dual-boot

Would it be possible to compile a list of steps for dual-booting into Win8 and Win7? It would be amazing if the approach could be tailored for those of us who installed the Preview editions in dual-boot. :) Someone? Anyone? There might be a batch of cookies in it for you. ;) Laura...

I have Win8 RC on my system, set up as dual boot with Win7 Home Preview. I want to keep the dual-boot and the 2013 apps I have installed. I've been reading for hours but can't seem to find a definitive answer - will the Win8 retail copy ($95) install over the RC, without wiping everything...

While attempting to set up for dual-booting with Linux, I used a free program that apparently messed up my Win7 MBR or structure of my sectors. I panicked because I couldn't see anything on the disk after that. I concluded in despair that everything was lost so I got a Win7 disk from a friend...

I want to setup my laptop with VMWare or something similiar so that windows is running virtually, and every boot-up i am running a "fresh" windows install (sorta how most colleges have their systems setup), as well as have the option of booting into Ubuntu or Fedora as a dual boot option. BUT...

I dual-boot Windows 7 & 8. Now, I could switch to 7 & verify this but, I think my recollection is correct. In 7, after getting the Windows Experience Index, one could View Details but, I recall it being about what the number means & how it was derived. We would often use Everest (or the like)...

LinuxBSDos.com: One tool that has seen very little or no change over the past several releases in Ubuntu Desktop is the installation program. So it is somewhat surprising that some users are having problems dual-booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 using a tutorial written for Ubuntu 11.04. Link...

I ran the DP from mid-September 2011. Messed w/ it sporadically. Since 29/2/12 have been solidly w/ Windows8. To little time to learn it, personalise it. I'm running dual-boot w/ Windows7, both x64. The Start is of little concern... I boot to the Desktop... have customized start but visit it...

Let's say W7 & W8. Let's say there's a Sys drive & a Data drive & maybe others, too. When > Computer in the W7, see all the drives. AND... when in W8 > Computer AND still see & can access ALL the same drives... nice bonus to dual-boot, can get @ & use everything you already have from BOTH OSs...

Put a CPU gauge, like the All CPU Meter (gadget) not, the silly thing that is in the default Gadgets offering on the Desktop in a dual-boot set up w/ 7 & 8. Go back & forth between the 2 OSs, do the same sort of tasks & activities on each. You will see the resource usage is significantly &...

Allow me to preface this w/ WOW! (Now dual-boot W8 & W7, both x64) Installed in about 15 mins. & takes up 14.4Gig; couple mins. more to put in personal info, personalize things an initial bit & a few secs. (for it) to find Devices (camera, printer, etc.). Cool differences & greater...

FYI: This is due to folks asking about changing things in a duel-boot scenario. An OS was installed then, another, hence the dual-boot... we'll call them 1 & 2. NOW, they want OS2 to exist and boot w/out OS1 The following is a way to do it: I had a dual-boot, Windows 7 x86 & x64. x86 was the...

This is a strange issue that is occurring with my IPL (Initial Program Load) procedure. And, I do mean on 'THE INITIAL ATTEMPT'. It occurs on either of the dual-boot choices I make. The scenario is as follows: Hit Start button and watch as the process goes through the initial phases of the...
