ok i finially got my 1tb hd, got home installed windows 7 on it, everythign goes well untill i restart the comp, it let me choose from windows 7 or vista and i chose 7 cause i needed to finish updating the stuff, well it brings me to that screen, Start windows normally for repair mode or w/e its called, well i chose repair it did it etc, installed some drivers and updates and i had to restart again, AND IT DID IT AGAIN, now im on vista typing this xD
any help? am i doing it wrong or what?
-
try formatting the partion with windows 7 then reinstalling it
-
I think that when u hit repair it messed with the Master boot record, im not too familiar with Dual booting on 1 HDD, I never really saw a point since i always had so many computers, but i relly think it messed with the booting part of the partition
-
You didn't dual boot, that's why.
You have to have vista installed on the first hdd, then install W7 on the second hdd.
Continue using W7 to finish the install.
Pop in the vista disk and fix the MBR using it. The repair option.
Boot into vista and download EasyBCD.
Add a new Windows option to the MBR and set it to (hd1,0). I don't remember how it asks you to add it, but that will be your W7 hdd address if you need it.
Bam...you're dual booting.
-
I knew thats how u did it, just not on the same HDD, its such a pain.
-
yea my vista is on my 80gb and my windows 7 is on my 1tb,
and kicks i didnt understand a word your sayin lol, im new to this computer stuff
well i tryed reformatting and re-installing and that didnt work either :boxed:
-
I made it as simple as possible...
-
try to get on msn whenever you can,
-
Nah I was out all day. Let's see if I can make it simpler...
Format the 1tb hdd clean.
Shut down the computer.
Put in your windows 7 disk.
Install windows 7 onto the 1tb hdd.
Restart and finish the installation.
Shut it down and put in the vista disk.
Boot into the vista disk.
Choose the repair option and do that.
Restart into vista like always. It shouldn't ask which to boot into.
Download a program called EasyBCD. http://neosmart.net/downloads/software/EasyBCD/EasyBCD%201.7.2.exe (http://neosmart.net/downloads/software/EasyBCD/EasyBCD%201.7.2.exe)
Open it up and go to Manage Bootloader.
Make sure 'reinstall the vista bootloader' is checked off and hit Write MBR. Back up your settings.
Go to add/remove entries.
Go down and click windows and select vista/longhorn and choose the drive letter of Windows 7.
Click add and then hit save.
Go to change settings.
Change the name of the Vista/Longhorn entry to Windows 7 and hit save.
You're done.

-
now time to install all my programs :\ gonna take a while,
oh kicks do you know any program that can copy my whole 80gb hdd and trasnfer the files to my 1tb? thanks
ok i just noticed somin, you know the bottom right hand corner? if it says evauluation copy thats the release canidate right? :boxed:
well the key that that dude cracked doesnt work anymore and i had to find another one somedude listed on piratebay so i just used that and it works so yea, it just says Evluation copy. Build 7100
-
Build 7100 was the Release Candidate if I remember correctly.
It's not the full version that's being sent to manufacturers, though. I think. I'm not sure.
You can use Norton Ghost (I think that's what it was called) to copy a full HDD over to a new one.
-
Can you not just go to My Computer and copy all the stuff from one HD to the other?...
And build 7100 is a RC. It has everything the final has its just that it will stop working in august 2010. (Unless you hack it)
-
Can you not just go to My Computer and copy all the stuff from one HD to the other?...
nope. Not programs.
-
ill try the ghost program,
:( i didnt want the rc, i thought i had some cracked keys

Post Merge: August 02, 2009, 03:06:42 PM
well i got norton ghost, im sorry but i cant figure out how to use it for :censored: :\
-
So, you didn't ask HOW, you just asked what could be used XD
Oh and RC is the best you can get right now, stop complaining.
-
I just re installed all my apps. Reg keys and stuff can be a pain, x.x
-
yea rc is the best right now but there was a cracked key on the internet now it doesnt work so yea, oh and does anybody know why window 7 makes me lag in games?
-
drivers?
-
so i should update my graphix card drivers?
-
i would assume it is ur grafix drivers
-
well im not gonna be running 7 anymore... ima tripple boot xD
xp, vista home premium, and vista ultimate
-
Why the hell would you triple boot using 2 different versions of Vista?
-
i dont even know what to say to ur statement there tmandt. I wouldve seriusly stuck with just one OS, but i guess its up to you..... Ul regret it later by choosing so many random O/S's
-
well me and slim hacker were talkin about vista recovery cd and he just said get ultimate so i did, i just wanted to see how it is and i like it ahah
i might take out home premium tho so i can just boot with vista ultimate and xp pro. good?
-
That's retarded. You will NEVER use both of them.
-
well i installed xp, booted up fast and shut down fast :D but the internet was :censored: and it was giving me problems, im not gonna dual boot anymore lol ima just move all my stuff from home premium over to ultimate and use my 80gb as backup, well xp gave me some more problems aslo, it :censored:ed up my flashdrive i forgot to take it out
now i cant access all my stuff, pics, programs etc, and i really need that stuff
can anyone help me? :(
-
Can't be helped. You corrupted your flash drive.
That means the filesystem is corrupted. You're not gonna be able to retrieve it.
Try using linux to access it. If not, research if there's any programs to do it (I doubt it but try). If not, you're screwed basically.
-
i dont get how i corrupted it tho.
-
You can't unplug it while it's in use.
-
no i didnt unplug it at all, it was in the whole time untill like a coupel hrs ago when i was tryin to get some pics from the drive
-
Well something happened. Either way, it sounds like it's corrupt.
-
I used PCLinuxOS 2007 to retrieve files of a dead flashdrive, it took some time to screw around with but i finally got the stuff necessary off of it using that.
-
dont tell me thats another os...
lol if you can help i would greatly appreciate it :)

-
No...it's a Live CD...
-
umm yea idk wat that is... yes i know im a noob
-
It means put it in your computer and you boot into it and run it. >_>
-
so basically i dont reboot the pc or anything? i just write the image to a disk and just run it? after its done its just an app and i just run that?
-
No did you even read what I said?
You BOOT INTO THE DISK and it runs the OS. Just google it if you can't understand.
-
well nvm i found a program, it found only part of the files i need
