• Windows XP does not start in a dual-boot system

  I have a Windows XP and Linux Mint 10 Julia on separate partitions in a dual boot system. Windows has been installed first, followed by Linux. Initially, the two worked, then, for some reason any I had to reinstall Linux. Now I can't get into Windows.
  I can't enter the recovery by using the Windows CD Mode if that helps.

  booting from cd is not always the best way to start an operating system installed on disk 0, for example drive C.

  Yes, the default value for fixboot will always be the first drive to the motherboard, regardless of how many additional hard disks are installed.  It is the way windows is designed to be.  but in all fairness, you can start windows via a USB key with recent technology created by hp.com

  also, if the disk check found a few errors then it means that there are corrupt or missing files.

  so, at the command prompt go ahead and Run fixmbr, fixboot, bootcfg /rebuild and a chkdsk/r

  You can also type help at the command prompt to get the details of the above.

  You still have a problem the appliance in msinfo32?

  What the Manager device, is it still show something in the other devices section?

  Remove the card from its complement and distributed to msinfo32/Device Manager and see if the problem is still there.

  When you reported it as an E-4100, was it of msinfo32 or from another source, such as a label on the case?

  There is a "Download hardware detection' link on the page of the gateway I provided above, what happens if you try to update material from this link?

  You can also try Windows Update as a last resort.

• 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.

• Error message trying to update Windows xp sp3

I tried to update to windows, as I do when I reinstall windows and got the error message "the site has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view.

I just reinstalled windows again, try to update and received the same error message.

  I hope that someone can walk me through this time and end up with the right solution.

  This should eliminate a known problem that manifested by blocking windows update to do research without end and CPU at 100%, what is happening unless the most recent monthly cumulative IE security update is already manually downloaded and installed.  Second Tuesday of each month, this will be a ritual to perform or windows update crashes.  This is caused by a problem with the site Web of windows update is not a problem with your computer. Microsoft is committed to solve the problem which has continued for months.  Promises, promises.  The genesis of the issue took place in the summer 2013 and has been reported in this community after the updates of August, when it was reported that the last cumulative update of security for September KB2870699 be downloaded and installed manually set the CPU of fortification to Windows Update.  The linked thread shows this being reported in September and a month the well-known universal question went from bad to worse, with the installation of the updated cumulative security for IE being the fix manually.  The problem has been compounded by a bad Microsoft Fix it tool that was linked by Microsoft as the fix for Windows Update problems, but the difficulty bad it tool would then instantly to corrupt the registry of a computer of the user and cause an additional problem that would make the BITS and the two stop work, worsening the problem instead of fix windows update problem.  971058 is the famous set and there are other iterations that have the same bad code and cause the corruption of the same register.

  It often happens that the installation of SP3 will break the windows update feature by not properly installing the windows update agent.  An older version of the windows update agent can be downloaded and saved in the C directory and installed by an execution command.

  EasyBCD to add Windows 7 in the start menu. Note: after you have installed Windows 7, you should have a folder located in the Windows XP partition named C:\Boot (BCD store) that's what Windows 7 and XP boot build to start with. Easy BCD will list each operating system in the BCD store and also allow you to add an additional OS (in your case, Windows 7) and set the default OS after a 30 second delay.

• . PST to Outlook 2007 (including IMAP) can be shared on a dual boot system Windows XP/Win7?

  I'm migrating from Win XP Pro/32 for Win 7 Pro/64.  I dual-boot between the two while I migrate and test applications.  During the test, I would like to have Outlook 2007 use the same mail/calendar/contacts /... on both systems.  Among the files of e-mail are IMAP which seems to make the process more difficult.  Is this possible?

  Thank you!

  This can happen absolutely not.  I do it.

  Before you do anything, make a copy of your default PST.  Nothing of what I describe should affect your data somehow, but you can't be too sure.

  You don't have to worry about IMAP accounts.  IMAP accounts always have their own sets of folder, but given that the data are kept on the server, two prospects will see the same data.  In order to see your default folders, then Outlook closed (on a partition), move the PST file to a folder that can see the two partitions.  I have two partitions (XP and 7 on the other) on my main drive and I put my PST in a folder on a second disc.  After you move the PST file, start Outlook.  He will complain that it cannot see its records and give you a file browser window.  Navigate to the new location of your default PST, select it and click OK.  Outlook open and look exactly as it did before.

  Close Outlook and start the other partition.  Open the mail applet in the control panel (you may need to enable the 32-bit Control Panel), click the data files button, click Add and browse to the shared PST file.  Select it and click OK.  Now, click on set as default to make the place of delivery.  This will make the default folders (calendar, Contacts, Inbox, etc.) Similarly to the second partition.  Close the control panel and starting Microsoft Outlook.  You should see exactly what you saw on the other partition.

  You will also see the old PST, if you have one configured and you can move all data you want form saved the old default files in the new default folders by opening each folder, by selecting all the data with Ctrl + A and moving the selection.  (You can use copy instead if you want to have the original PST as a partial backup.)  For the calendar, you must select a table as per prior category view works Ctrl + A.

• 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

• For Windows 8.1 and XP dual-boot

  After buying a desktop PC HP Pavilion 500 - 245ea last week, I find now that I can't run a significant number of programs I use on my XP Machine, and instead of running two PC, I need to set up this new PC with Dual Boot installation.

  To do this, I need to partition the hard drive and install Windows XP first before installing Windows 8.1, which is difficult with a preinstalled windows 8.1 already on the PC and no record of widows 8.1.

  Please notify

  Hi, Jack:

  I don't know of any PC, you can get today who have the support and drivers for Windows XP.

  Al I can say is that if you want a PC based on an Intel processor, you cannot get one that has a 8-series chipset.

  Intel 7 series and older chipsets support drivers for XP somewhere - not necessarily have HP.

  Then, you also have to make sure the graphics and audio chips drivers XP.

  Try to get a PC with the Realtek HD audio chip.  Realtek has XP drivers for audio.

  Best regards
