Create Multiboot: Windows 7, OpenSUSE & KolibriOS
Dec 8, 2012I'm tasked with creating a triple boot setup using the OSs mentioned in the title. All operating systems must be installed on the same drive with a fourth partition to be accessible by all 3 (for sharing of files). The triple boot MUST be done using the Windows 7 boot manager, so EasyBCD and other managers are out of the question. I've never even heard of the latter 2 operating systems and need it done by Tuesday if possible.

Jul 2, 2009If I purchase the RETAIL Windows 7 Upgrade:
1. On a system with Windows XP, can I install the upgrade into a 2nd partition to create a multiboot Windows XP/Windows 7 system? I do have retail Windows XP Pro media full version.
2. On a system with Vista, can I install the upgrade into a 2nd partition to create a multiboot Vista/Windows 7 system? I do not have Vista on media, it was pre-installed on the system.
3. On a notebook computer running Vista, should I choose to do so, could I install Windows 7 over Vista? Might I get into trouble due to proprietary notebook drivers?
4. On a notebook computer running Vista, should I choose to do so, could I uninstall Vista and then install the Windows 7 upgrade? Might I get into trouble due to proprietary notebook drivers? Also, since I do not have Vista on media, how would I prove that I qualify for the Windows 7 Upgrade?
Multiboot, XP Wont Boot
Jul 9, 2009Have you ever been in a situation where you desperately need help? Well, I'm in that position currently. This is a time-essential matter and I am appreciative to ANY help/tips/ideas that you have. I seriously need some ****ing help here.
Alright, I have two hard drives. C, and Y.
C is the primary hard drive from which I boot Windows XP from, and Y is where all of my other operating systems will be. I had only XP installed, and I decided I wanted to use Windows 7 as well as other operating systems such as Fedora. I first installed Windows 7, and for whatever reason it didn't recognize XP, so it would only boot to 7. I tried and tried to get 7 to recognize XP on boot, but it simply wouldn't. I figured installing Fedora might help, but it didn't. I also tried using EasyBCD to get XP to function, but alas - it won't help.
If I remove hard drive Y, and try to boot to XP it says NTLDR is missing. I've tried ****ing everything to get XP to work. I used a boot cd, I tried XP's install disc (whenever I try to copy the ntldr files it won't let me write to the hard drive, it says Access is Denied.) and I cannot install Windows XP all over again. That would truly be a disastrous solution.
What I want to know is
1. How can I get XP to boot again?
2. How can I get Windows 7 to recognize XP when I install it?
3. After Windows 7 and XP are working harmoniously, how can I get other operating systems like Fedora to work?

Nov 30, 2011Has anybody tested this before? YUMI - Multiboot USB Creator (Windows) | USB Pen Drive Linux It appears to promise a way to boot from USB to multi and select-able ISOs?So the software would format the USB drive for me once, and I could then add ISOs for Windows 7 pro, Ghost and GParted?If this works.. I would not need CD/DVDs devices or media on newer desktops..
View 4 Replies View RelatedInstall A Second OS Of Windows 7 X64 Multiboot?
Aug 26, 2012I had a new system made up for me a few months back and as I was so insistent on excellent cooling - fans - RAM etc, I didn't pay enough attention to the HDD's.
Subsequently the system was installed on an SSD 60GB. For a normal user this would be adequate, but I work with a lot of digital programs that write to the app data folders and I can't safely move those onto the D:Drive where I have programs and Docs - all libraries. I have hard linked everything I could, but the more Windows updates and other updates I do, the Winsxs folder is already 7.2GB.
I only have 20GB's left after a short time and would like to be able to install another Windows 7 x64 on a 1TB drive I can free up easily. Ideally, I want to keep the SSD drive as an OS to use for general use and get all my graphics programs onto a different system for work purposes.
I have not ever multibooted before and have no idea how to go about it - or I do but it could be wrong.
Is it even possible to have one OS on an SSD and the other on a HDD? I do have an extra unused OEM version of Win 7 x64 ultimate and hope that is legal to use two OS on same machine.
Change From Multiboot To Just Windows 7?
Jun 14, 2010Here's what I'd like to do. I've got vista on my first disk which is a regular hdd. I installed Windows 7 on a new ssd a month or so ago.
I wanted to get rid of my vista installation since I am no longer using it, and then I wanted to format the vista disk and use it to save all my data on it rather than the SSD.
However, my current problem is how to get "rid" of the vista installation while still being able to boot to Windows 7. I've looked at bcdedit from Windows 7 and it seems that all the boot info is on that vista drive. I unhid OS files, etc., and it does indeed look like they are on the vista disk. I sort of expected this, so I'm not surprised to find out that it is there.
So, here are my questions. What do I need to copy to the SSD, and what do I need to edit to make the SSD bootable? I'm pretty sure I need to go into disk management and set the SSD to be the active system partition, but I also suspect that there is some other stuff I need to copy to the SSD from the Vista disk, and maybe I need to edit the bcd and maybe some other registry info.
Multiboot EPIC FAIL
Feb 2, 2010Well first off, I am running Windows 7. Its been the best to me except one thing. My printer only has 32 bit drivers and I have a 64bit OS. What I did was partition my drive and install Windows XP home on that partitioned drive. The installation was successful except that XP was now the only only thing that was bootable. I couldn't multiboot. It would always start in XP. To make things worse, I couldn't even go online on XP.
I had found a solution to dual boot but it required me to download something from windows update. Even if I was able to dual boot, I still wouldn't be able to go online. So I put my Win 7 disk and repaired it which made windows 7 my boot again. Then I deleted my whole windows xp partition (I hope that doesn't damage it)
So... Now I need help. I want to try to install xp again but I want win 7 to be my main boot instead of xp taking over like it did. Also not being able to connect to the internet with xp. What could be the problem?

Oct 20, 2011A while ago I bought some new big 1TB HD's and decided to install windows 7 Ultimate onto one of them. To make the transition from XP to 7 easier for me I decided to do a multiboot so i could switch back to XP if i needed something.Once i had everything the way i wanted it and i was no longer using XP i decided to remove the old HD. Also it was an IDE and it was cluttering up the inside of my computer. Now whenever I unplug the original HD i get a boot disk failure.my guess is that my computer is looking to the C drive for where to boot windows 7 but I dont know how to change it so that it looks to that HD instead.

Aug 13, 2009I have 2 hard drives, the first has Win 7 RC1 and the second has XP and Vista in their own partitions. The Win 7 boot loader gives me the choice of Windows 7, Vista and XP when I boot up. The question is: If I install Ubuntu onto the second HD in a currently unoccupied partion, will GRUB (which is sure to take over the booting process, from past experience) still leave me with the 3 choices I have now (assuming I do not select the Ubuntu prompt). I wwould hate to lose the ability to get into the 3 Win systems !

Aug 14, 2009I'm not sure which section of the forum to post this. For some reason in Windows 7 RC1 (build 7100) I don't have the option to create a new folder in the root of one mapped domain network drive. What's weird is that with all of my other network drives I can, and I can make new folders in subfolders of the drive I'm having problems with. I just can't in the root of that one drive. The account I'm logged in with does have full control of the folder the drive maps to. I've checked with another member on our domain that is running the same RC1 and he doesn't have this problem.
