• Re: Question about dual OS and recovery

  I want to set up a dual boot option and not need to have all your hard drive reformatted when I use the recovery disc.
  My previous machine (a non-Toshiba) only reformatted the score required for the operating system is reinstalled. But this seems not possible on Satellite?

  Hello adlanou

  As a first step, it will be interesting to know what model of laptop you have. Your opinion may be true. On older models of laptop computers, it was possible to install the recovery image on favorite partition but the recovery procedure on new models of laptops is completely different and before starting the installation of the disk recovery HARD integer will be removed and existing partition deleted.

• W520 making dual-boot

  Good day (I guess)

  I have the following problem with my image of the current system. If anyone can give me an idea, I kudo you 100 times (at least in my mind):

  If I stop docked, I can not moored to cold start - no problem. If I stop undocked, I can not undocked from cold start - no problem.

  If I stop docked and undocked cold start or the other way around, I have to restart for the upcoming system fully functional. Transient starting, I always get on the Windows 7 Desktop, but then don't be loading not some programs, the wireless card will not connect and other weird symptoms.

  What can I do to find this issue? There is nothing unusual in Windows logs.

  W520, ADATA mSATA SSD - but the symptoms exist also with the help of a HARD drive. However, the symptoms do not exist when I boot from an original image.

  Oh, one last thing: when I try to make a stop of the transition system started, it doesn't. I have to make a hard stop.

  BIOS 1.38

  Now before you say that it is a driver problem, consider how to determine that.

  I tracked down the problem. It must be coming out of my printer Brother HL-2140 (USB 2) plugged into the dock. If I unplug it, the question of dual boot disappears. I have not yet tried updating the driver, but that is next on the list.

  Weird!

  I started unplugging everything, restart, Plug one thing, then another, sheesh!

  I've yet to find a theory as to how this problem starting cold.

• HP 15-AC053TX: 15-AC053TX of HP linux dual boot and RAM upgrade question

  Hello

  I want to buy HP laptop computer 15-AC053TX for VMS running on the science of data/data. I have the following questions

  (1) will require computer support dual-boot Linux OS like Ubuntu and CentOS 64-bit?

  (2) can I upgrade RAM 16 GB? Can I pre-order with a configuration upgrade or should I upgrade later through Service to the HP customer care?

  All entries will be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Bazelaire

  It has 8 gigs in a single module, so all you have to do is add another module of 8 GB to 16. This particular model is a specific configuration and HP do not at this level off the coast of this issue of model, but you can order the same thing as a custom to order and get 16 gigs. If not upgrade memory isn't too hard on that one, and the upgrade, it'll be cheaper.

  See p. 46 here:

  Repair manuals

  Manual specifications say it tops out at 8 gigs, but this has been proven incorrect and tackling the 16 concerts if you put two x 8 concert DDR3L-1600 modules.

  Yes, you can dual boot a modern Linux distribution. Ubuntu 64 bit 15.04 and 15.10 will work off UEFI and Secure Boot for example and allow you to install right next to Windows 10 using the grub bootloader to choose your operating system at startup.

• 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).

  Your laptop of HP ENVY 17-j150ca is basically the same as my computer laptop HP ENVY 15 t-j100 CTO, only bigger. You will need to provide the Intel AHCI / RAID drivers during the first part of the installation. Please download "f6flpy-x 64.zip" of Intel Download Center. Expand this and place the file/folder on a USB key. Then;

  (1) DISABLE "Secure starting" and ACTIVATE the standby mode 'legacy' in the BIOS. Save and EXIT

  (2) enter code as it is necessary to recognise the change

  (3) reboot and press 'ESC' and then 'F9' when prompted. Select "UEFI - CD/DVD" or "UEFI - USB key... and boot from the DVD of Windows 7 SP1 or a USB key.
  4) click install now
  (5) to accept the license agreement
  (6) when the option to select an installation type, click (custom)

  (7) there will be a link called it loads drivers, insert the USB stick with the Intel AHCI / RAID drivers, select the USB and it should load the appropriate driver.

  (8) continue the installation by following all the guests... BE SURE TO SELECT THE PARTITION NOT USED FOR INSTALLATION

  Good luck

  Most of the Windows 7 drivers for the TouchSmart from HP ENVY 17 t-j100 CTO Notebook PC drivers of Quad Edition page should work on your computer.

• HP Pavilion 17 Laptop: SP72853: updated Diagnostics hardware UEFI and Dual boot

  On my HP Pavilion 17 laptop, I have a sollution to dual-boot Microsoft Windows 10 (upgrade to 8.1 pre-installed) and Debian Linux 8.

  In order to start Debian (my main system of fact), I disabled the feature of 'safe start' UEFI. Ago, there was news that Microsoft's UEFI specification had changed and that its previous policy of mandatory "turn off secure boot UEFI" was now an option "enable disabling secure boot UEFI.

  In other words, if I understand it, BIOS/UEFI firmware designed after that Microsoft's policy change can now either you allow to disable secure boot UEFI and allow you to use an alternative OS, such as Debian Linux or they can force UEFI secure boot on you and in this case, you cannot start a system like Debian...

  Thus, with regard to the update UEFI available for my system, SP72853, before installing... I can always disable UEFI secure boot with this update?

  Also, I noticed there is an even more recent update for my UEFI, which I assume that I will be offered to install once SP72853 has been installed. Thus, the same question about SP73263: I can always disable UEFI secure boot with this update of UEFI?

  OK, so I advanced and tested myself.

  First of all, I saved a copy of the previous update of the UEFI (SP72230), so I could go down to him if necessary.

  So I just installed the update through HP Support Assistant, and indeed I can always choose to disable Secure Boot in the BIOS setup and boot Linux very well.

  Just for info.

  EDIT: The latest update did not become an option available on HP Support Assistant now. The diagnostics UEFI version number is however one of the (5.9.0) SP72853 not the most recent one (5.9.1).

• HP ProBook 4520 s - dual boot between Win7 64 bit and Ubuntu 10

  Hello

  I just got my new HP ProBook 4520 s a few days ago and:

  (1) there were 32 bit Windows7 professional pre-installed / pre-loaded

  (2) it comes with the TWO 32-bit and 64-bit Windows7 professional DVD HP (I guess versions OEM HP)

  (3) the HD have 4 partitions in the following order

  score A 3 a) named SYSTEM

  3 (b) the parition where Win7 is installed

  (3 c) HP_RECOVERY partition

  partition HP_TOOLS 3D)

  I did a lot of dual-boot in the past years, but my question is really related to maintain the HP diagnostic tools that arise before even that any operating system is loaded... and diagnostic tools are those of the HP_TOOLS partition. For example, when I ran some diagnostic tests, after completing the tests and the boot of Win7, I see in the HP_TOOLS partition, in one of its directories, a .log file recently updated with the results of diagnostic tests. I want to assure you that I can still run powered on the laptop even after dual-boot diagnostic tools.

  Now, since I have the DVD 32 - bit and 64 - bit, I decided I want to dual-boot between Linux and 64 bit Windows7 professional. So here's what I've done so far:

  (A) has reduced the volume of Win7 Windows computer management disk management

  (B) install Win7 64 bit on top of the existing 32-bit Win7 partition, format this partition during the installation. So no more HP utility and on the installation of 64-bit programs.

  So now I have Win7 64 bit installed and professional pre-activated since it's the same notebook. Then, I realized that I really need to delete the HP_RECOVERY partition since you can have up to 4 primary partitions. So by deleting the HP_RECOVERY partition, I will be left with 3 primary partition, then I can create an extended partition to contain other partitions for Ubuntu, etc...

  But before I delete the HP_RECOVERY partition, I want to know:

  *) When starting, before even that any operating system is loaded, HP you shows options like "Diagnostics" and "recovery". How is the computer HP laptop knows that diagnoses are in the HP_TOOLS partition? How the laptop HP ProBook 4520 s knows that recovery is in the HP_RECOVERY partition?

  *) Since I have the DVD of Win7 HP (32-bit and 64-bit), I don't really have the HP_RECOVERY partition. If I delete the partition, what will happen to this start screen which gives you the possibility of "recovery"? Of course the recovery option won "t work and I don't like, but will remove the partition HP_RECOVERY won't let me boot into Win7, or any OS besides? for example it does not validate there HP_RECOVERY partition to a place before loading Win7?

  *) Then, I want to install Ubuntu, and preferably Ubuntu (or Grub also) overwrites the MBR. I prefer Grub on EasyBCD. I can easily change the configuration of grub so I can dual-boot with Windows7... But again, my question is, where does HP maintains information about diagnostic tools that they are in the HP_TOOLS partition, like the option of the diagnostic tool loading via BIOS before even any OS is loaded. Is that information in the MBR, or is it in the partition named SYSTEM?

  Summary of the questions are therefore:

  (1) where HP keeps its information that diagnostic tools are in the HP_TOOLS partition? It is in the MBR, or the SYSTEM partition, or is it stored in the BIOS hard coded to load more precisely from the location of the partition? I want to keep the ability to run Diagnostics even after you have a dual-boot installation with grub in the MBR.

  (2) deleting the HP_RECOVERY partition will prevent the workbook from loading correctly before moving to Win7, Ubuntu or any other OS?

  Just find the answer to my original question:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c01564727/c01564727.PDF?JumpID=reg_R1002_USEN

  He uses the EFI interface and seeks a partition named HP_TOOLS, which means overwrite the MBR will not affect the operation of the HP diagnostic tools.

• Set up the Dual Boot Xp32 and Xp64

  I want to set up a dual-boot for my business environment, mainly because some of my hardware will not work with the 64-bit operating system. I currently have 64-bit installed, but cannot get the 32 bit version to install, once started, it won't read the disc (I put the CD-ROM as first boot device) should I wipe it and install first 32?  Thank you

  Maybe it's a coincidence, but I have the same question 2 days ago on an old house built X Gamer computer.

  It turns out that the SATA DVD drive necessary data cable be moved to a JMicron (completely illogical) SATA port controlled instead of the Intel ICH10R SATA ports.

  What you can also try is pressed the space bar twice a second after you put first on the PC with 64-Bit CD already in the CD/DVD drive.

• Dual Boot Vista and XP in separate hard drives?

  I currently installed on a hard drive in Vista and I have an extra which is 160 GB I want to install XP on so that I can dualboot both, is it possible?

  Remember that there is no partition in question here.

  The key which makes the task easier is to preformat the drive, assign a disk label (example: WinXP) and then launch the installation.

• create partition for dual boot XP and Vista

  follow the guide step by step to install XP already installed Vista I chose option 3 and created a new partition unallocated
  of the main C: partition
  Install XP from my CD does not work, the 'install' option is disabled (write transparent)
  I tried to assign an E: to the "new volume" and followed the footsteps of th GUI, but when it came to 'Finish', says assistant "it will change the primary disks selected dynamic disks, which are unable to accommodate any other operating system than the one existing". When I confirmed, I had the opinion that "this operating system admits no dynamic disks". Close.
  Now did I have to distribute and formats the volumen again?
  How can I install XP-Home Edition my CD and after that, go to the step by step guide to create the dual boot?

  Hi Sescenti and thanks for posting.

  There are a few problems with the senario that you describe. First of all, you can not install XP on a dynamic disk. You will need to format the dynamic disk to basic disk and install from there. After loaded XP you can then convert the basic disk to a dynamic disk, but you have to be careful because if you convery the OS main partition as dynamic you can never return to the base.

  The second issue with your senario is that you first loaded Vista. If you do not load XP Yes, you can start, but because Vista was on the system, first you will need run the Vista startup repair whenever you start to XP (if you don't have some kind of Boot Manager).

  I hope this helps. Let me know id, you have any questions and let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.

  Hello world

  I'm having the following problem: I had Windows 7 as primary OS (C drive) and then installed Windows 8 (on drive D) that is of dual boot. Everything was working fine until I decided to remove Windows 7 from the drive C. I have formatted the drive using Acronis Disk Director 11. After the reboot, the computer was not bootable. I had a reistallation DVD of Vista and installed. Now, I have Windows Vista on C and Windows 8 for D drive that is not bootable. My question is how to get rid of Windows 8 without having my computer starts plu?

  Thanks in advance,

  Peter

  Hello

  try to start your computer in safe mode on Vista and remove windows 8 in d ' training of formatting it and check if the problem is resolved.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  If you still have the sam e problem then see below

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  See you soon.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista repair disc.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  There is not a disk of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  You can save your data in Mode safe, ifit loads correctly.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  You can only do a upgrade repair facility if the Service Pack on the Vista DVD is not lower than the SP installed, in your case you have installed SP2.
  DVD SP level. must be the same or higher to be able to do a repair installation.
  Your DVD must be SP2

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Unless you do regular backups, nothng is guaranteed re data.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  Hello

  Method 1:
  Try to disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

  
  Method 2:
  I also suggest that you do the startup repair using the Windows Vista installation disc and check if it works.
  If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.
  a. Insert the installation disc.
  b. restart your computer.
  Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.
  c. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
  Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
  d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
  e. click on repair your computer.
  f. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair

• Can I run dual boot Vista 32 and Windows 7 64? Can I use a upgrade disk to install the full version?

  original title: I have a simple question...

  I have Vista 32 bit.  I have two hard drives.  Vista 32 is on disk 0.  (C) I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.  I want to change the installation path on Windows 7 64 bit edition updated the software on my second drive, so I can run a system dual boot.  Windows 7 Setup will allow me to do?  I can use the version upgrade of the software for that, or do I have the full version?

  Hello

  You can't do what you want to do

  32-bit to 64-bit is NOT a upgrade path if you have always wanted to upgrade 32 bit vista

  It must be done with a clean install with a final certificate

  and you need a full license of windows 7 to install windows 7 on the 2nd hard drive

  You can dual boot vista 32-bit and 64-bit windows 7, if the manufacturer of your computer provides windows 7 drivers
