Operating systems Vista and XP can work together?

Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

Can I use Vista with my XP operating system? I don't really want Windows 7. I want to be able to use the split screen that comes with Vista.

Vista and Xp can be configured as a situation of dual boot - no problem.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Qosmio G30 - need two Windows operating systems: Vista and XP

    Hello

    can someone help me on the following application procedures:
    I need two operating systems on my Qosmio: Vista and XP
    I have two drives RAID inside my Qosmio and I installed Vista on the first.

    I tried to install XP on the second hard drive and I did (I have inserted XP installation disk and sellected second disc for installation), but after installation I got just the XP startup option.

    I can see all the files of Vista on the first disc, but allows boot XP only. Directory Windows XP was intalled on second drive, but boot.ini and some system files have been at the root of the first disc.

    I liked Vista and I repeated the procedure (with my recovery CD of Vista) and now I have Vista on the first disc and all files of XP on the second disc. I do not study how to get full XP on the second disk bootable system.

    What I need:
    Vista on the first hard drive.
    XP on the second disk

    I would have completely independent Windows System. This means that I have to start selection of BIOS, not Vista or XP.

    Hello

    It's very strange. If you have installed the first Vista and XP as a second OS then the Vista boot manager must exist usually.

    Please note that Vista uses 2 partitions. A partition is not visible. I hope that you have installed XP on this partition.

    In any case, I recommend you to create a new partition on the first HARD drive and you could install XP as second operating system.

    After this installation, you can use applications freeware like EasyBCD or VistaBootPRO to change the Vista Boot Manager.

    Method 1:
    Check if the Bluetooth services are running on the operating system.
    a. Click Start, type services.msc and press to enter.

    c. change the startup type to automatic and click on the Start button to start the service.
    d. click on apply and then click ok.
    e. check if the problem persists.

  • B200 M2 and M3 can work together?

    I have a chasis under VMware ESXi 4 blade B200M2 and we're looking to add a B200M3 blade. I have problems with moving guests between the blades of the M2 and M3 categories?

    There is no problem running ANY mix of blades in the same chassis - M1, M2 or M3.  Regard to the ESX compatibility you should probably use Enhanced VMotion (EVC) if moving between the blades with processors of different generation.   This is the case for any host hypervisor and not specific to Cisco.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I see you want to know if you can install programs on a drive with no operating system.

    I wish to inform you that this is possible with only specific programs, which give the user an option to choose where the program is installed.

    When a program is installed, it runs in program files, which lies in the operating system drive and can not be moved elsewhere.

    Another reference:

    Microsoft does not support changing the location of the program files

    Lol just a license, not two.

    In addition, even if you had two licenses, you couldn't do that. You can

  • I have a problem with my laptop system restore and I can't open it

    Original title: Please help me
    -----

    Dear friends
    I have a problem of my laptop whit system restore and I can't open it.
    A few days ago, my windows xp reboot both and colud not restart my computer. I had to use my back for recovery system because the other option as in mode without failure or last good configuration didn't ' work corectly.
    This event occure to me several times and I am very confusede on this subject. . I have latest version of avast anti virus in my laptop. Please guide me and give me your solution for my problem towing?
     
    Thank you for your kidness

    What happens and what do you see when you try to open the system restore?

    When you say things "did not work", we need to know which "did not work" means exactly... I get an error message, nothing seems to happen, the system crashes, etc.

    Try answering the following questions, the better you can:

    Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    What you see you don't think you need to see?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  • Free virtualization software takes supported Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system?

    People,

    Hello. I need to install the Windows 7 host virtualization software, and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

    VMware Workstation supports Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system, but it's not free download.

    People know that supports virtualization software free Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system invited?

    Thanks in advance.

    As I said in your previous post, VMWare Player is a free download and does not support Win7 as host and Win2k3 as a guest.  VMWare Player is also included with VMWare Workstation, you can imply that most of the time something that supports VMWare Workstation as a guest operating system is also a guests supported for the reader.

    And unlike previous versions, player 3 includes the ability to create virtual machines base.  For many people, especially those who are starting just in virtualization, player is sufficient.

    VMWare Workstation, although not free, can be installed as a 30 day trial.  After the trial, you can not start your virtual machines in my computer, but because the player is included in the installation, you can still run your virtual machines in the drive without having to uninstall anything.  So just install Workstation.  After the trial expires, if you wish that the advanced features of the workstation, then buy it.  If not, just continue to use the drive.
