Hi, I am trying to install Windows 7 RTM from MSDN subscription on my new PC, it is Intel Q6600 2 GB RAM 200 GB SATA HD (2x100GB partitions) Windows XP has been running like a champ on the partition 0 for a long time, but when I try and install Windows 7 on patrition 1 (dualboot from same...

I'm a bit concerned about my installation options at this point. I have one 500GB HD, that I had partitioned to two drives with GParted. I was then able to install the Win 7 RC and dual boot both versions just fine. Now, I received my Windows 7 Upgrade copy and wondering if I can still...

Well Well, Let me explain my experience of Disk Management in Windows 7! To start off I ordered a brand new hard drive, installed it into my pc. I booted up win7 "at the time with the current hard drive I was using for win7" , at first windows 7 recognized the new drive but asking for "Win7" to...

I was using GParted to grow a partition and about 5% into the grow process I canceled it, because it was taking an amazingly long time to do 30+ estimated hours for a 140gb grow...seemed ridiculous to me. Anyways after I restarted chkdsk ran and went through the HD and finished and then windows...

Ok.. So here's the mess I made that I need help with. 1. I have 2HD's with one hosting Windows 7 x86 and the other hosting a Windows 7 x64 2. I finally got x64 up and usable for everything I needed so wanted to get rid of the x586 partition 3. I deleted the x586 partition using GParted 4...

Last night I was trying to dual boot windows 7 on a computer with ubuntu already installed. My computer has been running fine for weeks with ubuntu, so I booted up with gparted and resized my partitions. I booted from the Win7 disk and immediately got this error "video mode cannot be displayed"...

Hello, I recently used GParted to shrink my XP and Win7 partitions so that I could create a third partition. Since I had some extra space inbetween the shrunk partitions, I moved the Win7 partition as close as I could to the XP partition. I basically moved my partition over a little bit...

I had Xp on one hard drive. Used Gparted to make a partition. Left the XP partition active and installed 7 on the second partition. I could then only get XP to load. If I booted with the 7 install cd, then it would load. So I tried the repair utility on its cd and that did nothing. I eventually...

After using GPart to set up two partitions and installing Windows 7 RC1 everything works well in 7. However, when I attempt boot to XP I get the following error, "(windows root)\system32\hall.dll is missing or corrupt." and the system halts. My research indicates this may be a problem with the...

Recently shrunk my Vista partition on my laptop to created a new partition for a Win 7 install. All is working great, able to choose either partition on start up with no problems. Now here's where my problems lie: I want to get rid of my original Vista partition (C:) and add the free space...

I am currently running XP as my main OS on one partition but I also have Windows 7 Beta on a separate partition on the same hard drive. Right now I cannot currently access Windows 7 when booting up, I have no clue why that is as I used to be able to do that. What I want to do is delete the...

I've ahd Windows XP installed for a long time but I wanted to give a try to Windows 7 so I did. I really like it so I decided to completely remove my XP beacause I wasn't using it anymore. I used Gparted to delete my XP partition and move/enlarge my Windows 7 one. Everything went fine this...

I had Windows 7 installed and operating perfectly for over a month but I accidentally deleted it. I have a Dell XPS 630i with 4Gig ram which I purchase less than 6 month ago. I have three hard drives. XP Pro is on disk 1, Vista is on disk 2 and I have Microsoft Server 2008 on disk 3 partition...

Hello, This is my first time posting, so please be patient with me. The issue: I partitioned my drive and installed Windows 7. I've been growing increasingly confident of W7 and decided to start fazing out Windows XP. Using GParted Live I successfully shrunk the XP partition and increased the...

Yesterday I was able to install windows 7 with moderate success. Today I went to adjust the size of the partition with gpart in order to have more space. After doing this, windows 7 refused to start up and kept giving an error suggesting recovery. After attempting, this the status bar repeatably...

Hi, I have succesfully installed Windows 7 a couple of times on my HP zd8000 laptop and everything runs very smooth except the fact that I always loose the ability to dual boot with XP, I have a 100GB hard drive which is formatted in two partitions using gParted. The frist partition holds XP...

I am trying to boot GParted Live CD from the .iso file I burned to a cd. I have went in and changed my BIOS settings and it still won't boot to the cd, so therefore I can't figure out a way to partition my hard drive. I do have two hard drives though, the main C drive I wanted to install Windows...

First off: I have ONE hard drive to work with here (not counting the fact that I'm on another computer to type this up) I can partition/format that hard drive ANY way required. The hard drive is currently partitioned as such: 40~GB NTFS (partition 1, empty), 7GB NTFS (.isos contained here)...

Hello, I'm curious how i can delete Windows 7? Is it just fixmbr in XP recovery console and then delete the partition with the use of gparted or something?
