Dual boot kali linux with windows 8

i have ideapad y510p and i want to dual boot kali linux with windows 8 
i want a full guide to do it please !!help!!!

Hello,
if you got problems with the kernel, you can try backbox-linux. The kernel there is newer. It is based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Have a nice day

  • Can you dual-boot arch linux with Windows 7 ?

    Here is my current dilemna; I have Windows still on my netbook for the only reason that I use it for gaming .
    Other than that I have Linux Mint dual-booted with it .
    Now my question is, can I just instruct arch to install into the already existing linux partition, formatting it and making it it's home, or do I have to delete it, thus rendering my computer inoperable until I successfully dualboot arch with it ? o_O
    Or should I take a different approach altogether, and triple boot my netbook with arch, mint, and windows, and then from there delete the mint partition and allocate the free space accordingly using easeus partition master (another reason I still have windows) ?
    Please help . D:
    PS. I HATE Windows but only kept it because apparently not everyone shares the Linux view of technology . >.>

    if youre happy with your partition layout u can just install arch ofc.
    while installing you will be prompted to select mount points and create filesystems ( you can skip the partition step )
    select your current / partition for, well, /
    and /home for.. /home.
    the installer will then create new filesystems there (formatting those partitions) and set mountpoints

  • Dual-Booting Arch Linux and Windows 7

    Hello,
    I am attempting to set up a dual-boot configuration with Windows 7 (installed first), and Arch Linux. When I went to install, I read in the documentation that the AIF doesn't support installing GRUB to a separate partition other than the MBR on the drive. I want to install GRUB separate from the Windows MBR so I can use Easy BCD to chainload the two bootloaders (i.e. installing GRUB on /dev/sda5 instead of /dev/sda). I went through the installation process and tried to install GRUB manually via the instructions given in the documentation. But when I went to boot Arch, I was greeted with the GRUB shell instead of the boot menu. What did I do wrong? And is there any easier way to install Arch this way given that I do not want to overwrite the Windows bootloader? I went ahead and wiped the Linux partitions on my drive, so I am going to do the install again once I have some suggestions.
    Thanks!

    To the original poster: 
    If you want to chainload both Windows and Arch Linux using your preferred boot manager, you'd have to create a separate 'boot' partition when installing Arch Linux.  When you are in the Arch installation, create a separate partition of about 500 MB, then create the root partition of whatever size you need, and then create swap partition if necessary.  So your HD would resemble something like this:  /dev/sda5=boot partition of 500 MB; /dev/sda6=root partition of ## MB/GB; and /dev/sda7=swap partition of (RAM * 2) GB.  Then continue with the Arch installation procedure until you get to the end where you are prompted to install a boot loader.  Choose GRUB, and install it to the 'boot' partition on /dev/sda5.  This will allow you to chainload Arch via Easy BCD.  What happens is Easy BCD will pass the message to GRUB on /dev/sda5, and GRUB will then load your Arch root system on /dev/sda6. 
    I hope this helps.  I support your choice in using Easy BCD to chainload Windows and Linux.  Software is, after all, about choice.  Furthermore, you've presented a good reason to use Easy BCD as the main boot loader, which is to save you from unnecessary tinkering with the GRUB shell or Live CDs and whatnot.  However, if you don't want to create the separate 'boot' partition, then you'll have no other choice but to use GRUB or syslinux on the MBR.
    Thanks. Yes...I followed the procedure just like you described. I figured that my problem was that I didn't create a separate /boot partition, so I reformatted the partitions I created and redid the install. However, I was not able to install GRUB in the AIF; I had to reboot into the Live CD and install GRUB to my boot partition manually. All is good now as I have a working dual-boot now. Arch Linux has been a sort of learning curve for me, but I have gained valuable knowledge and experience by using this distro.
    Yes. I didn't want to mess with GRUB or NTLDR. I know that reinstalling NTLDR is not that difficult, but I didn't want to mess with it at all. It just seemed easier to chainload GRUB to NTLDR using EasyBCD. I'm a sort of "distro-hopper" anyhow, and using this method allows me to cleanly remove any distro I install without having to mess with GRUB or reinstalling NTLDR.
    Thanks!
    Glad to hear!  Yes, Arch Linux is a wonderful distribution, and one of my favorites.  It's great for not-so-newbie beginners to learn from.  pacman is one of my favorite package managers, as there is always the latest stable software available in the Arch repos.  Glad everything worked out.  Have fun with Arch!

  • Dual Booting Ubuntu Linux and Windows on a RAID 1 setup

    Hi,
    I just bought a Lenovo W530 with Windows 7 and two 500GB hard drives in a RAID 1 setup, is there a way for me to install Linux with dual boot while maintaing my RAID 1 setup?
    Thanks. 

    Hi
    Welcome To Lenovo Community
    if you want both in a raid on two drives, there is no way simpler than using fakeraid.
    Windows simply has only the fakeraid as a software raid and can't be run from a linux software raid. An Ubuntu 10.10 install to fakeraid is relatively simple but should not be undertaken without some understanding of what a raid install looks like or behaves.
    As a starter, some simple rules have to be followed:
    1) Install Win 7 first
    2) If Win 7 occupies the whole raid drive, use Win 7 disk manager to shrink it to make room for Ubuntu.
    3) Use gparted on a live cd to place all your unallocated space for installing Ubuntu into an extended partition. This will insure that you will not likely exceed the 4 primary partition limit and thus bar an Ubuntu install.
    Once prepared as above you should be able to install Ubunto to the largest unallocated space, as long as the partitioner recognizes the raid (ie the win 7 partitions will show in gparted). You should plan to run the install from the live cd so that you have determined beforehand that 10.10 will run on your system.

  • Dual boot arch linux and windows

    I recently installed arch linux. However, I have a windows 7 installation on a separate hard drive (/dev/sdb), and it is not detected by grub. I have tried to use os-prober, and grub-mkconfig to generate my configuration file, but I think these programs are in grub2-common, and this conflicts with the package grub. When I do uninstall grub, and replace with grub2-common, I can generate the config file, but grub brings me to the grub prompt, and will not boot. Can I use grub-mkconfig without uninstalling grub, or do I have to create grub.cfg and edit it manually? Thank you in advance!

  • Dual booting Solaris 8 with Windows

    Hello!
    I am going to build a machine for running both Solaris 8 and 98 SE. I may put each OS on a separate hardrive or just put them on different partitions/slices. Firstly, is this possible? and secondly how? Do I have to edit the etc/bootrc script???

    When there will be a new boot camp version with Windows 8.1 support? I a floor of year can't already update Windows 8 on the iMac! ! !

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033 supports Windows 8.1 and can be used with that version. The Mid 2011 iMac is compatible with Windows 8, so you should not have any problem by installing Windows 8.

  • Tutorial - How to triple boot OSX, Linux and Windows 8.1 with a shared Data Partition without any third party Win / OSX softwares

    This is not a question, but rather a personal guide that has proved to be running successfully.
    I would like to thank numerous sources, including Christopher Murphy's suggestions at:
    Re: Repairing Boot Camp after creating new partition
    Before proceeding, there are certain concepts needs to know:
    Why Boot Camp does NOT allow further partitioning of drives after Windows has installed?
    Answer: Because the way Apple configures the Mac to be recognized as non UEFI capable system on Windows.
    Quote from Christopher Murphy based on the above line:
    However, Windows on Macs right now use CSM-BIOS mode in Mac firmware that presents BIOS to Windows rather than EFI. Windows thinks it's on a BIOS computer, and therefore mandates the use of MBR for boot disks, rather than GPT. So that's why we have this hybrid MBR+GPT approach on Mac with Windows on it. You inherit the limitations of MBR, which is four primary partitions.
    So what does it means?
    It means that OSX + EFI + Recovery HD + Boot Camp partition = 4 primary partitions and thus any attempt to modify the disk will render booting issues of either system.
    For more info on GPT (GUID Partition Table disks VS Master Boot Record or MBR in short, you may visit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn640535%28v=vs.85%29.a spx)
    So, how to overcome it?
    The general guideline is to install ALL GPT ready OS first then create a Data partition, before installing Windows (Which is again, NOT supported GPT due to EFI configuration by Apple where end-users are not able to modify it).
    Interestingly, since Mac Pro 2013 Late supports only Windows 8 and above, thus it is not known if this CSM-BIOS applies to it or not.
    Do take note that GPT disks in Windows can only be booted when the system meets the 2 requirements:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn640535%28v=vs.85%29.a spx#gpt_faq_win7_boot
    1) Windows x64 version (Which is a must for newer Macs. If you cannot go to Boot Camp 5, then you need Windows 7 x86 or 32bit version)
    2) UEFI system. However, Windows sees all Macs (With the possibility of Mac Pro 2013 Late is an exception. To be determined) as BIOS, or rather NON-UEFI system.
    In short, booting on GPT disks is not possible for Mac in Windows.
    Summary,
    It is tested that a combination of the following will not work:
    - OSX + Windows + Linux
    - Windows + OSX + Linux
    - Windows + Linux + OSX
    Usually it can create the system un-bootable or OSX refused to install due to the system does not recognize such partitions and / or Disk Utility refused to format a free space. An example screen-shot is provided below:
    The error message is shown as
    Title: "Failed to erase volume" Message: "Failed to wipe volume, as an error occurred: MediaKit has reported that the device does not have enough free space to execute the requested operations."
    The second thing is about the preparations we need.
    1) 1X Windows 7 or 8 DVD or USB thumbdrive
    1A) If you uses a DVD to install, you will need another thumbdrive to load the BootCamp drivers for Windows as well as may requires an external DVD drive for newer Macs
    2) 1X Linux DVD of your choice. Personally I choose Fedora 20.
    So ready? Let's go.
    1. Using Disk Utility, shrink the OSX's partition size to what is needed. For me, I give OSX 150GB. Do NOT create any new partition.
    Disk Utility should see something like below whereby only OSX partition is left with desired disk space. The remaining space are to be unused disk space for the moment.
    Note: Click on the top most item that should start with the size of your HDD / SSD. Then clicked on "Partition" and specify the desired OSX size. Hit "Apply" after that.
    2: Download Boot Camp drivers only via Boot Camp Assistant. The USB thumbdrive shall be used later after Linux's installation.
    Boot Camp Assistant should see this:
    I have only selected "Download latest Windows Support Files from Apple"
    3. Insert Linux DVD, reboot Mac into EFI mode (The left most first "EFI mode").
    Note 1: Before rebooting, please plugged in an Ethernet adapter because Wi-Fi drivers is not installed.
    Note 2: For Thunderbolt adapters, it must be plugged in before reboot as hot-swapping is not supported under Linux. More on the tips at the end of this article.
    Note 3: Press and hold "Option" after the screen turns black. Release Option key after you see the image as below:

    For the unfortunate part that did not make it on time to edit the images:
    9. Install the Windows Support software from your CD/USB drive to gain full functionality of your computer. Reboot and go to Windows again.
    Note 1: You may choose to eject disc at this point of time. For Apple SuperDrive users, you will need to wait until the drivers (i.e. Boot Camp support files) is installed and rebooted before ejecting is reasonably possible (As I failed to figured out how to right click without the drivers)
    Note 2: Unlike Windows 7 on KBase article TS4599 Keyboard/trackpad inoperative, black screen, or alert messages when installing Windows 7, USB stick can be plugged in after the Windows installation is done. This is because Windows 7 (And probably Windows 7 with SP1 DVD) does not have a built in USB 3 drivers when it was released back in 2009 where USB3 has not arrived then.
    Note 3: Due to TPM, Bitlocker is not supported without the use of thumbdrives.
    10. Using Disk Management to determine the given drive letter for the DATA partition (DO NOT DELETE and RECREATE partition or else you can goodbye to booting Linux and OSX). Disk Management will not allow you to format it as exFAT / FAT32 in graphical way.
    Note: You may remove or modify some of the disk letters in Disk Management. However, do NOT remove / modfify the drive letter for the partition with 200MB size in HFS. This is because it will disallow booting of Linux and neither could Windows nor OSX can do anything EXCEPT to reinstall Linux only.
    11. Open Command Prompt in Administrator Mode (Important!!), and key in the following command:
    format F: /FS:exFAT
    Give this volume a label after it has successfully formatted before hitting "Enter" again.
    Note: Mine Data partition was assigned as F drive. Please make necessary adjustment to "F:" should your Data partition is assigned to other letters.
    12. After that, Setup your Data partition structure as you like.
    Tip: Minimally create the important folders such as:
    - Music
    - Documents
    - Movie (Videos)
    - Downloads
    - Pictures
    All these folders are commonly used by the 3 OSes. I do NOT recommend changing of /home (OSX and / or Linux) and / or user home directory (Windows) either partially or as a whole.
    This is because of compatibility issue.
    On a side note, iTunes Media Library used in OSX and Windows are NOT able to be use interchangably due to hard-coded path used.
    13. Useful troubleshooting in Fedora / Linux:
    With references to these:
    http://chaidarun.com/fedora-mbp
    http://anderson.the-silvas.com/2014/02/14/fedora-20-on-a-macbook-pro-13-late-201 3-retina-display/
    http://unencumberedbyfacts.com/2013/08/16/linux-on-a-macbook-pro-101/
    I would like to highlight a few important points:
    1) Wi-Fi driver:
    http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
    Note 1: The sound driver should be installed at Out of Box Experience. However, the Wi-Fi is not.
    Note 2: Install both free and non-free repository. By the way, some other software like VLC can only be found after the Free Repository is installed.
    Search for "akmod-wl" in Gnome-Package-Installer in order to install Wi-Fi drivers
    Note 3: For those who do not have Ethernet adapters and their Mac does NOT have a built-in Ethernet port, it is recommended to get one. This is because Fedora 20 does not have a good support for iPhone USB tethering. Unsure for Andriod / Blackberry / Windows Phone users.
    2) Grub Menu:
    It will show several options to boot into OSX, even of the capability to boot into x86 or x64 mode. However, neither of them is bootable except Linux and the rescue.
    Hence, it is recommended to remove the items by hand in this file:
    /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
    Command to be used:
    "sudo gedit /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg"
    Parts to be removed:
    - For any extra kernels, delete the target entry by locating the line "menuentry" under "/etc/grub.d/10_linux" sector to one line above the next "menuentry".
    It is recommended to keep one main kernel, and one recovery at the minimal.
    - For other OS, delete all the entry (Since neither it can works) under "/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober" sector without removing the lines starts with ###.
    Auto Mount exFAT partition:
    - After installing extra packages for exFAT support (Since it is not supported by Fedora 20 from a default installation), you may wish to edit "/etc/fstab" in order to mount the exFAT partition during boot time.
    Command to be used:
    "sudo gedit /etc/fstab"
    Add the following line in gedit:
    UUID=702D-912D /run/media/Samuel/DATA                   exfat    defaults        1 2
    Note 1: For DATA partition, OSX & Boot Camp partition, Fedora defaults mounts under: "/run/medua/<Username with case sensitive>/<Partition Label Name>"
    Note 2: UUID is unique ID. You can find out the UUID by:
    Step 1: First determine the DATA partition number:
    "sudo gdisk /dev/sda"
    Step 2: Determine the UUID of this partition number:
    "sudo blkid /dev/sda8"
    Reference 1: http://manpages.courier-mta.org/htmlman5/fstab.5.html
    Reference 2: http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2007/10/15/short-tip-get-uuid-of-hard-disks/
    3) Overheating CPU
    Solution is to issue the following command in Linux terminal: su -c "echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo"
    4) System resumes immediately after suspend
    Solution is to issue the following command in Linux terminal: su -c "echo XHC1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup"
    5) What does not works well out of box:
    - Both GNOME and KDE's fonts are too small to be readable for out of box experience. Additional configuration is a need. (Some of the info can be found on "More Tips" later)
    - Thunderbolt hotplugging is NOT supported under Windows and Linux so far. Neither FaceTime HD camera works as well.
    - The red light in Headphone jack is always on. I do not have luck in switching off the light without losing the sound.
    Note 1: It is determined that the module "snd_hda_intel" is used by both cards (HDMI and normal output)
    Note 2: It is also known that blacklisting it can switch off the redlight at the price of muting the system.
    Note: Based on this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1574
    A Mac (Except Mac Pro) needs servicing when there is a red light while the system fails to detect internal speakers. However, this article does NOT applies to this issue.
    5A) More Tips:
    Install gnome-tweak-tool for more customization
    Search for: "gnome-package" to install:
    Install Gnome Package Installer for advanced package repository
    Install Gnome Package Updater for advanced updates to be install (Whereby Fedora's App Store alike might not show the relevant updates)
    14. Verify if disk is still GPT:
    Use Gdisk to determine if the disk is pure GPT:
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742682
    Command: sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda (The entire hard drive)
    You should see the MBR is "Protective" instead of anything else.
    15. Congrats, the system is ready for triple boot. (I forgot to eject my Windows DVD when the photo was taken)
    Note 1: You cannot set the default startup disk in Linux due to the lack of Boot Camp Control Panel in Linux.
    Neither is changing startup disk recommended in Windows due to the inability to display correctly.
    For me, I click "Cancel" whenever I am on this tab (Feel free to make other Boot Camp adjustments in other tabs).
    Only OSX I know that can show the startup disk options correctly.
    Note 2: For some reason, OSX likes to auto mount the EFI partition everytime it boots up. It is not known to have any issue for ejecting other disks or mounting disks via Disk Utility.
    Note 3: It is not determined if any Firmware or System upgrades will cause issues. It is only known that all 3 OS's regular updates should not be an issue.
    System Updates excludes Mac OSX 10.9.3 updates to OSX 10.9.4 type as I had done it on a OSX 10.9.4 Mac or Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Update 1 since my Windows DVD comes with Update 1.
    System Upgrades refers to OSX Mavericks to Yosemite, Fedora 20 to Fedora 21, Windows 8.1 Update 1 to Windows 8.2 / Windows 9 for that matter.
    Note 4: Reset SMC and / or PRAM will NOT affect your ability to boot any of the OS (OSX, Recovery HD, Fedora & Windows 8)
    Yup, that is it!

  • Anyway to dual boot either Linux and Mac OS X?

    Is there a way to dual boot Ubuntu and Mac OS X similar to Boot Camp?

    As an alternative you can purchase either Parallels Desktop for Mac or VM Fusion which provide virtual machines in which you can run various operating systems concurrently with OS X. Both products run various versions of Windows, Linux, and Unix.

  • How do I create a Boot Camp partition with Windows & blank NTFS partitions?

    I'm trying to create this kind of setup:
    OS X partition
    Windows 7 partition
    blank NTFS partition (no OS)
    blank NTFS partition (no OS)
    This would be much easier if I created just the OS X partition and the Windows 7 partition with the Boot Camp Assistant tool (done this many times before successfully on other computers). The problem begins when I try to split the Boot Camp partition through the Windows 7 DVD partition manager during setup by deleting the Boot Camp partition, and recreating three partitions from the unallocated space. After installing Windows 7 on one of those new three partitions, I'm getting all kinds of startup errors when I try to install the Boot Camp drivers.
    What would the best way to achieve this setup?

    Yes, I researched many options for three partition dual boot set ups. After many trials and tribulations, there is a simple method that I have used on multiple MBPs.
    1. Run Boot Camp Assistant, as per the Boot Camp Installation and Setup Guide. Once you have Mac OS X and Windows 7 set up, check the partitions and back them up (with Time Machine, and Winclone).
    2. Get iPartition, and resize the Mac and Windows partitions to what you want, say 100GB each, and set up your other partitions to the size you want. I put mine "after" the Windows partition, at the end of the disk, and have had no problems. It takes a few minutes to create the bootable CD for iPartition, but you get everything you need to do so from Coriolis Systems. You will need your Mac OS X installl disc.
    3. Install Paragon's HFS+ for Windows and NTFS for Mac, and everybody can read and write everything.
    4. I have both Time Machine and Norton 360 back up the Data partitions, just in case -- to an external drive, of course.
    You can boot to either OS and access any partition.

  • Dual boot ing pre-installed Windows 8 and windows 7?

    Hi there
    I have a lenovo G505s that came with windows 8 and would like to download windows 7 and have them dual boot for gaming purposes so I was wondering I could get any advise on the matter.

    Welcome to the forum!
    With Windows, generally you have to install the older version first then the newer with dual booting.  Since you already have Windows 8 installed that might be a problem.  Also resizing the partitions on your hard drive to make room will disable the option to use One Key Recovery at boot up.  If the machine is still under warranty, you might wait till the warranty expires before re-arranging things.  Also prior to installing Windows 7, make sure there are drivers available for your system's hardware.

  • How to implement a dual booting PXI system using windows 7 and labview RT

    Good Day
    My name is Mariano Ocana from the University of Manitoba, and I want to implement a dual system using windows 7 and labview RT in a PXIe-1082 chassis with a PXIe-8102 embedded controlled (the chassis came with windows 7 installed). What are the steps to use both systems (windows and RT)  in the same chassis?, in the NI help comes an example implementing a dual system using windows xp and RT, it is the same procedure?.
    Thank you in advance for all your help.
    Regards
    M. Ocana

    Greetings, Mariano.
    The real issue you have to contend with is whether or not you have a LabVIEW RT license.  If the 8102 controller was purchased Windows-Only, you likely do not have a license to run LabVIEW RT on the controller - you can purchase one, I think it's about $500, and at that point you can request a LabVIEW RT Configuration CD (that's not what it's called, but the sales guy will know what I'm talking about).  The Config CD is a CD that will partition your controller correctly with both FAT32 and NTFS filesystems (in the appropriate way) to allow you to run Windows 7 and LabVIEW Real-Time on the controller correctly.  Once done, you can then switch within the BIOS between LabVIEW Real-Time and Windows in order to dual-boot.  
    Either way, you likely need to contact NI sales to either purchase an RT license (if one was not received at the time of purchase) or to request a Configuration CD (it might also be called a dual-boot install CD or similar).

  • Ultra 40-M2: How to dual boot Solaris 10 and Windows XP?

    I have an Ultra 40-M2 with 3 300-GB SAS drives.
    First two drives I will use for Solaris 10 and mirror them using Solaris Volume Manager.
    The 3rd hard drive contains Windows XP. I want to be given the option of booting into Windows. By default, I want to boot into Solaris 10.
    How do I enable all this? Is there a configuration file I need to edit in Solaris to create this dual boot?

    You don't need to configure GRUB. If the third drive is XP only, you can setup the boot order in your BIOS and when you boot the system you can hit the F8 key and select to boot from your XP drive.
    It works very well for me.
