• Installation of a dual boot for XP on a Vista - XP installation computer forget the SATA drive after restart required #1

  Hello

  I'm trying to set up a dual-boot XPpro on my Vista machine.  I found the instructions detailed at various locations.  I prepared a score of 30G on my SATA drive and booted from my XPpro and XPpro (SP2) retail drives.  The score is quite small because I have only use for some applications.

  I have the following problem and I wonder if anyone can help.  The disk and partition is by my SP2 disc, but it's ok that BONE is not used on any other machine.

  I can choose the new partition as the location for the new installation of XP.

  Installation gets to the point where the first reboot is required, then at startup, I'm stuck on the option 'press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.  I assume that the reader is not detected.  If I try to start from scratch, I get the warning that the new partition already has an operating system on it, but I can reformat and move forward, then arrive at the startup problem re.

  There is no XP drivers for my Board, but I can not install them because they are on CD and the only option to load the specific drivers in the first part of install required has a diskette is in the drive, and of course I don't have a floppy drive.

  I then use the Startup Repair in Vista I can't move to the stage where XP is installed in fact correctly.

  Any help very welcome!

  Problem solved by installing EasyBCD in Vista, it points to the new partition with the inaccessible XP and reboot and selection, installation on board as usual.

  Dual boot now works fine.

• HP Pavilion dv6-1140ea. want to make the dual boot for Linux also

  Hello

  I just bought one of these laptops. Is really very nice. I am a software developer and want to ensure that the software I write also works under Linux.

  For this reason, I want to make my system dual boot. That means I'll need to wipe the hard drive and install from scratch.

  I am really disappointed that the laptop came not with Vista disk (s), and that the HP software I want here (assistant wireless and all that is installed to make Vista works with the card reader, lightscribe DVD, etc.) is not simply written on a separate disc.

  So, can someone please tell me the best course of action once the hard drive is to get the Windows partition as it is now with Vista and HP utilities on? I want to get free or very low cost disks that I already paid for this software.

  I really hope that it is not my option to create recovery discs. Therefore, your time! I tried their creation and halfway through the process of verification of DVD 1 drive (about an hour in the process), he said verification had not.

  I'm looking for a simple, fast and cheap way to do.

  Thank you

  PUK.

  You are welcome.

  An alternative or a safety net in case where everything goes as planned. You have a C:\SwSetup folder that contains all your driver/app installation programs. Copy on dvd before making any changes. Use your Dell drive to install Vista, using the license key of the laptop on background to activate. Use your dvd with applications/drivers to complete.

• Windows XP - Dual Boot for Satellite U300-134

  Hello. I have read other responses to this problem of the addition of Windows XP (as a dual boot) but it still doesn't work. My laptop (I bought a few days ago) comes with Vista, and I bought Windows XP Home Edition - OEM. I got the intel matrix storage manager on a floppy USB drive, but now it gives a message "the txtsetup.oem file is not found." I have XP because it turns out that my work WHAT VPN does not work under Vista (I found that out AFTER I bought the computer unfortunately).

  Can you please tell me what I should do next to get this working? And any other surprises I might encounter? I looked around the internet but cannot find the answers to this. I tried nlite, but have not managed to get this working but either.

  Thank you.
  Ian

  Hello

  There are different reasons why you can not install Win XO on the U300.

  First use the right Manager, Intel Matrix Storage Manager?
  Laptop you seems to support the Intel GM965 + Intel ICH8M chipset!

  Please check this thread!

  The user Markus77 has listed the details!

  Also please don't format the HARD drive or create any installation AFTER the partitions of the Intel Matrix Storage manager. This would remove the driver already installed.

• 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.

• Get a new laptop Win7 for dual boot with Win8

  So I bought a new laptop with Win7 installed in it and decided to take advantage of the offer low cost upgrade Win8 - just in case. I am unwilling to well to commit myself to Win8 yet but I'd like to tinker with it anyway, and so I tried to create a dual boot on another partition that has failed because of the disk being style GPT.

  Now, after reading a bit, I have this: I would be able to delete existing partitions and reformat the MBR disk and then reinstall Win7 (since a recovery DVDs) in that new partition and then install Win8 after that on a second partition? Would this work (as to not to hurt the disk itself) and get my system dual-boot for both of them?

  Windows 8 Pro license is an upgrade, so you are not able to even dual boot with it in any case. You can not install Windows 8 Pro upgrade on a blank partition.

• 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
  and much more. http://www.nliteos.com/nLite.html

• . 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.

• Error message "Access denied" on the sharing of files and folders on a dual-boot computer.

  I have a Dual Boot PC - the two Windows 7 Home Premium - one 32-bit, 64-bit.

  If I try to access files created in the 32-bit system to the 64-bit system, I get "Access Denied" errors. This is extremely annoying as its my PC, my data, my everything!

  The only way to solve the problem seems to be to give all permissions to "Everyone", but then I get my parcel Internet Security complain bitterly that my PC is now open to piracy because I gave "Everyone" full access permissions.

  I searched the Web and Microsoft, but I never seem to find exactly what I'm looking for; part of my search text seems to have more weight than another. For example, I add "in the system to dual-boot" and I get links to creating a dual boot system.

  If anyone has any suggestions on how to grant permissions to access 32-bit system folder to the main user on the 64 bit system, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you very much.

• Dual-Boot 7 and 8

  I'm trying to set up a dual boot with the two 7 and. When I go to install Windows 8, I'm not showing partition 1 and partition 2 is called system and takes 300 MB. My C: drive that contains Windows 7 shows that the partition 3. So no matter what partition I add shows that the partition 4, which is dealing with s a drive extended. No idea where partition 1 is? I can't do anything with the system partition, except delete it. It is the only option available for me to choose. Thanks for any help I can get with this problem.

  Yes then use Disk Manager to delete this volume/partition.

  Run DiskPart , which will open a control of the interface text box prompt Diskpart command

  List Disk to check the disc you want to use.

  Select Disk 'x' to set the focus to the disk that you want to.

  Create Partition Primary to allocate all contiguous free space to a new primary partition.

  exit to quit. You can now use for format, label and assign a drive letter to the new partition.

  Finally boot from Windows 8 support, choose custom installation and install Windows 8 on the new partition. The setup of Windows 8 will change the existing system to include new boot options. Don't forget no drive in the environment of Windows 8 letters will be different from Windows 7, but labels will carry through, so I labeled partition Win7 and the other Win8 to make it absolutely clear who is who.

  If any built-in hardware is not recognized point option to update driver in Device Manager at the root of the partition of Windows 7 with subdirectories to search the existing drivers, which sets all my unknown devices.

  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.

  Good luck.

• Need a help of activating/deactivating the dual-boot...

  Having learned that with ADOBE, there is always a nightmare scenario, I stop in my tracks until you get more information.

  As mentioned in another post, I created a dual-boot for installation - WinXP-64-bit and Win7-64 bit - so I can possibly migrate to Win7.

  I installed (off-trial) Production Premium CS4 in the Win7 partition without any problems. Open PrPro and exported using still and my codec preferred. So far so good.

  As expected, I got the message "Excuse the interruption" telling me that there are already two copies with the same serial number-I have one on my laptop and the other is, of course, in the partition of Win XP on the same computer and HDD as this new facility.

  I chose the "30 days to solve the problem" option.

  It was then that I was able to migrate my preferences, keyboard & other presets for Win7 install and confirm their proper functioning before activation.

  PITA #1-XP, presets, prefs, etc., can be found in "c:\Documents and Pro\4.0\ Data\Adobe\Premiere Data."

  In Win7, they are located in "c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0\.» It is a hidden folder, so you must go to the Options\View folder and check "Show hidden folders". I think that it is now in control Panel\Settings (I got by a help link so I don't know, but it is not in the 'Tools' folder headers).

  PITA #2 - after copying my PrPro presets, keyboard, Pref settings, etc., to the above address, I tried to open PrPro in Win7 to confirm everything. It was about an hour after my previous session. But now I no longer get the option "30 days"! Only "activate" 'buy a license' or 'Quit '!

  PITA #3 - since I do not know how the deactivation and Activation work, I'm not about to go further. Given that the two copies are on the same physical computer and the hard drive, they obviously cannot be made online at the same time. I fear that whatever happens to end Adobe that will not see Disabling or will not properly activate the new installation and then I'll be left with nothing operational. If they cannot keep track of the start date of the new facility and wiped out the trial of 30 days in an hour, I don't have a lot of confidence that the activation process will go so well. I think that there are a limited number of activations as well, and I don't know what this applies to the or how it works. I can see a scenario where I have to re - activate Win XP partition to try to find something and then get stuck there because I've used up my activations and can't reactivate the Win7 partition.

  Anyone has any ideas on this...?

  TIA,

  Hi fuaho,

  According to my experience, disable via the About menu was fairly reliable, and you get immediate confirmation that it happened. In the past, in CS2 era, if you had more than 2 versions of the license that were still open, you could call Adobe and explain to them and they would activate it manually again. I had people logic, understanding when I called. Another time, I had a hard drive accident and failed to disable.

  You can try to call them and talk about them on the phone, because it's a matter of series/license. Just a thought.
