Need code Win/XP boot.ini to boot Win7-System Restore from boot on another drive Manager

I'm migrating to Windows/7 Pro x 64 Win/XP Pro SP3 system on a tower of M58p 3063-B8U PC.  I would like to encode a Win/XP Pro boot.ini file line beginning on screen (choice of Windows 7 or system restore) boot manager which is located on a different hard drive, installed in the PC.   I find that F12 on the ThinkCentre BIOS screen is delicate and does not reliably to the top of the boot list, so for the weeks I'm going to need Win/XP Pro SP3, I want to select the hard drive Win/7 Pro SP1 via a Win/XP Pro boot.ini file entry.   As always, your help is greatly appreciated.

The end result is two panels 'boot' if Win/XP Pro is not enabled: the original boot.ini Win/XP Pro and the Windows 7 Boot Manager Panel and the restoration of the system that starts Windows/7 Pro in about 5 seconds.

Thanks for your comment.

It is a forum of thinkvantage technologies, so the recommendation to move to win7 discussion group. Never, I said that there is a problem with win7

Your request can be resolved simply.

Help to change the file Boot.ini in XP does not work.  XP knows zero on a win7 bcd. Win7 does not have a ntloader.

You have 2 hard drives, 1 with xp, 1 with win7.

Follow the link to sevenfourms:

(1) set the bios to boot from hdd win7

You can see your screen. Now the BIOS is out of the picture.

(2) use easyBCD to add your xp system to the BCD

(3) during startup, you can select xp or all your options to win7.

(4) when the transfer goes xp, it will present (second form), who will all be choices coded in the boot.ini file.

I think that will solve your request.

(5) Note: the Bios selects the first active partition to find a boot loader, in this case, it should be win7.  on the HARD drive provided 1 in the boot list.

(6) If you start to XP, you will also have the issue of win7 all deletion of restore points.

(7) http://superuser.com/questions/225770/migrating-windows-xp-boot-ini-settings-to-windows-7-boot-loade...

(8) personally, I unplug the Sata cable on xp then boot in win7 and vice versa.

(9) Please stay on topic<>

The sevenfourns post also shows how to add win7 for start XP.  This also requires easybcd to add the loader win7 on xp system.

Good luck.

    I think you don t know a fact. The diskette of starting in not necessary but you need a compatible CD/DVD player if you want to start from the CD or DVD.

    The Portege M200 supports the recovery through the BIOS (by pressing 'C') with the USB 2.0 card and PCMCIA (16-bit and Cardbus).

    _Following and controllers (USB, PCMCIA) can be used: _

    This means that you have nothing to change in the BIOS, because it is the default value.

    The choice is yours.

  • Win 7 Boot camp on Mountain Lion. Upgrade to Mac OS Sierra destroy boot camp?

    HI people,

  • Code 0cx0000225 Windows Boot Manager

    When trying to install Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit OEM) on a machine that I had built just the disk booted from the DVD OK drive, load it "load files in memory" and "starting Windows" appeared briefly followed by a Windows Boot Manager screen.  He said that 'an unexpected error occurred' and "Windows was able to start" (as I couldn't understand as mine!).  He said that this may have been "the result of a recent change of hardware or software.  The given code is '0cx0000225 '.

    When clicking 'next' you're presented with another screen and asked to choose an operating system.  The only choice is "Windows Setup [EMS allows] ' or 'tools' may run with a diagnosis of memory being the only choice.  Select "Windows Setup [active MDT]" puts you in a loop.  I've run the memory test and it found no errors.  The problem could not be the result of "software changes" since he had no installed, and I checked all the equipment of direct substitution, to include card motherboard and CPU.  Everything looks good except in the eyes of Windows Boot Manager!

    Frustrated, I tried to install Windows Vista Ultimate (64 bit) with the same results.  The machine has an AMD Phenom II x 4 (925) CPU on a card mother ASUS M4A89GTD Pro/USB3.  It has 8 GB of DDR3 RAM 1333 MHz (PC3-10600).  The unformatted hard drive is a 1 to Seagate ST31000521AS.  I checked all the cables and other connections.  I've also been repeatedly CMOS and try some ideas without result.  Over the years, I have built more than 500 systems, but I have to admit that I am at my wits end with this one!  someone help?

    See the following article on this problem with Windows 7 and how a person was able to solve it.  Maybe this could work for you as well. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itproinstall/thread/49db278b-bd0a-495e-8b50-7287a5bb840f.  Before you remove anything, just start by reducing the minimum required RAM and see if only the round is played.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to use "System Restore" using the USB boot-able.

    Some updates are being installed and I have turned off, now Vista does not load normally. Instead, Windows loading process is interrupted by error 'blue screen of death '.  Now, I have a USB boot-able with Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. When I boot with my USB boot-able and select 'Repair your system', it shows the dialog box 'System Restore Options. " There are no BONES in the list, so I click on "Load drivers", an "Open" dialog box appears.

    1. in the "Open" dialog box, I don't know which file (s) to locate.

    If I cancel and click on 'Next', another windows appears. Then, I select "System Restore". A message pops up saying something like: «to perform an offline system restore, you must specify which Windows installation you want to restore...» For example, enter the command:
    Rstrui.exe /OFFLINE:C:WINDOWS.

    2. I don't know where I have to give this command.

    My HP dv6700 s system. When I bought it, Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit was already installed. But I do not remember the activation code now. And so I can't even contact support and help from microsoft.

    Kindly help me.

    HP gives you the opportunity to make the Vista startup repair from the diagnostic menu? I thought that this was the case. Have you checked? There is a reason for the message warning about don't turn off your computer while updates are being installed and you may need to restore the State of the plant.

    To answer your original question, the drivers that are sought are disk SATA controller drivers. You get them from HP website and set on a (non-bootable) USB to use at the point of "pilots charge."

    If you can not solve this problem, you can copy your data to an external hard drive by booting with a Linux Live like Knoppix or Ubuntu distro from a bootable USB. Then restore the computer as long as the plant. HPs factory to start the recovery process by pressing F11 when the computer starts, but there will be a message about what function key to use.

  • Boot from an external HARD drive via USB

    I have an 8200 Elite SFF and wants to start an alternative system (not Linux, but * NIX - like BONE) of a disk external DRIVE, connected via a USB port. My main operating system is WIN 7 64 bit, but for some special tasks I´d like to use the alternative OS. It worked without any problem on my two previous stand-alone - elected USB as a boot device in the BIOS boot menu and it starts fine.  However, on my Compaq 8200 there no USB option in the start menu. However, when I connect the external HARD drive to a USB port, the name of the HARD disk appears in the start menu, but again, it won't start him.  Have heard that there is a tweak to fix this, or maybe I m wrong. Alternatively, my stand-alone motherboard just can´t boot from an external hard drive via USB? Any ideas?

    Yes,

    Unplug everything plugged to the computer except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.

    Then use this method to Flash the BIOS.  It's the best way to go.

    USB Device Flash BIOS DOS

    BACK Flash (DOSFlash.exe, FlshUefi.cpu) is the Flash BIOS DOS compatible system utility that can be used from a bootable BACK storage device (where the 'BACK' refers to a number of operating systems such as FreeDOS, DR - DOS or MS-DOS). FlshUefi.cpu is the driver required for DOSFlash.exe. To Flash the BIOS of the system to a bootable USB storage device, you'll need to copy the contents of the BACK Flash file on the USB device, start the PC from the USB device and run the DOSFlash application. To see a more complete description of the BACK flash utility, view DOSFlash.txt located in the folder BACK Flash. This folder also contains the required binary BIOS image.  The binary image file is named xxx_MMmm.bin , where "xxx" is the family of BIOS, 'MM' is the major version number and "mm" is the minor version number.  This file can be copied to the root directory of any removable media USB for use with F10 setup option «Flash system ROM»

    The display of the folder BACK Flash content

    The links on this post do not work. I copied the section from the BIOS flashing instructions for the specific section you need.
