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 easiest way is to use the DualBoot Pro.  He has the tools to write the necessary code automatically.  It is excellent for managing the tasks you want to do.

    However, you have a potential license problem.  Even if your Dell has the exact code in the BIOS to activate the copy of Windows on the hard drive of your wife, the computer is only allowed for an OEM copy.  If Dell is back after repairs then you should be OK once you have turned on the hard disk in his computer of your wife. You can delete the entry of additional start with DualBoot Pro menu,

    Each file type is in a different format.  The formats are different
    essentially for two reasons:

    1. the files contain any other type of information. For
    example, an mp3 file contains a music and a xls file contains a
    worksheet. The music and spreadsheets are very different things and one
    a unique type of guy would not work for both.

    2. There is also the example of the types of files that are very different, even
    Although basically they both contain the same type of data. For example,.
    a doc file is a file created by Microsoft Word processor (or
    some compatible programs) and a wpd file is a text file
    created by WordPerfect. This is because Word and WordPerfect are two
    very different programs, with very different characteristics. Designers
    and authors of each of the programs designed for a type of file that would be
    works very well with their program.

    I don't know what they are. What are in?

    Basically, you can delete all the .tmp files. Note, however, that
    Although 102,000,000 may seem like a large number, it's actually a
    small amount of disk space. These days, where you can buy a 250 GB hard
    drive for about US $50, 102MB is about 2 cents worth.

  • Can I install windows 8 on a system dual boot (XP, 7) and keep the dual boot (XP)?

    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?

    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.

  • where are the valid BACK files located in windows 7?

    I'm a key USB bootable recovery in what directory can I find the files BACK?
    1. pointing to c:/windows
    results - message: "there is no valid DOS system files at the specified location.
    2. I tried in c:/windows/system had the same message:
    "There is no valid DOS system files at the specified location.
    3. I tried in c:/windows/system32 got the same message:
    "There is no valid DOS system files at the specified location.

    If this directory files can the valid BACK is found

    The reason why you can't find the files BACK, it's that there is no place for BACK in Windows 7. BACK is a legacy 16 - bit operating system introduced 30 years ago. Its files will not work on Windows 7 machines.

    Windows 7 has a built-in tool to create a bootable CD, the "Windows repair CD. You can do this via the control panel / backup and restore. It is much more powerful than the BACK: it gives you full access to all partitions NTFS and it can accomplish several tasks. BACK could never do either. Highly recommended.

  • What are the font AFM files to?

    Given that Adobe Font Folio provides and as far as I know always provided fonts PostScript Type 1, in its Mac version, with the contour files + a file suitcase per family which supposedly included the metric of fonts in the range of resources, and in his versions of Windows, with contour PFB + metric files PFM files, what have been the AFM file never compatible with? Why Adobe also include those? What have been their alleged use cases? In fact, wasn't every other foundry fonts PostScript Type 1 in the same way? What would we ever need of these AFM files, even back in the day?

    Back in the day, there are applications that have used the .afm files to get beyond metrics to put in the files .pfm on Windows or the screen fonts called on the Mac. And besides, there are also applications that functioned on raw MS-DOS or UNIX that don't support other mechanisms of metrics.

    In addition, ATM (Adobe Type Manager, not the ATM) had the ability to create files .pfm from a combination of the file .pfb and corresponding .inf and .afm files sent in packs of fonts early who often do not have a .pfm file.

    Of course, with fonts OpenType, the need for all other files disappeared.

  • What is the endpoints_listener.ora file?

    In 11.2.0.1 (OH/network/admin) it is a new file called endpoints_listener.ora. What is the purpose of this file and what is its relationship with listener.ora? Couldn't find much info on this file in the docs.

    Check here:
    [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/readmes.112/e11015/toc.htm]

    The endpoints_listener.ora file is used for the default listener endpoints when the files of data in Oracle Database 11 g Release 1 or Oracle Database 10 g Release 2 are created on a disk ASM 11.2 release group. However, when the listener is changed (for example, changing a number of port using the Network Setup Wizard), the endpoints_listener.ora file is not updated.
