• 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.

• Dual Boot windows Linux 8.1 on Pavilion 17-e157eo

  Will there be a completely safe way for a dual-boot Windows 8.1 and Linux on a Pavilion 17-e157eo?

  I searched the dualboot topics, but solutions do not seem to apply in this case.  Secure boot has been disabled. Quick start has been disabled. In this PC disk partitions are not dynamic but simple.

  Starting from a Live Linux DVD results in a blank screen even if the DVD player is clearly read something.  Is the problem due to the fact that this PC has the INTEL 4600 graphics chip and an AMD Radeon 8670 M?

  A better solution would be to use VMware or VirtualBox, set up a Linux guest operating system, the host system is of course Windows 8.1?

  No problem, glad I could help. If you could mark one of my posts with an acceptable Solution and congratulations if this information was useful, it would be much appreciated and it would be useful to other institutions. Thank you and have a great day!

• Dual Boot Windows?

  I have a dual boot Windows 7 and Windows 8. I was wondering if I could increase the size of the space of hard disk for Windows 8?

  There are 333 GB of space available for Windows 7 and 20.8 GB available for Windows 8.
  I would like to know if its possible to increase space for Windows 8?

  You must use a third-party tool such as Easeus Partition Master Home Edition - http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-Manager-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html

  This will allow you to resize the boot partition by dragging the button to allocate the extra space for Windows 7 or Windows 8.

  Attention, create a recovery for Windows 7 and Windows 8 disk before doing this:

• 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. ;)

• CMT Compaq dc7100 Dual Boot, Windows 7 Pro and XP Pro

  Tile: CMT Compaq dc7100 Dual Boot, Windows 7 Pro and XP Pro

  Hello everyone.  My computer is adjustable having the dual boot with Windows 7 Pro on disk 0 (320 GB SATA Seagate Barracuda 7200.11) and XP Pro disk 1 (40 GB SATA Samsung SP0411C). As the two systems are available at the start but most all the time Windows 7 Pro would use. The computer is Compaq 7100, WCL PP255US, 3.2 GHZ Intel Pentium 4, 3 GB of ram, Council ch h 0968, bios HP 78 1 v01.05 16/06/2004, chip Intel 915 G Express.  According to the website of Seagate Barracuda 320 GB with (quote), ' he not there no master/slave because every player relationship is considered to be a master in a relationship from point to point.» If two drives are connected to a Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system considers that the two devices as if they were the two "masters" on two ports separated. Both drives behave as if they were device 0 (master) devices.  On the drive Samsung (SP0411C) I put a jumper for master, it is connected to the motherboard instead of disk 1. Used rider illustrated for Samsung SP0411N since I did not see the SP0411C listed. When selecting information for Samsung Seagate site sometimes showed data for their readers. This is perhaps due to the recent acquisition of Samsung or maybe my mistake.  Tried swapping around wiring of each drive but that didn't work of course. Looked at the settings in the BIOS but did not see a way to create the dual boot.  Please let me know if you need more information. If you know how this can be done or have some suggestions, please let me hear it. As always, thank you very much for your comments.

  Hello oscarmint, I checked the specifications of your system and it does not show the system supports two types of hard drives.

  The system supports only Serial ATA (Sata) synchronous Maximum 150 MB/s transfer rate

  You would need to make the jumper on the Seagate 320 GB Sata Drive pin, set at 150 MB/s.

  You are right that the Seagate would not Cable Select or slave settings and it would be the master and only on cable.

  If the 40 GB hard drive is a type of ATA (IDE), you'd better put as selection of cables (CS).

• Removal of partition of Windows 7 from Dual Boot Windows 7/8

  I recently installed Windows 8 on PC from a parent, because it's the upgrade $ 14.99, uncertain about whether my parents would be as W8, I decided to double it start alongside W7.  However, my parent loved W8 and he now uses as its main operating system.  My problem is, how safely get rid of the partition of Windows 7? Try to remove it cause the laptop to be unable to boot because it seems that the boot files are still on the W7 partition.  Is there a way to make the W8 the 'boot' partition, perhaps by creating / copying the boot somehow files?

  Solved, here is how I fixed it in case someone else runs into a similar issue:

  1 installed and run EasyBCD on Windows 8

  2 open the BCD Backup/repair and C: set as default boot drive

  3 used Minitool Partition to delete the partition in which Windows 7 has been installed and extend Win 8 partition on unallocated space

  4 restarted, Dual Boot screen appeared, though there is only a single OS installed, so re-opened EasyBCD on Windows 8 and remove the entry from Windows 7 in Dual Boot menu

  Note that this is a VERY good idea to keep a Windows 8 installation disc/USB on hand at any time during this procedure, in case something goes wrong.

• 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.

  It seems that my installation of windows 7 has derailed (g) unnoticed.

  Any help here?

• How can I create new partition for dual boot (Windows 7/Ubuntu)?

  My Z580 came with 4 primary partitions: the Windows boot partition; Windows OS & data (C drive); a "Lenovo" partition which seems to have the drivers and software pre-installed (drive D). and an OEM partition that is used for key recovery.

  I want to create a dual boot system, as if I had on my old laptop, so I guess I need to delete one of the existing partitions and create an extended partition. The best candidate seems to be the 'Lenovo' partition with the drivers and applications. Can I backup the data on this partition and transfer it to the C drive... or put it on a new logical partition?

  Alternatively, it would be preferable to save the OEM DVD recovery partition, and then delete and create a new extended partition? I guess that means abandon OKR, but I'd still be able to recover Windows of DVDs (?).

  I would appreciate anyone's help. I am far from being an expert or computer whizz, so if you can help, please keep it simple!

  In fact, you can get if you only change the size of the D: drive. I guess that your D: drive occupies about 25 GB. You can delete this partition and shrink the C: drive as 100 GB (or any size you like) and you can create a new D: drive. This way you can use OneKey Recovery and install the second OS on a larger partition and yet once again, I suggest you create Factory Default disc before you do all this

• 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.

• Remove dual-boot partition Ubuntu

  I recently installed Ubuntu 14.10 utopian Unicorn on my Y510p hoping to squeeze a little more FPS out of cs (VALVe announced that their games run better on OpenGL than DirectX11). However, I quickly realized that it's a HUGE pain to get support SLI on Linux, and I'd only stick with Windows. Is it possible to get rid of the Ubuntu partition without removing the bootloader Windows 8.1? I heard that if you just delete the Linux partitions you can not start up again. Oh and the reason why I want to remove it is I have a limited due to an SSD space, so I prefer not to be watsting from 37 to Ubuntu and the 15 GB for swap. Thanks for your help

  In the end (much later, of course) I opted to completely remove all of my partitions, convert my MBR disk and install Windows 7. My life is much better now. As a great man once said - "Windows 8? Welcome to hell. »
