Dual Boot on Windows 8 Embedded Handheld

Hello,
Not sure if this is the right forum or not. If not, can someone on this forum help divert the question to the correct forum?
We are trying to achieve dual booting on Windows 8 embedded Handheld on a Bluebird device. We have not been able to achieve it so far. Thought of asking for help from the community. Has any one been able to achieve this on a Bluebird device? http://www.mypidion.com/product/product_tab.asp?bmenu=1&t_idx=496
If it is possible, can someone please guide us through the process?
Appreciate any help provided.
Thank you.

  • When dual-booting with Windows 7, Mac OSX time settings reset every reboot.

    I have recently installed Windows 7 Professional on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro via BootCamp (Running Mavericks BTW). Everything runs grean and have not experienced any problems on the Windows side, but I have a problem with Mac OSX now. When I am using Windows 7, and I reboot into Mac OSX, I find that my time settings are wrong. It seems like my time zone has changed, because the date is correct, as well as the minutes, but the hour is always wrong. When I go to Date & Time in System Preferences, and my time zone is correct, but I still have to chage the hour in the time. Any ideas as to why this is happening and how to stop it would be greatly appreciated.

    If you dual boot your Windows PC with OS X or Linux, you may have experienced a problem in which your clocks reset themselves incorrectly every time you boot into Windows. Here's a simple registry edit to fix that.
    Essentially, the incorrect clock setting happens because OS X and Linux use GMT time while Windows tries to synchronize with your local time zone, getting confused when you reboot between the two. Apple's own Boot Camp drivers for Windows are supposed to fix this problem, though some users have noticed that it still happens even with the drivers installed, and some Linux users are left out in the cold. Furthermore, if you have a Hackintosh, you can't install the Boot Camp drivers, so you'll need to find another way around the problem.
    To fix it, just hit Start and type regedit.exe in the search box. Hit Enter and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation. Right click anywhere in the right pane and hit New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name it RealTimeIsUniversal, then double click on it and give it a value of 1.
    Lastly, reboot into OS X, then reboot back into Windows. You should now notice that your clock actually displays the correct time.

  • Arch does not show up in Grub when dual booting with windows 8

    I just installed Arch linux, dual booting with windows 8 using the beginners guide[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide] itself. Now Grub is installed and i can only find Windows 8 and I cannot find Arch. Is there a way I can find if arch linux has been installed and show up in Grub.
    Sorry, I am a newbie, but i chose to post this topic here and not newbie corner as it is installation related.
    My windows 8 is installed on /dev/sda1 with ntfs partition type. Arch Linux is installed on /dev/sda6 and it is ext4 partition. I dont know if this info helps.  I am using Thinkpad R61

    I am sorry, yes you are too late. I have wiped windows 8 and performed clean install. No regrets. And as a matter of fact, I did grub-config and then installed os-prober. That could be the problem. Thanks. I will try this again another time.

  • [SOLVED] RTC and dual booting with Windows 8/8.1

    I am planning ahead of installing Arch on a windows 8.1 laptop, and need to understand whether or not the known Windows registry hack to get windows to use UTC for the RTC is still valid for Windows 8/8.1?  I have been searching via google and the usual sources of information, but it is not clear to me if there are problems doing this, specifically if arch is dual booted with Windows 8/8.1 rather than older versions of the MS OS. Certainly I have used the technique without any problem in the past when dual booting Windows XP with Arch on several different machines.
    Does anyone have personal experience with doing this on a Windows 8 or 8.1 machine and can report here on whether it works successfully or not?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Since there were no replies at this point I thought I would just go ahead and implement the registry hack on the Windows 8.1 O/S in the laptop and see if Windows behaves.  It appears to be OK, with the displayed time being correct after reboot, and time synchronisation remaining fine with no problems seen in the displayed time, although I won't be able to read the RTC directly until I have completed the Arch install in the coming week or two.  I now don't foresee any issues with the time synchronisation between booting Arch and Windows 8.1 so I will mark this as solved.
    Since the RTC is now in UTC then normal clock config in Arch using chrony should perform normally once the install is done and the new system set up.

    yes you need the updates and patches.
    Only some of the drivers that Windows will automatically install at times
    and always make sure to insure it is using restore points
    do all the maintenance andsuch as normal
    use MS Security Essentials for AV is really top notch
    Clean disk space
    Use WinClone new program to inisure you have a restore image

    lower your font size unless you have difficulty
    MS Security Essentials is excellent
    Then again maybe time to investigate Windows 8 RP (which uses Defender)

    Windows has a software updater built into Windows and when you install the Boot Camp drivers then it will install an Apple software updater also. I believe Windows is set to automatically download and install your updates as does the Apple software Updater. They both will update the individual files it needs to periodically.
    "Microsoft updates" and "Windows updates" are basically the same thing in Windows. Are you talking about the "Windows support software" when downloading from Boot Camp Assistant? Apple installs a software updater for it's Boot Camp drivers in Windows 7 so you can do it manually or automatically.
    The "Hot Fix" your referring to is only for certain motherboards built from other Windows only computer manufacturers and does NOT pertain to any Apple computers.
    If you have a problem with your computer then it's best to ask a specific question so we can help better.

  • Windows Mobile 5.0 to Windows Embedded HandHeld 6.5 Classic (Form OK Button Missing)

    Hi,
       I have a Windows Mobile 5.0 app that works fine but when I deploy it to a Windows Embedded HandHeld 6.5 Classic device the 'OK' button in the top right hand corner of the form has disappeared.
    Any idea's
    Thanks
    Paul.
    Paul Wainwright

    The following MSDN threads explain the cause of the problem and provide some guidance on how to change your application to resolve the problem:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/6cda1576-2cf7-4b2a-9e57-0c55f1c2f500/ok-button-dissapears-on-windows-mobile-65?forum=netfxcompact

    Another solution, instead of changing your application, is for the user to simply press the physical Ok button on the device's keyboard (assuming that the device has an Ok button).  For example, some rugged devices such as Intermec or Motorola
    have a physical keyboard with an Ok button, or another physical button can be re-mapped to act as the Ok button.  Contact your device supplier if you need to do this.

  • Dual Boot with Windows ME

    i am very new to all this stuff. Can someone please guide me on how to go about installing Unix so that it also dual boots with windows ME.
    i am planning on doing some unix work..and installing oracle and learning oracle in the bargain at home. do u think this is the best way to go. any suggestions/guidance is appreciated.
    many many thanks

    I'd consider buying a second, inexpensive PC for Solaris. You can get a $20 mechanical switch that will let you share a single monitor. If two keyboards and mice are inconvenient, you can buy a KVM (keyboard-video-mouse) switch. If you just want to hack around, it's much more convenient to have two PCs. (IMHO)

  • Separately encrypt dual-boot system: Windows+Arch

    Hey guys, I want to use a dual-boot system: Windows 7 + Arch (windows being first on hdd). I would also want to encrypt them, but make it so I could access them with different passwords, like if I enter arch, i woudn't be able to see contents of windows, and vice-versa. I need arch to be on LVM, ext4 filesystem(the latter not so important, if it's trouble).
    I've come accross this guide: https://aprescott.com/posts/dual-bootin … encryption which describes windows 7 encrypted with truecrypt + arch(on lvm) encrypted with dm-crypt+luks, grub legacy is put inside MBR, truecrypt bootloader resides on linux /boot, copied from MBR after truecrypt installed it there and then replaced with GRUB. With described approach there is windows boot partition and linux boot partition which remain unencrypted.
    1) The question is, is it possible to do something similar but make those boot partitions encrypted too? so the only thing unencrypted would be MBR? I've read that people used Disc cryptor and with it easily encrypted windows boot partition with no trouble. What about linux boot partition? Maybe there is a way not to make separate /boot for linux, and encrypt the whole lvm partition with truecrypt(so truecrypt would install it's bootloader into MBR and i could save it and use just like in the link i gave above)?
    2)Another question is for people using truecrypt for whole disk encryption. When you do full disk encryption or system encryption(for example Windows), the only thing left unencrypted is MBR? Is the boot sector of windows partition encrypted too? So in this case it maybe possible to keep MBR(at least the bootloader, without partition table) on separate media.
    3)Also, in case of full disk encryption, is partition table encrypted too?
    and please, I don't want questions as "Why do you need it this way?". I just want to have full disk encryption, so if the MBR is the only thing unencrypted I could keep it on separate media and boot from it(Disc Cryptor allows such feature), but I also need the system to be split into windows and linux parts, accessible by different passwords. And I dont think the idea of using truecrypt hidden partition and hidden os is good in here.
    Thanks in advance.

    3)Also, in case of full disk encryption, is partition table encrypted too?
    Take a look at diagram #1 . Mbr and partition table will be not encrypted. You don't want that: there are no sensitive data in there; both windows and linux need to access partition table to know where are partitions on disk; mbr must contain some not encrypted code that will be loaded by bios, since that code can't be encrypted it can be modified (potentially in such a way to hide the modifications from the system), as long as you boot from this device there is no way around it without "secure boot" and mbr singing.
    I believe windows boot partition and windows partition can be encrypted with truecrypt (you need to check that, I don't know truecrypt). There still will be some minimal not encrypted bootloader in order to ask you for for key / passphrase, so it is not 100% secure (someone could replace it; search for "evil maid" attack by Joanna Rutkowska).
    Linux bootloader (I forgot about it on diagram) and linux boot partition can't be encrypted (again, unless you do: truecrypt -> grub2 / syslinux -> linux, and there still will be not encrypted minimal bootloader).
    You see, the problem is always the same: you can't boot from encrypted device. You need something that will decrypt it first.
    I just want to have full disk encryption, so if the MBR is the only thing unencrypted I could keep it on separate media and boot from it(Disc Cryptor allows such feature), but I also need the system to be split into windows and linux parts, accessible by different passwords.
    In order to secure boot partitions / bootloaders one could separate encryption and bootloaders, keep data on encrypted disk and keep bootloaders code at secure location (i.e. on pen drive attached to key chain). Take a look at diagram #2:
    /dev/sda /dev/usb-stick
    +--------------------------------------+ +--------------------------+
    |(mbr and partitions table) | |(mbr and partitions table)|
    | +----------------------------------+ | | +----------------------+ |
    | |other data / partitions | | | |linux boot partition | |
    | +----------------------------------+ | | | +------------------+ | |
    | |(lvm on luks) | | | | |grub / syslinux | | |
    | | +------------------------------+ | | | | |kernel | | |

    | | |swap | | |
    | | +------------------------------+ | |
    | +----------------------------------+ |
    +--------------------------------------+
    In this setup you boot your system from usb stick. Bios will load and execute mbr and bootloader from usb stick (and you know its good since you have it physically secured), it should decrypt luks and boot system. You still can run windows with truecrypt using /dev/sda as boot device. I know I didn't exactly answered your questions.
    1)so this way i can leave mbr(including partition table) empty on hdd, while having them on usb stick? good. I can put copy of mbr with truecrypt loader on that usb stick too along with /boot partition just like in the link i gave above? So there would be NOTHING left unencrypted on my hdd? i like it.
    2)My main goal is that hdd would look like blank if someone would want to check its contents. I've heard using Luks leaves some traces in the volume header?(it's not possible to use truecrypt for full linux system encryption too, right?)
    3)How do i properly put /boot on usb stick? Also will there be any troubles updating arch with /boot being on separate media?
    thanks!

  • Agentry with Intermec CN51, Microsoft Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5

  • How do i set up a dual boot with windows

    I am trying to set up a dual boot system with both the snow leapard and win 7,  I have partioned the drive and have windows booting up.  How do I get the drivers for the machine that windows will recognize.  I am researching this for my dad his I mac is one of the new 21 inch models.

    If you want dual boot you would use Boot Camp which is built into Snow Leopard. You will need a license of WIndows 7. You can install it by using Boot Camp Assistant however prior to doing so you probably should look at how it's correctly done, here is a You Tube Boot Camp instructions video I would recommend you watch first.
    If your dad wants to run Windows 7 & OS X simultaneously then he will need either Parallels or VMWare Fusion. Both are virtualization applications that allow one to run Windows and OS X side by side. This is a great solution unless he is a gamer or needs to run graphics intensive applications like CAD/CAM or 3D Games or anything that is 3D intensive. For all other types of applications virtualization is an excellent solution.
    If you choose the Boot Camp solution there is a forum specifically for that which is where I'd recommend posting questions.

  • Restoring dual boot os - windows 7 on MacBook Pro year 2011

    Hi, I have a question to ask, I bought MacBook Pro in 2011, and extended the warranty till year 2015. I wish to send my MacBook back to apple service center to restore my windows os. Forgot to mention, dual boot os is window 7 and default Mac OS. So is it possible to do so? Thanks. Any charges? The MacBook still under warranty.

    Where did you extend the warranty on a 2011 MBP to 2015?
    It is my understanding that Apple will only extend the warranty for a total of three years which would make it 2014 rather then 2015.
    As far as the Apple Service Center fixing BootCamp goes, you will need to discuss that with them. We have no connection to them what so ever and can't speak for them.

    I am a complete n00b with Mac. The director at my company requested me to set up her MacBook (running Mac OSX 10.4.11) to dualboot with Windows Vista 32 bit. I have been searching Google and I cannot find anything.
    Can someone please run me through what I'll need and how exactly to do it?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Check out the BootCamp set up guide before installing Windows on a Mac.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/bootcampinstall-setup.pdf
    As Kurt mentions... you must be running Leopard 10.5.x to do this.
