• Windows Vista Ultimate: SP1 CD can not install for me to Dual-Boot 7 and Vista

  Hi I'm new here.

  I have Windows 7 Ultimate on my computer. I have 3 drives, F: reserved system, C: (where Windows 7 is on) and blank D: 20 GB Partition.

  I am trying to install Windows Vista, so I can dual-boot, but I get an error code saying that there is not enough disk space on my F: reserved system, but I try not to install it since their, I try to install from the D: drive.

  So I tried another way, I Booted from the CD, and Setup continues. But, when I clicked on my D: drive it says it cannot copy files when going from 3%.

  Question:

  1. I did a wiped fresh clean installed Windows 7 Ultimate, and it created a partition of 100 MB. What's causing Windows Vista to install correctly?

  2. If Question 1 was the problem, do you think I should wipe my entire C: drive and erase the entire disk for Windows Vista to fix itself?

  Thank you

• How to remove vista so only 7 is running

  my child has just installed win 7 but has not removed from Windows vista, how to remove vista so only 7 is running?

  Original title: my child has just installed win 7 but has not removed from Windows vista, how to remove vista so only 7 is running?

  Hi Tarf,

  ·        Are the two copies of Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed on the partition, or on a different partition?

  ·        At the start of Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you receive two Windows startup options?

  ·        Are you able to boot to Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed on the computer?

  You can check the following information on your computer and post back the result to help us analyze the problem and remove a copy of Windows Vista.

  Start Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed on the computer and access the computer and check the partitions in Windows to make a note where Windows 7 and Windows Vista are installed and after return of information.

  If you are able to make a note of the partition on which Windows Vista is installed, and if you are confident about it, you can start on Windows 7 and check on which Windows Vista is installed; make a backup of data in Windows Vista and later you can remove folders of Windows files, users and the program or format the partition.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

  Thank you and best regards,

  An in Windows 7 Startup Repair can solve the problem - give it a try.

  Try to use BCDEdit: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2676-bcdedit-how-use.html. You can modify the startup files to create a situation of dual boot (make sure that you use the existing boot files - be they on the Vista partition or partition Windows7).

  You can also use bootrec.exe to perform essentially the same thing: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/163304-dual-boot-using-free-partitioning-software.html.

  Can I set up a dual boot so that I can boot to Vista or XP? If so, how?

  I would also like a third boot, Red Hat Linux 9.
  Any comments?

  Hmmm. Usually it s possible to use two or more operating systems on the computer, but as far as I know the Toshiba Vista recovery CD formats whole disk when installing Vista and this will lead to the loss of the OS installed.
  I m not 100% sure on the recovery of the newest XP CD called RECON doesn t CD include an expert mode which allows to choose between the different partitions.

  So I guess that each use the recovery CD will format the HARD drive and erase the installed data. But of course, you can try to install the two BONES and to check if the restore XP CD allows to choose the second part of the installation of the OS.

  If it does not, it seems that you will need to an original XP from Microsoft CD or the original CD of Vista to use the two BONES.

• Dual-boot a pre-installed copy of Vista.

  I'll be getting an additional SATA drive available in a few months. I plan to install it in a gateway 4200DX which comes preinstalled with Vista 64-bit home premium.  I have a dual boot with XP and Vista. The player in question is only 80 GB, so I would use for operating systems so that in case of accident, that one is most likely to go. If possible. If this isn't the case, I would just install XP on it.

  The problem is that my system did not come with an installation for Vista CD, only a "recovery partition". Worse still, at the time where I learned to make a dual boot, I learned that I had to install the oldest operating system first. Granted, XP was brand new at the time and I was installing double boots from 98/2000 or 98/XP for friends & family, so I am not sure if it still applies to Vista.

  How could I go do a system dual-boot? I have to forget about using the new 80 GB for the OS drive and just find a way to shrink the partition from my current drive? Can I still do it without a Vista CD? I have a XP CD, although I don't think that there all service packs. I've got those engraved on 2 separate CD. I just mention that the CD is one of the oldest because I recently tried to use it to install the console recovery on someone computer facility and I had problems. I don't think it should affect what anyone because the installation of these service packs is part of what I consider to be the installation process. I just use the CD instead of letting the autocratic updates to do to save time and bandwidth.

  Usually, the recovery partition are accessible in some way to burn the recovery disks, how is specific to your PC manufacturer.

  Before installing Windows XP, make sure that this gateway provides Windows XP drivers for your system, if they do not, let winxp well alone

• Dual boot XP/Vista laptop. Network works under XP; not in Vista

  I installed Vista business on a XP Dell Latitude E5500 as a dual-boot configuration. Everything works just like in XP. But, when I boot with Vista, cannot access any network. It is not one of wifi connections. Watch 'drivers not installed for this device' (Vista) Device Manager for all network devices such as wireless and Ethernet card. If I find drivers for vista for these devices and install them, it won't solve the problem? Will this affect my XP somehow?

  Thank you

  You need the Vista drivers.
  The operating system XP and Vista are two separate operating systems in a dual boot.

  http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx

  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > find the latest Vista drivers for it, if they are available > download/install the.

  You will probably need to use XP to download/save the as you will not have a link with Vista > download / save drivers > transfer / install it in Vista.

• Help remove vista and options to dual boot with Windows 7

  I think that I have selected the bits from the right here, but please let me know if not.  I recently installed windows 7 and I love it so much I want to remove vista.

  I can't find any instructions on how to make sure (after formatting the drive with Vista on it - it's on a drive of 500 GB physically separated for Win 7) that I can remove the dual boot option, I currently have.  I also read if I do badly I can leave windows 7 unusable.

  Win 7 is a full do not install an upgrade, just like vista.

  Any help on the Microsoft site means how to repair xp, vista or windows 7, so to delete this post.

  Any help or direction is appreciated, I have a few days to make what I just place my order for a 2 TB HDD, so won't try until it happens.

  Hello

  "Just to check and then (which seems easier to me), if I transfer my data from the vista disc (assuming that it is the system disk) then delete and restart with the win7 dvd, a repair will then sign the Windows 7 disk as the system disk and remove any dual boot option?

  Yes, it should work. As the Win7 disk does not currently startup files, made only with this disc a repair will create the most necessary.

  "Out of curiosity if I format the Vista disc, and then restart your computer with the win7 dvd, this will give the same effect as having Remode the floppy disk in the first place?

  No, except if you use Disk Manager to designate the Win7 drive than active first. If you simply format the Vista disk and then run a repair, startup files will be rewritten on the disk of Vista.

• How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup?

  How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup on Windows XP folder?

  Hello

  The first step is to identify the program that represents the icon and decide whether it should be in the system tray (most are not necessary). Hold the cursor of the mouse on the icon to see the name of the program that launches the icon.

  The best bet is to click the icon to see if this opens the box of the program options. If so, look for a selection similar to "remove from the system tray.

  Alternatively, you can hide the icons in the system tray.

  Here's how:

  1. right click on the taskbar and select "Properties".

  2. in the "Notification area" click "Hide inactive icons" if she already unchecked and then click on the button "Customize".

  3. click on the ' column next to each of your current behavior and choose one of the three behaviors for each program icon that appears in the system tray: "Hide when it is idle," "Always hide", or "always show".»

  If you hide an icon, but then see it again the next time that you log on to Windows, you may need to uninstall the program to permanently remove the icon. Uninstall the program permanently removes the program from your computer. For more information, see Uninstall or change a program.

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

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

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

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

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

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