Update from XP to 7 Professional can - system dual boot - I uninstall XP?

I upgraded from XP to 7 Professional by installing 7 on a new hard drive.  This gave me a system dual boot, which I don't want.  I want to remove the old hard drive on my computer and only start and use 7.  I can do this now?  I activated Windows 7.

  • Satellite L300D-200 - I can do a system dual boot?

    Hello

    Why it shouldn't be possible to make a system dual boot?

    You can install a Linux distro without problem. What distribution do you want to install? If you want Ubuntu I can recommend the Wubi Installer. This tool is very easy to use because it installs Ubuntu as a Windows application.
    But of course you can also use another Linux distribution ;)

    Last but not least, let me give you a tip: before installing something, make sure you already burned the Toshiba recovery disc. If a problem occurs, you can restore the factory settings every time.

  • What is the purpose of the BOOTSECT. BACK file on a system dual boot?

    What is the purpose of the BOOTSECT. BACK file on a system dual boot?

    Hi Clyde,

    What is the operating system installed on your computer?

    Bootsect.DOS is the boot sector loaded by NTLDR charge BACK, or if there is no file not specified when an operating system is not NT-based loading. When your computer is configured to dual boot in Windows NT version 4.0 and another operating system, it uses a hidden file called Bootsect.dos to boot into the no Windows NT operating system. If the Bootsect.dos file is damaged or is missing from the root of the C drive, you receive this error. Bootsect.DOS is created by the installation of Windows NT. The boot sector in sector 0 of the C drive is copied in Bootsect.dos until the installation program writes the Windows NT boot sector. (Setup will not overwrite an existing Bootsect.dos.) If you choose a previous operating system, Windows NT runs Bootsect.dos, simulating the normal procedure to start the previous operating system. Because the information contained in Bootsect.dos is really created by the previous operating system, it is very difficult to re - create.

    The installation of Windows 8 on a drive separate partition/logic will not affect any aspect of your Windows 7 Professional system. You will need to install all the applications for use with Windows 8 on this system with the system of Windows 8 running. Some people, it is useful to create yet another disk partition separated/logic for their documents, pictures, videos and files of the user. Thay can be shared between the two systems, open and modified either by, according to the needs.

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

  • Win 8 upgrade - the user can cause dual boot using the same license?

    Hello

    Thanks to MS for offers updated Win 7 for win 8 to 14.99 USD for all new buyers of Win 7 PC after June, 2012.

    I'm one of the eligible candidates for the upgrade at this price. However, I spent a lot of time, money and effort to put in place the Win 7 OS so that he could function at an optimal level I want.

    My understanding of an upgrade to win 8 is to lose everything I have Win 7 and replace the entire operating system to win 8 via a download from the MS. Download Center

    The problem is that I don't know if Win 8 is what I like and not sure if it is better than Windows 7. Reinstallation of Win 7 back takes time and effort.

    Do I know if the user can install Win 8 to another partition primary drive c during the upgrade, retaining the original Win7 (same license) to the other partition?

    If this is the case, it would be a great bonus for the new buyer of Win 7 PC, otherwise the user need to spend more money to buy to win a CD of Installation of 8 at the store and install t to separate partition.

    Thank you

  • System dual-boot programs wrong volume.

    My system: MacPro3, 1 - dual-booting with Snow Leopard and Yosemite.

    Having Photoshop installed on the two volumes, but work especially in the snow, Wacom has failed to make a control panel operation Intuos for my tablet that works in Yosemite.

    Not great, but a few days ago, snow leopard threw a wobbler on me and decided to launch PSCS3 installation of Yosemite, which means that it does not launch when I right click on a file and choose 'open with '. I'm told it's been moved and need to be repaired. Super frustrating.

  • is it possible and safe to open the registry of Windows 98 into XP RegEdit on a system dual boot?

    I have reinstall some stuff on the side of a system XP dual boot, I found the instructions to transfer the configuration to a new machine, and these instructions include export the registry keys to a .reg file. Is there a way I can save myself a few reboots if I find more like that and you open the registry of Windows 98 on drive C with Regedit in XP?

    If necessary, I can easily access the regedit win98 since Windows 98 program is on drive C and XP on the D. I don't want to corrupt the registry win98se, if I try to open it under XP.

    The procedure would be

    Open the registry of Windows 98SE.
    Export the key to a .reg file
    Close the damper of win98.
    copy the key in the .reg file in the registry of xp in the normal way.

    SlickRCBD salvation,

    Unfortunately you cannot open regedit (registry editor) for the operating system Windows 98 to computer of Windows XP that you will not be able to access the same. You must start the operating system to access its registry settings.

    Note: Microsoft does not have the responsibility to transfer the registry settings of the operating system to another. Op can do on its own risk.

  • I can't dual boot my PC pre-installed Windows 7 with Windows XP?

    I created a primary partition on my Windows 7 PC preinstalled in freeing up space. When I start my PC the Windows XP installation CD, Windows XP will in the usual configuration process by displaying the F6 option on the screen blue etc and it unloads the controllers and disks required.  However, when the installation phase starts, an error message appears: "a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.  Continue displaying the error message "If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears the following steps - check for viruses, run Chkdsk.  It is followed by a time code error stop: 0X0000007B etc.  Please note that I checked my computer for any viruses and none have been reported.  I ran CHKDSK in guest of user privileges to administrator and windows has checked the file system had no problem.

    It is important to mention that since I managed to install a copy of Windows Vista on my PC pre-installed Windows 7 without any problem.  I can now now dual boot between the two OSs.  Unfortunately, I can not install a new genuine copy of Windows XP on my PC.  I get the same old error message after configuring setup blue screen whenever I try to install Windows XP.  Now, it seems that I have to buy another PC to install XP despite the fact that I have a lot of space on the hard drive of Windows 7 preinstalled PC.  I am aware of the fact that Windows XP uses a different startup for Windows 7/Vista file, but my computer must always allow Windows XP install.

    I am just totally baffled by the latter.   It is normally recommended to install Windows XP before Windows 7, but because my PC is preinstalled with Windows 7, this recommeded option has not been available to me.  I would appreciate any suggestion to this problem of people there.

    Thank you

    "the SATA driver will be included in the Chipset Drivers?" - Yes they are generally at least that your SATA ports are connected to a separate SATA/RAID chip.

    There are two good utilities to create a "SlipStreamed" CD
    (1) Autostreamer - easy to use. (Only not for the integration of the drivers)
    (2) nLite - which is more complex, but you can integrate drivers

  • Qosmio X 300 - 14U - how to make a system dual boot?

    Hello to all Toshiba X 300 users!

    I recently bought X 300 14U and I try to load XP as a dual boot. I used floppy, I did everything in my power to dual boot.

    Please could someone help? I checked the forum to see how to do, but it keeps on saying the same thing I've done.

    I tried to ask Toshiba what chipset it uses, but they are just guessing.
    Could some please point in the right direction which eat store I need?
    What processor and SATA drivers I need a way to apply these to make a successful dual boot with XP Pro SP2?
    I have Vista Home premium installed.

    I did as much as I do.
    I even tried to run virtual pc but Vista home Premium does not support.

    Than k you much

    Hello!

    Before installing Windows XP, you need the SATA drivers, because I think your cell phone works in AHCI mode.
    The drivers for it are in the Intel Storage Manager package and you can find it on the Intel Web site: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/

    On the site of Toshiba, you can t find the drivers for Windows XP. For the Qosmio X 300 are only available Windows Vista drivers and so needs to seek other pilot sites.
    For example:
