Tecra A11 (PTSE1A - 00L 005) - Dual boot with XP and Windows 7

Hello

Just bought a new Tecra A11 computer laptop running WIN7 Pro. Then downloaded and installΘ_ * virtual XP Pro * _ but not happy with the results that a lot of things he can do my other dual boot 17 "computer laptop with Vista/XP Pro will do.

Background
There are 3 partitions on the HARD disk
1. active primary recovery 1.46 GB (without drive letter)
2. principal asset C: start 287 Gb
3 primary Partition 9.2 GB (no drive letter, the unknown application)

Can I partition the C: drive in sectors 2 X 145 GB and make the new partition _ * assets * _NTFS?

When I tried to install Xp Pro on another machine current Win7 partitioned as shown above, it 'blue preset' at the point of loading Xp using the RAID SATA CH8M-E charge via my USB FDD controller. Is it because this SATA driver is not current?

What is the correct SATA driver?

Does anyone know for sure that this machine will operate in dual boot Win7/Xp Pro?

Any help much appreciated

Peter

Yes, you can dual-boot two versions of Windows.

What you do is:

Create recovery discs just in case something happens.
Retractable C: drive at half the size.
Create a new partition NTFS for XP.
Download the driver for the controller SATA F6 www.intel.com
Copy the SATA drivers on a floppy disk
Boot from your XP (must have SP2 or SP3 slipstreamed) disc, press F6 when you are prompted to use the SATA driver on the floppy drive (to avoid the BSOD 0x0000007B)
Configure the installation of XP to install on the partition that you created.

When you restart, XP may have taken over and ignore Win7.
In this case, you can restore the Win7 boot loader using EasyBCD (google is your friend)

If the BIOS has an option of SATA controller Mode, simply activate the IDE Mode instead of the SATA driver.

    Last week I had a Satellite C85O - PSCBWE-03200WGR 19(d)

    I do not have a start to boot from USB, or iso CD (same choices as for the Toshiba application), and I did one on the bios:
    -Disable secure boot
    -Change UEFI CSM support
    -Save

    Hello

    The unit has been pre-installed with Win 8 64 bit right?

    Change BIOS setting of UEFI to CSM and disabling secure boot prevent Notepad to start 8 to win!

    That's why the device cannot find the boot device and passes to the last option: LAN.
    But given that the laptop can not find bootable system via LAN, the error PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable appears.

    If you want to use a dual boot, you will need to boot into Win 8
    Win 8 you must create a partition for installing Linux. This can be down in Win 8 disk management. It must reduce a last partition and have to create new free space available.

    Now to start installing Linux you need support... you can burn the iso on DVD or a USB bootable Linux. There are a lot of details on the internet how to create these media.
    Once you have created the bootable USB key, restart your PC with USB connected.
    Press F12 for the boot menu. Now you should see the key USB (if it is bootable!) choose USB and you should be able to install Linux (Ubuntu is great!)

    Method 1:
    Try to disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.


    Method 2:
    I also suggest that you do the startup repair using the Windows Vista installation disc and check if it works.
    If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.
    a. Insert the installation disc.
    b. restart your computer.
    Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.
    c. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
    d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    e. click on repair your computer.
    f. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair
    Check out the link:

    Hello

    You can't do what you want to do

    32-bit to 64-bit is NOT a upgrade path if you have always wanted to upgrade 32 bit vista

    It must be done with a clean install with a final certificate

    and you need a full license of windows 7 to install windows 7 on the 2nd hard drive

    You can dual boot vista 32-bit and 64-bit windows 7, if the manufacturer of your computer provides windows 7 drivers

  • Dual-boot for DOS and Windows 7.

    I use W7 Home Edition. 2G Ram. 500G hard drive. (tons of room left)

    I just correctly partitioned the hard drive and formatted the small partition in FAT32 so I can use BACK 6.21 as operating system.

    I'm trying to re - create the implementation that I had when I was on XP. Otherwise said, when the machine is booting, a screen appears that gave me the choice of either running in Windows XP or in the BACK. So far i cant even install BACK the machine to the three diskettes BACK 6.21 lights. The BIOS indicates the 3 1/2 "floppy drive is enabled.  The boot sequence has been defined for the floppy drive be the first start and the (No. 1, startup disk) disk is in the drive. Windows 7 boots up just as usual and totally ignores the BACK installation disc. Anyone know what I am doing wrong or that approach I should take. ?

    p.s. I have a spare hard drive I use exclusively for BACK if only I could get BACK installed on it and knew what to do at the BIOS level.

    Sometimes simple solutions are the best :) glad to know what you need to do this.

    Don't forget that starts change according to what operating system drive letters, you can even add a disc of Windows 8 and start to learn that. One of the main things to do is label the disks according to their function as this does not change even when the letters do.

    Please indicate the best answer than the answer.

    However, I heard from people having problems with the settings of the BIOS on other brands when said is finished.

  • Can I dual boot Win7 32 and Win7 64-bit by using the same product key?

    Hello

    My desktop PC is dual boot with XP and Win 7 Pro 32-bit. Both are retail box versions.

    I would replace the partition with Win 7 Pro 64-bit XP. (That I still keep installing Win 7 32 bit legacy hardware that does not work under a compatibility mode).

    Can I install and activate the new 64-bit partition by using the same product key, or is that 32-bit installation fail/break?

    Thanks for any advice.

    No, the key that can be used with 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 is exclusively for use with the disc 1. You cannot use install both. 1 license, 1 installation, so choose wisely.

    Where can I still get Windows 7?

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    Full version (retail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM System Builder version:

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

Win7 is the latest OS, this software is compatible with before an upgrade of expensive software can't be compatible with Win8 or higher (we're talking $1000-2000 range).

Something happens where ports USB closing killing all connections to the mouse and keyboard. I have tried many changes in the bios settings and a retry of the WIN7 Installer (from an installation disc) but no dice.

    Is there a certain combination of settings that must be disabled in the bios to get the win7 Installer right or I'm screwed?

    Thanks for any help

    What an adventure!

    As you discovered, you must completely format the drive as one or the other (GPT or MBR).  You cannot format a GPT partition and the other in the MBR.

    I wonder if you had back and disabled the legacy mode, if W7 would let you install on the GPT - or partition if the disabling legacy mode would also have permitted secure boot.

    In any case, it's water under the bridge.

  • 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.

  • How to create a dual boot with Vista installed on my Satellite U400?

    I just bought a U400 - 17 H with vista installed on the HARD drive. I would like to create a dual boot with XP Pro.

    I want to cut the partition vista in two 2 pieces to install XP Pro.
    At the end I'll have 3 partitions 1 vista (65 MB), 1 xp (65 MB) and 1 data (125 MB).

    Is it easily to create a new partition ok (I guess only on vista)
    but is there a program dedicated to install another OS and create a dual boot.

    Please help me because I like many things the other way around. I'm sure it's possible, but what are the right process to have at the end of two BONES and the choice at the start of the laptop

    Thank you

    Hello!

    Create a new partition for Windows XP and install it. There is no problem.

    After that, you need to restore the Windows Vista boot loader. You can do this with EasyBCD. Install and start the program.
    Go to the tab "Add/Remove entries". You will see that there is only one option available in the bootloader of Vista at the moment. In the "Add an entry" section, replace the drive in the menu drop-down of C:\ E:\. Change Type "Windows NT / 2 k/XP / 2 k 3" and the name of "Microsoft Windows XP". Then click on 'Add an entry' and 'save '.
    Then go to the "Manage Bootloader" tab make sure "Reinstall the Vista Bootloader" is selected, then click on "write the MBR.

    Now you can restart the laptop and you should have a full system dual boot to work.

    Good bye

  • Can I do a dual boot with Windows 7?

    After taking all the precautions I can think to install Windows 7 on my wifes laptop. Drive recovery system, backups (2 DVDs) and an image I did more than 6 DVD.

    I thought why not only reduce the Vista Partition, install Windows 7 in the created partition and run Windows 7 to see if it will work on the laptop (gives me time to straighten out things so that my wife can always use). Then remove the Vista Partition. If the laptop was mine would just reformat the dang thing and deal with what it goes down from there.

    Then there is the Question of what to do about the EISA (recovery Partition)?

    Hello!

    Of course, you can install Windows 7 and do a system to dual-boot with Windows Vista... Why not? ;)

    As you have already said if Windows 7 works well on your laptop (I put t know which model you have exactly) you can remove Vista and use the old partition to store data or to include a new in the Windows 7 partition.

    The hidden partition do you mean isn't the Toshiba recovery partition! It is a feature of Windows.
    You can remove this partition you don t he most needs.

    In addition, with the Toshiba Recovery disk, you are on the safe side. If you don't want Windows 7 you can go to Vista (factory settings). :)

    Good bye
