Return to the dual-boot

I recently install windows xp again in a dual boot (xp in c drive & win 7 in d). I lost access to win 7. After the start of win 7 cd and choose repair I got only win 7 and lost my dual boot. My system boots directly from win 7.

  • Im just not getting the dual boot I want

    I have a dell that I installed a 2nd HD in 1720.

    I need to be able to boot either Vista or XP without that dreaded OS drive letter change.

  • Questions on the Dual-Boot Linux/Win8 on Inspiron 15R

    I recently got a new computer Dell laptop, Inspiron 15R, and I want to dual-boot with Windows 8 and Linux. I'm not familiar with Windows. I use Debian based Linux flavors, but I've only used the 32-bit versions on PC with BIOS (not UEFI). I never put in place a system dual boot, I usually just run Linux and one at a time unless I am running from a USB key. The laptop is running Win 8, basically, as he came. I have not updated to 8.1 Win. I have not moved all the files on the laptop yet.

    Issues related to the:

    1. If I use "Dell Backup and Recovery", the reinstallation disks will allow me to do a completely clean install of win 8?

    2. relocation records re-create the configuration factory of partitioning and include backup partition?

    3. can I move the backup partition that is pre-installed in other media (I have 4 partitions for dual boot-Win8 need, root, / Home, swap)?

    4. can I leave the backup partition, have my 3 partitions for Linux, no Win partition and reinstall Windows from backup partition should I have to?

    5. can I choose what software is installed when I create/use the backup disks?

    6. can I add software that I installed when I create the backup disks?

    17. given that the laptop is equipped with Internet Explorer, can I copy this program and run it in wine? (It's really the software only Windows only, that I need, to test software)

    I'm sorry that there are so many questions, I always try to understand all my options before doing anything permanent. Thanks in advance for any help :)

    1. If I use "Dell Backup and Recovery", the reinstallation disks will allow me to do a completely clean install of win 8?

    No it won't be a "clean" installation This will be a facility of factory settings. i.e. Windows pre-installed drivers and preinstalled software such as McAfee. Make sure that you install Dell Backup and Recovery version 1.7.1.2 before using it. See here for more details:

    You need a DVD of resettlement to clean install, call Support Dell technique for her.

    2. relocation records re-create the configuration factory of partitioning and include backup partition?

    USB recovery will recreate the system partition.

    3. can I move the backup partition that is pre-installed in other media (I have 4 partitions for dual boot-Win8 need, root, / Home, swap)?

    You will have problems this, unless you can get several disks in your system and have a Linux hard drive and a hard disk of Windows separately.

    4. can I leave the backup partition, have my 3 partitions for Linux, no Win partition and reinstall Windows from backup partition should I have to?

    No it does not work like that, you will not be able to boot from the partition recovery making it useless. However, you can start Recovery USB.

    5. can I choose what software is installed when I create/use the backup disks?

    No, as mentioned previously this is not not a "clean" installation and drivers and software preloaded such as McAfee will be included.

    6. can I add software that I installed when I create the backup disks?

    Not unless you get a DVD to reinstall and then install all your software on 1 large Windows partition with nothing else on the disc, then use Dell backup and restore. Or you buy a premium version of Dell backup and restore.

    7. should I have the Windows product key to reinstall? If Yes, where is it? (no sticker on the bottom of the laptop)

    Integrated sound in BIOS here:

    8. can I use the product key or from backup disks to run Win 8 in a virtual machine under Linux?

    No, you cannot license is OEM and the virtual machine has a virtual BIOS which will be recognized as another computer. It will not work and you will have problems to activate product. Media created with DBaR does not work on a virtual Dell BIOS or not.

    9. can I run Windows on a Flash DRIVE (or SD) as I can with Linux?

    N °

    10. can I install Win 8 to an external hard drive?

    N °

    10. is it better to shrink the Windows partition and reinstall Windows on a partition?

    Its usually best to clean install. However, it is the DVD of resettlement.

    11. how small the Windows partition can be?

    It depends on how much you want to add. At least 20 GB however.

    12. Windows will be able to access the/home partition? If not, is there a way to set up a separate partition for/home on Windows, Linux can access? Or do the / Home partition readable for Windows?

    You can make a partition for Windows and Linux to share.

    13. do not set up the dual boot somehow cancel my warranty on the hardware of the laptop?

    No, the warranty is for the hardware and not software. Dell you normally would have to restore the system to factory settings if help you hollow troubleshooting Windows so only. They will still carry the material well.

    14. If I end up doing a boot of Linux and using Wine for Windows software, which will void my warranty?

    N ° Ditto as above.

    15 is it my laptop to change any empty not compatible equipment (possibly wireless card) the warranty on the material of the opening?

    He should be ok, as long as you don't damage it. Usually, these interchangeable parts are readily available. Confer with the user manual at the parts remove.

    16. given that the laptop came with Win 8, is it possible to install older versions of Win on it instead of 8?

    Windows 7 64 bit can be installed, but you will need a new Windows license unless it came with Windows 8.0/8.1 Professional (in this case, you can use downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional). You may have trouble with older versions.

    17. given that the laptop is equipped with Internet Explorer, can I copy this program and run it in wine? (It's really the software only Windows only, that I need, to test software)

    I don't have much experience with wine, but it is not as simple as copying a .exe for IE11.

    Can I install windows 8 pro update on a system dual boot (XP, 7 ongoing) replacing of windows 7, but keep the dual boot ability so that I can run the XP apps that only seem to work on XP?

    Yes, you can use the installation of Windows 7 to qualify for the upgrade to Windows 8.

    You can then install Windows 8 on Windows 7 partition and dual boot with XP.

    For reference - if the computer had installed XP you could not dual boot with the help of an upgrade of Windows 8.

    In addition, to back up important data before installing a new operating system is recommended.

    After I installed Ubuntu, when I try to start Windows, the process stops and says that there is a mistake: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM. But I can't run Ubuntu without problem.

    Is there any special step before installing a Dual Boot with Ubuntu system?

  • Satellite L500/013 - how the dual boot of Windows 7 and XP?

    Hello

    I just bougth my first laptop from Toshiba, it comes with Windows 7 Professional pre-installed. Before you start to spend hours on it, I wonder if this can be done:

    (1) I would like to use the Windows 7 Professional 64-bit mode, then

    (2) create the second partition on the hard disk to install Windows XP 32 bit on it.

    I was wondering if this is possible and what is the recommended installation sequence. First thing I need to do is to create the recovery for Windows 7 disk, so I guess I have to configure Windows 7 first of all?

    Thanks for any help
    Thomas

    > The first thing I need to do is to create the recovery for Windows 7 disk, so I guess I have to configure Windows 7 first of all?
    Well, it is highly recommended! Before you do anything with your HARD drive, you must create the recovery disk!

    I m not very well how you can set up a dual boot with Win 7 because I didn't try this, but I did using Vista.
    First you must create a second partition in Vista. This could be done in disk management.
    Then I installed Win XP on the second partition. But after installing XP I could not launch Vista because Vista boot manager was damaged by Win XP.
    To resolve this problem, I used an original disc of Vista (not recovery disc). I started the Vista DVD and it has repaired the Vista Boot Manager. In Vista, I installed EasyBCD.
    EsayBCD is a small tool that allows to add Win XP to the Vista Boot Manager s.
    After the new Vista and Win XP reboot is appeared in the Boot Manager and I could choose between the two BONES.

    I think that you need the same procedure using Win 7

  • Satellite A100-451 Vista - can I add XP and set up the dual boot?

    My new A100-451 came with 2 related partitions on the HARD disk, marked C:\Vista
    (Vista Home Premium) and E:\Data. About 80 GB on each.
    I can't get my ProII Toucam webcam works with Vista and refuse to update the software.
    Some of my other software no longer work.

    Because the HARD disk is already partitioned, I would install XP on the second partition and set up a dual boot system.
    Is it possible, and how would I go about this?

    Thank you all,
    John.

    Hello

    Of course, you can install a XP on more partition.
    But I do not recommend to install the XP on the partition existing E:\ but to create a new partition on the HARD drive.
    It s very simple to create the partition under Vista OS. Go to disk management and shrink a partition E:
    Then the 3rd other partition can be created on the empty space.

    Then you could just run the install of XP and could install XP on a partition that is created again.

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

    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.

    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:

  • Laptop with XP/Ubuntu Dual Boot (grub 2, not to wubi). How to safely to Windows 7 without losing the dual boot ubuntu?

    Hello

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 6400/1505 (1.73 Gz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 750 GB (7200 RPM) HARD drive) with Windows XP and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed in dual boot. I installed Ubuntu in a separate partition, not not using WUBI. Since support for XP runs in the month of April, I have to upgrade to Windows 7. I would like to know if I could pass safely XP to Windows 7 (I understand the parameters and programs cannot be transferred to the upgraded version of Windows and must be done manually) without disturbing my score of Ubutnu and the GRUB that starts when I turn on the computer. What are my options if this is not possible. I know one option is to completely wipe the hard drive and start over. But I just wanted to know if I could save my Ubuntu installation.

    PS. forgive me if this has been discussed already, please redirect.

    Thank you

    Joseph.

    To begin with, as you already know, there is no way to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7, it will have to do a clean install.  When you install Windows 7 it will rewrite the MBR and dislodge the grub, you need to reinstall GRUB after Windows installation and you need to add the Windows installation for the grub.

  • 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.

  • After removing the Dual Boot, I can't delete the old partition

    Some time ago I installed an SSD and I have Windows 7 installed in Dual Boot with the Windows 7 system.
    So, I had two versions of Windows 7, which worked well.

    Now I no longer use the old system, I disabled the function of Dual Boot. I want to format the old drive, but it does not work because Windows still sees it as active system partition. In addition, I can't delete the partition.

    How can I format or delete the old partition?

    I already tried Msconfig, Bud that did not help. Default Msconfig begins with 'selective startup' and an operating system that is displayed in the Startup tab. When I select 'Normal Startup' there are two operating systems that are listed in the Startup tab. When I delete the old and reboot, it is back again...

    Who has the solution?

    (1) create a system repair disc (if you do not have an installation disk for Windows 7 for the version of Windows you have installed).
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-a-system-repair-disc

    (2) then remove the hard disk you want to format. Now try to start the remaining version of Windows. You should see a missing bootmgr message. Proceed to step #3.

    (3) Bootmgr is missing, message or black screen with cursor flashing
    (See method #2 in this Wiki article)

    (4) after you have created the BCD store on the remaining drive (to step #3 above), it should start up on Windows and also be the partition 'Active'.

    (5) shut down the PC and set the old drive, turn on a load Windows and then delete all the remaining partitions on the old disk.

  • create the dual boot with an external hard drive

    I want to create dual boot laptop (OS 2 in 1) in my laptop, but my internal hard drive reach maximum (3) logical partition for my windows operating system 7 is not allow me to create a new logical partition install win8 pro. I've planed to buy an external hard drive and connect with my laptop and install win8 in external hard drive and use win8 and 7. Is it possible? If possible how to create? Please give me instructions step by step.

    Hi Karthik,

    If your hard drive has enough free disk space, you can install a newer version of Windows on a separate partition and keep the earlier version of Windows on your computer. It's called a multiboot or dual-boot configuration. Every time that you start your computer, you can choose which version of Windows to run. You can also install Windows 8 on an external hard drive and use it to dual boot.

    You can see the Microsoft article below for more information about this.

    Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows/install-multiple-operating-system-multiboot#1TC=Windows-7

    I hope this helps.

    Please report if the problem persists and we will be happy to help you further.

  • How Windows determines the dual-boot?

    I want to understand the mechanisms of multiboot.  Feel free to point me to the Microsoft links that explain this.

    How does he know how much OS bootable Windows are present?  Windows queries each partition at startup to see if an OS resides?  Or is a pointer added on the MBR as each OS is installed so that Windows should simply verify the MBR?

    Let me complicate the qustion slightly.  Suppose that disks are involved, each with a BONE or two.  If Windows asks each partition at startup to see if an OS resides, then disks does not alter.  However, if Windows stores this information in the MBR, how it works for several discs, each with its own MBR?  Windows look each MBR it can find at startup?

    Another question.  If Windows adds a pointer for each operating system on the MBR, then what happens if a BONE is removed, for example, when a partition is deleted or a diskette containing a BONE or two is physically deleted?

    Initialization information is contained in the store BCD and not the MBR.  The BCD store can be found in two locations.

    (1) hidden 150 MB system reserved partition.

    (2) in the score where the first version of Windows that you have installed. The folder is named C:\Boot and a bootmgr file name

    Whenever you install a different version of Windows (XP, Vista, Windows 7 or 8), another entry is made in the BCD store.

    How to modify the BCD store: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731245%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

    An easier way to modify the BCD store is to install EasyBCD in the latest version of Windows you have installed.

  • Windows 8 and the dual boot XP

    I have Windows 8 is installed on my PC (Athlon, 2 GB of RAM) and want to install Windows XP too due to a need. If I install Windows xp, would windows 8 destroyed as in 7 that he did?
    Any help woud greatly appreciated.

    Forget the drivers and all that... just a simple question "would win 8 work or not after installing XP?

    Nope.

    What follows refers to Windows 7, but the same principles apply to Windows 8:

    The following instructions will show how dual boot Windows 7 and XP on your machine instead of replacing one with the other.

     

    It is important that you have a reinstall or repair disk in case you should reinstall or repair your installation of WIndows 8.

    The following article will show you how to create a repair disk (Windows 7, the same instructions for Windows 8 references):

    http://notebooks.com/2011/02/09/how-to-create-a-system-repair-disc-in-Windows-7/

     

     

    Drivers for Windows XP:

     

    You first need to know if your computer is compatible with Windows XP. Much more modern computers are gradually support for Windows XP.

     

    Create Partition

    Open a command run (press Windows + R key) on your keyboard. Then type diskmgmt.msc, and then press enter on your keyboard.

    Once the disk management is open, select the C:\ or where Windows 8 is installed.

    Right click and click on the retractable menu.

    Please wait while Windows 8 checks the available space on the disc.

    Enter the amount you want to assign.

    Click OK.

    The disk management window should display the unallocated disk space.

    --------------------------------------------

     

    Install Windows XP

    In order to install Windows XP on the partition you created, you will need to boot into your BIOS, then set it to IDE HDD mode.

    --------------------------------------------

    After you set the IDE HDD mode, you can continue to install Windows XP on the partition you created;

    Insert your Windows XP CD, and then restart your computer.

    When you are prompted to boot from the CD, do so. To do this, press any key on the keyboard.

    Windows XP will go into its configuration process.

    Once you arrive at the welcome configuration, press enter on your keyboard to start the installation process

    Press F8 on your keyboard to accept the license agreement

    Select partition

    Select Format the partition using the NTFS file system

    Press F on your keyboard to start the formatting.

    Installation files will now be copied to your hard drive

    Your system will be rebooted, the installation of Windows XP will continue

    ----------------------------------------------

     

    After Windows XP installs successfully, you will not be able to boot in Windows 8, here comes the recovery for Windows 8 disc.

    Boot from the DVD Windows 8

    (a) in the screen install now

    (b) click on repair your computer

    (c) click on Advanced Options

    (d) click on troubleshoot

    (e) click on startup repair

    (f) follow the instructions on the screen

    --------------------------------------------

    After you have repaired your installation Windows 8 and try to start it, you will notice that Windows 8 will not start.

    Boot into the BIOS again and choose the SATA hard drive mode. You will now be able to start Windows 8 again.

    -------------------------------------------

    After that, download EasyBCD and add a startup for Windows XP for Windows 8 boot manager entry;

    EasyBCD by NeoSmart Technologies would be your answer, it provides a graphical front-end to the BCDEdit Command line that makes it easy for you to set the boot settings and change the entries start on the new Windowsboot Manager. http://NeoSmart.NET/DL.php?id=1

    ------------------------------------------

    The next step is now make it possible for Windows 8 start in IDE mode.

    Welcome to all, so let me explain, I installed Windows 8 with AHCI set from the Bios, but after that I wanted to use ide (becose it starts faster) and when I put Ide from Bios, windows 7 loading screan camed upp and BSOD (blue screen of death) with a 0x0000005B error code, I tried the regedit setting thing in the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesMsahci' and then just pan the STARTING value 0 I have set it to 1 and it supposed to work, but it was a location, he always did the Bsod and I was so angry, I wanted to make it work... AND I DID IT!

    Here's the pases:
    (1) I assume that you have installed Windows Vista or Windows 8 with AHCI in the BIOS!
    Download 2) my registry fix (to add keys to the ide to regeditor) simply apply the key
    (3) now manually part regedit go to:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_Msahci
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_iaStor
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_iaStorV

    And thease three keys in the right pan, you will find a key named 'START' change all three (Msahci, iaStor, iaStorV) values from 0 to 1
    Now, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_PciIde
    , and then change the value of start on '0 '.

    (4) now that you're allmost done, restart your laptop computer and go to Bios and set between AHCI and IDE! Save the settings in the Bios and restart

    (5) Windows will be loading and VOILA! NO BSOD! , windows Vista / seven will install new Ide drivers and that you will see in the windows Device Manager you have more AHCI drivers, you have the Ide drivers!
    (6), he is invited to restart another, just restart and you will be happy
