• Using BCD for dual boot Windows 7 and Linux on two separate hard disks

  I scoured Internet for weeks and weeks trying to answer this question with still no success whatsoever.

  What I want to know is:

  Is it possible to use the BCD to boot Windows 7 and Linux, with Windows 7 installed on the hard drive of 1 and Linux installed on the hard disk of 2?  If so, how do you prepare in advance Linux, IE Grub must be on the partition root of Linux or should it be on the second hard disk MBR and what are the bcdedit commands necessary to add an entry for Linux for the start menu in Windows 7?

  Could be read more the real problem before burn.

  Someone wants to BCD of Windows to load * since a brooch * for the ACB or MBR on the operating system on the other drive.

  Unless there is a setting BCD undoc, it cannot manage other partitions on the same physical axis starting it is on.

• How much better the partition of the HARD drive for dual boot: Windows 8 and Linux

  Hello

  I am a newbie in Windows 8, linux, Partition...

  I want to use my new laptop with windows 8 pre-installed on the following:

  Create a Dual Boot Windows 8 / Ubuntu
  Create on my drive C (single disk on my laptop):

  * a partition for the system
  * one for Windows 8
  * one for data and
  least for Ubuntu OS

  My goal is:

  -to install VmWare on Windows 8 and run Splat Checkpoint with virtual machines to make the FCTC laboratories.

  to install GNS3 on Ubuntu for CCNP Labs but with GNS3 to access the files in the data partition

  I have a Toshiba Satellite with 750 GB and 8 GB of RAM.

  According to you, what is the best size for my scores?
  Is there a better way to partition my C drive on my goal?

  Best regards

  I don't know if this is the right section, sorry for that. Feel free to move this thread in the appropriate section *.

  I think the size of partitions depends of the you want to use and install other software.
  So if you have a lot of software which runs under the Windows System I recommend to choose a larger size to win 8 partition.

  However, given that you have a 750 GB HARD drive, you could take 200GB for Win 8, 100 GB to Linux and the rest of the HARD drive size, that you can use for data.

  By the way: I found Nice YouTube video how to create a dual boot using 8 Win and Linux http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_Yd2jK-7Jg

• How can I partition my hard drive for dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP?

  I installed Windows 7.  How do I get a partition or virtual hard disk the hardrive and then install a different OS, so that I can dual-boot between 7 and XP?

  I only know of the VHD, 7 has a "virtual machine" option or is a long process that requires a third-party software?

  Not longer than the partitioning of the HARD drive and install XP - actually quite a bit more fast I should think and gives you the ability to move from one OS to the other without having to reboot the machine.

  Replace the boot wth drive a fast SSD

  Doubling of the Ram of 16 MB to 32 MB

  Add a better graphics card.

  Just struggling to find compatibel points, so everyone has any idea, what type of memory should I watch so that its compatibility with the existing 2, 8 meg sticks

  SSDS seem to be a source of confusion that mine field that I should look for use as boot drive.

  Graphics card will be limited to what the power supply can turn off, someone knows what it supports current graphics cards go.

  Thanks for any help on this.

  @Paul80, welcome to the forum.

  Here's memory and SSD who are recommended by Crucial memory.  They make great products for OEM computers.  You have to open the case and check of installed memory brand.  Then contact the Crucial Tech Support to see if their memory will be compatible.  The main problem with the addition of memory, it's buy the memory that is compatible with existing modules.

  The best way to install the SSD, it's letting the existing connected HARD disk as it came from the factory.  Connect the SSD drive to another SATA port on the motherboard.  Install the cloning software that you will use on the HARD drive.  Open and select the SSD as target disk.  Once the SSD is cloned, disconnect the HARD drive and start.  The start of shoul for the SSD system.

  As for a video, here is a card that has very good reviews.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.  It should work well with your power supply unit (PSU).

  Hello

  1. do you receive this after you see Start button or entry?

  2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

   

  Method 1: Boot errors are fixed by the clean boot.

  Perform the clean boot and see if that helps.

  A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

  Reference: How to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: when you're done to diagnose, follow step 7 in the article to start on normal startup.

   

  Method 2: Some malware parody itself as InfoCenter.exe, especially when it is located in the folder c:\windows or c:\windows\system32.

  I suggest you make a system full scan just to be sure.

  Here is a link that will give you information on how to perform a full scan of the system:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  , Note 1: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Note 2: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

• You are looking for advice or suggestions: Vmware View 4 lab on workstation 7.

  Hi guys,.

  I want to build a new laboratory virtualized on a new desktop that I ordered.  I especially want to us to do tests and the growth of knowledge on Vmware View.  I have a desktop HP on order with an i7-930 processor and 16 GB of RAM.  I also have a 7 of my cert VCP 4 Workstation license.

  I already know how build a virtualized ESX environment and allow the MV nested within this environment.  My lesson plans are to build two ESX 4 virtual machines, a VM vCenter, a virtual shared storage as a storage device and a server VMware View connection.   I think there should be enough resources on this box to have a work environment (although maybe slow).  I plan only to have two virtual desktops (XP).  I don't need virtual machines to do something more than it is, run and be able to communicate with them with PCoIP XP.

  I was hoping someone else might have already tried this and had no additional details.  If this isn't the case, I'd love to hear any suggestions.  I intend to document this lab and I'll be happy to share this document with everyone when I'm done...

  Best regards

  I have implemented this on a laptop several times. Laptops have 8 GB of memory and it was barely enough to make it usable. ; Your 16 GB of system memory and faster CPU will give you much more room to breathe

  Tip: I cut about 20% of the CPU usage on the ESX host nested running under Workstation 7 on Dell D830 computers laptops with processors T7250 in manually choosing the type of VT for ESX hosts nested rather than leave the setting at the default of Automatic.

  Also, if it is not necessary to VMotion, you could get a super-quick card Flash or SSD and point that flash all the temp, swap files and VSWP files. SSD. Someone has recently published an article on the difference in speed - Google and you will see what kind of speed increase you could get out your configuration if you are willing to spend that kind of money for quick storage.
