I was led to believe I could add it with this command:. However I am getting a "Failure when attempting to copy boot files" error. I am a little worried about experimenting as I could destroy my boot block on my windows 7 drive. I guess worse case I can change the boot order in the BIOS but it would be nice to do that with a boot menu.
Some of the windows 10 boot tutorials seemed to lead me to believe this option would be detected but I am gathering it would have happened if it was done on all the same drive. I seen a few different ways to accomplish this. If you have two existing drives that each will boot up their version of the OS, what boots up by default with them in the system at the same time?
That'll help you figure out the bootloader being used. I don't use this tool personally but have seen others leverage it. I did see suggestions for that product but I was trying to get a Microsoft solution. Windows 10 is my primary OS btw. I saw that Windows 10 had a nice UI for the boot screen and would love to get that to work. Would you be capable of installing Rollback Rx Home on both drives or using Aomei Backupper to create system backups with no conflicts?
Can you set the boot to seal off certain partitions or hard drives so there should be no conflicts? Also, can I use the same serial key I used for my Windows 10 for the Windows 7? It was a Windows 7 key originally. One last thing, I also want to install Ubuntu on the same hard drive that will have Windows 7 in the future.
A dual boot is a computer system in which two operating systems are installed on the same hard drive, allowing either operating system to be loaded and given control. Reconnected Vista disk, and of course no sign of it on bootup. Went back to Change settings but it was showing C. Rebooted, now cannot see Win7 at all. Boots straight to Vista. Booted to Vista, did the same as above Win7 was showing correctly as E now with Vista as C Dont forget this is now in Vista so those letters are correct.
Rebooted, still no Win 7. Can I fix the bootloader to dual boot Win 7 or will I need to simply plug Vista drive in, make Vista drive primary boot in BIOS, then reinstall Win 7 to secondary boot drive whereby it will alter the Vista Bootloader and give the dual boot? Bearing in mind that it only took minutes to fully install Win7 I dont want to spend 2 hours faffing around if a 30 minute reinstall will cure.
I dislike reinstalls as a solution usually mainly because people normally have 20 gig of programs installed and configured etc He doesnt want to scrap Vista just yet as he has apps installed that he cannot find the install disks for at the moment.
I personally don't have experience with Vista. Look at this thread - someone dual booting with Vista. Regards - Charles. Log in or Sign up to hide this advert. Hi Silver, if you mean changing the boot order in the bios then yes your idea will work with the latest beta 2 of Vista. I tested doing just that at the weekend, because my usual method of emulating the bios change with a bootmanager would not work.
XP never did but Vista uses a completely new method of booting and you never know. McTavish ,. Greayt - many thanks for the replies.
Glad to see I am thinking on the right lines Now I simply need to get on a Vista beta. Arie ,. Hi, 1st post. I am interesting in dual booting as well.
