Dual boot issues

I've been attempting to get up to speed on labview, labview RT, the PXI (8106), and getting the PXI to dual boot labview RT and windows XP. Question here is only about dual booting. I have the PXI set up with a fat32 partition physically before (C the NTFS partition that windows XP is installed on (E. I installed windows, worked great. I then tried to boot in to labview RT/communicate with the PXI (booting into RT using the bios software switch). No dice since no RT software was installed. So I used a USB memory stick and the software from MAX to install RT on to the PXI. Worked, I can communicate with the PXI, awesome. Today I wanted to boot back in to windows. Go in to the bios, set it to boot windows/other OS . . . and it boots in to labview RT. Dammit. What did I do wrong? What can I do to correct this? Please tell me I don't have to re-do the windows install. It will be my fourth time and installing all that NI software takes a painful amount of time!
Thanks,
Chris

If you attempt to fix your master boot record, here's a couple other things to keep in mind:
1. When you used the RT USB key, did you select the Format option to only update the 1st available partition or format the entire disk? Gerardo's suggested approach will of course only work if you did the former.
2. If you don't have any success with FixMBR since it is a slightly more complicated disk configuration with two partitions, there is another approach you can try if you meet the following requirements:
(a) You originally set up two partition configuration on your disk with the NI OS Recovery media
(b) You have another disk of the exact same type that you are willing and able to erase.
(c) You only did the partital format of the original drive from the RT USB key (see item #1 above)
(d) You have a bootable USB key (see note below)
If so, you could do the following:
1. Put the 2nd disk on your PXI-8106
2. Run the OS installer, and configure it exactly as you did with the first disk.
3. You should now have a disk with a master boot record that exactly matches the one you'd like on your original controller.
4. Boot to DOS from your USB key and run MBRWizard to save a copy of the master boot record (http://mbrwizard.com)
5. Put the original disk back on your PXI-8106, boot to DOS again, and run MBRWizard to restore that saved MBR file to update the master boot record on the original disk.
It sounds pretty involved but really can be done in a few minutes because for step 2 -you don't need to fully install the OS. We're only interested in getting a copy of the master boot record, which is one of the first things that the installer will configure. Once you see the installer copying files to the disk, you can stop the system and proceed to step 3.
Note on DOS-bootable USB key: If you don't have a DOS-bootable USB key, there is a variety of ways to set one up but a relatively easy one is to grab this disk diagnostic tool from NI: Fujitsu Disk Diagnostic. Careful, once you run the tool, IT WILL ERASE YOUR ENTIRE USB KEY. Technically it is for setting up a disk diagnostic, but you should be able to copy the mbr wizard tool to the key and also run that from DOS. Delete the autoexec.bat file that gets created on the USB key to prevent the Fujitsu tool from running automatically. You could for example re-use the RT USB key you previously configured, although it will be wiped and new files put on it.
Last thing: If you don't have a second drive available, please post the exact details on the drive you do have and the specifics on how you originally partitioned the drive (what tools, what partition sizes). I might be able to help you out and create the MBR file for you, so you would only need to worry about step 5 above (and setting up a DOS bootable USB key).

975x Platinum PowerUp Dual Boot Issue

Hello -
I have a 975x Plat. PowerUp and dual boot Linux and Windows XP. This process works fine on BIOS 7.1, but fails to boot the Windows disk on BIOS 7.4 and newer. The disk still works, it just can't be started by the Linux bootloader (grub).
I spent a lot of time working on this as a grub issue, but in the end the only thing that affects the problem is revision of the BIOS I am using. (e.g., flash 7.4, Windows does not boot, reboot and flash 7.1, Windows boots).
I also get an issue where I cannot eject the CD drive on warm boot under the same conditions (like a BIOS boot disc, or a Windows boot disc). Works fine on 7.1 not on 7.4 or newer.
I have all 4 ports on the ICH7 controller used for hard drives, and the JMicron controller used for a SATA DVD drive. The issue occurs in IDE or AHCI mode (currently using AHCI mode).
Are these known problems? Are there known fixes? I would like to use a newer BIOS because I have an MS USB keyboard that does not work in DOS mode with BIOS < 7.4 (need keyboard to select OS at boot time).
Thanks,
Chris

Inconsistent grub error 17, dual booting issues

Hello,
I've recently installed Arch as a second OS on my computer, but I'm having a bit of trouble when it comes to booting it. I'm a bit new to Linux in general, but I've tried to research the problem, and seem to have run into a wall. Any comments, insight, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Preemptive apologies for being windy, I'm trying to give as much relevant info as possible here
****************Here are the details:******************
-1st hard drive (sda): Windows 7
-2nd hard drive (sdb): Arch
Partitioning scheme:
sdb1 = boot, about 100Mb, ext2
sdb2 = swap, ~2gig
sdb3 = root, ~20gig, ext3
sdb4 = home, the rest (HD is 500gb total), ext3
-grub is installed on the MBR of sdb
-windows has no problems booting independently (when i disconnect my second hard drive), so sda hasn't been touched at all
in grub's menu.lst:
arch has root set to (hd1,0)
windows 7 has rootnoverify set to (hd0,0), with chainloader +1 after.
**************The issue:********************
when choosing to boot arch from grub, (this is booting off of the second hard drive), i get an error 17, saying the filesystem is unrecognized and the partition type is 0x7.
if i then enter into the command line mode for grub, and try
find /grub/stage1
it spits out (hd0,0), which is incorrect. it should be (hd1,0) since my boot partition is the first partition on the second hard drive, and (hd0,0) is an entirely different hard drive with nothing but windows on it.
An interesting complication:
If I boot the USB iso image of arch I used to originally install it, and I highlight the option "boot existing OS", press tab to change hd0 0 to hd1 0, it loads up Grub, and from there on Grub boots perfectly fine to Arch - implying that at the very least Arch installed on the hard drive properly. Also, Grub run in this fashion seems to realize that (hd1,0) is ext2.
After booting arch as in the previous paragraph^ (note, this is arch as installed on the hard drive, not the liveCD version), i run:
grub
grub> find /grub/stage1
and it replies that stage1 is in hd(1,0), which is where it should be.
Googling suggests my partitions are somehow messed up, but I'm not completely sure of that. Booting from the USB image and running
fdisk -l
seems to give the right partition order and sizes.
However, there could be a problem stemming from how I partitioned the second hard drive in the first place: it's an Advanced Format drive, and using Western Digital's guidelines - http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5655 - i ran:
parted -a optimal /dev/sdb
and created my partitions, then used the Arch installer to establish their file systems and do the rest.
I don't have any concrete ideas about what's going on, except that Grub is somehow having trouble mounting/recognizing the file system when I try to run it from the MBR directly.
Once again, sorry for such a long post, and any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Ok, so I've tried to reconfigure my grub/menu.lst as described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pe … t_managers .
When I try to boot after that, it claims that the device /dev/disk/by-uuid/*the uuid i got for my boot partition* cannot be found.
This next paragraph might be a bit of a facepalm moment; in retrospect, it seems like it should be obvious that this would happen (like lifeafter2am is saying, my drives are getting switched at boot up):
After booting up grub in a bunch of different configurations, I've managed to determine that what my computer does is this:
- In the bios, I changed the boot order to be USB -> 2nd hard drive (the one with arch on it) -> first hard drive (since I use a USB for a liveCD, and the 2nd hard drive's MBR has grub on it, which i want to use to dual boot both arch and windows, windows being on the first hard drive).
So every time I insert the usb, it changes what grub perceives to be hd0 and hd1. When I insert the usb, the usb becomes hd0, and the other drives are renumbered. When I try to boot without the USB, having the BIOS boot from my second hard drive makes the second hard drive become hd0.
What with ^ going on, I simply went in to the grub/menu.lst and changed arch's (hd1,0) to (hd0,0), and now it recognizes that (hd0,0) is indeed an ext2 fs, partition type 0x83, etc.
The problem now is: no matter what I try to set the root in menu.lst to be, whether it's sdb1, sda1, some uuid label, grub starts booting and then says error: unable to mount the real root device, and dumps me into a shell with a good luck message.
Is there a way to figure out what i should set grub's root in menu.lst to be, from the arch iso on my USB, keeping in mind the fact that inserting the USB renumbers the hard drives?
I don't wanna make the analogy to quantum mechanics, but this almost seems like an observer disturbing the results type of thing >_<

Dual boot issues with P67A-GD55 (B3)

Set up a dual boot and from a cold start now the system boots directly into the default OS even though I have it set to display the options for 15 seconds. When this happens I do a soft reset and then the 2 OS choices are there. This is on the 1.C BIOS (latest). Would expect to always see the 2 OS choices on cold boot as well.

yes, I have several HDDs and an SSD. The 2 OSs are on the SSD. The original OS was on the SSD then I created free space on the SSD and installed another OS. I set the original OS as the default and the newer OS as the secondary. The SSD is now and always has been the primary boot disk in BIOS. Again, it's an easily repeatable issue, upoon cold boot there is no option of OS displayed, it just boots right into the default OS. If I reboot then I see the 2 OSs.
Quote from: Bernhard on 08-July-11, 23:12:06
>>Posting Guide<<
Do you have more than one hard drive ? Did your boot priority change in the BIOS after your BIOS flash ? If so, change it back to the HDD/partition where you initially created the dual boot.

Dual boot issue on Satellite A200 - xp keeps freezing or crashing

Well being trying to install xp along side my Win7 installation (dual boot), but xp keeps freezing or crashing.
Ive made a few slipstream xp discs with sata drivers.
Still wont install proper.
So i tried install win7 on the second partition and that will install but is very slow and hangs for ages.
Im sure i got right sata drivers.(intel matrix storage manager from toshiba).
Can anyone shed some light?
i have toshiba Satellite a200
intel duo t5550
3gb ram

Hi
If you use SATA drivers then the SATA mode option in BIOS should be set to AHCI.
If you dont use SATA drivers then you have to set to compatible mode.
Here a nice description how to add SATA drivers

[SOLVED]Arch Linux, and Windows 8.1 Dual Boot issue

Hi guys. I recently bought a new laptop, and decided to run Arch Linux and Windows 8.1. I installed Windows 8.1 first as recommended by the beginners guide, and then installed Arch Linux. I made sure UEFI was enabled in my BIOS, and made sure everything was on a GPT partition. The install itself went fine. My laptop loads grub, and Arch Linux shows up and boots, but there is no option to boot into Windows 8.1. The only way I can boot into Windows 8.1 is by accessing my motherboard, and choosing to launch the windows boot manager instead of the grub launcher. How can I get Windows 8.1 to show up in grub? Thanks in advance guys.

Yeah just ran this after installing os prober

Yeah I'm sure I'm doing something wrong lol. I did not install OS-Prober. I think that's where the issue is. I'm missing the menu entry in grub.cfg right? Do I just run os prober or do I have to manually edit grub.cfg.
If that's not the case then here is what I did up until now. What I did was start with a blank SSD drive. I used cgdisk to make the disk use a GPT partitioning scheme. I installed windows 8.1 and checked in windows to make sure it boots into UEFI-GPT mode and it does. I then installed arch linux using the beginners guide. I made sure to use cgdisk to create any extra partitions, and installed GRUB to the efi partition that windows had created ( I did not format this partition ). I then finished the installation and rebooted, and Grub only shows arch linux. I don't think I'm dealing with anything MBR related. I made sure I used the GPT partitioning scheme....i think lol.
All you need to do is run os-prober then run grub-mkconfig. It should pick up Windows at that point.

Drivers for windows xp, Dual Booting issue

I have recently purchased a mac Book pro the 13 inch model, it came with lion installed by default this means boot camp only works for 7
So ive partioned my disk using boot camp and installed Xp onto the partioned part of the hd
Obviously the issue with this is that boot camp wont let me burn a disk for the drivers as it only supports 7
so really i need someway of getting the drivers, after googling for a while i couldnt find anything so if anyone has any suggestions it would be most appreciated.
Drivers would be for such thing as the wirelsess card, sound, graphics chip etc

XP is not supported in Lion or by the newer Apple computers. There are no XP drivers for lion or for the newer hardware. This issue has been discussed repeatedly in the Boot Camp forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

Lenovo Z585 Ubuntu 13.04 / Windows 8 Dual Boot Issue - Wake from Suspend?

As the title says. I have been having an issue with waking the screen on my laptop after going into suspend from Ubuntu 13.04. (Also, same problem on Ubuntu 12.10 and Fedora 18)
When I close the lid, the computer will go into standby normally. Lights go out, and power light just blinks. Upon opening the lid I get the lights on the computer to come back and the fans come back on, however the screen stays black.
I have the following:
Processor: AMD A10-4600M APU with Radeon HD Graphics x 4
Driver: Gallium 0.4 on AMD ARUBA
I have tried updating drivers through Ubuntu. I have tried modifying the backlight controls through editing the grub.
I have tried several re-installs of multiple versions of the listed Linux above.
No matter what I do, I have the same issue(s) on all three versions.
A seperate issue is a weak wifi signal using the installed Broadcom wifi antenna. Sitting next to the router I only get about 60% strength. If I plug in my Belkin USB wireless antenna I get 100%.
Any help would be great!
Thanks

HT5628 Dual Boot Issues

I installed Windows 8.1 alongside OS X Mavericks for school, now when I turn my computer on it automatically boots to Windows 8. Even when I try to go into recovery mode it defaults to the Windows Auto-Recovery. Any way to fix this?

Power down your computer. Power up your computer while pressing and holding the option key. When the boot manager appears select OSx. In OSx select your preferred default operating system to boot, Windows or OSx.

MacPro dual Xenon 2.66ghz boot issues

I'm the new owner of a used Mac Pro. it's a dual 2.66ghz Xenon and it seems to have a booting issue. I'm an Network Admin in the PC world and I have some Mac knowledge.
I have disc's for Lepard & Snow Lepard and possibly Tiger. I cannot boot to any of these disc's or enter the diagnostic tests. To make it clear I can hold option and select the disc, however, the CD drive will spin for a few minutes then bring me to a black screen with a cursor that I can move but nothing else.
I have tried to reset the PRAM manually also with no difference.
The really interesting part is that I put a SATA hard drive loaded with Windows XP from work in the computer and it booted right to XP- the proper drivers aren't there but it got me to the login screen in 16 color mode.
I put my MB's drive in it with SL loaded just for fun and got stuck at a beach ball if I recall correctly.
Today I just read about resetting the SMC and pulling the battery to reset the "real time clock". I'll try those later too, but do you guys have any sugestions?

If this behaviour is consistent I would say it is probably not the HD. Failing HDs tend to behave inconsistently.

T520 Upgrade to Win 10 Issues - BIOS, SSD, Dual Boot, Recovery

Lenovo T520 Purchased from Lenovo May 2012 using IBM employee discount Windows 7 Home Premium product key Belarc software - Dec 2012 27GBM-Y4QQC-JKHXW-D9W83-FJQKD Tag under battery HXVFW-CQGWQ-2W8BB-FXK8G-TJMCB Belarc software – Aug 2015 27GBM-Y4QQC-JKHXW-D9W83-FJQKD Created a system recovery CD since the PC came with no CD's. When I tried to use this recently it would not boot. Created a system repair CD later. Worked fine recently. Recently created a system recovery bootable USB on a 16GB SanDisk Cruzer. It also would not boot but web research shows that others have found this problem with this size and brand of USB. System board replaced March 2014New system board runs Computrace by Absolute Software to protect against theft. The password must be entered about once every 3 months during booting. Bios was updated afterwards and the software is still active. SSD installed in mSATA slot August 2015Original HD kept installed.New SSD slightly larger than old HD.Paragon software used to move Windows partition. This created a dual boot option. Had to run repair to fix dual boot even though everything run as administrator. Tried to install Windows 10 since Windows 7 had minor annoying issues that when researched the solution was to ignore since they do not cause problems.To prevent possible issues the HD was physically removed during the Windows 10 install.Saved Windows 10 to a 64GB USB.Booted USB successfully and installed ran for maybe an hour where I observed it doing the copy and then the install step.Completed successfully and a reboot was the next step.Reboot fails with “Missing Operating System”.Booted from USB to fix and neither of the above product keys work.Tried to use skip option and compatibility reports to restart from the SSD which does not work.If repair choosen from USB message received is “The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again.” Since I seemed out of options I reinstalled the HD and recloned it to the SSD to get the SSD again working. After doing the above I have multiple questions.It appears that the installation of the new system board caused the need to get a new Windows 7 product key. How do you do this?Is it true that a 16GB SanDisk Cruzer cannot be used booted from?How would one unlock a disk drive?Should I really keep the dual boot from the HD and the SSD as backup?And the important question – How should I proceed to get a successful installation of Windows 10 on the SSD?

Thinkpad t520 dual boot win 7 and arch + optimus issue

--today I got my first laptop and first thinkpad..... thinkpad t520 with the following specifications:-
intel i5 2520M - HD+ AG display (1600*900) - 4 gigs of ram - nvidia optimus -Hard disk 500Gigs 7200rpm - windows 7 and some other windows applications unfortunately a friend bought it for me so he bought it with alot of applications
--the problem is that I've been using arch linux for a year now, and I love it, no experience with laptops, and I intend to keep windows because I purchased for it and I want dual boot with arch so what is the right disk partitioning to install linux and keep windows untouched............ in my old desktop it was only arch and it was like that:
128 mb ext2 boot
2048 swap
50000 mb / ext4 and the rest of the disk for home folder, now with dual boot what is the right partitoning?
the second question Does bumblebee work fine with archlinux?
how to access bios?
Is there any thread to help to install arch on thinkpad t520 in details ?
Do I leave the battery always installed or what?
Last edited by big mac (2012-02-04 13:46:40)

the Arch partition should take some space from the windows7_os partition. You should keep the Lenovo_Recovery partition if you don't have a Windows installation DVD, or if you think you may want to reset your hard drive to its original state someday. In my laptop I have completely removed it.
I have a dual boot of Archlinux/Windows7, and I use the following partitioning
/dev/sda1 ntfs 60.0GiB /media/C (for windows os)
/dev/sda2 (extended partition)
/dev/sda3 swap 4.0GiB swap
/dev/sda4 ext4 30.0GiB root
/dev/sda5 ext4 30.0GiB home
/dev/sda6 ntfs 376GiB /media/D
I use the last partition as a shared partition between Arch and Windows, for storing music and videos... I use it also for installing games, so that I can play them either from windows or from Arch by using wine.
I'm not saying this is the best way to do it, but this has been working for me, also I don't use a separate /boot partition, I used to have it when I had multiple Linux distros, but with Arch alone I don't find it necessary.

Dual Boot Network Issue

Hi there,
I just built a new computer and I've been having the following problem. It's the first time that I actually dual boot systems on a desktop and I keep encountering the following problem. When I boot into windows(XP,7 or 8 tried them all) the network card simply stops working. When I mean it stops working I mean that it just sits there. I can get a valid IP and get all the network information, but when I try to ping anything, including the router it simply doesn't work. The only time it actually works is the first time I install windows. I can reboot and it still works as long as I don't start linux it will work.
Since I only use windows for gaming re-installing windows has been the option I've taken, but its kind of time consuming. The only solution so far is adding a network card that I had from my previous build and adding it. The first time I booted into windows it worked just fine. On reboot, still using this secondary card windows will no longer work with it. Same thing, gets IP and dns info but no connection anywhere. I switch the cable to the other port (not used in linux before the reboot) and it works.
Here are the two network cards in play:
Built in one:
Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection
PCI Card:
Realtek PCI GBE Family Controller
Since switching the cable instead of reinstalling windows everytime is a better option I've been doing that lately but what could be going on. Any additional information I can provide?
Thanks for your time.
I know my way around linux and windows so ask me anything and Ill get back to you ASAP.

Replying to my own question, a bit of lateral thinking led to me configuring the unused partition as swap, which Solaris then saw as a Solaris disk, well, after deleting the 2gb partition. The install happened and I am now in the process of trying to get grub to see all three OSes again.

Running Dual boot windows 8 and win 7 pro with xp mode installed!! I love it!!

It took over 2 days to figure out how to adjust the bios to get my win 7 pro DVD to boot and install dual boot on this GREAT MACHINE!!
Step 1: using diskmgmt.msc you have to shring the C partition. I shrunk it so I had 80GB remaining as unallocated space.
Step 2: You have to enter the machine Bios adn set the BIOS to Both and UEFI as first
Step 3: Connect your usb dvd
Step 4: Put your win 7 pro dvd in the usb dvd drive
Step 5: Reboot your machine and when it starts press F12 to get the boot menu and select the usb dvd drive then press enter
The machine restarts
Message on screen says press a key to boot from cd/dvd
Press space and it boots up the win 7 pro DVD
After files copy and load the setup screen asks to accept the agreement and where to install win 7
BE SURE TO SELECT THE 80GB location
Then follow thru the win 7 prompts to load it.
When the machine restarts you will see a dual boot screen with Windows 7 on top as first selection and Windows 8 below it as 2nd selection.
Make sure to hit enter with windows 7 selected
The win 7 installation completes.
You will see many items with drivers not installed dont fret.
You can load most of the drivers by highlighting the device in control panel/device manager and pick update driver then select BROWSE for DRIVER and be sure to put in drive D:\ which is now the windows 8 drive and hit search.
Many of the windows 8 drivers installed with no issue.
The Realtek driver was an exception .. goto to the lenovo site and pick the x100e tablet and download the LAN driver from there about (4MB). Copy it to flash drive and install it in win 7 from the .exe file. The driver for LAN will install sucessfully. The version of the driver is 7.46 something the 7.11 versions do not workl.
I have only 3 drivers that I could not find - 2 list as unknown and are related to ACPI or power management and 1 lists as USB controller but all the USB stuff works without it.
Be sure to either shutdown the system or sign out of win 8 when your done so you get the dual boot menu. If you shutdown while logged into win 8 the next time you start up it will go right to win 8 until you signout and restart.
Just to let you know an easy way to shutdown is go to the desktop and press ALT + FN + F4 and a shutdown menu comes up on the desktop.
Once win 7 pro is installed you can download the XP mode free from Microsoft and install it.
This is of course AFTER you have ACTIVATED WINDOWS 7 ONLINE with YOUR ACTIVATION KEY(you supply).
ENJOY! This is the BEST machine I ever had!

It's been many, many years since I don't do dual boot anymore. Don't find the reason to do it, either. Different kinds of virtualization should be enough. Anyway...

Dual boot win7 & 8 on t430

Newbie here needing some help. Just got my t430 fresh out of the box and I want to dual boot win 7 and 8. The installed system was 7, but came with windows 8 recovery disks in the box. I thought dual boot would be pretty straightforward, but I haven't been able to get it going. Any advice?

Hey there giovanni8807, welcome to the forums!
I found some perhaps helpful starting information for you to look over that will help guide you into the process. It is important to note, that you check to see what drivers and utilities are available for your machine for Windows 8. This will give you an idea of what is and what might not be available to function completely in that particular OS environment. Of course, take advantage of the Lenovo Solution Center for driver and utility updates for your machine once getting into Windows 8.
