Dual Boot,XP Pro Ok but Win 98SE cannot boot

I have a dual boot system, with 2 primary partitions, and bootmagic installed. My boot disk is on raid 0 on the raptor drives.
Installed Win 98SE first, than created second primary partition, installed win xp pro. Installed bootmagic on 1st primary partition, so can dual boot.
XP installed and running without any problem. XP runs fine with either ACPI enabled or disabled.
For Win 98 SE, with ACPI disabled, with USB enabled, system hangs while booting up. If I disable USB, I can boot to win 98 SE. During initial install, the first drivers for my board was the Intel INF. I suspected the board and brought the board to local tech support. They showed me that they could install win 98 SE without any problem. Board, cpu, hsf and rams were the mine. They used a single hard disk and a single CD Rom. Therefore, cannot RMA board.
I am suspecting that because I am using the Promise and Intel Raid, more irqs had to be shared and XP Pro could handle that but Windows 98 SE cannot handle that. I only have three add on boards, the Storm 2 DV editing card, ATI AGP graphics card and a V.92 modem card. Nothing else. I tried to do some fiddling in the bios for the IRQs but does not help. The only way to boot into Win 98 SE was to disable USB.
Could someone give me some pointers on what I could try out further?
Thank you.

I had rewritten the information regarding my problem and added in more detail and sent it out to MSI. Hopefully, they will respond (quite unlikely) . Here's it:

XP installed and running without any problem. XP runs fine with either APIC enabled or disabled.
For Win 98 SE, with APIC disabled, with USB enabled, system hangs while booting up. If I disable USB, I can boot to win 98 SE but my Intel Gigabit Ethernet will have an exclamation mark. Getting newer drivers and Intel INF did not help. During initial install, the first drivers for my board was the Intel INF. I suspected the board and brought the board to local tech support. They showed me that they could install win 98 SE without any problem. Board, cpu, hsf and rams were the mine. They used a single hard disk and a single CD Rom. Therefore, cannot RMA board.
I decided to disable the Intel Gigabit Ethernet in Win 98 SE. After that, I looked into the properties and realized that some memory allocated for the Intel Gigabit Ethernet are being used by other system resources. If I disable Serial Comm Port 2 and enable USB in bios, I can boot into windows and drivers detection for USB will proceed until it gets to “ Intel ® 82801EB USB Universal Host Controller – 24D7 “ and hangs my system. I cannot check if the problem is caused by IRQs or Memory allocation.
I am suspecting that because I am using the Promise and Intel Raid, more irqs had to be shared, memory allocations were more demanding and XP Pro could handle that but Windows 98 SE cannot handle that. When I try to do some tweaking in Windows 98 SE properties for the Intel Gigabit Ethernet, I was prompted that I cannot make changes. I guess the board, at bios level, fixed all the irq and memory allocations and so Windows 98 SE cannot make any changes.
Anyone can advise what I can do within the bios so that I can do further tweaking on memory resources allocation? I know that I can do something on IRQ and DMA but seems nothing can be done for memory allocation.
Hope one of you have some helpful information.

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...

Is there any possible way I can dual boot Windows with OSX 10.7.2 on a MacBook Pro 15' from 2006?

Hello,
I am new to this forums.
I have searched about dual boot win/mac, but couldn't find a clear answer, so I decided to post this now.
I run a MacBook Pro 15' from 2006 (Intel based) and have upgraded it to OSX 10.7.2 Lion.
I have tried to install windows 7 on a small (20GB) partition by using Bootcamp, but then I've received a notice saying that there was no windows support software available. However, I did install Windows 7 Professional by unchecking that box. After the installation I have downloaded the windows support software and tried to install it but then I've received a notice saying that I can't install it on this machine.
Could you please give me any suggestions on how to dual boot win/mac, if it is possible at all using this machine? And how to safely go back to where I was before (with a single mac OSX 10.7.2 partition)?
Thanks.

This problem has been solved as I just needed to download Boot Camp 4.
Can I delete this post?

Need some help about Win 8.1 and linux with a dual boot

Hi!
I have a Lenovo z50-70 notebook and I have a Windows 8.1 on it. (The one which was shipped with this notebook...)
My concerns are Intalling Linux as a dual boot and loosing Windows 8.1.
As I am not familiar to Win 8.1, the product key is in the ?BIOS? and there's a lot of partitions...
If I install Linux Ubuntu (latest version) as a dual boot by manually making the partitions, etc. and then if I lose my Windows 8.1 system, how can I get it back?
I've made a backup of the system to the portable hdd but I don't know can I restore it, as I have no win installation disc and I am not sure if i can restore win 8.1 from the backup by using random win 8 installation disc that I've made from the downloaded ISO (for e.g. Win 8.1 pro iso from internet)...
I need a Linux distro for developing my Android ROM but I don't want to lose that Win 8.1 OS from my notebook. So.. What should I do?

Did you do a full disc backup of the C: Drive using a backup tool other than windows? If you did, then the recover of that partition will be up to your backup software.
If worse comes to worse, you can use the novo button to restore your computer to what it was like when it came from the factory. But there really is nothing to worry about. Create your new partition and just make sure that you install Linux to that partition. Make sure it is not the same size as any other partition, that way even if the Linux installer does not show the volume labels, you can tell which partition you want to install Linux in just by the size.

Win XP/Win 7 dual boot question and

My replacement motherboard for my crapped out Dell one that was a replacement, crapped out the other week and it was tested with a new power supply to no avail. it was also tested in a shortcut, (connecting the two wires directly, the two that "short out" that turns on the power) and that didnt work either.. (something like that)
My options are:
buy another replacment motherboard and hope it stays working longer than the six months the other did
Buy a new computer and use my old hard drive
thus arising this question:
since the new computer will have Windows 7 on it, can I use that as a slave drive and use my primary drive (not going to loose my data and stuff) I have the primary drive as XP but the new one will use 7, when I put in the win 7 drive as a slave drive, will it boot to 7 or XP and would I have the option to dual boot, even if they are seperate drives..
I think I am writing it a confusing way but I hope you can understand what I am getting at....
Simply put--
I have XP drive
I buy new computer it has Win 7 drive
Xp drive becomes master, win 7 becomes slave
Will XP boot or Win 7 boot when its set as the slave drive? what about XP/7 dual boot? they are on seperate drives, will it let me dual boot?
I want my XP drive to boot.
I hope you can understand that..
If I can, I would like to reformat the win7 drive and just use that for storage. is that possioble?
Ethan
I just want some help or even an opinion, is that so hard to ask for?

Okay I read through your post a few times and I am still a bit confused about what your setup looks like. I am going to assume you bought a new computer with Windows 7 on it thus you DID NOT replace the motherboard on the old one. With that assumption, then your answer would be no, only Windows 7 would boot (and it might have some problems if you have it set as the slave drive). Windows XP from your old hard drive would not boot because simply put, the BIOS will not detect a proper boot.ini file and the hardware configuration (partitions and/or disk types) does not match up.
If you want to set up a dual boot, you would have to install the secondary hard drive (or partition the primary one) and perform a destructive OS restore on it AND find the drivers for it (if the manufacturer of the computer even supports it). When I used to work for the Geek Squad, numerous clients asked about this and the general consensus was that the Geek Squad strongly opposed it because of the drivers. Being that XP and 7 are a generation apart, the chances of the manufacturer of the computer or motherboard releasing drivers for both was unlikely. Sometimes the client would opt to have it done anyway but my former Precinct would always warn them that some features may not work correctly.
If you want Windows XP and Windows 7, I suggest the XP Mode that Windows Pro and Ultimate offers. You literally run Windows XP inside a window of Windows 7.

Dual boot – Win XP / Win 7 – activation problems

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...

Here is the answer without having to join the site where the answer lies. The stuff that was removed by me were things that I felt were inappropriate for an Adobe Forum. They do not affect the ability to perform the fix:
So you installed Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection or any of its other applications, and now you can’t even open up any of these programs. You’re probably receiving the now semi-infamous “Licensing for this product has expired” pop up error.
This error will more than likely affect the use of the following programs:
Adobe InDesign CS4
Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
Adobe Illustrator CS4
Adobe Flash CS4 Professional
Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
Adobe Fireworks CS4
Adobe Contribute CS4
Adobe After Effects CS4
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
Adobe Soundbooth CS4
Adobe OnLocation CS4
Adobe Encore CS4
Don’t worry, because some guys over at who knows where got the fix that will save you many hours of headaches. The problem lies within the “amtlib.dll” file in each of the CS4 application directories. However, downloading a simple fix and updating each of the files with a newer one can solve this problem.
Step 1:
Download this file it includes both amtlib.dll files the second file(64bit) is only to be added to photoshop (64bit) folder the rest use the regular amtlib.dll file:If you download this file skip to step 3 !
Code:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WZKC1K7Q
other files for step 2 using the " removed by si conehead ".
Personally i like doing in manually its only like 17 files you need to change:
Code:
removed by si conehead
Step 2:
Run the (removed by si conehead) and allow for the file to be copied over to all the directories. This should fix all your problems.
If the above two steps didn’t work, try the following:
Step 3:
Search for: “amtlib.dll” in the Adobe folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\.
Step 4:
Replace all the “amtlib.dll” files in each of the Adobe folders with the file in the downloaded fix.
ONLY
do the following steps if the previous steps didn’t work for you.
Step 5:
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc, open the “hosts” file there with Notepad.
Step 6:
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 practivate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sea.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wwis-dubc1-vip60.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sjc0.adobe.com
::1 localhost
Step 7:
Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache
and delete the file “cache.DB”
Step 8:
Enter a new serial number for the applications and open up any Adobe Creative Suite program.
Now everything should be working fine.

T410: How to dual boot Win 7 with Ubuntu?

I would like to keep my original win 7 config, but to add the option to dual boot into ubuntu 10.10 as my primary OS. Anyone had experience on how to go about doing this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok, if this is what your asking; I have Win7 and I use the fingerprint reader to log into windows. I installed ubuntu using those steps listed above and it does the partition itself safely. And the fingerprint reader still works for windows. No issues. Just make sure (looking at picture 3 and 4) that you select install alongside others OS's, on picture 4 you can see a slider bar. The first section will show you your windows partition, the 2nd part is what you can move to choose how much space you want ubuntu to partition for itself. So no need to partition it your self.

Dual Boot Win 8.1 & Win 7

I've just taken delivery of a 15-p011na laptop.
This has Windows 8.1 & a 1TB HDD with 5 apparent partitions seen with AOMEI Partition assistant as follows:
*: WINRE NTFS 650.00MB capacity 421.48MB used
*: FAT32 260.00MB capacity 117.95MB used system
*: Other 128.00MB capacity 0.00MB used
C:Windows NTFS 908.78GB capacity 42.31GB used Boot
D:Recovery NFTS 21.71GB capacity 19.57GB used
I would like to create a dual boot with Windows 7 so that I can copy my Windows 7 (32 bit) drive from my old computer to another partition. I have tried shrinking the size of C partition and then installing Windows 7 32 bit on the unused partition. However, I get an error saying that the drive is GPT and I've read that the only way around this is to convert the whole drive to MBR which can be done on the fly with a utility like AOMEI Partition Assistant.
However, MBR will only recognise up to 4 partitions and I would require 6 with the shrunk C partition so can I get rid of the 3 small partitions or will this affect the drive? I have already made a copy of the restore software onto DVD's.
Failing that perhaps I can boot from my old Windows 7 drive as an external USB drive but any attempt to boot from it just crashes and I've tried using Paragon Adaptive resore but the USB drive isn't recognised.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
TIA.
Geoff.

Given what the cable does and what device manager looks like it is a driver issue. Their driver. Your best bet is to contact the developer BUT I do wonder if you have tried re-installing the driver in compatibility mode for win 7
To install in compatibility mode do the following:
Right click the installer>properties>compatibility>choose OS

(works in vista, win 7, win 8, and win 10)

Dual Boot Windows 7 & XP Pro

I have a new X61, 160GB drive that came with Vista. It's been upgraded to W7. My office uses software that is not compatible with W7, therefore I'd like to create a partition and create a dual boot to XP. I have about 70GB free. Question, does dual booting on this PC cause any issues? Will I have to reload all the drivers for the ThinkPad features? Would it more prudent to convert the entire OS to XP Pro? Thanks, Chigger5788

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...

Can my Macbook Pro support dual boot and Secret World

Hi
My MacBook Pro has the following specs
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
I was wondering if it can first of all, support dual boot, because I would like to play a Windows based MMORPG. And I was wondering if there are risks involved? I'm also worried because I like Mac's secure delete trash function and won't having a Windows platform affect that?
Furthermore, can it support playing Secret World with such specs?
Secret World is an MMORPG I'm not sure what the minimum requirements are.. It doesn't say, but anyone has a guess?

Check Apple menu > About this Mac for processor type and speed.
I can tell you what you should see - C2D at 2.16 or 2.33 GHz. Those machines have a 3 GB max stated by Apple, but will actually use ~3.2 GB if you have 2 x 2 GB installed, and you get the (marginal) benefit of having a matched pair. In that case, it's also 'normal' for About this Mac to show 4 GB even though the memory controller can only access a little over 3 GB.

I am running a dual boot system with Windows XP Pro SP2 on one partition and Windows Vista Ultimate on the other. Both operating systems seem to be operating properly except for an odd situation with Dual Core Center. In Windows XP Dual Core Center only indicates the Mainboard properties - No VGA, whereas on Windows Vista Ultimate Dual Core Center indicates both VGA & Motherboard properties. I have installed MSI Nvidia drivers for the Graphics card & also tried straight Nvidia drivers for the card but it has made no difference VGA will not show up in XP. Yet on installing Dual Core Center on the Vista partition VGA showed up immediately. Can anyone help.
If anyone can come up with an answer to this it would be a real help.
Many Thanks in advance.

have you try to update/install the dual core driver from amd?

Attempted to install windows 7 for dual boot but OSX installation now missing???

I've tried to install Wndows 7 on my macbook air for dual boot but got the kernal error on boot.
I loaded from the CD again and it sucessfully installed win 7 but when I start the macbook air up it only appears to have windows installed?
How can I get my OSX back?

For some odd reason when you use bootcamp to install the second OS bootcamp is defaulted as the primary OS you will need to hold option key to select the apple OS then in the sys preference under startup disk select apple as primary.

Cannot get to dual-boot screen after Win 8.1 upgrade

Hello,
I have an iMac with Mavericks. Recently installed Win 8 to dual-boot. Instrux then were to hold OPT button during startup to be presented with options for OS with which to boot.
Since Win 8.1 upgrade there is no way to get to that prompt. MS/Win help topics not useful (unsurprisingly). I have the original install disk but would far prefer to save my current config of Mav. Thoughts for workaround?
Cheers,
Michael C

holding down option key at bootup not giving you the bootmenu have nothing to do with win8.1
even if one never installed anything in terms bootcamp at all then holding down the option key should give the option between osx and the restore to last clean osx version
if you don't get the option then I'd say the cause is not windows as the menu is handled by the bootloader which is before windows takes over

Macbook Pro - 2 Hard Drives - Dual Boot OS OSX + Windows

Hello guys, I've been facing an issue here
I bought an SSD 2 years ago and changed the original MBP HD. I did a fresh install of OSX while still having my optical drive. Everything is fine with the OSX installation.
Recently I bought an enclosure and installed the original MBP HD drive into the optical drive slot. Now i have two HD's on my MBP (Early 2011 - Unibody Model)
The configuration for the Hard Drives is as follows:
SSD Drive - disk 0 - OS X Running fine
HD Drive - disk 1 - clean formatted to accommodate Windows 7 installation
I started the BootCamp Utility formated the second hard drive to install windows from bootable USB. Everything works fine until the point where the Windows installation actually expands the files. I always get the same error, that windows cannot be installed on that drive and any changes will be reverted back to original settings.
Several hours after researching the whole thing this is what I've got:
The error that I am getting is for the configuration of the drives, a fix to this problem is to take out my SSD, install the old HD in its original position, install windows normally, put my SSD back in its position and put the old HD in the optical drive and thus I will have the Dual Boot of two OS in two different HD's. That's really really awful as I have to take appart again the whole thing and swap between the drives till the process is finished. This is because The EFI boot + Windows to be installed require the disk that windows to be installed to be on main slot - disk 0.
My question here is, is there any fix to the BootCamp assistant to let me install windows on the hard drive that it is located on the disk 1 position?
Moreover is there any way to install windows through the environment of OSX with the use of a VM, but, the windows to be a bootable OS rather than a VM bootable image? (on disk 1 - optical drive SATA port). - What I mean by that is, while running OS X normally on disk 0 run a VM software that will mimic the environment of a bootloader so that I can install windows on disk 1, but after I shut down my computer, windows should be accessible on disk 1 as a normal installed OS.
Sorry for the long post and thank you very much for your time, any suggestions would be really helpful.

You can install Parallels or Fusion, either will work. When you setup either Parallels or fusion you can tell it to use your already installed Boot Camp installation of Windows as its target guest operating system.
You would then just boot into OSx, start your VM (Parallels or Fusion), then you'll have access to both OSx and Windows without having to reboot.
I have this setup and two monitors. I have my Windows running on my external monitor and OSx running on my Macbook Pro monitor at the same time.
Beware that you will need to re-register Windows to get a second key. This is free and easily done either online or by calling the Microsoft registration number. The reason for needing a second key is that Windows, although only installed once in your Boot Camp partition sees the virtual hardware created by your virtual machine and thinks it has been reinstalled on a new computer.
