P2V a Dual-boot server

As is generally not possible to convert a physical machine with dual-boot (multiple O) specifically

Windows 2003 and Windows 2008?  I know that 2008 is not included in the boot.ini file.

I get the error message: "FAILED: could not find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible."

Thank you

You'll need is vCenter Converter Boot CD (VMware vCenter Converter Boot CD) which will allow you to performa cold clone. When the physical

machine is booted from the vCenter Converter Boot CD, the application Converter runs on WinPE. It uses a virtual disk for its operations and leaves no footprint on the physical machine. This will allow you to represent the physical set of the HDD without having to interact with the two operating systems installed.

  • Dual boot Windows 8 on Windows server 2008 R2

    Original title: I have brought asus X 202

    I have brought asus X 202 that comes with windows 8 and I need double OS to run on it(windows_server_2008_R2).can I install it?

    When dual-boot with older versions of Windows, the earlier version (this case Server 2008 R2) must be installed first.

    I personally recommend that you run Windows Server 2008 R2 through a virtual computer program:

    You can use alternatives such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player.

  • Dual boot ESX 3.5 possible in Windows Server 2008?

    Hi all

    I was wondering if it was possible to dual boot ESX 3.5with Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V.  The reason why I asked, is that we have a partner who likes to play with these two products, but has only 2 servers, and since you need 2 + cluster servers to use the capabilities of the company in both products if we dualboot for him he would save him money that he wouldn't buy more than two servers.

    Now, I know you can dualboot ESX with LILO but it is possible with Windows Server 2008? and chaning CPU virtulizing settings in the BIOS to make it compatible with Hyper-V change anything nor prevent whatever it is on the side of ESX?

    These settings should be fine; I have a PowerEdge 2950 set like that I flip back and forth between ESX 3.5 and W2K8 + Hyper-V often enough by simply exchanging the discs, and I can run 32 and 64 bit guests on both environments...

  • . 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.

  • data transfer (Dual Boot)

    Hello

    Caused by a virus (c), I created a partition on my laptop & then installed windows on the new partition (D),

    The problem I have is I didn't have 25 gig space to create this partition (D) & after the installation of windows etc, I have very little space left (of course I wanted to

    (C) data on an external hard disk, shrink (c), extend (D) then transfer my data to (D) external hard drive then & then delete (C).
    I have now taken some of the data off the drive (35 GB of data) (C) (which I transferred in external hard drive), I am now wanting to shrink (C) 35 GB so I can extend (D) by 35 concert to then transfer data back from external hard drive) to (D) for a reason that my laptop will not let me shrink/expand (C) (D)

    Please indicate the best way to fix this?

    There are probably a few files on the C: partition that are moveable / locked prevents you to shrink the C: drive. In addition you will need a third-party utility to expand the D: partition. Also if you delete the C: partition completely you can end up with an unbootable PC.

  • Installing Oracle ERP 12.1 on Dual Boot PC

    Hello

    I would like to know if we can install Oracle E-Business suite on PC with dual boot / operating (Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003) on separate rather than guest, operating system installation partitions using Oracles Virtual Box. Please give me some feed back.

    Kind regards

    Massoud

    I read on many forums that 4 GB is sufficient if ERP is installed on the single user/single PC. Another OS 32-bit read only up to 3 to 3.5 GB of RAM. What are my options with 32 bit OS to increase the RAM.

    Yes, 4 GB would work for your personal use and you manage to run a forum 12.1 with this amount of memory. That's not counting the amount of memory required for the operating system.

    Thank you

  • (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.

  • Migrate to El Capitan in a dual boot Situation

    I have a Mac Book Pro 2011 with two internal hard drives.  (I got the optical drive, replaced by the second hard drive).  A reader has installed El Capitan.  The other disc has Snow Leopard.  I want to finish my transition to El Capitan while being able from time to time dual boot from the Snow Leopard disc in order to run some legacy applications.  Meanwhile, I have done work on "both sides of the fence" and do not want to replace or destroy data and applications that currently exist on the drive from El Capitan.

    Can I use the Migration Wizard to move most of the data and compatible applications since the Snow Leopard disc to the drive of El Capitan?  Or who will overwrite what already exists on the disk of El Capitan?  Or can / should I I manually copy data and applications from one disk to the other?  My end goal is Snow Leopard "skeleton" for legacy applications, thanks to the drive of El Capitan being my main boot drive.

    Hope this makes some sense.

    When I had this situation, I did a manual copy, so I would have more control over what was copied and where he went.

  • 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.

  • 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.
