View 2 Replies View RelatedInstalling Fedora On Windows Virtual PC?
Oct 24, 2011A while ago, I installed Fedora 13 on my Windows Virtual PC with the help of an online guide that I cannot seem to find anymore.So, it DOES work, despite a few different threads out there trying to convince you that VirtualBox in the way to go.Now I'm trying to install Fedora 15, the current version. I'm sure Fedora 16 will be out in a couple of weeks, but I don't think that will make a difference.I did find this link, but it isn't the same. The old one I speak of had a setup guide in it and also showed you how to install a few applications so that Fedora Linux is a pleasant Operating System to work in. This one only shows a setup guide for the basic OS and I believe how to get your network working.When I followed this guide, I saw a blueish screen with a 10 second count-down, indicating that Linux was booting up. I had to readjust my settings a bit (RAM, specifically), as Windows Virtual PC gave me a notification that I was low on system resources. I at first put at at 3GB, then lowered it to 1.25 GB of RAM. My system has 4 GB. Throughout my installation attempt, I was watching my computer's Resource Monitor. The RAM was never maxed out, and CPU usage is not an issue at all.Could the problem be that I'm downloading the wrong file? I remember the old link I used mentioned something about Fedora Live. The name of this file I'm using is Fedora-15-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso. That obviously seems like a Live file, to me. Only difference, is, I'm using the 64-bit version, as opposed to the 32-bit version because I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

Oct 22, 2009I have installed on a second partition of my first hard disk seven (in a first partition I have vista). The first start of 7 goes well and I can see the desktop without any problem. Then I restart my pc to change the boot priority and set the hard disk as default. Then I restart again and I see the vista boot manager that ask me to select the os to start. When I select 7 I get an error that say:
FILE windowssystem32winload.exe
Status: 0xc0000428
info: windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.
(I think that is the english version of my error, the code match)
I try to repair the windows starup with the wizard on 7's dvd but it doesn't work. I unistall, reburn, reinstall 7 but the result was the same.
If I open (when I running vista) the property of winload in 7's directory I see that the digital signature of the item doesn't match.
Win7 + Vista X64 Dualboot Inst.error
Apr 9, 2009I´am using Windows 7 X64 b7057 primary on C: (second partition D: for data). I tried to intall Vista 64bit for dualboot, but after GUI of installing Vista finished and FIRST restarted an error black screen appeared after dual b.
selection, when I select Vista:
failed to start
windowssystem32winload.exe
status: 0xc000000d
And nothing helped /tried to repair from Vista DVD/.
I installed Vista to a partition created on the same HDD as Windows 7 as a "logical"
(it shows Windows 7) with 33GB free space /I think it should be enough/.
So the intaller of Vista didn´t finished installing Vista. Any idea how to fix it?
I read some articles about EasyBCD,etc but I´am not shure if my problem can be fixed with there utils. Can I install WinVista to a "logical" partiotion? /win 7 is on "primary"/
Fedora 15 Installation Won't Boot In A USB Flashdrive
Jun 24, 2011I'm thinking of dual booting Windows 7 with Fedora 15. I had the installer of Fedora 15 in my freshly reformatted USB flashdrive and used LiveUSB Creator to convert Fedora 15's ISO to a bootable installer in my USB flashdrive. I also had already set the BIOS to boot first the removable media followed by the DVD drive. The trouble is, the Fedora 15 won't boot after resetting the PC. How do I make the USB Flashdrive boot up the installer for this OS?

Nov 5, 2009I have Windows 7 Ultimate OEM installed on my Seagate 160GB hard drive. I want to install my Windows XP Pro operating system. (DUAL BOOT of Course) I followed your instructions to the letter. Once all the files have been copied and it reboots before the installation starts, I get an Error saying to click CTRL ALT and Delete to reboot. I can't get past that point to install Win XP Pro. The only option is to click onto any key to boot to the CD/DVD. I have my cmos set to boot from the CD/DVD. It won't start the extraction and installation sequence to get Windows XP Installed. I have to do a recovery to get back into Win 7 afterwards and set everything back to the settings before I tried to get Win XP to boot by making a dual partition in Win 7 and install on its own partition. This is ODD. I even used a brand new Win XP Pro OEM operating disk and two other Win XP operating disks, so I know it's isn't the software.

Oct 27, 2012So I bought a Win7 PC during the promotion period where I have the option to upgrade to Windows 8 for $15. I am wondering if I could do the upgrade as a separate operating system on the same computer? Meaning that I would have Win7 and Win8 on the same PC in case something goes wrong on Win8.
I was thinking I could back up my Win7 first, install Win8 on one SSD and then restore Win7 on another SSD.
Windows 7 And Linux Fedora Dual Boot With Dual Drives?
Feb 4, 2011dual booting windows 7 home premium x64 with linux fedora 14 on dual independantly dedicated drives. i am a college student with moderate computer (windows) knowledge but am doing software development and would like to play around with some linux for a class. i have no prior experience with linux and have minimal knowledge of operation. i am currently running windows 7 and would like to keep it as my primary os. i do not wish to share media files across drives or os's, windows does that just fine as is and i dont want to get into a third drive. my current drive is a 1tb wd black caviar hdd. it is also currently 2/3rds full and the desktop is about 6 months old so i would rather not partition the drive for a dual boot. i would think that there are some other advantages for the os's operating independantly off their own drives other than if one hdd dies i should still have the other with its os still ok. i have read some topics about RAID configs with dual boot setups with dual drives like this but am not very familiar with RAID. is there a RAID config that would be beneficial in this situation? i currently do not have a RAID card. my tower internals are not very accessible and i dont like the idea of disconnecting drives depending on which os i want to operate.

Migrate Windows.old After Changing From Windows 7 Ultimate To Windows 7 Home?
Jan 25, 2012I installed Win 7 Ultimate onto my brothers Win 7 Home Edn laptop. I didn't realise at first and he has done quite a bit of work on it since the installation, on iTunes and the like. I only noticed the error when trying to activate windows and, of course, as the laptop is Home Edn, and I used an Ultimate disc it didn't take the key on the laptop. So I have now installed Home edition and have the Windows.old folder present. I basically need to put all the programs and file/folders etc into the new OS.

View 6 Replies View RelatedTroubles Transferring Windows Mail Vista To Windows 7 Windows Live Mail 2011
Apr 22, 2011MS and their mail systems are giving me grief. I have a Vista 32 PC using "Windows Mail" and want to transfer email folders (lots) and messages to Windows 7 using Windows Live Mail 2011.Windows Mail was a replacement for Outlook express on Vista.Windows Live Mail 2011 is a replacement for Windows Mail on Windows 7.I tried a couple of things.
1) Basic Export and ImportI exported relavent files: Account info, Contacts and all the messages to a folder (in Windows Mail format) on old computer and used the old "Addias" transfer - copied folder to stick and RAN it over to the new computer.
- Imported (using the Windows Mail format) the Account info successfully,
- imported the Contact info successfully.
- Import Messages - appeared at first to be successful
Issue: Message folders appear to be renamed and some folder names have been truncated, not all folders appear to be there. (Looks like "long Name folders greater that 8 characters get truncated)
2) Tried the "Easy transfer mechanism (Vista and Win7 transfer utility) - but couldn't get the new computer to see the Vista even though I could see them on the network. I thought that this would transfer the folder names correctly.I'm about to try a time consuming effort of coping folder by folder (export/Import)What I am more concerned about is that the individaul messages may have the same issue Ie not all coming accross and subject names being lost. Looking for alternative or third party transfer solutions?
Windows 7 Hangs On "Starting Windows" After Finished Expanding Windows
Jul 17, 2012I just bought myself some new parts for a new computer I built. After buying the parts and assembling it I tried to install windows 7, keeping in mind that this computer has no previous os installed in it, completely blank. I somehow managed to get to safe mode and install till the part where it says expanding windows files completing that step fully and rebooting to continue the installation, I have no idea why but after when it restarts, it freezes at the "starting windows" screen with the four orb animation. It should just go to the next screen with the blue wallpaper asking me for the language I would like and what not. But it just gets stuck there and doesn't move on, I tried
rebooting
removing as much devices I had plugged into the motherboard
removing everything but the mouse and key board
removing the graphics card
removing one of the two sticks of ram
[code]...
I have tried everything I know of and I don't think I need to update my bios because no one else has encountered this problem. Swell I am not very good with computers I am very new to this so...I also heard about updating drivers , but don't u need to actually be able to login to your computer to download and install them? I can't even log in, I wait for the windows logo to pass but it never does please help Tom Hardware community.
Add Another Windows 7 To Windows XP/ Windows 7 Dual Boot?
Apr 8, 2011I bought a new computer that came with a Win 7 HP license, however I already have a copy of Win 7 Ultimate on another smaller HDD that dual boots with XP.I have copied the Win 7 HP partition to the smaller HDD that has dual boot Win 7 Ultimate / XP using EASUS Partition Manager. Then I disk copied the smaller HDD to the new larger HDD thus wiping the original contents of the HDD.So far so good, the larger HDD now has C: Windows 7 Ultimate; D: XP Pro; E: Windows 7 HP. Of course the boot manager only has entries for the C: and D: partition.I think I can use bcdedit to add another entry but I am a little confused about how to do this, I've seen examples for Win 7 and XP or Vista but not for 2 copies of Win 7. Can anyone tell me what bcdedit commands I need to run? For instance I could run "bcdedit /create {} /d "Win 7 HP" but I don't know what to put inside of the {}, I think I need a new UUID but I don't know if I should be running "bcdedit /createstore" first or something else.

Windows 7 Toshiba A505 Windows Boot Manager And Recovery Media Failed
Feb 20, 2012I have a Toshiba Satellite A505-S69803; serial number Y9340538Q, with Windows 7, 500Gb HDD at 5400rpm and 4Gb RAM... I think that's all correct.Anyway, long story short, I got a b!tch of a virus, which apparantly was doing all sorts of nasty things to the explorer.exe file in particular. So I backed up all my important stuff: files, Uni work, writings, music and photos etc onto an external hard-drive and went about restoring the laptop to out-of-box factory settings by making the Windows 7 Recovery Media Discs. But when I try to use the discs I get told after about 30 minutes The Toshiba Recovery Wizard "Can't read from the source file or disk: PREINST5.SW5" with options to: Try Again (The same thing happens), or Skip (Same message again), or Cancel (in which case I'm back where I started).After the Recovery Wizard failed I chose the option to erase the hard-drive; it then appeared that when I turn on the laptop as normal I was told <Error>: F3-F200-0002 and the Recovery Media Disks still refuse to work.Now, if I turn on the laptop as normal a message telling me to insert the installation disc, choose language and click "repair your computer". So I put in the recovery disc and get the same message.
Toshiba can't help as my A505 is an American model in Britain and out of warranty anyway. Europe Toshiba HQ don't supply the recovery media for the A505 and the American based Toshiba aren't allowed to send the Recovery Media to Europe; so apparantly I get no help from them. And Microsoft can't help me because my laptop was purchased with everything pre-installed so the codes associated with my Windows and Office are comletely irrelevent.I have been told that I need to purchase a compeltely new hard-drive and purchase Windows 7 brand new to get my laptop back up and running. Purchasing a new OS isn't too much of an issue because I can just get XP for a tenner, validate it with Microsoft and then get a student upgrade onto W7-Ult for �60. So �70 in total, I'm fine with that. But do I need a new hard-drive too? Or can I rescue everything I already had?
