Re: Tecra S11 - Dual boot Windows 7 and XP

I installed Windows 7 (from the hidden to the hardrive recovery section) on my new Tecra S11. I would like to know if I can use the Windows XP
recovery media provided by Toshiba to create a dual boot Windows 7/Windows XP rather than go back to XP?

Hi dualboot.

As far as I know it of not possible to create a dual boot with XP and Windows 7 Toshiba Recovery disk. The problem is that the recovery disk erases the entire HARD disk, so there is no option to create a dual boot with another operating system.

If you want XP too you need to a normal XP installation disk Microsoft or you use virtualization of Windows 7 XP mode, if some n t applications run on Windows 7. ;)

  • How much better the partition of the HARD drive for dual boot: Windows 8 and Linux

    Hello

    I am a newbie in Windows 8, linux, Partition...

    I want to use my new laptop with windows 8 pre-installed on the following:

    Create a Dual Boot Windows 8 / Ubuntu
    Create on my drive C (single disk on my laptop):

    * a partition for the system
    * one for Windows 8
    * one for data and
    least for Ubuntu OS

    My goal is:

    -to install VmWare on Windows 8 and run Splat Checkpoint with virtual machines to make the FCTC laboratories.

    to install GNS3 on Ubuntu for CCNP Labs but with GNS3 to access the files in the data partition

    I have a Toshiba Satellite with 750 GB and 8 GB of RAM.

    According to you, what is the best size for my scores?
    Is there a better way to partition my C drive on my goal?

    Best regards

    I don't know if this is the right section, sorry for that. Feel free to move this thread in the appropriate section *.

    I think the size of partitions depends of the you want to use and install other software.
    So if you have a lot of software which runs under the Windows System I recommend to choose a larger size to win 8 partition.

    However, given that you have a 750 GB HARD drive, you could take 200GB for Win 8, 100 GB to Linux and the rest of the HARD drive size, that you can use for data.

  • How can I partition my hard drive for dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP?

    I installed Windows 7.  How do I get a partition or virtual hard disk the hardrive and then install a different OS, so that I can dual-boot between 7 and XP?

    I only know of the VHD, 7 has a "virtual machine" option or is a long process that requires a third-party software?

    Not longer than the partitioning of the HARD drive and install XP - actually quite a bit more fast I should think and gives you the ability to move from one OS to the other without having to reboot the machine.

  • Using BCD for dual boot Windows 7 and Linux on two separate hard disks

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,

    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.

  • How can I set up to dual boot Windows 7 and XP on 2 separate drives?

    I have a new hard drive and a new DVD Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit upgrade. I want to keep my old hard drive with the ability to work under XP. Can I just install my new drive in any open slot, and then start from my DVD? I'll be able to start on the player of my choice? How does with the marking of the readers? And it defaults to Windows 7 whenever I start my computer? How I will be when you start the disk with XP?

    Hi ohyanet:

    Since you are using a version of 'Upgrade' of Win7 it will assume the license of the prior XP operating system and the Microsoft EULA says that you can no longer use your XP operating system on any computer.  To dual boot with XP'd you need to buy a version "full" of Win7, not an upgrade.  When you install Win7 it will make a copy of XP called Windows.old in your drive (C :) and you can copy the files from it to your new O.S. of Win7, but you will need to re - install all the applications from the original media.)

In the properties of the computer system, he showed his & OEM Windows 7 has been activated.

I tried to download Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and installed. Windows transformed in real dos, but they gave me 30 days to activate Windows 7. The computer shop didn't give me a product key.

    You can go ahead and launch the installation and inbetween when prompted to choose the location saying "Where you want to install Windows?" Select the location of the player of your choice where you want Windows 8 to be installed.

    If you have the activation key is 'detail', you can download the ISO from Microsoft at the link below.
