I have downloaded Windows 7 Build 7229. But i have no dvds since i wasted 10 getting the rc to work. I know there is a way you can install windows 7 through upgrade but can i install it to a dual-boot if it stays on my hard drive. So i have two partitions. If i keep the download on one can i...

Hi, I have a ThinkPad T400 and I'm dual-booting Vista and 7 (but I only really use 7). In 7, when you press Windows+P, you get 4 display options: Computer Only, Duplicate, Extend, and Projector Only. Since I just have one laptop screen, I obviously want Computer Only. But every time I close...

Okay, so here's what I've done: Partitioned my drive and installed Windows 7 RC1, so I can dual-boot with XP. Now, when I first let it go into Win7 by default, it booted fine - I had the pretty screen with the fish and everything. Then I decided to see how my XP boot would go. I realized I had...

Windows 7RC1 I'm dual-booting XP and Win 7RC1. Each is on a separate hhd. In Win 7, drive "C" is the Win 7 drive and "D" is the XP drive. "G" is an usb external drive. I wanted to write my backups to "D", but "D" doesn't show up in the backup utility. It shows up in My Computer. Only "C"...

Whether you want to set up a dual-boot system, you're ready to migrate all the way to Link Removed RC from XP, or something in between, here's what you need to know. You'll need to have already downloaded Windows 7 RC before you proceed with any of those methods, but now...

I just got Windows 7 and I am dual-booting. On XP, I have set 1600x900 as the screen resolution. However, in Windows 7, I have to pick between two resolutions, both of them I don't like at all. Please help. Thanks

I have Windows 7 dual-booted on my machine along with Windows XP. Everything was working fine until today, where I booted Windows 7, but for some reason the mouse would not move. The mouse works on everything on the same machine BUT Windows 7. I tried booting in every advanced option, but...

Hello all! This is my first post here so stay with me. My problem:I originally installed a fresh Windows 7 Build 7000. I found a couple programs incompatible with 7 ( namely Utorrent, Disk overloaded message, but I digress...) so I decided to try to duall boot XP on it as well. I partitioned a...

I had my computer set to dual-boot Windows XP and Windows Vista RC1. I removed Vista RC1 but the Windows Boot Manager still appears upon boot up. How can I remove the boot manager so the computer will boot directly into Windows XP? If anyone can help, thanks much!

The title says it all! I just upgraded from WinXP to Vista Premium UPGRADE. I thought I told the software to do a fresh install rather than saving any former settings. Perhaps I made the wrong selection. In any event, I'm tired of having to boot up the computer and select VISTA or FORMER...
