems to be an advantage of the maximum speed of 10 Mbps on the old Maxtor PATA drive converted SATA drive.  But the speed of creation for the two ranges of 20 MB/sec to 65 MB/s using the PATA drive, while the beaches of SATA drive about 20 MB/sec-55 MB/sec.  It would be nice to point out, however, that the WDC Green drive is environmentally friendly, but not a 7200 RPM drive.  I plan to study if measurements with Disk Bench with the exchanged boot disks and the disabled swap file will make a difference in the time it takes to create the file.

• Windows 7 - how? -Virtual Machine, Dual Boot

  I used Windows 8 until yesterday, but I decided to upgrade to Windows 7, because it was recommended and it supports all the necessary software that we use.

  I have a virtual machine was a natural choice, but then I struggled with my COM port that did not appear in the virtual computer's Device Manager. I'm desperate

  and almost tried a dual boot, but double boots, you are supposed to install the oldest operating system first! It would mean having to completely uninstall Windows 8.1.

  Am I missing something here? What is the best way to get Windows 7 running on my laptop so I can use the COM ports and use SSH to connect to Hugues paurais?

  Thanks for reading,

  Kevin

  I use Windows 7 on an iMac using Parallels.  It works fine for me.  I do not use the COM ports.  You don't need a com to ssh port.  SSH uses the network, not a serial port.  I think one of the videos showed how to use a com port for your installation of the NIC program.  You don't need to do.  You can get the network IP configuration using a HDMI monitor and a keyboard.

• How to remove the BONES from the system and install windows 7

  I had two OS on two two different drives, vista and windows 7 by mistake my brother to the format of the other readers on which windows 7 has been installed without knowing that... so I had to start my laptop by reinstalling windows 7 on the disks by replacing Vista... now at startup, there are two options to choose the OS but only does not work (the new windows 7 I have installed). Is it possible to uninstall both Nos. While one install windows 7 on a disk...?

  Hello

  You have to format the drive that contains the former system of operation of the new plant in disk management and is should not appear more.

  or

  Re-format both drives and install the clean image of windows 7, you can format the two disks of windows 7 (click on the Advanced icon) install menu. then continue the installation.

• I can't dual boot my PC pre-installed Windows 7 with Windows XP?

  I created a primary partition on my Windows 7 PC preinstalled in freeing up space. When I start my PC the Windows XP installation CD, Windows XP will in the usual configuration process by displaying the F6 option on the screen blue etc and it unloads the controllers and disks required.  However, when the installation phase starts, an error message appears: "a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.  Continue displaying the error message "If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears the following steps - check for viruses, run Chkdsk.  It is followed by a time code error stop: 0X0000007B etc.  Please note that I checked my computer for any viruses and none have been reported.  I ran CHKDSK in guest of user privileges to administrator and windows has checked the file system had no problem.

  It is important to mention that since I managed to install a copy of Windows Vista on my PC pre-installed Windows 7 without any problem.  I can now now dual boot between the two OSs.  Unfortunately, I can not install a new genuine copy of Windows XP on my PC.  I get the same old error message after configuring setup blue screen whenever I try to install Windows XP.  Now, it seems that I have to buy another PC to install XP despite the fact that I have a lot of space on the hard drive of Windows 7 preinstalled PC.  I am aware of the fact that Windows XP uses a different startup for Windows 7/Vista file, but my computer must always allow Windows XP install.

  I am just totally baffled by the latter.   It is normally recommended to install Windows XP before Windows 7, but because my PC is preinstalled with Windows 7, this recommeded option has not been available to me.  I would appreciate any suggestion to this problem of people there.

  Thank you

  "the SATA driver will be included in the Chipset Drivers?" - Yes they are generally at least that your SATA ports are connected to a separate SATA/RAID chip.

  There are two good utilities to create a "SlipStreamed" CD
  (1) Autostreamer - easy to use. (Only not for the integration of the drivers)
  (2) nLite - which is more complex, but you can integrate drivers
  and much more. http://www.nliteos.com/nLite.html
