Multi Partition Boot / Multi OS Install
Jan 11, 2006Recently I reinstalled the OS on my computer. It was shipped with Windows XP HE SP2, but I formatted and put Win98 onto the system. Needless to say, it froze up at the Windows splash screen. So, I uninstalled it and put XP back on. My question here is, is there any possible way to put Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows XP all on one hard drive, and it work? I know how to partition the hard drive accordingly for the deed, it's getting the computer to actually run 95, 98, and 3.1. I'm cheating fate here, since I know 3.1 probably won't run on my 32-bit structure system, but it's worth a try. My system is a Dell Dimension 4700 with 3.0 gHz CPU, 256 mb of RAM, and an nVidia 64 mb video card.

Jan 17, 2007Windows XP failing to recognize new CDs placed in the cd-rom drive. On a fresh boot, I can put a CD in my drive and it recognizes it fine, but when I take that disc out and put a different disc in the same drive, it keeps showing the name and contents of the old disc. I have to reboot to be able to access a different CD.I'm trying to install a game, and I can't because of this. I have two drives, and they both do the same thing. The drives are:

Moving A Windows Install To Another Disc
Oct 24, 2006I just purchased a 74G western digital raptor drive and want to use it as my system drive, however, I have the PERFECT installation of windows (XP Pro) on my current system drive (a mostly full 320G sata drive).Make the raptor be bootable/system drive, basically move the install of windows (documents and setting folder, windows folder, program files folder, MBR/all system files and folders) to the new raptor and then re-assign the raptor to be drive C (so all references would be correct).The windows install I currently have is ancient but perfect, and I don�t have the discs for many of the programs on the system (TONS OF THEM). So I really want to avoid re-installing windows (the obvious way to do this). I also can�t use Norton ghost because the old drive has 280G of stuff and the raptor is only 74G.Is this possible? If so are there and tools/hints that could help me?

Aug 14, 2007I have recently bought a new computer that came with windows vista as you may have guessed the experience mostly has not been a good one, with lots of compatibility issues. I want to dual boot Vista with XP but the problem is I have heard windows XP does not have the SATA drivers on the disc. I understand that you just need to insert a floppy and push F6 I think but the problem is I don't have a floppy drive! Is there anyway I can slipstream the drivers into the install or something?

Sep 10, 2005Running XP Pro with 1 DVD ROM and 1 CDR drive. Whenever I remove media from a drive and replace with a new disc, windows only displays the old data and doesn't recognize the new disc. Especially frustrating during a multi disc install. Sometimes it will refresh if I eject the disc through a menu vs. drive button. Other times this doesn't work. This happens with both drives, so it doesn't seem to be hardware issue.

Jul 17, 2008i was currently running windows as my only operating system (working perfectly) and decided to try out ubuntu. afterin installing it i decided i didn't like it so i put in my windows CD and deleated the 1st 3 partitions and combined them into a 49gb partition, formatted it and installed windows on it.this worked fine, it formatted correcly and then started copying the setup files onto partition 1, but then after it restarted it wudnt see that windows was there and wudn't continue the installation. it would just go back to asking if i wanted to install from the CD again. i was installing windows xp (no service pack) but i have done this many times with this CD and hasnt stuffed up yet.

View 1 Replies View RelatedCan't Install Windows On SATA Hard Drive
Mar 11, 2009My old IDE hard drive went out on me so i went and bought a 500g WD SATA hard drive. When I put the windows installation disk in it does not recognize my SATA hard drive. after looking into it online, i found that alot of people had this issue. I read a few suggestions and tried them, (using the F6 function during install with drivers on a floppy disk, and streamlining drivers intot he windows installation disk itself using NLite), and none of them seem to work. I then used my friends old IDE hard drive, installed windows, and used a program to make a disk image of my hard drive and transfer it to my SATA drive. This didnt work either. I havn't fiddled with drive letters, (you know c: and e: and so on) i am thinking this may help but I am not sure. It is not a boot order issue i know how to do all that and nothing works. I am looking for a way to get Windows XP onto my SATA drive. (yes my mother board detects my SATA drive, and it is showing up in windows i just cant seem to get windows on it.)
I would prefer to just copy it from my IDE drive since i have already installed all the updates so if this is possible please let me know.If you know what kind of boot disk i need for windows xp installation to recognize my sata drive during installation that would be a big help too. (i have tried sata controller drivers for my motherboard, i tried using the software that came with my hard drive, and this too didn't work.)

Jun 25, 2008I have a five year old dell dimensions 8200. Three years ago, I added a 250 gig. D-drive. My computer has been so slow that I wanted to reinstall windows. So, erased and formatted my D-drive and put windows on it. I then added a program called "Wipe Drive" in order to erase my C-drive. (I was thinking to use my d-drive mainly and c-drive for backup). I closed my computer, then when I went to reboot, i first got the message "ntldr is missing press control alt delete." So, I did this. I soon did not get the ntlrd message and got a message saying failure to boot and press contol, alt, delete to restart. I tried to instal windows again and it did not boot. I did the f2 thing and made sure my cd-rom was first. I did the f12 thing and tried to open cd. Nothing has worked to help boot or get to the blue screen that lets me choose drive.I think I erased important start up info on my c-drive.

Bios Recognizes Hard Drive But Windows Wont Install
Nov 4, 2009I'm running a pc with a 975xbx board and an e6600 that has worked fine for 2 years plus. A couple months ago i replaced my computer case, power supply, and got some new storage hard drives, but my RAM, mobo, cpu, and optical drives stayed the same.I was running windows xp fine for this whole time....and then a couple days ago as I was surfing the web, the computer just shut off spontaneously. no warning, no nothing, just black screen and the computer was off.Now, when I start up, I'll get to the windows startup logo before I get a 0x00000007e blue screen crash.In BIOS, my hard drives, RAM, etc are picked up fine. Just for kicks i moved some ram around, dropped to one stick, unhooked the optical drives, yet the problem persists.Now, if i throw in my windows xp install CD and try to repair or just reinstall, it doesn't find the drive at all. but the bios does.
If i take a new formatted hard drive and insert it, the xp install again doesnt find it.I have 2 raid controllers on my intel board, and the floppy disks for both, but when I boot the raid controller screens pop up fine and recognize drives prior to the windows logo. If i throw my install CD in, however, and hit F6 to go to the raid controller install, the xp cd can't seem to read my floppy disks, as if they aren't even there. but the floppy drive light is on, powered, and the cables are plugged in.This is just really confusing, as if my computer just doesn't read anything but the CD drive.I'm at a loss. I'm willing to just do a clean install of windows on a formatted hard drive, but the windows CD install program won't detect the new drive (it is low-level formatted).I'm using XP professional and it's a full install CD, not just recovery.
