• 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.

• Remove the Dual Boot Win 7 Options - after clean install SSD

  Hi people,

  I was wondering if you could help us?

  I bought a PC that came with an SSD (256 GB) and a (2 TB) HARD drive, but for some reason, the operating system was installed on the HARD drive!

  I finally sort myself and performed a clean installation of windows on the SSD drive and after some messing about with the pilots, he is now in place and works very well.

  However when turn on, I get two options of starting two Windows 7, one on the SSD and one original on the HARD drive (I can start if I wanted to right now).

  • How can I get rid of the old drive HARD install & boot options?
  • Is it too easy to delete the partitions in the Disk Manager & potentially adjust the MSConfig options?
  • This will also remove the files and erase the drive down or do I reformat or clean this player in some way as well?

  A couple of things that I was concerned compared...

  • Initially, I had some of my games Steam installed on the SSD, will it manually delete these or the windows install crushed the?
  • After the installation of Windows, a number of drivers were missing (including the network card). I used the Auto search function to find and use those of the old installation of OS. Delete/remove the old BONES will affect these?

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.

  Thank you

  Steve

  Yes, you can use msconfig to remove the HARD drive boot entry. Once this is done, you must manually remove the windows and program files (also Program Files (x 86), if you are using Windows x 64) files of the directory of the HARD drive.

  • Initially, I had some of my games Steam installed on the SSD, will it manually delete these or the windows install crushed the?
  If you have performed a clean Windows installation, with formatting, the files would have been deleted. If this isn't the case, you must manually remove the files.
  • After the installation of Windows, a number of drivers were missing (including the network card). I used the Auto search function to find and use those of the old installation of OS. Delete/remove the old BONES will affect these?
  No, it won't have an impact. Each installation of Windows is separated and none of them can affect the performance of others.

• Can I run dual boot Vista 32 and Windows 7 64? Can I use a upgrade disk to install the full version?

  original title: I have a simple question...

  I have Vista 32 bit.  I have two hard drives.  Vista 32 is on disk 0.  (C) I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.  I want to change the installation path on Windows 7 64 bit edition updated the software on my second drive, so I can run a system dual boot.  Windows 7 Setup will allow me to do?  I can use the version upgrade of the software for that, or do I have the full version?

  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

• Usable memory (RAM) less than the installed memory, showing remove Win7 dual-boot.

  Original title: "Memory (RAM): 12,00 GB (3.62 GB usable)", how can I resolve this issue and remove a dual boot Win7?

  I recently, after experincing problems (see below the Intel SSD), noticed the system said that there is only a 3.62 GB of Ram available in my computer.  I have this statement ' Installed Memory (RAM): 12,00 GB (3.62 GB usable) "the computer has always used a higher around 10-11 GB amount.

  I noticed that the Windows performance index was 5.6, after adding an Intell 240 GB SSD, it jumped to 7.6; However, now with the problems is 5.4, caused by the RAM.

  I ran the full memory diagnostics: start-up and verification of memory it says I have 12 GB of RAM can be used across both.  I asked with Asrock if my RAM and CPU compatible before buying it, and they said it was a wise decision for 970 Extreme4 motherboard.  I subsequently has inquired about the Kingston RAM and included information from a - Data, and they said they used Kingston ringout for approval process as with a - DATA, including the compatibility of the different types of RAM used together.  The RAM was tested and is placed on the store of the computer.
  This problem did not exist until I installed the Intel SSD.

  I don't have a problem with dual boot on my computer after installing a new 7 ultimate on the SSD, and when it worked normally, I atttached the old hd back into your computer, because important data it contains.  This caused a situation of dual-boot.  I did some research and jumped the drive as a slave thinks that it would not cause a problem.  How can I remove Windows 7 from the old hd and then remove the window dual-boot.  I tried the old way to change the startup configuration, however, I can't find it in 7 Ultimate SP1. I also sent the old HD and the start window remained, as the index and the usable Ram 3.62.

  My Questions as already said:
  How can I return to a usable 12 GB of RAM and return the highest Index of Exp Win?
  How the dual boot can be edited to boot from my SSD without window startup and remove window 7 my old HD eventually without formatting?

  The system configuration:

• How dual boot Vista and Windows 7

  I'm using vista Home premium and want to install windows 7 a.m. premium as a dual boot. If I decide later by far with windows vista and keep only 7 How can proceed?

  Assuming that my OS is windows 7 can I use the same disk of vista on the virtual machine with the same product key.

  Vista and 7 cannot exist on the same partition as a dual boot? How to do it.

  Is ther to disadvantages in dual boot?

  There are no real problems with dual boot if it's Setup corrrectly.

  You need operating systems on separate partitions (readers not necessarily distinct, but definitely separate from the partitions).

  If you uninstall Vista later and it's a copy to the details of the program, then you can install it in a virtual drive using the same product key (but you'll probably need to activate manually).

  Here's how Dual boot Vista with Widows7: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/5166-dual-boot-installation-windows-7-vista.html.

  Although written for other systems, the process to remove a dual boot will work with Windows7 and Vista (although you may need to use the commands and Windows7 disk): http://vistasupport.mvps.org/remove_windows_vista_from_dual_boot_system.htm depending on the situation and that was installed first.

• Dual Boot Vista and XP in separate hard drives?

  I currently installed on a hard drive in Vista and I have an extra which is 160 GB I want to install XP on so that I can dualboot both, is it possible?

• How do I set up a dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives?

  Dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives

  I tried to get my computer has a separate hard drive put in place that lets me run Windows XP or Windows Vista. I tried the path of the CMD, but I could do things wrong with that because the news NTLDR appeared much too different info from Vista. Currently, I have deleted this change to the startup configuration. I want to know what I have to do to get these two to be able to boot. I noticed problems similar to mine, but the answer always seems to be a software that would cost me money.

  Thank you

  Tevans95

  Hello Tevans95,

  You cannot install two different operating systems on two different disks. For a dual-boot environment, you must install both XP and Vista on the same drive with different partitions.

  In addition, you must install Windows XP first and then Windows Vista.

  You can check the items below which will give you information on Dual boot.

  Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

  Set up a dual-boot system

  Change the default operating system for startup (multiboot)

  There is no software that can help you to install XP and Vista on different drives.

  Thank you

• 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.

  When I boot from vista... I get C: OS but when I boot XP I E: XP.

  A few applications that I have are not well written and require the explicit C.  So when I boot XP drive should list as C: and not E:

  I really need to keep each separated from each other, but be able to use the dual boot without having to tell the machine this disc to start off every time.

  Suggestions?

  http://www.syschat.com/dual-boot-Vista-XP-Vista-already-1946.html

  Above the way dual boot Vista and XP on separate hard disks, with Vista installed is 1.

  You have the choice whether you want to start Vista or XP.

  See you soon.

• 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?

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

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

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

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

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

  11. how small the Windows partition can be?

  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?

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

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

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

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

  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.

• Satellite Pro A200: How to create Dual boot; Vista & XP using the recovery CD

  I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A200, which was supplied with the product for Vista and XP Recovery discs.
  The license specifically Vista also XP licenses.
  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.
