• How do I set up a dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives?

  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 on Satellite A200 with Vista-XP?

  Computer details: * Satellite A200 PSAE6E... *.
  The laptop came with Vista... I managed to install Windows XP (with new drivers etc...) and it ' s working fine * BUT * after reboot, Acronis OSS does not recognize Vista and the computer starts directly with Win XP only. (I need two BONES...)

  I'm looking for a lot of instructions now of hours * dual boot *, but everyone takes for granted that I have an Installation DVD for Vista... I don't!
  Toshiba came only with the product recovery CD, so all the instructions of MBR and solutions that even Microsoft gives me (E:\boot\bootsect.exe/nt60 all...) it does nothing!

  Is there anyone out there?
  Please... If you can give me no hint at all... it would be just a miracle... Thank you

  Hello

  have you heard of 'Vistaboot'-> http://www.vistabootpro.org/

  A program that allows you to change the bootoptions, so if you want to change the boot settings, then try this program.

  Otherwise, you can also consult the "UBCD4Win" program which is a live cd of windows xp with many tools, you may find something to change the Boot Manager.

  Good luck

• No sound in Windows 7 after installing dual boot Ubuntu (Sound Blaster Audigy)

  I recently put my Windows 7 system to dual-boot with Ubuntu 9.10.

  Now, Ubuntu will play audio through my Sound Blaster Audigy, but Windows 7 will not. I reinstalled all the drivers and installed correctly. I went through the troubleshooting Control Panel section; She didn't find any problem, but there is still no sound. When I play music, volume control shows that the audio is playing.

  I can only assume that there is a problem with the installation of Ubuntu, that seems odd, since BONES are on separate partitions on my hard drive. Like I said, Ubuntu played outside the Audigy with no problems.

  Meanwhile I use my onboard sound for Win7, but I'd love to get my audigy...

  Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

  Nope checked all the possible power for audio setting in windows 7.  The only solution I found was disabling Audigy, plug in my onboard sound, allowing it and restart the computer.  On restart I could activate audigy, plug on it and activate the audigy player.  It was my only solution, but this is not going to work whenever I want to use ubuntu. No solution practice.

• Qosmio G50 - install dual boot?

  I think buy A Qosmio G50 115 or 10 H and have the dual boot Vista/XP Pro installed.

  My first question: is it possible on this laptop?

  If understand dualboot means efficiently reinstall Vista and then installing XP Pro, which would be to remove all software delivered on the machine. Qosmio G10 manual (p77, 3-12) says that there is a Toshiba tools and Utilities CD ROM, from where you can restore the drivers and applications. However, the specifications for this Qosmio on Toshiba Europe site does not include such a CD ROM

  Also (p76, 3-11) the manual says "use the recovery CD QosmioPlayer first then the recovery media product then for the restoration of the entire system. Otherwise the system will not work. »

  This means - it is impossible to reinstall Vista without using the recovery CD?

  Vista can be reinstalled on the computer, regardless of any software provided or what - "otherwise the system will not work.

  If I use the recovery CD after reinstallation of Vista in a dual boot, is - that don't joke place the dual boot?

• Dual Boot Linux and Windows with HDDRecovery problem

  Hello

  I use the dual operating system Windows Vista and Linux open SUSE distribution on Toshiba Satellite A350-10z, everything works great except Windows Recovery. I have Linux (start: dev / sda6) and Windows Vista (starting: dev / sda2). Windows has 2 partitions, C and D drive, D drive I have folder HDDRecovery. After F8 I using the option of repair and waiting, then massage is displayed "the installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer.

  Before I installed Linux recovery worked well. Is there a chance to use the HDDRecovery of Windows Disk D or I have to boot from the recovery DVD?

  In my opinion, Linux messed with partitions or the MBR and maybe that is the reason why HARD drive recovery does not seems the DVD recover is your order of ion option to restore the laptop to factory settings.
  By the way: I didn't install Linux on my laptop, but I use Linux using the Knoppix Live CD

• Satellite Pro A200: XP + Vista possible installed dual boot?

  Hello

  I don't know if I'm here the XP OS but I post because it is OS related.

  My Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7) works well with XP but I want to create a sandbox (partition) for/with Vista.

  Basically, I know that it is possible to run XP and Vista on a system. * Goal *, computers laptops satellite Pro A200 are delivered with a BIOS for XP and Vista, and with the information you need to install the right pair. For me, this means that you will install the BIOS for XP when running BIOS for Vista and XP in Vista.

  Question:
  Is it possible to install Vista on a Satellite Pro A200 with XP as main OS and have installed XP BIOS?
  Boot loader would be Acronis OSS like this charger already managing my two XP partitions.

  Thank you very much for any information!

  Best regards

  Hello

  In my opinion there is no serious reason, why you should t be able to use Xp and Vista on your Satellite Pro A200.

  Okay, there's a different BIOS for Vista 64-bit, 32-bit and Win XP, but your Vista should also work using the BIOS for Win XP.

  I have other laptops Satellite series and I m able to use XP and Vista at the same time. I mean I have a choice to start Vista or XP ;) and I m still using the old version of the BIOS.
  OK some functions are not available as FN keys, but this is not very important for me.

  Well, to cut this story, I think you can use Vista and XP without changing the BIOS ;)

• Tecra A11 (PTSE1A - 00L 005) - Dual boot with XP and Windows 7

  Hello

  Just bought a new Tecra A11 computer laptop running WIN7 Pro. Then downloaded and installΘ_ * virtual XP Pro * _ but not happy with the results that a lot of things he can do my other dual boot 17 "computer laptop with Vista/XP Pro will do.

  Background
  There are 3 partitions on the HARD disk
  1. active primary recovery 1.46 GB (without drive letter)
  2. principal asset C: start 287 Gb
  3 primary Partition 9.2 GB (no drive letter, the unknown application)

  Can I partition the C: drive in sectors 2 X 145 GB and make the new partition _ * assets * _NTFS?

  When I tried to install Xp Pro on another machine current Win7 partitioned as shown above, it 'blue preset' at the point of loading Xp using the RAID SATA CH8M-E charge via my USB FDD controller. Is it because this SATA driver is not current?

  What is the correct SATA driver?

  Does anyone know for sure that this machine will operate in dual boot Win7/Xp Pro?

  Any help much appreciated

  Peter

  Yes, you can dual-boot two versions of Windows.

  What you do is:

  Create recovery discs just in case something happens.
  Retractable C: drive at half the size.
  Create a new partition NTFS for XP.
  Download the driver for the controller SATA F6 www.intel.com
  Copy the SATA drivers on a floppy disk
  Boot from your XP (must have SP2 or SP3 slipstreamed) disc, press F6 when you are prompted to use the SATA driver on the floppy drive (to avoid the BSOD 0x0000007B)
  Configure the installation of XP to install on the partition that you created.

  When you restart, XP may have taken over and ignore Win7.
  In this case, you can restore the Win7 boot loader using EasyBCD (google is your friend)

  If the BIOS has an option of SATA controller Mode, simply activate the IDE Mode instead of the SATA driver.

• Upgrade to El Capitan has replaced the boot on Configuration partition dual boot

  I've been using find for a dual-boot my Macbook Pro with OSX and Ubuntu.  Today, I decided to upgrade my OSX Yosemite to El Capitan.

  After downloading all the 6G, which took about six hours, and the installation program, I received a prompt to restart my computer.  After that, and waiting more than 10 minutes staring at a blank screen, I pressed the power button, but nothing happened.  After doing this several times and get in trouble in the meantime, I pressed and held.  To my surprise the blank screen is having a background slightly shine completely black color.  Then, I realized that the computer was actually still on, and I interrupted probably something I shouldn't.

  Then I turned on my computer, and instead of being presented to the screen where I choose which operating system to load, I got OSX loading screen with the Apple logo and progress bar.  After some time, the OSX installer appeared and told me that it would take 19 minutes to install OSX.  However, after a minute and a half, the installer left with the message:

  OS X could not be installed on your computer

  A partition of start-up assistance is required when working with the storage of carrots.

  Exit Setup to restart your computer and try again.

  
  

  Product restarts the same result, as described above.

  Using the disk utility program, I see that I still have my Ubuntu partition, although not like OS X doesn't shows being available and has no information about it other than its size.

  As a customer, I am pretty upset by this situation.

  Why don't/that the installer should overwrite the MBR?  It's totally useless!  Why the installation program could not upgrade the OS that he treated and leave the rest alone computer?  If someone at Apple has not considered the possibility that some of their users will want to double to start their systems?

  Why are there not warnings or other information displayed during the preparation phase indicating that this would happen?  Why me staring at a screen empty while something, probably important, took place in the background and leading me to believe that my computer had hung up?  Surely a window could have been displayed saying something like "do not turn off your computer.

  Now that I have my setup porked, I need to recover from an old backup, get kind of rEFInd running again, back up my Ubuntu installation and probably delete the partition.  Then try to upgrade to El Capitan again after the download of an another 6G.  Once El Capitan is at work, I'll have to recreate the EXT4 partition and restore Ubuntu top and install rEFInd.  This seems to be an arrangement rather STUPID having to cross in 2016.

  Has anyone else had this problem?  If so, advice on how to get all this done effectively?

  New user account is not happy!

  
  

  Well, it seems that the recovery of my Time Machine backup is not so simple...

  In the setup of OS X, utilities disk is available, so I ran it.

  I've selected the partition where OS X is installed and choose the editing command-> restore from the menu, and then set the "restore from:' location to my partition backup (located on an external USB drive) and press ."

  This produces a message saying "restore process has failed. Press OK to continue.  (Continue where?)

  Open the details view showed me:

  Validation of targets...

  Validation of source...

  Could not unmount volume "/ Volumes/Image . (No end of quote)

  " Volume" (busy resource) (Who's using it?  (Not me!)

  Operation failed...

  
  

  I installed the following devices:

  SM0512F SSD APPLE (disk0)

  MyOSX (disc 1)

  HGST (disk4) external drive

  OSX_Backup (disk4s2)

  Apple Media (DIS3) disk image

  System basis of OS x (disk3s1)

  Apple Media disk image (2)

  OS X install ESD (disk2s2)

  What volumes cannot be disassembled?  Apple media disk image?  Why?  What these volumes As make me writing disk4s2 to disk1?

  I'll try to disassemble the Terminal and see if disk utility can help you.

  
  

• Dual boot between the preinstalled Vista and Linux

  I think installing dual-boot between Linux systems, for this I need to repartition the hard drive and reinstall vista and vista pre-installed that I na? t have the disc so that I only have recovery.

  Assuming that the operating system is on the machine in a hidden partition is it possible to make as if I change the custom of available to partition I lose the data recovery. Also, if it's possible here is a recommended distribution to use.

  As far as I know the recovery system resides in a hidden partition.
  On my machine, it is/dev/sda1

  After this partition (the remaining rest) there is a large partition with Vista on it.
  On my machine, it is/dev/sda2

  You can resize (i.e. minimize) / dev/sda2 partition of your distribution tool.
  Then, create a scope/dev/sda3 partition

  In/dev/sda3, you can create partitions for your Linux system

  On my machine, there is no need to reinstall Vista; Dual boot works fine.
  After the Vista partition with partition tool of opensuse 10.2 resizing Vista has conducted an audit of file system

• Dual boot XP and Windows 7

  Hi all.  I'm trying to install win7 on a XP machine for a dual-boot.  Advisor says upgrade I'm good to go.  I have an E-Machine with a single processor core AMD with 2 GB of memory.  New active partition is 60 GB.  About 30% of the file extension that the screen turns into multicoloured blocks & installation breaks down.  Tried to copy the cd to a flash drive in case the disc was bad.  Arrived at about 40%, but the result was the same.  Custom installation uses to keep active XP on HD.  Any suggestions?  TYVM.  Brad
