Migrate to El Capitan in a dual boot Situation

• Dual Boot on a HP Pavilion DV6T

  I received my dv6t equipped by default Windows 7 on it. Use the disk manager in Windows, I partitioned the hard drive (giving Windows about 250G and leaving a 200G unformatted partition.) Everything was fine.

  I installed Debian linux on the partition not formatted. When it came time to install Grub, I said installing linux to NOT put it in the MBR, but putting it on the partition on which linux was installed. (I did in the past with a dual boot for XP without any problem.)

  When I rebooted the system, I would expect the linux partition to be ignored (because it is not yet in the equivalent of the MBR) and boot in Windows 7 system, as usual. (I would then use a live linux cd to hang the boot of linux and BCDEdit sector to set up a dual boot situation).

  However, the system now comes up with a blank screen and a blinking cursor and stays that way until I turn it off.

  Using restore disks will eliminate everything. Using a restore point did nothing.

  Is it possible to get the partition table restored without wiping the hard drive? And is there no way to get a dual boot with Windows 7 installation?

  Any help would be MUCH appreciated. Thank you.

  Resolved to myself. I started using a live cd from Knoppix. From her, I used GParted and let the windows partition the bootable partition (and the Linux one not the main bootable).

  I then used the dd to hang the boot sector of the Linux partition, save it on a USB key.

  I then rebooted into Windows and BCDEdit (?) to change the Windows Start menu. Now on a boot, a boot menu will appear with the choice of Windows 7 and Linux (with Windows being the default).

• Dual-boot-2 - MBR and GPT disks

  I built a PC with a dual-boot, with the disc has been formatted using MBR and the two OS is Vista and 7. A table is written to the MBR with pointers in the two BONES, with this visible table before the start, allowing me to choose one or the other. Well, it's logical.

  But what will happen in the following scenario? I have install Vista on an MBR disk, remove the disc, install a second disk MBR and install 7. Then I put on the first disc in the PC, attach SATA cables and press the power switch. What is going on? Do not I have a dual boot situation where pointers are not written, in other words, the dual-boot will exist only as long as both drives are connected? Or MBR a disk will have pointers to the two OS written in it, leading to the same situation to have two OS on one drive? And if the pointers are written on a drive, which makes the master, which drive is chosen and why? I guess that the chosen drive would be first in the sequence of port, for example, 0 before 1.

  And what will happen if the two drives had been formatted using GPT? Any difference?

  If you install Windows Vista on a disc (call it drive #1) and Windows 7 on another drive (disc 2) with deleted #1 disk then you will not have a dual boot system. You can choose which drive / OS you want / load (select a specific disc) in the BIOS menu when you turn on first of all of the computer. It is the same with TPG.

  If your drive is running out of space because two versions of Windows installed there is a way to move Windows 7 to another drive and do not have to perform a new installation.

• 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...

  I installed the following devices:

  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 El Capitan and the Mavericks?

  Currently I got a MacBook Pro retina 13inch end of 2013 OS X El Capitan. For various reasons, I need to be able to dual boot my mac with OS X Mavericks (I have to run the suite Adobe CS6 for College) but the same time, I want to be able to keep in front of the new software updates and use cc creative cloud at home, would it possible for me to do this or at least get off at Mavericks? The MacBook is not new, and therefore does not have a warranty so I don't have to worry to invalidate even though I'd like to keep hold of my data.

  Thank you

  In theory that Macbook can be found on the Mavericks, since it was initially delivered with the Mavericks, but not the same disc:

  My guess is that you can try this:

  a. make backups of backups backups, TimeMacine at least one backup.

  b. connect an empty external drive: Diskutility opened and partition: partition 1: table of Partition GUID and Mac OS extended (journaled).

  Run CarbonCopyCloner on your startup disk and clone the boot to the external disk, including the recovery Partition.

  Restart after that, while now the Alt (option) key: the startup list will come to the top, choose the newly formed external to start.

  If everything works this external:

  c. stop the machine again once, start it up while pressing CMD + R + Alt (option): This starts the InternetRecovery partition: choose erase and install the OS (original). This should install the Mavericks.

  Restart the mac: it should be in the Mavericks now. Install apps for the Mavericks. Restore your data to user for these applications.

  (d) given that both drives are bootable, you can now start all holding the key Alt (option) and choose the one you want.

  I'm not really sure that I forgot something, but I'm going to ask some people to enter and contribute. Wait until you are satisfied.

• (SOLVED) Profile of tuberculosis path must be reinstated to Dual boot w/each start

  Having a dual boot (W10 & Ubuntu 14.04). Configure TB on first and migrated W10 W7 all files/folders for TB to it. Worked well. Then configure Ubuntu TB. Set the path for the profiles to the location on the main disc used by W10, I can use the same files. Worked 1st time and recognized of all the folders/files/address/etc. When I re-boot of Ubuntu it says folder Profiles is missing. In the Terminal I follow these steps to fix:

  CD/usr/bin >
  . / thunderbird - profilemanager >
  Remove "default profile" >
  create new "default profile" and sets the path to the folder of old profile even on main drive >

  Again, everything works until the next reboot. So I have to re-enter the foregoing all over again! Any suggestions GREATLY appreciated!

  Congratulations. You can then mark the thread as "Solved" Please?
  Thank you.

• dual-boot 10.8 and 10.11

  Hello people - I'm running a MBPro 2011 currently dual booting OS 10.6 and 10.8.  I use my computer professionally and need to stay in the sweet spot for a variety of programs that don't play well with the latest and great artist OS versions.  The need for 10.6 fades and I want to update this partition to 10.11 to test the new operating system.  I think that El Capitan live down the cover still more strict control of the user of the operating system in a number of ways.  Can anyone tell if installation 10.11 on partition in any way with my main OS partition created 10.8 mess?

  Thank you

  It will not. Back up everything anyway.

• . PST to Outlook 2007 (including IMAP) can be shared on a dual boot system Windows XP/Win7?

  I'm migrating from Win XP Pro/32 for Win 7 Pro/64.  I dual-boot between the two while I migrate and test applications.  During the test, I would like to have Outlook 2007 use the same mail/calendar/contacts /... on both systems.  Among the files of e-mail are IMAP which seems to make the process more difficult.  Is this possible?

  Thank you!

  This can happen absolutely not.  I do it.

  Before you do anything, make a copy of your default PST.  Nothing of what I describe should affect your data somehow, but you can't be too sure.

  You don't have to worry about IMAP accounts.  IMAP accounts always have their own sets of folder, but given that the data are kept on the server, two prospects will see the same data.  In order to see your default folders, then Outlook closed (on a partition), move the PST file to a folder that can see the two partitions.  I have two partitions (XP and 7 on the other) on my main drive and I put my PST in a folder on a second disc.  After you move the PST file, start Outlook.  He will complain that it cannot see its records and give you a file browser window.  Navigate to the new location of your default PST, select it and click OK.  Outlook open and look exactly as it did before.

  Close Outlook and start the other partition.  Open the mail applet in the control panel (you may need to enable the 32-bit Control Panel), click the data files button, click Add and browse to the shared PST file.  Select it and click OK.  Now, click on set as default to make the place of delivery.  This will make the default folders (calendar, Contacts, Inbox, etc.) Similarly to the second partition.  Close the control panel and starting Microsoft Outlook.  You should see exactly what you saw on the other partition.

  You will also see the old PST, if you have one configured and you can move all data you want form saved the old default files in the new default folders by opening each folder, by selecting all the data with Ctrl + A and moving the selection.  (You can use copy instead if you want to have the original PST as a partial backup.)  For the calendar, you must select a table as per prior category view works Ctrl + A.

• Dual boot Win7 32 bit and the 64 bit Win8?

  In anticipation to Windows 8 be accessible to the masses, I would like to know what are the possibilities to install 64-bit Windows 8 when Windows 7 32-bit is already installed.

  Would Windows 7 32 bit and all the 32-bit drivers need to be reinstalled with the 64-bit versions?

  Which means a complete reinstallation of parameters/data and applications existing/installed all be kept or partition the hard disk drive and to start new to new is the only solution?

  Or install another hard drive would be more appropriate?

  Would Windows 7 32 bit and all the 32-bit drivers need to be reinstalled with the 64-bit versions?

  If you dual-boot Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 8, you will need to install the 64-bit native drivers. Windows 8 and 7 64 bit do not support 32-bit drivers.

  Which means a complete reinstallation of parameters/data and applications existing/installed all be kept or partition the hard disk drive and to start new to new is the only solution?

  Yes, you will have to reinstall applications too. You will be able to migrate your personal files and settings by using the Windows Easy Transfer utility.

  Or install another hard drive would be more appropriate?

  You can install it on another partition or hard disk. If you are installing on another partition or hard drive, you will need a full version of Windows 8.

• Need a help of activating/deactivating the dual-boot...

  Having learned that with ADOBE, there is always a nightmare scenario, I stop in my tracks until you get more information.

  As mentioned in another post, I created a dual-boot for installation - WinXP-64-bit and Win7-64 bit - so I can possibly migrate to Win7.

  I installed (off-trial) Production Premium CS4 in the Win7 partition without any problems. Open PrPro and exported using still and my codec preferred. So far so good.

  As expected, I got the message "Excuse the interruption" telling me that there are already two copies with the same serial number-I have one on my laptop and the other is, of course, in the partition of Win XP on the same computer and HDD as this new facility.

  I chose the "30 days to solve the problem" option.

  It was then that I was able to migrate my preferences, keyboard & other presets for Win7 install and confirm their proper functioning before activation.

  PITA #1-XP, presets, prefs, etc., can be found in "c:\Documents and Pro\4.0\ Data\Adobe\Premiere Data."

  In Win7, they are located in "c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0\.» It is a hidden folder, so you must go to the Options\View folder and check "Show hidden folders". I think that it is now in control Panel\Settings (I got by a help link so I don't know, but it is not in the 'Tools' folder headers).

  PITA #2 - after copying my PrPro presets, keyboard, Pref settings, etc., to the above address, I tried to open PrPro in Win7 to confirm everything. It was about an hour after my previous session. But now I no longer get the option "30 days"! Only "activate" 'buy a license' or 'Quit '!

  PITA #3 - since I do not know how the deactivation and Activation work, I'm not about to go further. Given that the two copies are on the same physical computer and the hard drive, they obviously cannot be made online at the same time. I fear that whatever happens to end Adobe that will not see Disabling or will not properly activate the new installation and then I'll be left with nothing operational. If they cannot keep track of the start date of the new facility and wiped out the trial of 30 days in an hour, I don't have a lot of confidence that the activation process will go so well. I think that there are a limited number of activations as well, and I don't know what this applies to the or how it works. I can see a scenario where I have to re - activate Win XP partition to try to find something and then get stuck there because I've used up my activations and can't reactivate the Win7 partition.

  Anyone has any ideas on this...?

  TIA,

  Hi fuaho,

  According to my experience, disable via the About menu was fairly reliable, and you get immediate confirmation that it happened. In the past, in CS2 era, if you had more than 2 versions of the license that were still open, you could call Adobe and explain to them and they would activate it manually again. I had people logic, understanding when I called. Another time, I had a hard drive accident and failed to disable.

  You can try to call them and talk about them on the phone, because it's a matter of series/license. Just a thought.

• Sierra takes in dual boot with Boot Camp? Laminated through 25 pages. Did not direct discussions or responses.

  Installation of Microsoft Windows need to run Microsoft 'Access', which is not available to OX. Until I try to install OX 10.0.2 does anyone know if it supports the dual boot with BootCamp or similar? Thank you!

  Boot Camp creates a Windows partition on the internal disk and allows the computer to be switched between Mac OS X and Windows, but not to have two OS running at the same time. make products such as VirtualBox.

• Dual Boot Windows 10 error

  Greetings!

  I have a MacBook Early 2015 Pro 13 "i5 2.7 GHz, 16 GB of RAM and 128 GB SSD.

  I decided to dual boot my mac with Windows 64-bit 10 and I downloaded the file ISO 10 64-bit Windows, and when I tried to use the Bootcamp Assistant to install it, it gave me the following error message:

• Dual-boot Windows and Linux, but Linux has calendar, TB 31.0

  I'm using Linux Mint and Windows 7 dual-boot. I have TB 31.0 installed on each operating system. TB Linux has a capacity of calendar; in Windows, there is nothing (by nothing, I mean no calendars - I can't see their properties, for example, access somehow).

  I should add that Windows and Linux TB programs share the same profile folder (located on a separate partition), therefore, all of the same modules, passwords, etc.

  The error console records the following:

  Timestamp: 14/08/2014-18:41:33
  Error: Components.classes['@ [cid] is undefined
  Source file: resource://calendar/modules/calUtils.jsm-> file:///P:/PortableApps/ThunderbirdPortable/Data/profile/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/calendar-js/calUtils.js
  Online: 17

  There are a variety of flow on the errors related to this.

  My apologies for posting this in this way; I intend to submit this via the crashreporter, but I can't get the program crash with this error earlier.

  An answer to my own question: it turns out that, while sharing a profile works quite well for most of the cases, with lightning, he does not, like the extension has different versions of Linux and Windows. The problem is solved very simply: by not using is not the same profile for each version.

  Glad to see that no one takes on this one (except me, of course).

• Can not start my Mac Book Pro Apple on Dual Boot

  Hey guys - need help

  I have a 2015 Mac Book Pro that I have a dual boot with Windows 10 of setting, everything went well, but I found that I had lost the ability to open any program in Windows, installation of 'apps' thedesktop went, Edge Windows, search etc had disappeared off the coast of the taskbar. Restoring Windows installation wouldn't work, so did a repair through the control panel within Windows 10 who worked and everything in Windows was back to normal.

  But now, I find that I can not boot into the side MAC from my laptop, if I go into my PC the "Bootcamp" of my SSD drive partition is there but no side of MAC.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Try to start by holding down the Option key.

• 24 b017c: 24 - b017c dual boot with Win7 possible?

  The b017c is capable of running WIN7 pro in anyway shape?

  I really need to do a system dual boot with WIN7 If Yes.  WIN10 is not be nice to some specific software Attorney that I need to have to work for a client. Win7 is the latest OS, this software is compatible with before an upgrade of expensive software can't be compatible with Win8 or higher (we're talking $1000-2000 range).

  I tried to install WIN7 on this computer after the partitioning of the disk space, and put out several settings in the bios (I had error btw), but WIN7 keeps hanging in the first screen after loading the drivers (language selection screen). Something happens where ports USB closing killing all connections to the mouse and keyboard. I have tried many changes in the bios settings and a retry of the WIN7 Installer (from an installation disc) but no dice.

  Is there a certain combination of settings that must be disabled in the bios to get the win7 Installer right or I'm screwed?

  Thanks for any help

  What an adventure!

  As you discovered, you must completely format the drive as one or the other (GPT or MBR).  You cannot format a GPT partition and the other in the MBR.

  I wonder if you had back and disabled the legacy mode, if W7 would let you install on the GPT - or partition if the disabling legacy mode would also have permitted secure boot.

  In any case, it's water under the bridge.
