• Activating/Deactivating the sound (Cap 9)?

  Hello

  I know sound can be turned off once in the settings, but I would like an advanced version of action/javascript for it.

  For the moment, I have a square, which is located below a tick, and I love it when the tick is pressed, it hides (I already do) and disables clicks. Then, when you click on the empty box, tick watch once again (I already do) and turns the nattering turn it back on.

  If you know all the methods that allow me to do this several times in the project with only these two objects, please teach me.

  Thank you in advance.

  You can only cut all sound equity advances/shared, not just clicks. Muting happens by activating / deactivating the system variable cpCmndMute, which is a Boolean value.

  I blogged about common actions for toggle buttons: 1 share = 5 buttons toggle - Captivate blog

  You can use this action and add the command to hide/show the tick. I don't know how you realize right now: hide/show or States?

• Questions on the Dual-Boot Linux/Win8 on Inspiron 15R

  I'm sorry that there are so many questions, I always try to understand all my options before doing anything permanent. Thanks in advance for any help :)

  1. If I use "Dell Backup and Recovery", the reinstallation disks will allow me to do a completely clean install of win 8?

  No it won't be a "clean" installation This will be a facility of factory settings. i.e. Windows pre-installed drivers and preinstalled software such as McAfee. Make sure that you install Dell Backup and Recovery version 1.7.1.2 before using it. See here for more details:

  

  You need a DVD of resettlement to clean install, call Support Dell technique for her.

  2. relocation records re-create the configuration factory of partitioning and include backup partition?

  USB recovery will recreate the system partition.

  3. can I move the backup partition that is pre-installed in other media (I have 4 partitions for dual boot-Win8 need, root, / Home, swap)?

  You will have problems this, unless you can get several disks in your system and have a Linux hard drive and a hard disk of Windows separately.

  4. can I leave the backup partition, have my 3 partitions for Linux, no Win partition and reinstall Windows from backup partition should I have to?

  No it does not work like that, you will not be able to boot from the partition recovery making it useless. However, you can start Recovery USB.

  5. can I choose what software is installed when I create/use the backup disks?

  No, as mentioned previously this is not not a "clean" installation and drivers and software preloaded such as McAfee will be included.

  6. can I add software that I installed when I create the backup disks?

  Not unless you get a DVD to reinstall and then install all your software on 1 large Windows partition with nothing else on the disc, then use Dell backup and restore. Or you buy a premium version of Dell backup and restore.

  7. should I have the Windows product key to reinstall? If Yes, where is it? (no sticker on the bottom of the laptop)

  Integrated sound in BIOS here:

  

  8. can I use the product key or from backup disks to run Win 8 in a virtual machine under Linux?

  No, you cannot license is OEM and the virtual machine has a virtual BIOS which will be recognized as another computer. It will not work and you will have problems to activate product. Media created with DBaR does not work on a virtual Dell BIOS or not.

  9. can I run Windows on a Flash DRIVE (or SD) as I can with Linux?

  N °

  10. can I install Win 8 to an external hard drive?

  N °

  10. is it better to shrink the Windows partition and reinstall Windows on a partition?

  Its usually best to clean install. However, it is the DVD of resettlement.

  11. how small the Windows partition can be?

  It depends on how much you want to add. At least 20 GB however.

  12. Windows will be able to access the/home partition? If not, is there a way to set up a separate partition for/home on Windows, Linux can access? Or do the / Home partition readable for Windows?

  You can make a partition for Windows and Linux to share.

  13. do not set up the dual boot somehow cancel my warranty on the hardware of the laptop?

  No, the warranty is for the hardware and not software. Dell you normally would have to restore the system to factory settings if help you hollow troubleshooting Windows so only. They will still carry the material well.

  14. If I end up doing a boot of Linux and using Wine for Windows software, which will void my warranty?

  N ° Ditto as above.

  15 is it my laptop to change any empty not compatible equipment (possibly wireless card) the warranty on the material of the opening?

  He should be ok, as long as you don't damage it. Usually, these interchangeable parts are readily available. Confer with the user manual at the parts remove.

  16. given that the laptop came with Win 8, is it possible to install older versions of Win on it instead of 8?

  Windows 7 64 bit can be installed, but you will need a new Windows license unless it came with Windows 8.0/8.1 Professional (in this case, you can use downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional). You may have trouble with older versions.

  17. given that the laptop is equipped with Internet Explorer, can I copy this program and run it in wine? (It's really the software only Windows only, that I need, to test software)

  I don't have much experience with wine, but it is not as simple as copying a .exe for IE11.

  Can I install windows 8 pro update on a system dual boot (XP, 7 ongoing) replacing of windows 7, but keep the dual boot ability so that I can run the XP apps that only seem to work on XP?

  Yes, you can use the installation of Windows 7 to qualify for the upgrade to Windows 8.

  You can then install Windows 8 on Windows 7 partition and dual boot with XP.

  For reference - if the computer had installed XP you could not dual boot with the help of an upgrade of Windows 8.

  In addition, to back up important data before installing a new operating system is recommended.

• Satellite L500/013 - how the dual boot of Windows 7 and XP?

  Hello

  I just bougth my first laptop from Toshiba, it comes with Windows 7 Professional pre-installed. Before you start to spend hours on it, I wonder if this can be done:

  (1) I would like to use the Windows 7 Professional 64-bit mode, then

  (2) create the second partition on the hard disk to install Windows XP 32 bit on it.

  I was wondering if this is possible and what is the recommended installation sequence. First thing I need to do is to create the recovery for Windows 7 disk, so I guess I have to configure Windows 7 first of all?

  Thanks for any help
  Thomas

  > The first thing I need to do is to create the recovery for Windows 7 disk, so I guess I have to configure Windows 7 first of all?
  Well, it is highly recommended! Before you do anything with your HARD drive, you must create the recovery disk!

  I m not very well how you can set up a dual boot with Win 7 because I didn't try this, but I did using Vista.
  First you must create a second partition in Vista. This could be done in disk management.
  Then I installed Win XP on the second partition. But after installing XP I could not launch Vista because Vista boot manager was damaged by Win XP.
  To resolve this problem, I used an original disc of Vista (not recovery disc). I started the Vista DVD and it has repaired the Vista Boot Manager. In Vista, I installed EasyBCD.
  EsayBCD is a small tool that allows to add Win XP to the Vista Boot Manager s.
  After the new Vista and Win XP reboot is appeared in the Boot Manager and I could choose between the two BONES.

  I think that you need the same procedure using Win 7

  What is the SYSTEM partition?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-are-system-boot-partitions#1TC=Windows-7

  Excerpts:

  “.... The system partition contains the hardware and the startup folder indicating a computer where to look to start Windows. By default, Windows 7 creates a separate system partition when it is installed from scratch (as opposed to upgrading from a previous version of Windows) on an unpartitioned hard disk. This partition is 100 MB in size. “

  Looks like I need to remove one of the main partition above.

  And it also looks like my choices are:

  HP_TOOLS (F): 99 MB primary FAT32 Partition

  Recovery (D primary NTFS Partition 21,28 GB)

  What are the consequences of the removal of one of the scores of HP.

  I suspect the HP_TOOLS above (F and recovery (D are dependent on each other.))

  I understand, it's likely that I lose the ability to recover and have to reinstall windows directly from CD/DVD.

  But I have TO install Linux in DUAL BOOT.

  What choices do I have?

  Please advice.

  Thank you.

  Linux uses a different label than Windows. Windows using C, D, E... drive, but linux uses sda1, sda2, sda3 (sda means the disc and 1,2,3, partition) labels for partitions. The sda2 partition is probably the 100 MB system. Linux also uses different file systems incompatible with NTFS/FAT32 for Windows file systems. The most common are EXT2/3/4 and also swap which is something like a pagefile (pagefile.sys) on Windows. You can delete the partition HP_TOOLS of linux, but if everything works and you do not need more partitions don't do that. There are stored diagnostic utilities. However, you can create a USB key with the same properties as HP_TOOLS partition:

• 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.

  Any help woud greatly appreciated.

  Forget the drivers and all that... just a simple question "would win 8 work or not after installing XP?

  Nope.

  What follows refers to Windows 7, but the same principles apply to Windows 8:

  The following instructions will show how dual boot Windows 7 and XP on your machine instead of replacing one with the other.

   

  It is important that you have a reinstall or repair disk in case you should reinstall or repair your installation of WIndows 8.

  The following article will show you how to create a repair disk (Windows 7, the same instructions for Windows 8 references):

  http://notebooks.com/2011/02/09/how-to-create-a-system-repair-disc-in-Windows-7/

   

   

  Drivers for Windows XP:

   

  You first need to know if your computer is compatible with Windows XP. Much more modern computers are gradually support for Windows XP.

   

  Create Partition

  Open a command run (press Windows + R key) on your keyboard. Then type diskmgmt.msc, and then press enter on your keyboard.

  Once the disk management is open, select the C:\ or where Windows 8 is installed.

  Right click and click on the retractable menu.

  Please wait while Windows 8 checks the available space on the disc.

  Enter the amount you want to assign.

  Click OK.

  The disk management window should display the unallocated disk space.

  --------------------------------------------

   

  Install Windows XP

  In order to install Windows XP on the partition you created, you will need to boot into your BIOS, then set it to IDE HDD mode.

  --------------------------------------------

  After you set the IDE HDD mode, you can continue to install Windows XP on the partition you created;

  Insert your Windows XP CD, and then restart your computer.

  When you are prompted to boot from the CD, do so. To do this, press any key on the keyboard.

  Windows XP will go into its configuration process.

  Once you arrive at the welcome configuration, press enter on your keyboard to start the installation process

  Press F8 on your keyboard to accept the license agreement

  Select partition

  Select Format the partition using the NTFS file system

  Press F on your keyboard to start the formatting.

  Installation files will now be copied to your hard drive

  Your system will be rebooted, the installation of Windows XP will continue

  ----------------------------------------------

   

  After Windows XP installs successfully, you will not be able to boot in Windows 8, here comes the recovery for Windows 8 disc.

  Boot from the DVD Windows 8

  (a) in the screen install now

  (b) click on repair your computer

  (c) click on Advanced Options

  (d) click on troubleshoot

  (e) click on startup repair

  (f) follow the instructions on the screen

  --------------------------------------------

  After you have repaired your installation Windows 8 and try to start it, you will notice that Windows 8 will not start.

  Boot into the BIOS again and choose the SATA hard drive mode. You will now be able to start Windows 8 again.

  -------------------------------------------

  After that, download EasyBCD and add a startup for Windows XP for Windows 8 boot manager entry;

  EasyBCD by NeoSmart Technologies would be your answer, it provides a graphical front-end to the BCDEdit Command line that makes it easy for you to set the boot settings and change the entries start on the new Windowsboot Manager. http://NeoSmart.NET/DL.php?id=1

  ------------------------------------------

  The next step is now make it possible for Windows 8 start in IDE mode.

  Here are the instructions to do this:

  http://www.Vistax64.com/general-discussion/271218-switch-AHCI-IDE-tutorial-HOWTO.html

  Welcome to all, so let me explain, I installed Windows 8 with AHCI set from the Bios, but after that I wanted to use ide (becose it starts faster) and when I put Ide from Bios, windows 7 loading screan camed upp and BSOD (blue screen of death) with a 0x0000005B error code, I tried the regedit setting thing in the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesMsahci' and then just pan the STARTING value 0 I have set it to 1 and it supposed to work, but it was a location, he always did the Bsod and I was so angry, I wanted to make it work... AND I DID IT!

  Here's the pases:
  (1) I assume that you have installed Windows Vista or Windows 8 with AHCI in the BIOS!
  Download 2) my registry fix (to add keys to the ide to regeditor) simply apply the key
  (3) now manually part regedit go to:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_Msahci
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_iaStor
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_iaStorV

  And thease three keys in the right pan, you will find a key named 'START' change all three (Msahci, iaStor, iaStorV) values from 0 to 1
  Now, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_PciIde
  , and then change the value of start on '0 '.

  (4) now that you're allmost done, restart your laptop computer and go to Bios and set between AHCI and IDE! Save the settings in the Bios and restart

  (5) Windows will be loading and VOILA! NO BSOD! , windows Vista / seven will install new Ide drivers and that you will see in the windows Device Manager you have more AHCI drivers, you have the Ide drivers!
  (6), he is invited to restart another, just restart and you will be happy

• Laptop with XP/Ubuntu Dual Boot (grub 2, not to wubi). How to safely to Windows 7 without losing the dual boot ubuntu?

  Hello

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 6400/1505 (1.73 Gz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 750 GB (7200 RPM) HARD drive) with Windows XP and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed in dual boot. I installed Ubuntu in a separate partition, not not using WUBI. Since support for XP runs in the month of April, I have to upgrade to Windows 7. I would like to know if I could pass safely XP to Windows 7 (I understand the parameters and programs cannot be transferred to the upgraded version of Windows and must be done manually) without disturbing my score of Ubutnu and the GRUB that starts when I turn on the computer. What are my options if this is not possible. I know one option is to completely wipe the hard drive and start over. But I just wanted to know if I could save my Ubuntu installation.

  PS. forgive me if this has been discussed already, please redirect.

  Thank you

  Joseph.

  To begin with, as you already know, there is no way to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7, it will have to do a clean install.  When you install Windows 7 it will rewrite the MBR and dislodge the grub, you need to reinstall GRUB after Windows installation and you need to add the Windows installation for the grub.

• create the dual boot with an external hard drive

  I want to create dual boot laptop (OS 2 in 1) in my laptop, but my internal hard drive reach maximum (3) logical partition for my windows operating system 7 is not allow me to create a new logical partition install win8 pro. I've planed to buy an external hard drive and connect with my laptop and install win8 in external hard drive and use win8 and 7. Is it possible? If possible how to create? Please give me instructions step by step.

  Hi Karthik,

  If your hard drive has enough free disk space, you can install a newer version of Windows on a separate partition and keep the earlier version of Windows on your computer. It's called a multiboot or dual-boot configuration. Every time that you start your computer, you can choose which version of Windows to run. You can also install Windows 8 on an external hard drive and use it to dual boot.

  You can see the Microsoft article below for more information about this.

  Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows/install-multiple-operating-system-multiboot#1TC=Windows-7

  I hope this helps.

  Please report if the problem persists and we will be happy to help you further.

• HP Pavilion dv6-1140ea. want to make the dual boot for Linux also

  Hello

  I just bought one of these laptops. Is really very nice. I am a software developer and want to ensure that the software I write also works under Linux.

  For this reason, I want to make my system dual boot. That means I'll need to wipe the hard drive and install from scratch.

  I am really disappointed that the laptop came not with Vista disk (s), and that the HP software I want here (assistant wireless and all that is installed to make Vista works with the card reader, lightscribe DVD, etc.) is not simply written on a separate disc.

  So, can someone please tell me the best course of action once the hard drive is to get the Windows partition as it is now with Vista and HP utilities on? I want to get free or very low cost disks that I already paid for this software.

  I really hope that it is not my option to create recovery discs. Therefore, your time! I tried their creation and halfway through the process of verification of DVD 1 drive (about an hour in the process), he said verification had not.

  I'm looking for a simple, fast and cheap way to do.

  Thank you

  PUK.

  You are welcome.

  An alternative or a safety net in case where everything goes as planned. You have a C:\SwSetup folder that contains all your driver/app installation programs. Copy on dvd before making any changes. Use your Dell drive to install Vista, using the license key of the laptop on background to activate. Use your dvd with applications/drivers to complete.
