Dual Boot - Heat Problem

What I like about this Mac, is that I can boot into OS9.2.2 "Natively", rather than using Classic when in OS X. The reason for this is there is an OS9.2.2 application I need to use in my office that just dosen't work right in Classic. However, when in "native" OS9, the CPU HEATS UP TO 147 degrees! But the fan dosen't speed up to cool it down while in this mode. I have learned to not stay in this mode too long for fear of cooking my CPU, and I restart back in OS X, at which time the fan speeds up and cools the CPU back down to about 138 degrees, which seems to be normal for this machine.
The firmware boot rom in this Mac is 4.4.7f1. I know that there is a firmware update 4.4.8, which I have but have not installed, because the doc file that comes with it says "improves fan control behavior and reduces high speed fan cycling when running in Mac OS 9".
What I need is for the fan TO SPEED UP when in OS 9 "native" mode, to keep the CPU heat down.
That's why I never installed the 4.4.8 firmware update, as I think it might worsen the problem.
Has anyone done this update and does it make the fan hopefully speed up in OS 9 "native" mode?
As an alternative, I'm still running this Mac under OS 10.3.9. Would upgrading to Tiger solve this problem?

Hi. My G4 dual mdd 1,42 has the 4.4.8f2 firmware. When I boot into OS9 the CPU is normally cooled, more than OS X. Infact the fan starts earlier, and it's a little bit noisy, but CPU temp is lower than OS X
mode. The machine runs flawlessy with this firmware, bot 9 and X

  • Win XP / 7 dual boot activation problem...

    Here's the scene:
    1/ Have Xp installed and CS4 running fine... (used to have CS3 as well but there was a mobo problem and CS3 now gives an activation error message. Too much of a hassle to reformat and reinstall... yada, yada, yada.)
    2/ Just installed Win 7 to test as a dual boot option and installed CS4 fresh. PS and AI both give me a "Licensing for the product has expired" message with no options. There are no other activations, meaning no alternative on another system or laptop, etc.
    Is there a work around or do i have to do a completely fresh install? Meaning, deactivate CS4 in th XP boot and then reinstall CS4 in th Win 7 boot?
    TIA...

    NB: FYI, have posted this in the Creative Suites (Win) forum as well...

  • Dual boot time problem

    I have been having problems dual booting into Windows 7 and Arch.  The time is always slow by a few hours, no matter what I try to do.  I have tried both localtime and UTC and get the same problem.

    Is the time slow on Windows and Arch, or just slow on Arch?
    Is the time slow by the same amount every boot?
    Is the time slow by an exact number of hours and zero minutes?
    grep ^TIME /etc/rc.conf
    Is your timezone the same in Windows?

  • Satellite P200D-12O is not Booting / Heat Problem?

    Some time ago it appeared the probelm to not booting(doing nothing) when the power cable was in(it didn't matter if the battery was in or not). With the power cable off and with the battery in it started and after that(when still working after the boot with the battery) if I plugged in the power cable the battery was charging and the laptop continued to work normally, if I removed the battery it still continued to work normally with only the power cable. I forgot to say that when the laptop is off the charging process works normally.
    The other problem I noticed was that even that the laptop could work for days flawlessly when I managed to boot it, when i shutted it off I couldn't start it again right after whatever I tried. I had to wait for 15-20 minutes to I guess cool down to try to boot it again with the process I described.
    Now I have a new problem, no matter how much time I wait for the laptop to cool it doesn't booot(The indicators light for 5 sec but it doesn't make it to the post screen).
    The only solution is to let the laptop in the freezer(yeah!) for 10 minutes and then I manage to boot it with the process I have described.
    What could be the problem bios problem? cpu cooling problem(I forgot to say that both fans work)? some other heat problem(BGA, DC Jack)? (Battery and power supply doesn't seem to be the probelm, Bios is up to date)
    Any ideas?

    On this virtual way it is not easy to say what the problem is. Fact is that Satellite P200D is very old notebook model so maybe it is time for general overhaul. With other words notebook should be disassembled, cleaned up and I also think that thermal grease on CPU must be exchanged.
    After few years it is pretty hard and must be exchanged with new one.
    You have also described problem with switching it on. This is very strange. Problem can be power supply electronic but also AC adapter. Do you still use original Toshiba AC adapter that you got with your notebook?

  • Dual boot installation problems

    The dvd I created will not boot to setup 10.  However, the setup files, etc. will work while in windows7 prof., but will not give me any options other than an upgrade.  I don't want to ruin my 7 installation.  I also tried to copy all the
    files to a usb drive and boot from that...no luck.
    any help would be appreciated.   thank you

    DF
    You need to make the dvd boot.  When you try to boot from the dvd or USB what happens?  Have you changed the boot order to make the DVD/USB first?

  • Dual boot Windows 7 (64) and Arch Linux (64) problems

    Hello:
    I am new to Arch Linux and just finished installing the 64bit on my laptop. It had a prebuilt Windows 7 (64) installed which I kept but split the hdd from 160Gb to 80Gb and 80Gb. I installed Arch there and set 4 partitions, all of them as Logical - a 64 MB ext2 /boot partition; a 512 MB swap partition; a 15 GB root partition; and the rest as my /home partition. My partitions look like this:
    Disk Drive: /dev/sda
    Size: 160041885696 bytes, 160.0 GB
    Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 19457
    Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB)
    sda1 Primary Unknown (27) 12889.02
    sda2 Boot Primary NTFS 106.93
    sda3 Primary NTFS [] 73915.11*
    sda5 Logical Linux ext2 65.81*
    sda6 Logical Linux 509.97*
    sda7 Logical Linux ext2 15002.92*
    sda8 Logical Linux ext2 57549.55*
    The install was succesful(this was running from the core install cd) and I installed GRUB to my /boot but when I restarted it loaded Windows 7. I have used Knoppix USB disc to boot and see my Arch Linux install files and edited the /boot/gur/menu.lst file.
    In Windows I installed EasyBCD 1.7.2 and tried to get NeoGrub bootloader working as a dual boot. I tried getting rid of the boot flag for Windows with cfdisk and setting it to my (Logical) sda5. That did not work. So far the only way I have booted into my Arch Linux install has been by going to the Live CD, choosing "Boot from Existing Linux Install" and editing the command files there.
    root (hd0,4)
    kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro
    initrd /kernel26.img
    My goal is to get a dual boot working for Windows 7 and Arch Linux 64 and continue installing the Xorg and KDE to Arch. I just don't know what the problem is here. I don't mind reinstalling Arch if something went wrong, but I would like to keep my Windows running in order and add Arch on.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I ran the LiveCD and chose "Install to MBR hd0". I ended up with this:
    setup hd(0,1)
    Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists.....yes
    Checking if "/boot/grub/iso9660_stage1_5" exists.....yes
    Running "embed /boot/grub/iso9660_stage1_5 (hd0,1)".....failed(this is not fatal)
    Running "embed /boot/grub/iso9660_stage1_5 (hd16)".....failed(this is not fatal)
    Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0,1) /boot/grub/stage2 p (hd0,1) boot/grub/menu.lst".....failed
    Error 31: File is not sector aligned
    My entry for Windows into the menu.lst looks like this:

    root (hd0,4)

  • Problem dual booting Windows 8 and windows 7 G480

    I bought new laptop g480 and it comes with windows 8  single language and I want to dual boot it with windows 7 Ultimate. So I create one partition 50 Gig using Minitool Partition Wizard, after that I boot into USB device ( I've bootable Windows 7 USB and already disable secure boot in BIOS). The process went fine until it ask me where to install the windows, so I choose the partition 50 Gig I created before but I get this message "Windows cannot be installed to this disk of the GPT partition style". Help me guys how to solve this problem, I've searched solution for this but non of them seems working for me. Step by step will be good for me.  I hope to get quick reply for this because I've this problem since 2 days ago and never get solution .
    Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi @CharlyAR
    I tried your solution before I posted the message here but it didn't work but then I give it try again and I manage to install the Windows 7 ultimate. Now my pc dual boot with windows 7 and windows 8 (windows 8 is the main OS).
    p.s. This is important guys, if u want to make windows 7 bootable USB by following the tutorial on youtube it wont work if you pc/laptops is pure GPT (UEFI) because most of them  using MBR to make the tutorial thats why it look easy and works for them, it's almost same but there's "add-on" with GPT mode. You have to make the windows 7 bootable USB in GPT (UEFI) mode or it wont let you install. I couldn't find tutorial for this GPT mode on youtube.
    All I do is search my old DVD-RW and erase it and  I follow the tutorial here, same what @CharlyAR told me

  • Problem with dual boot after upgrade to Mountain lion

    Hello Every One,
    I have a Macbook pro from 2009 which had dual boot option Windows 7 + Snow Leopard.
    The windows 7 had 2 partitions (C; and D: an extended partition).
    I upgraded the OS X to Mountain lion. after upgrade the system showed 3 options at boot time. Mac, Windows and a recovery partition.
    when i boot to windows the D: drive is gone...I mean even though i can see the partition in partition software, windows 7 stopped showing D: in "My computer".
    So i used testdisk utility to get the D: drive back and now when i boot to mountain Lion i am able to access both C:(BOOTCAMP) and D: drives.
    but now the problem is during boot time my Mac Book pro doesn't show the windows option.
    Can some suggest a means to boot into windows 7? Also what is the purpose of recovery partition that Mountain lion adds to the system? I mean is it going to hurt if i get rid of it so that i can go back to my old configuration of 3  primary partitions (1 for windows 7 ...C: bootcamp + MountainLion) + 1 extended partition for D:
    any help would be appreciated?

  • Y500 dual boot windows 8 and fedora 19 problem

    I bought a y500 two days ago and i wanted to dual boot windows 8 and fedora 19, so here's what i did
    1. downloaded fedora 19 (x64) iso from the fedora website.
    2.made a live USB using live usb creator.
    4.opened disk management utility and shrunk the c drive (windows 8 was installed here) by 100 gb and kept the 100gb unallocated.
    3. started the laptop with novo button, changed the bios config to boot from usb.
    4.installed fedora from usb, selecting the 100gb unallocated memory for installation
    5.restarted the laptop.
    now the problem is fedora works perfectly but when i try to boot windows 8, the following error is shown.
    windows failed to start
    file:\BOOT\BCD
    status: 0xc0000225
    info:the boot configuration data for your PC is missing or contains errors.
    i am guessing the fedora installation overwrote the boot files of windows and
     i have not taken a backup. please help

    hi,
    I have a Y500 and I wanted to dualboot fedora 19 with windows 8, this proved to be unsuccessful. I had made a repair disk before the process (but not a set of recovery disks unfortunately >.<   ). now I inserted the repair disk and selected the automatic repair option, it showed a message that auto recovery has failed.  now when I pressed the NOVO button and selected the system recovery option, it does not go into the OKR menu but continues with the normal booting process.  Can somebody guide me or give links where I can find step by step instructions to making OKR work and reset my laptop to factory settings? PLEASE help As Soon As Possible
    NOTE: I did resize the windows 8 os partition but the recovery and the lenovo partition are still untouched

  • W8.1/W7-64 dual boot, dual drive (SSD & SATA) GPT/MBR problems

    I'm posting in both the W8 and W7 forums because I'm not sure which is more appropriate.
    Setup:
    New Dell XPS8700 with Windows 8.1 installed on a 256GB SSD drive.  I upgraded to W8.1 Pro.
    2nd drive is a 2TB SATA.
    Goal:
    Keep W8.1 Pro on SSD.
    Install W7 Ultimate 64 (legal copy, installation disk) on SATA Drive.
    Select which one I want at boot.
    Main Issue
    Cannot easily choose which OS to log into.  See  Dual Boot Problems and Current State for details.
    Background: W7 Installation Probems
    1. I disabled Secure Boot in the BIOS and Fast Startup in Windows 8.1
    2. I created 3 partitions (D, E, F) on the SATA drive (a GPT drive)
    3. Used the Advanced Option in W8 to boot from the DVD (absurd),
    4. Windows 7 started setup from the DVD but at the initial screen (Language, Country), it hung. Hard. No keyboard, no mouse.  Had to turn off computer.
    5. Using F12, selected legacy boot from DVD.  Now the installation got beyond the first screen. I selected Custom Install.  When I tried to install to the E: partition, I got the message that W7 could not be installed on a GPT drive.  From
    a lot of research and reading, I'm guessing this is because I chose a legacy boot. But, please, note:  the only reason I did a legacy boot was because I could not get past the first screen with a "normal" CD/DVD boot,
    6. So, I went back into W8, deleted the volumes on the SATA drive, changed it to MBR, recreated the volumes.
    7. Using F12, again selected legacy boot from DVD and was able to install W7 on the E: partition, except that every reboot during the installation process got me back into W8, so I had to restart with the F12 option/legacy boot to finish W7 installation.
    8. Finally got W7 installed. Logged in. OK so far.
    Dual Boot Problems
    1. No boot menu.  Computer booted directly into W8.1. And, yes, Fast Startup in W8.1 still disabled. 
    2. Downloaded and installed EasyBCD.  Created boot menu for W8.1 and W7 with W8.1 the default.
    3. Reboot, select W8.  Fine, I'm into W8.1
    4. Reboot, select W7. All I get is one bar of hieroglyphics across top of screen.  Hard freeze.  Had to unplug computer.
    5. Do an F12 reboot and select legacy boot from the SATA drive.  Get a different boot menu  with Windows 7 on top and W8 Media version below.  Select W7.  It loads and I log in.
    6. Do an F12 reboot and select legacy boot from the SATA drive. This time, select W8.  Get an error that it can't find W8.
    Current State
    1. The default boot into W8 works fine.
    2. Can't get into W7 unless I do an F12 legacy boot from SATA at startup.
    3. If I do an F12 legacy boot from SATA, I can't get into W8.
    I do not want to rely on F12 for 2 reasons: first, I want W7 to be my default working enviroment. Please do not try to convince me that there is no good reason for that.  I want to do this, have legal, paid for copies of W7 (actually, I now have four.)
    Second, it will make installing W7 updates nightmarish since I'll have go go through the whole F12 thing for every reboot.
    I am assuming that the problem stems from the original GPT/MBR  split (with the SSD being GPT and the SATA being MBR) - although I could be wrong.  And, remember, the only reason I changed the SATA from GPT to MBR was because the W7 setup froze
    at the initial screen when I first tried to install W7 with a normal boot from DVD.
    Things I've tried:
    1. Via W8, got to a command prompt where I ran bootsect.exe /scanos.  The result was that it found NO Windows Installations. Obviously incorrect.
    2. Uninstalled EasyBCD from W8.
    3. Rebooted.  Same boot menu as before: W8.1 on top, Windows 7 below (as I had set things up in EasyBCD).
    2. Via W8 Command Prompt did a bcdboot c:\windows to try to get GUI boot menu.  Got the error message: failure when attemptng to copy boot files.
    What I want to do seems to me to be quite simple: run W8 from the SSD, run W7 from the SATA.  It's my understanding that I should be able to install W7 on a GPT drive and that would, I am hoping,
    solve the boot menu problem.  But see Installation Problems above: I couldn't do the default boot from the DVD and install W7 because it froze at the first screen.  Is there some other way to get past the freeze and install W7 to a GPT?
    I've been working on this for two weeks now, have read more articles, watched more YouTube videos than I care to list. Need Help Desperately.

    SOLUTION:
    The problem I described above stemmed from the fact that I had been unable to install W7 without using the legacy option. (The W7 installation would freeze at the first screen.)  That created the boot incompatibilities between W8.1 and W7because I had
    to use legacy for the latter but not for the former.
    It turned out that the USB ports were the basic problem.  The Windows 7 installation program doesn't recognize USB 3.0 ports. Unfortunately, the A08 BIOS in the XPS 8700 -Special Edition (as of late Dec. 2014) has only 3 options for enabling/disabling
    the USB ports: Front, Top, Back.  The back panel has a mix of USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports and I needed a 2.0 port for the mouse and keyboard to work.  However, disabling the Front and Top USB ports was sufficient. The W7 install no longer froze.
    So, from my W8 installation, I wiped out the SATA drive, changed it back to GPT, partitioned it, disabled the Front and Top USB ports in the BIOS and booted from the W7 DVD.  The installation went fine.  After installing the network driver, downloaded
    previously, and updating W7, I installed the USB 3.0 drivers and then re-enabled the Top and Front in the BIOS.
    So, now the EasyBCD boot options work just fine.  Both drives are GPT. No legacy options.

  • [SOLVED] Dual boot with Windows 8, problems after updating Windows

    Hi all,
    I have been maintaining a dual boot of arch and Windows 8 for some time. I recently updated Windows to 8.1, and found that the update process had two side effects:
    1) The update added a new partition in the middle of my file table, so my /etc/fstab which referenced "/dev/sda6" was wrong because that partition is now "/dev/sda7."
    2) The default boot device was switched to the Windows Boot Loader instead of grub. But, this is not a problem because I can work around this by using the "Choose boot device" feature of my bios at start up.
    So, neither of these problems are critical for me at the moment. I can fix my fstab and just press a hotkey at startup.
    EDIT: I have avoided the /etc/fstab issue by referencing my partitions using UUID as specified in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab.
    How do I set the default boot device back to grub? There is some weirdness here, I think windows is using UEFI booting and my grub uses the old booting system.

    Rex: I tried that command, got some warning messages regarding blocklists, but no dice.
    Loqs: You are right about windows using a ESP and UEFI while my linux is not booting using UEFI. My bios is configured to try "Legacy boot" first before trying UEFI. Getting linux to boot using UEFI seemed like a pain, so...
    I went into my BIOS settings and found that the Windows Boot Manager boot device was listed in front of my hard disk (which boots linux). I don't think this used to be the case, so something about the update caused my BIOS to reorder the boot devices (probably because the partitions changed).
    Switching my hard disk to be above the Windows Boot Manager in the boot device list now makes me boot into linux by default, and I can boot into windows by pressing a hotkey at bootup and selecting the windows boot manager.

  • Dual Boot windows 32bit and 64bit overclocking problems

    Im pretty new to overclocking and this is my first try I manage to get my AMD Venice 3200 to hit 2500 with 250fsb X 10, HTT 4, vcore 1.44. I used memory divider 166/200 so the memory is running at 208MHz not alot of overclocking on the memory since it is some cheap brand.
    My problem is that I have dual boot and with windows xp everything is fine CPU-z reports the right speed for the cpu and memory when I overclock, and there is an increse in preformance with overclocking, But when I boot windows XP 64bit CPU-z reports the FSB as 200 so it is not showing any change, it does report the change in the memory divider 166/200 and the cpu voltage increased that I applied to overclock. The thing is that when I open systerm properties it shows the CPU speed as 2500MHz but when I test the preformance there isnt any increase. I used Superpi to test preformance and in windows XP 32bit it finishes the 1M test in 36seconds while in Windows XP 64bit it takes 42seconds.
    My system specs are
    AMD Venice 3200
    MSI K8N Platium bios 1.8
    1024MB Wintec Memory 3200
    Geforce 6800 GTO 400/1100
    OCZ ModStream OCZ52012U 520W Power Supply

      Im runing the final release of Windows xp 64 and cpu-z 1.30, I also have Everest Ultimate Edition and it only shows 3% overclock 205 FSB.  Im thinking of formating the HD with windows 64 and installing it again with the systerm already overclock.
