• Update Windows XP SP3 on a Dual Boot System w/Vista

  Hello, I have a partition of windows xp and windows vista in my laptop Acer. (Pre-installed Vista and XP as a secondary operating system).
  My questions are:

  > Is it OK to upgrade Windows XP SP2 to SP3 of Windows even, it is placed in a dual boot?
  > Don't install SP3 will be erase all content of Windows XP?
  > Is affected the partition of Windows Vista if I download Windows XP SP3 of XP SP2 Partition?
  > If I download the SP3 for Windows XP in the Microsoft.com site, it needs to be bootable and recorded in a CD or just run the installer from the hard disk automatically after installation?

  Thanks to all in advance!

  You're off topic of the Forum, you have published, which is dedicated to the beta Version of Microsoft Security Esentials

  However, I moved the yoru post.

  You can update to SP3 on a system XPSP2 dual boot Vista residence. You can not install XP * after * Vista for a Dual Boot system unless you use a 3rd Boot Manager part.
  Run the update to SP3 does not erase anything, it updates the XP system components.
  There will be no impact to your Vista installation on your system to dual-boot PC.
  SP3 is an update. It downloads an installation program analyzes your installation of XP and downloads the bits necessary to update to SP3 then install them after you have saved the files it will replace. You should be able to get SP3 easily by going to Windows Update in XP.

• 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.

• Removal of partition of Windows 7 from Dual Boot Windows 7/8

  I recently installed Windows 8 on PC from a parent, because it's the upgrade $ 14.99, uncertain about whether my parents would be as W8, I decided to double it start alongside W7.  However, my parent loved W8 and he now uses as its main operating system.  My problem is, how safely get rid of the partition of Windows 7? Try to remove it cause the laptop to be unable to boot because it seems that the boot files are still on the W7 partition.  Is there a way to make the W8 the 'boot' partition, perhaps by creating / copying the boot somehow files?

  Solved, here is how I fixed it in case someone else runs into a similar issue:

  1 installed and run EasyBCD on Windows 8

  2 open the BCD Backup/repair and C: set as default boot drive

  3 used Minitool Partition to delete the partition in which Windows 7 has been installed and extend Win 8 partition on unallocated space

  4 restarted, Dual Boot screen appeared, though there is only a single OS installed, so re-opened EasyBCD on Windows 8 and remove the entry from Windows 7 in Dual Boot menu

  Note that this is a VERY good idea to keep a Windows 8 installation disc/USB on hand at any time during this procedure, in case something goes wrong.

• No its w/WinXP Pro (Dual-boot system)

  I have 4 computer Pentium Gateway w/WinXP Pro and motherboard that has never worked for her so I added a sound card and that worked. Then a friend added a dual-boot system (Ubuntu) and installed the drivers that showed me that the sound of the motherboard works with Ubuntu/Linux, but not for XP. Now I'm stuck change between MB & sound card. How to do his job on my MB with XP? Thank you.

  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.

• Windows 7 is not genuine, after the installation of windows 8 in dual boot.

  When I want to upgrade to windows 8, Windows 7, I think I should try windows 8.

  So, I installed windows 8 with dual boot.

  But after the successful Windows installation 8, when I started my laptop with windows 7 OS, it shows that the copy of windows is not genuine.

  What should I do?

  How can I get my windows 7 back as it was?

  Please help me... :'(

  Download and run the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool:
  Download the tool: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=56062
  Post your results (copy button) and paste the results in your answer.

  As a starting point, the first thing you should check is the section to three figures on the number of product ID, if it corresponds or is included in one or two digits of the examples below, you have probably a MSDN or TechNet product key. "These keys must not be sold for retail use.

  065 066 067, 068, 069 to Ultimate, box 220 for professional and 230, 231, 232 area for Home Premium,

  There are probably others, but they should be close to those that are displayed"
  (How to be certain - download the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool listed above).

  Note: Though that illegally sold MSDN/TechNet allow product key for activation of more than one
  (usually 5 or 10), so these keys can be sold "several times" before activation may fail.

• Upgrade Windows 7 Home/Windows 10 Pro Dual boot computer CPU

  I plan on upgrading my CPU to a core of an I5 Quad model, dual Pentium G630. The card mother won't be replaced as it can accommodate a socket LGA-1155. I can also be tempted to replace my current system with a 250 GB SSD drive. It is a dual-boot computer that used to have two installations of Windows 7: it was OEM that came pre-installed, when the computer was purchased, and the other was a retail version. The OEM version updated to win Pro 8, then Win 8.1.1 and finally Windows 10 Pro.

  I would wait for activation or problems that this will be a smooth operation?

  If so, what might be the complications?

  Thanks for the tips

  Hello

• . 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.
