    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.

    Thank you

  • How to remove Windows Defender from Vista?

    Anyone know how to remove Windows Defender? It is not on the list of programs that can be uninstalled. When I try to remove it from the tree, I get a message that only a "TrustedInstaller" can remove it.

    It's been nothing but trouble I got my new PC in August. I spent in Avast and MalwareBytes, but I can't stop the system to get scans in tenacious Defender. I wanted to get rid of it because it will not update install. It keeps telling me that there are updates available, but the progress bar comes in with a small piece of the execution and the stalls.

    Updates Windows continues to tell me it is another Defender update available and also stops at install.

    Looks like Microsoft could do a better job of coordinating its products. I'm ready to throw the new computer and become a ludites.

    Help!

    I uninstall Norton before that I installed Avast. I went to 'Services' and 'arrested' Defender. Then I went to 'Properties' and 'Disabled' Defender. This should at least stop notifications. You can't repeat to you, I got it.

  • Tecra A10 - dual boot XP and Windows 7

    Can I set up my Tecra A10 Windows 7 from dual boot with XP?

    Any ideas. Bobg

    Hello

    Of course, you can do a system dual boot with both operating systems. But before you change anything on the HARD drive partitions you create the Toshiba Recovery disk if you didn t it yet. With this record, you can restore the factory settings every time.

    Generally if you have installed Windows 7 first of all you need to create a new partition for Windows XP. You can install XP on this partition and you need to change the boot sector using EasyBCD or another tool.

    In your case, I would ask Google you'll find hundreds of tutorials how to make a system dual-boot. ;)

  • How to remove an item from my desk top which I no longer use

    How to remove an item from my counter top who no longer need. I have windows vista home premium and internet exployer 9

    Hi elsie,

    Right-click on the shortcut, the program, or folder, then click on remove.  That's all.  If this does not work, try to use one of the following free products to remove the file/folder/shortcut: Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php these programs often work when the functions of removing normal do not work correctly.

    If it still does not work, try a clean boot (Vista and W7) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135. If you delete the file, then the problem was that there was a conflict or it cannot be deleted because it is run.  Once don't forget to reset your system back to the normal state, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work. If you are using XP, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316434.

    If this does not work, then start safe mode and try to delete the component of office from there (assuming it to be displayed).  If this does not work, you will need to log in as an administrator and try to delete the item in Windows Explorer in the C:\Users\\Desktop folder for this user and perhaps also any user originally installed the software (perhaps the administrator account).  It may be necessary to do both clean or Safe Mode boot mode (and using the extraordinary remove programs mentioned above as well).

    I believe one of the above will work (and hope the answer is one of the simplest at the top rather than the more complicated to those who follow).

    If you want to remove the underlying program that applies an executable or shortcut icon, go to Control Panel / programs and features.  Find the program is no longer you want, right-click on it and select delete or uninstall or delete (all that appears) and that should also remove the program and probably/possibly the icon at the same time.  Be careful here if - because if you upgrade the program, remove the program related to the icon or folder, if he got somehow placed on the desktop instead of Program Files (unless completely separate program updated as shown in programs and features - so you see both an old and a new version) could cause problems with the new program.  In essence, don't forget when you delete what you really want to delete and it removes this and nothing else.  I recommend the creation of a system restore point before you do.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How to remove the newline from the query output?

    Hello

    How to remove the newline from the query output?
    have tried to replace select (column_name, Chr (10), ' ') from table_name.

    Published by: GreenHorn 11 Sep, 2008 12:53 AM

    Please consider, that windows uses a sequence of chr13 | Chr (10) Unix uses only a single character CHR (10).
    The new line characters may depend on the operating system.

    You might consider with:

    Replace (replace (column_name, Chr (13) |)) CHR (10), ' '), CHR (10),' ')

  • How to remove a Word from the default dictionary of firefox?

    How to remove a Word from the default dictionary of firefox?
    If I wanted to remove the word 'dog' or 'and' for example

    There may be a range of reasons for wanting to do this, including the deletion of the words you use rarely as similar to other common spellings used words for example. "minute" and "Minuet", delete the words that you find personally offensive, or removing words that, because of linguistic or cultural background, you would not consider words at all.

    Note that I'm not asking how to remove my 'dictionary' words, words that I added myself.

    Hello

    I talked to a few people and I think I'm able to help you with this.

    There are two dictionary files, the default that comes with your version of Firefox and personal 'custom' that you create yourself with phrases and words.

    If you want to change the personal;

    1. Copy Subject: support and paste into the address bar.
    2. Next to the profile folder, click the marked File Show
    3. Find the file persdict.dat. Rename a text file, open, modify, re save it as persdict.dat and replace.

    If you want to change the default dictionary, it could be more of a problem and a lot more technique to do. I would recommend that you look at the problem differently and consider filtering of pages based on inappropriate content using Add-ons such as ProCon Latte Content Filter.

    I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look at another solution for you.
