• Remove dual-boot windows partitions 8

  Hi, I have a Hp probook 4530 s with windows 7 64 bit and I want to dual-boot windows 8 but I have the authorized maximum of partitions and I bought the recovery disc for windows 7 so I don't no if I should remove the recovery partition or the tools of hp, hp is pretty much empty is only using 1 mb to 5 GB , but I've heard that there a few updates to the BIOS, so safely remove one of these parties (recovery, tools, or both) to dual-boot windows 8?

  

  What I do is get a 3 TB external hard drive, or a size larger than your 500 GB. Create a widnows system repair disc 7. Use Macrium reflect free, all partitions (snapshot of the disk) backup, delete the ones that aren't needed. Tools and recovery are not necessary (but you should keep a copy so that you can go back to where you are now). The first partition contains startup information so don't get ride of that one. But even if you did and only restored the great OS partition, you could always use the system repair disc, do a startup repair and replace the boot on this single partition files and you're on your way again (it's just an extra step).

  After you remove the 2 partitions have not yet enough space to install windows 8. Go to disk management in windows 7 and shrink the partition and create a new partition in the remaining space.

• Accidentally deleted Windows 7 during the attempt to dual boot with Ubuntu

  Dear Sir/Madam,

  Service number: ADMIN NOTE: maintain the label removed by privacy policy >

  In trying to dual boot my system with Ubuntu, I accidentally erased Windows 7 during the partition. I bought my system used in a store and now I need a way to get Windows 7. I don't want to pay too much for the support. I talked to a Dell technician and they said for security systems that they charged $120 for each case. I don't know how true it is or if there are exceptions. I'm not quite willing to pay $120 for support, because I paid only about US $300 for the system. If I were asked to pay US $120 for it, I might as well buy a new one right? It is not that I am not willing to pay for support, but if the charge is a significant percentage of the value of the system, I am not prepared to pay for it.

  Any help you can give me in this regard will be highly appreciated.

  Thank you

  You can try Windows 10 TH2 by yourself... If you like it then you don't need to pay Windows 7 media and/or to obtain from an unofficial source.

  There are always positive and negative comments on versions of Windows. Windows ME, Vista and 8 in particular had the worst critics... In my opinion Windows 10 is a good successor to Windows 7 (Windows 8 was not).

  If you don't like it then you can get the DVD on eBay. The restorediscs is probably just copied a DVD to reinstall Dell Windows 7 send. There are debates or no eBay or these sources media buy is authentic or not. The license is tied to the Windows 7 COA affixed to your computer, so from a technical point of view it does not matter where you get the installation media.

• dual boot partition management

  I have a dual boot HDD, WinXP on the first partition and Win7 on the second partition and I want to get rid of XP and keep Win7.   I can delete the XP partition and expand Win7, but the result is unable to find ntldr error at startup.  All my user files are safe on a separate partition.  I don't want to have to reinstall Win7 and all other programs because it takes too long and besides, I really like Win7 install, I now and want to keep it as is, but without dual-boot.  I reinstalled the disk image, so now I can keep trying until I understand it.  So after I have delete the XP partition and expand the Win7 partition how do I Win7 to start?  Is there a file in the Win7 partition which causes the bios to look for XP? Can I find such a file and remove it for Win7 will start?

• Satellite U940 PSU6VA - Dual boot with Ubuntu based distributions

  _ * My specifications: * _
  * Model: * Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite PSU6VA - 00S 002 U940)
  * Operating system: * Windows 8.1 x 64 (upgrade of Windows 8 x 64)

  I would like to set up my computer to dual boot with Windows 8.1 (x 64) and Zorin OS 9.1 (64-bit).

  ZORIN OS is a derivative of Ubuntu which maintains a binary compatibility with Ubuntu i.e. Ubuntu and Zorin use the same drivers and can run the same applications. John Damascene is more or less just Ubuntu with a different desktop environment and some additional preinstalled applications.

  So far, I know that I need to disable the QuickStart Windows 8.1. What I have to do something else (for example disable Secure Boot, CSM, etc.)?

  In addition, my Ultrabook comes with 2 hard drives: 500 GB HARD drive and a 30 GB SSD. Windows uses the HARD disk for storage and for implementing SSD caching, through technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Is it possible to set up John of Damascus to do so (preferably without disabling caching on Windows)?

  NOTE: I prefer to do things using graphical interfaces, rather than the CLI. I don't mind given CLI instructions; also just showed me the GUI equivalents if possible. I use the CLI if there is no alternative.

  Hello

  See my responses / comments among your questions (I took part of your message and inserted here):

  So far, I know that I need to disable the QuickStart Windows 8.1. What I have to do something else (for example disable Secure Boot, CSM, etc.)?

  Answer: If you want to dual-boot, do NOT select WSC as preventing Windows to start.
  You shouldn't have to disable startup secure either, but I can't promise that. I think that Ubuntu 14 has support for secure boot.

  In addition, my Ultrabook comes with 2 hard drives: 500 GB HARD drive and a 30 GB SSD. Windows uses the HARD disk for storage and for implementing SSD caching, through technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Is it possible to set up John of Damascus to do so (preferably without disabling caching on Windows)?

  Answer: No, I don't think that there is a way to use the SSD in Zorin without making it unusable for Windows.
  Suggestion - let it be.

• Dual Boot Xp + Ubuntu

  Well, I have a custom computer and I already have XP SP3 on it. Well, I have another hard drive, from the old computer, which has always the SP3 of XP on it as well, and I was wondering if I could add Ubunto to older a completely get rid of the XP. But I have to do everything using only this one computer I'm on now.

  Put the second hard drive in the computer and then install Ubuntu on this subject. You will then use the bootloader (Grub) Ubuntu to choose which operating system to start.

• How to install Windows XP on a Windows Vista using Vista workstation to install XP in a separate mode dual-boot partition.

  If you have a Windows XP workstation it is a piece of cake to install Windows Vista on the same workstation using the dual-boot using a separate on the same hard disk partition...  However, the main centre recently received a large number of donations new jobs Lenovo ThinkCentre with factory installed and perfectly running Vista operating systems.  Question: Is there a procedure that would allow using Vista to install Windows XP on these workstations dual-boot mode?  Workstations must be used in a class of main center where we need to teach using either XP or Vista depending on student needs.   A second hard drive would allow such a facility.  But we would like to use a 2nd partition on the existing hard disk of Vista to install XP.  However, Microsoft has always included features in its Windows operating systems that overcome by using the current operating system to install an older version of the OS.  There must be a work around there somewhere.  Thanks for your help.

  If you have any available records of vista, you could make a partition in disk management (right click computer, manage, enable the UAC and then go into disk management.)  Shrink the partition and format it with NTFS free space.)  Then boot from the XP disc and install it.  Once you have completed the installation of xp. Start the vista disc and go to the repair options.  Go to a command prompt and type "bootrec.exe /fixboot" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.  After restart, you should see a start with windows vista and xp listed menu.  If xp is not in the list, let me know and I can tell you how to add it.

• Satellite A215-S5837: want to dual boot XP/Ubuntu

  Hey all just got my new laptop and before to buy it I knew that I wanted to install Linux on it. However I do * not * like Vista, so I would also like to install XP instead, as a failsafe in case something goes wrong with my Linux partition (I'm fairly new), I'll be able to go back to XP and still working on it.

  I went to the Toshiba site, but they have for most of the drivers for Vista and only a few for XP. Anyone know where I can find the drivers I need for XP? I hope that Ubuntu will be able to find the drivers on its own, but I know that XP does not give you slack.

  Hello

  Satellite A215-S5837 is a Toshiba US series and compatible drivers on the page of the American pilot.
  I visited and found a few XP drivers but as you have already said the list is not complete.

  I m not 100% sure, but some European Satellite/Satellite A210 series laptops were equipped with the same internal features.
  I have your case, I'll try to install unique drivers designed for the A210 series.
  Maybe the latter won't work.

  Regarding the Linux drivers. Well, if I m wrong not the Linux is not officially supported and therefore the driver Toshiba page does not provide Linux drivers
  This is why you must pick up yourself.

  Good luck

• I want to dual boot with linux, but already have 4 primary partitions

  I want to dual boot Linux (Ubuntu) along with Win 7 64 bit. The problem is that I already have 4 primary scores on the HARD drive, so I have to delete/clean one of them. HP_TOOLS can be moved to a partition existing (C for example), all while keeping features?

• No sound in Windows 7 after installing dual boot Ubuntu (Sound Blaster Audigy)

  I recently put my Windows 7 system to dual-boot with Ubuntu 9.10.

  Now, Ubuntu will play audio through my Sound Blaster Audigy, but Windows 7 will not. I reinstalled all the drivers and installed correctly. I went through the troubleshooting Control Panel section; She didn't find any problem, but there is still no sound. When I play music, volume control shows that the audio is playing.

  I can only assume that there is a problem with the installation of Ubuntu, that seems odd, since BONES are on separate partitions on my hard drive. Like I said, Ubuntu played outside the Audigy with no problems.

  Meanwhile I use my onboard sound for Win7, but I'd love to get my audigy...

  Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

  Nope checked all the possible power for audio setting in windows 7.  The only solution I found was disabling Audigy, plug in my onboard sound, allowing it and restart the computer.  On restart I could activate audigy, plug on it and activate the audigy player.  It was my only solution, but this is not going to work whenever I want to use ubuntu. No solution practice.

• dual boot Windows 7 (remove the unauthorized partion of previous edition)

  Hi support them.

  I have a hard drive from my old laptop and used in my new laptop. My old laptop used win xp. And my new laptop uses Windows 7 Home premium. My new laptop was the installation in a way that I have a dual boot partition 2, one for the home premium (c :) and one for the old xp (g :).)

  Recently my c: is running out of space and I wanted to remove the xp (g) partition to get more space out of it, but the volume button of remove is grayed.

  If I m wrong, if I delete the (g), my computer will start with a missing ntldr error.

• FOUR installed at the factory DEFAULT to leave prevents the DUAL BOOT LINUX

  HP laptop: dv7-4173us

  HP_TOOLS (F): 99 MB primary FAT32 Partition

  I came across this link:

  I want to install linux in dual boot, but the link above from Microsoft, said a MAXIMUM of

  4 PRIMARY partitions is allowed.

  Currently I already have FOUR primary partitions on my laptop HP as factory default PARTITION!

  What is the SYSTEM partition?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-are-system-boot-partitions#1TC=Windows-7

  Excerpts:

  “.... The system partition contains the hardware and the startup folder indicating a computer where to look to start Windows. By default, Windows 7 creates a separate system partition when it is installed from scratch (as opposed to upgrading from a previous version of Windows) on an unpartitioned hard disk. This partition is 100 MB in size. “

  Looks like I need to remove one of the main partition above.

  And it also looks like my choices are:

  HP_TOOLS (F): 99 MB primary FAT32 Partition

  Recovery (D primary NTFS Partition 21,28 GB)

  What are the consequences of the removal of one of the scores of HP.

  I suspect the HP_TOOLS above (F and recovery (D are dependent on each other.))

  I understand, it's likely that I lose the ability to recover and have to reinstall windows directly from CD/DVD.

  But I have TO install Linux in DUAL BOOT.

  What choices do I have?

  Please advice.

  Thank you.

  Windows 7 (loader on dev/sda2)

  First boot of Win 7.

  When I select the 2nd choice (last), I got error "Info: the boot selection has no b ' cos a required device is not accessible."

  Which partition is dev/sda2 corresponds to?

  How will I know?

  I also tried to delete the partition HP_TOOLS after successful install Ubuntu and dual boot,

  but WIn 7 has said it is currently in use, and force the deletion can cause problem.

  What should I do?

  Thanks for all the help.

  Linux uses a different label than Windows. Windows using C, D, E... drive, but linux uses sda1, sda2, sda3 (sda means the disc and 1,2,3, partition) labels for partitions. The sda2 partition is probably the 100 MB system. Linux also uses different file systems incompatible with NTFS/FAT32 for Windows file systems. The most common are EXT2/3/4 and also swap which is something like a pagefile (pagefile.sys) on Windows. You can delete the partition HP_TOOLS of linux, but if everything works and you do not need more partitions don't do that. There are stored diagnostic utilities. However, you can create a USB key with the same properties as HP_TOOLS partition:

• (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?
