  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.

• 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.

• 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

• Windows 8 crashed after update - dual-boot

  Hello all, I installed Kubuntu in dual-boot with Windows 8 (not 8.1) a weeek ago and both ran correctly. I've used Windows later than yesterday, and... Update! Win partition crashed after the auto with the Lenovo logo and 6 balls turning constantly.

  I tried to use Boot-Repair, but it did not solve my problem.

  An error occurred during repair.

  Please write down the following URL:

  In case you are still having a problem starting, enter this address to:

  E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  You can now restart your computer.

  The start-up files [the operating system currently in use - 14.04.1 LTS Ubuntu] are far from the beginning of the disc. Your BIOS can't detect them. You can try again after you create a partition/Boot (EXT4, > 200 MB, beginning of the disc). This can be done via tools such as gParted. Then select this partition via the [separate/boot partition:] [Boot Repair] option. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootPartition)

  I don't know how to read these newspapers, and I kindly ask someone to read it and to tell me something. Also, I did not understand the last paragraph, sorry.

  I have an image of Windows Backup in the case and a CD of Rscue to win. He ran, but I wasn't sure of its possible 'reaction' to the presence of GRUB. is it likely to create problems for my startup parameters? I heard that he is likely to erase everything on my HD

  THINGS THAT MAY BE IMPORTANT:

  -Boot-Repair is set to "Secure starting" (checked under "advanced options"), but is not my UEFI/BIOS.

  -analyzing sda4 you notice the presence of boot.ini, it has not been deleted after revenues of bootmgr?

  Hi Max,.

  Using the restore disc, we can format Windows and we will be able to format the partition. However formatting Ubuntu can contact Ubuntu support forums http://community.ubuntu.com/contribute/support/ubuntu-forums/ since they will be able to guide you to the best.

  Hope this information is useful.

• 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.

• After installing Windows 7, the option to dual boot with my Windows XP already installed is not available.

  PROBLEM TO DUAL BOOT XP AND 7... 1 XP

  I have 4 partition one my h/d. in win xp (S.P 2) c drive is already install. now I install win 7 in d. disc 7 victory is also insal smouthly. but when I restart my computer, startup bual option not shown... only xp boot otometicaly... why?

  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.

• HP Pavilion P7-1459 Windows 7 drivers - want to dual boot

  I need assistance in obtaining 64 bit drivers Windows 7 for my HP Pavilion P7 1459 in the driver download page is available as Windows 8 and 8.1.

  I'd like to partition the hard drive and double to start my machine (windows & and windows 8.1)

  I have all ready partitioned my drive and changed the settings of the BIOS however... She always wish than drivers.

  Thank you for your time & effort.

  Darci

  Hello:

  Your BIOS settings are correct.

  That error usually means that the Setup file is bad.  Bad disc, incomplete ISO file, bad burn.  Burn the ISO file to the lowest speed as possible.

  There is nothing I can do to help with this.

  There is a very outside chance that Windows is looking for a storage controller driver and reports that the error.

  Try this and see what happens.  If it doesn't work, you try another media to install W7.

  Download the drivers from this link below (first or second file listed - 32 or 64 bit depending on the case).

  https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?AGR=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=23060&keyword=Intel+RAPI...

  Copy the files to a flash usb without all the folders drive.

  With the flash player and the installation of W7 media connected to the computer, boot from the installation of W7 media.

  After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

  You should now see the storage driver files listed.

  If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

  Follow the prompts and I hope, will install W7.

• Pavilion dv6t-7000 failed to create a virtual hard drive for a dual boot Windows 7 / windows 8

  Hi, I just bought this system, a Hp Pavilion dv6t-7000, Enterntainment CTO notebook PC.  I want to take the amount of space between the C drive and create a virtual hard disk.

  Disk 0 is severed as follows:

  System:

  199 MB NTFS; Primary partition, Active system

  C: 678.60 GB NTFS; Boot, page file, crash dump, primary Partition

  D recovery: 21,53 Go NTFS; Healthy primary partition

  HP_tools 108 MB Fat 32; Healthy primary partition

  I would take 50 GB on C: and create a virtual hard disk to install windows 8 to have a dual boot system.  Can someone point me to a credible link that describes how do this or share the solution?  I tried a process described in TechRepublic where you create a virtual hard disk, and then start on Windows 8, shift f10 in an admin window and try to use diskpart select vdisk file that does not exist, that is to say, I'm not.

  Is there anything else I need to do?  I can do this via disk management?

  Thanks much for any info.

  I found this process is here.

  It seems similar to the process of the technology of the Republic, but it has a few key differences. Give the TechNet process a try it may work because of the extra steps, he has.

• How to install Windows XP on a Windows Vista using Vista workstation to install XP in a separate mode dual-boot partition.

  If you have a Windows XP workstation it is a piece of cake to install Windows Vista on the same workstation using the dual-boot using a separate on the same hard disk partition...  However, the main centre recently received a large number of donations new jobs Lenovo ThinkCentre with factory installed and perfectly running Vista operating systems.  Question: Is there a procedure that would allow using Vista to install Windows XP on these workstations dual-boot mode?  Workstations must be used in a class of main center where we need to teach using either XP or Vista depending on student needs.   A second hard drive would allow such a facility.  But we would like to use a 2nd partition on the existing hard disk of Vista to install XP.  However, Microsoft has always included features in its Windows operating systems that overcome by using the current operating system to install an older version of the OS.  There must be a work around there somewhere.  Thanks for your help.

  If you have any available records of vista, you could make a partition in disk management (right click computer, manage, enable the UAC and then go into disk management.)  Shrink the partition and format it with NTFS free space.)  Then boot from the XP disc and install it.  Once you have completed the installation of xp. Start the vista disc and go to the repair options.  Go to a command prompt and type "bootrec.exe /fixboot" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.  After restart, you should see a start with windows vista and xp listed menu.  If xp is not in the list, let me know and I can tell you how to add it.

• 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

  New Member.

  I found the problem:

  System reserved (f) had to be removed... (:
