Dual boot WIndows 8.1 and Windows 7 (32 bits) from separated disks gives error 0XC0000359

Hi all,
I have two disks, each with a (OEM) installed OS on it, a Windows 8.1 (64 bits) and Windows 7.0 (32 bits). The later came from mine old computer that unfortunately died to soon. So I have two disks and two OS in an brand new machine (with UEFI BIOS etc.).
Installing a dual boot option was a pace of cake. However booting into Windows 7.0 gives following error:
"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. 
  File:\Windows\system32\winload.exe.
  Status: 0XC0000359
  Info: the application or operating system could't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors".
There is lot discussions about installing two OS but that is not mine problem: both are already installed.
Also there is much rumour about the UEFI BIOS and support for older systems. In mine medion computer the Security Boot option is disabled (by the OEM), so booting from a old BIOS should be possible, must isn't.
Someone advised me to run the recovery disk (of Windows 7.0) and run Bootmgr. However the system refuses to boot from CD/DVD with the recovery disk of Windows 7.0 inserted, booting from the recovery disk of Windows 8.1. goes fine.
Removing the disk with Windows 8.1 installed on it  and directly booting in Windows 7.0 fails too with the message: "Reboot and Select proper boot device or: Insert boot media in selected boot device and press key". Also in this case the system
refuses to boot from the Windows 7.0 recovery disk.
Could you please help me?

Hi,
To rebuilt boot loader, I suggest we can try following command when you enter Windows 8.1.
Run cmd as administrator and type following command:
BCDboot [Partition Letter with windows 7 installed]:\windows
Note: if you installed Windows 7 on Partition F, the command can be write as: BCDboot F:\windows.
Then, restart and boot into Windows 7.
What’s going on?

    am looking at buying an Aspire Netbook with 4 gig ram, dual core amd c70 processor and windows 8, will it run my cs5 suite

    Mark,
    Adobe generally requires a minimum CPU clock speed of 2.0 GHz or higher in order to run CS5 or higher. Unfortunately, the AMD C70 CPU in that netbook operates at only 1.0 GHz, which is far below Adobe's minimum requirement. In addition, even if it did run Premiere Pro CS5, performance will be excruciatingly slow, not only due to the extremely weak CPU, but also due to the complete lack of a discrete GPU with CUDA capability. As such, that system, if it even runs Premiere Pro CS5 at all, would be at least 80 to 100 times slower (in terms of the Relative Performance Index (RPI) in Bill Gehrke's and Hard Millaard's PPBM5 tests) than even a mediocre quad-core desktop PC, let alone a fast overclocked i7 monster PC.

  • I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone. The iPhone only accepts transfers from the original iTunes PC.

    I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone 4S. The iPhone will only accept music transfers from the original iTunes PC. I have come to understand that an iPhone can have only one "daddy" iTunes PC, but have not been able to find out how to change the "daddy". I have done a backup of the iPhone, and a "Restore to Original Settings". Then I restored the content using the new iTunes PC. My Apps and contacts, etc. are back on the iPhone, but it still won't accept music from the new iTunes PC.

    What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?

  • Frequent Fails when installing Adobe Flash Player (Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1)

    Constantly see the following error message from Adobe Flash Player Installer:
    Error has been encountered. Close this window and try downloading again.
    What in heck does that error message mean?
    This message occurs most of the time when I try to update to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
    It would be one thing if it was only occurring on Windows XP, but it shows up on Windows 7, Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1 frequently.
    Just for curiousity looked at the Windows 8.1 Event Viewer and NO error message shows up there.
    Would be nice to:
    (1) know what the error really is so that it can be reported to you to get it fixed once and for all.
    (2) have Adobe Flash Installer NOT to delete itself every time that the installer is run.
    (3) have an OFFLINE download installer to download and install Adobe Flash Player without the MacAfee installer.
    (4) have Adobe UNCHECK that the Install MacAfee installer that you have to opt out of each time you do an Adobe Flash Player download. You should make it to OPT IN not OPT OUT! Don't need another program installed without my permission. This causes issues when I have to uninstall MacAfee on computers that others in my family use.
    It seems to takes up to 20 times to download the Adobe installer over a period of many days or weeks to get it to install properly.
    I have written software for over 36 years as a computer programmer and now Senior Software Developer. I have do installers on my own and have to figure out how to solve my own issues on the installers to get them fixed.
    This issue doesn't seem to be tied to any particular version of Windows... Same issue occurs on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1! The ONLY commonality seems to be Adobe Flash Player.
    Certainly Adobe should be smart enough to fix this issue once and for all.
    If the issue is that there is a network congestion error that it cannot download the installer, please say so and please please please DO NOT delete the downloaded installer every time that it is run on a PC.
    I'd like to fix the security issues with the Adobe Flash Player AS SOON as there is a patch for it. I don't like having security issues over a long period of time.
    Please address this issue so that I can put this to bed and not have to keep sending you messages that once again the Adobe Flash Player Installer is yet again broken!
    Certainly you have a staff at Adobe that CAN fix this problem quickly!

    more information about errors can be found in the FlashInstall.log file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash (and the SysWOW64 equivalent on 64-bit systems)
    the offline installers (below) do not delete themselves
    you can find the offline installers

  • Competition problem between Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 on Photosmart C5180 connected via LAN

    Hello everyone, I am writing because I need some advice / help on a problem last night while configuring a small network.
    The network is made up as follows:
    2 notebook: Windows 8.1 and Windows 7
    3 different printers:
    2 USB connected to the respective notebook,
    1 HP Photosmart C5180 network printer connected via LAN via a router.
    The situation is the following:
    both notebooks recognize the various printers and are able to send and print documents but,
    when the print command starts from both notebook SIMULTANEOUSLY or at a distance of a few seconds, the only document printed is ALWAYS the one sent from the notebook with WINDOWS 8.1. The other one submitted by WINDOWS 7 IS LOST without being reported.
    So if I ask of you is someone experienced in the print queues, print drivers, competition in the print jobs that can help me in solving this problem.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello cesco,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having a communication issue when attempting to print on two separate printers at the same time.
    This will be a communication issue for sure.  The computer can only send to one printer at a time. You will have to print to one printer, wait for it to finnish the print job and then send it to the other printer. 
    There is no way that you can print from one computer to two separate printers at the same time.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Dual boot Mac OS X and Arch: Arch installer cannot find CD drive?

    Hi, everyone!  A friend convinced me to install Arch about a month ago on my desktop and I've loved it so much that I want to dual boot Mac OS X and Arch on my Macbook Pro 7.1.
    So I have a Macbook Pro 7.1.  I have partitioned the drive in Mac OS X and installed rEFIt.  I have the Arch x86_64 disk which I know works because I installed Arch on another computer. 
    When I boot from CD I get the familiar Arch screen with options "Boot Arch Linux, existing OS... etc."  I click boot Arch, and it starts to load.  However, it says "Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201005 ... ERROR: boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds... Falling back to interactive prompt.  /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off."
    After searching around the forums, some people said they had similar problems attempting to install via USB.  I used "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" and my CD drive does not show up in ramfs.. What can I do to install this amazing OS on my MB Pro 7.1?
    Thank you for your time!

    Solved!  sledgehammer and MrE (sorry, I can't spell it) in IRC helped me out.  I had to download a newer iso that offers better Mac hardware support.  2010-12 iso

  • SCM update for Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012 R2

    Hi,
    When are we likely to get an update to SCM for Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012 R2?

    Hi
    you must add these lines in ZTIGpoPack.wsf (for MDT) and LocalGPO.wsf (for LocalGPO), and for MDT 2013, copy ZTIGpopack to Deploymentshrare\Scripts
    sOSVersion = oEnvironment.Item("OSCurrentVersion")
                If (Left(sOSVersion,3) = "6.3") and oEnvironment.Item("IsServerOS") then
                        sOS = "WS2012R2"
                        oLogging.CreateEntry "Using Windows Server 2012 R2 GPO Pack", LogTypeInfo
                ElseIf (Left(sOSVersion,3) = "6.3") and Not(oEnvironment.Item("IsServerOS")) then
                        sOS = "Win81"
                    oLogging.CreateEntry "Using Windows 8.1 GPO Pack", LogTypeInfo
    Regards
    Thanks for this, but you also need to update the GPOPack.wsf in (each relevant) template folder of the Deployment Share like this:
            If(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.3") and (strProductType <> "1") then
        strOS = "WS12R2"
            ElseIf(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.3") and (strProductType = "1") then
        strOS = "Win81"
            ElseIf(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.2") and (strProductType <> "1") then
        strOS = "WS12"
            ElseIf(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.2") and (strProductType = "1") then
        strOS = "Win8"
    As ZTIApplyGPOPack calls GPOPack.wsf.
    (Which is what I think Scorpio92 probably meant when you said to edit LocalGPO.wsf...)

  • Playing back Recorded TV Programs using Windows Media Player and only hearing Sound from Front Speakers

    Hi All,
    I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit Service Pack 1 with Windows Media Player 11 installed.
    When I click on one of my Recorded TV Programs to watch and hear, I can only hear the Sound coming from the Front Speakers.
    When I right-click on the Program and open it up in Real Player Cloud. I can indeed watch the program and hear Clear Sound coming from all 5 Speakers plus the Subwoofer.
    What setting do I change to use Windows Media Player and have sound coming from all 5 Speakers and the Subwoofer?
    Thank you!

    When I open the recording in Real Player Cloud, installed on my computer, not streaming over the Internet, I hear it correctly played.
    When I use Windows Media Player, nothing can be heard from the Rear Speakers.
    Speakers and Hardware are working fine.

    Hi,

    Reference link below(session Supported upgrade paths):

  • Hyper-V on Windows 2008R2 Running Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone

    I am a lone wolf developer running Hyper-V on a legally-licensed Server running Windows Enterprise 2008R2. I have extremely limited research funding.
    Since I need to evaluate Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone development for the 1080p Phone Emulator, I created a Virtual Machine of Windows 8.1 Evaluation Copy RTM on my server. I am trying to create software for the Nokia Lumia 1520 Phone-Tablet.
    Everything in the Windows 8.1 Virtual Machine runs perfectly from Hyper-V on Windows 2008R2, except for one problem related to my Phone development project. Networking is perfect, the display is perfect, there are no other issues except this "gotcha".
    The problem appears with the Windows Phone SDK Update 4, which supports a 1080p
    Windows Phone Emulator. This emulator is supposed to load it's own instance of a Windows 8.1 Hyper-V virtual machine
    when debugging the Phone Application from Visual Studio 2012 Express.
    This Emulator tries to start it's own Hyper-V session inside Windows 8.1. In my humble opinion, it should be possible to do this (load a Windows 8.1 HyperV Virtual Machine inside a "parent" Virtual Machine).
    It presents this error message instead:
    Essentially, Windows 8.1, running in a Virtual Machine, should also be able to create a Virtual Machine inside it's own Virtual Machine. That is the required design of the Phone Emulator (must be able to intantiate a Windows 8.1 Hyper-V Virtual machine to display
    the Phone).
    If that does not work, then I guess it must not be a supported configuration. If not, then I need to licence Windows 8.1 on a separate physical computer. Anyone want to tackle this?
    +__+

    I have a legal, licensed Windows 2008 R2 Server with the Hyper-V Role. I then downloaded the time-limited
    Windows 8.1 RTM Evaluation Version and successfully installed. It works flawlessly. Next, I installed the
    Windows Phone SDK Update 4 on top of
    Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone.
    It all works flawlessly, except for one little problem.
    Since I am interested in evaluating and testing the Windows Phone SDK 1080p Emulator, I must run
    F5 - Start Debugging in Visual Studio in order to see my Windows Phone application in 1080p resolution. Well, the Emulator
    almost completely starts up successfully, but at the last push it gives an error. This error is shown below as a JPEG. 
    Does anyone know which of the "Hyper-V components is not running?"

  • Is wallpaper synchronized between Windows 10 TP and Windows 8.1?

    I'm using both Windows 10 TP and Windows 8.1 with sign-in using the same Microsoft account, and have found wallpaper(s) is synchronized between two OSs. When changing wallpaper to black/mono-color on Win.8.1, then that of Win.10 TP gets to be black, vice
    versa. 
    Is wallpaper synchronized between Windows 10 TP and Windows 8.1?  If so, can I stop it?
    P.S.  my PC running Win.10 have two monitors, and the two show the different wallpaper with each other (of course,  when using DesktopBackground, not mono-color). That's great.

    My question has been cleared.  [Settings]-[Account]-[Settings of Synchronization] is the answer.
    I made Synchronization On carelessly.
