How can I dual boot Windows 7 on a MBR disk and Windows 8 on GPT Disk with UEFI BIOS

I have recently build a computer. I bought a Seagate 3TB HDD which I planned to install Windows 8.1 Pro on and I also bought another Seagate 1TB HDD which I planned to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I wanted to dual boot the two systems.
However, I want to format the 3TB HDD into GPT and format the 1TB HDD into MBR mode.
Can this be done in a UEFI BIOS environment?
Windows 7 Ultimate X64 ---------- MBR 1TB HDD
Windows 8.1 Pro X64--------------- GPT 3TB HDD
Please reply soon, because I am in a hurry to solve this problem.
My family members need a working PC at home :)

Please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can I dual-boot Windows 7 with pre-Installed Windows 8.1

Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite C55-B5362 with pre-installed Windows 8.1.
Make DualBoot Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 (both 64 bit), so, I don't know how to do this. If I set BIOS to CMOS and Install Windows 7 disabling Secureboot, I will lost all the pre-installed Windows 8.1 and the OEM licence.
and other question... if the upper is not possible. Okay. I will delete Windows 8.1 and Install Windows 7 permanently until Windows 10 is released, but.... If I have Windows 7 with CMOS BIOS and SecureBoot disabled, then supposing that I could have problems with Windows 7, and I want to upgrade to Windows 8.1 again, and supposing that I have a Recovery Partition backed in a USB drive, what can I do for re-install OEM Windows 8.1 and the licence.
Thanks.
Solved!

As I said above...
..you will need to install essentially all of them to make that laptop work as designed.
..install the TVAP before any other Toshiba utility.

Can you dual boot Windows XP on the current Mac Pro?

I'm currently interested in purchasing a new Mac Pro but want to dual boot Windows XP to play older games. Is this possible with the current Mac Pro's software and hardware?

The current version of OS X only allows bootcamp to be used with Windows 7 and above. You would have to have a version of Snowleopard to install XP in bootcamp.
You "could" use a 3rd party program like VMWare Fusion, or Parallels desktop to install an XP virtual machine. There was also a free Virtual Machine program for Mac, but the name escapes me.

Can't dual boot windows 7 with windows 8 on Thinkpad edge S430

I am desperately trying to install windows 7 from USB.
I need it to dual boot with windows 8.
I obtained a windows 7 iso from MSDNAA: (en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_676939.iso)
I made a bootable UEFI USB with rufus on a Sandisk U3 Cruzer (8GB)
Now in BIOS I disabled secure boot but I can't select my USB, I can select it, press enter, the screen flickers but jumps back to the first entry in the boot list.
The USB is displayed without "UEFI:" in front.
Selecting "legacy" in boot mode works but I can't install windows 7, the setup shows al the partitions but says: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is not of the GPT partition style".
That's it, I just can't install windows 7...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok got it working:
a U3 Cruzer is NOT a good bootable USB!
csm should be enabled in BIOS.
secure boot should be DISABLED in BIOS.
(My problem was csm and the bad USB)

Can I dual boot Windows Thin PC on my Windows 7?

Hi
I would like to try the Windows Thin PC, can I install it on my Windows 7 and dual boot, if I need it I logon to Thin PC.
KW - CNE,MCSE,VCP5

Hi KANE,
Windows Thin PC is a locked-down version of Windows 7. As a result, it will be able to run on any device that is capable of running Windows 7.
Since I have no Windows Thin PC to take a test. An at least advantage of using existing PCs as thin clients is that you can continue to use the hard disk for data that has been stored there.
Furthermore, You could try if the thin client OS of choice can be installed as a dual boot option.
The detailed installation steps, please open this address, click the link below:

How do you dual boot Windows XP on a Mac?

I'd like to know the best way to use dual-booting to run both Windows XP and Mac OS X on my G4 PowerPC machine. First of all, is this even possible with a PowerPC? I don't know if it only works with Intel-based Macs or what... I'd appreciate it if someone could point me to a good, beginners tutorial on dual booting. I have the Windows XP installation disc, a PC, and my Mac.

I won't need to install the Windows XP operating system, will I?
From the website Niel linked: "Q [kju:] emulator is a feature packed Cocoa port of QEMU: Run Linux, Windows, and other systems on your Mac. " Note it says "Run Windows", it doesn't say run Windows programs. I have zero experience in this but my reading of that is that you have to have another OS to install. Q just lets the Mac pretend to be a PC without software. If you want to run a Windows game you have to install Q, then Windows, then the game.
In general emulation is often slow. You're talking about games. If you mean video style games then those can be very demanding I would not expect too much of this kind of setup. Again in the link somebody mentions running it on a G4 and it is slow.

How can I dual-boot Mac OSX and Linux Mint?

Hey guys, I was wondering if it is possible to dual-boot both OS's similar to OS X and Windows 7/8...but first I'm wondering if it will void my MacBook Air Warranty (w/ AppleCare) as ultimately it wouldn't be worth it then!
Thanks!

Which CD are you trying to use?
Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) originally came on DVD.
A media exchange program initially was available:

So maybe you did an exchange for CDs?

Can I dual boot windows 7 and mountain lion with an external hard drive.

I have Mac OSX mountain lion installed and running on my 2TB external hard drive. Boot camp says that I have to use the default flash storage that came with my computer.. Is there a way to put it on my external hard drive if I partition it? I also am having a problem when I tried to use the default storage the setup would not let me format it to NTFS

By default, Boot Camp formats the drive with FAT32. That's because Windows XP could be installed with FAT32 so, in order to write on that partition on Mac OS X, Boot Camp used it instead of NTFS.
If you want to install Windows 7 (it's the only version that your Mac supports), you will have to format the Boot Camp partition in NTFS manually. To do it, just start the Windows installation as usual but, on partitioning screen, choose "BOOTCAMP" volume, press "Drive options" and then, Format, so the partition will be formatted in NTFS and you will be able to install Windows

How can I get a local path of the local disk with swf

Since FileReference.download() doesn't download multiple
files, I want to download files with php ftp_get by FTP.
I need to pass the local path of the local disk where I can
download the files from a remote serveur. How can I get a prompt to
have a user choose a folder on his computor (local disk), if any
way possible?

OK, at least 3 is working.
I don't know how you have a Tape Recorder icon on your Home Screen. I cannot add one myself. But, I am running Holo Launcher in replacement of the default LG "Optimus" User Interface. It's much better in my opinion.
Try long pressing the icon and select Edit and maybe you can change some attribute of the icon.
Another thing you could do, is long-press an empty area of your desktop, to add an icon. Select Shortcut, then Select Contact, and scroll through your contact list and choose the contact that you added for *86.
You realize if you have voice mail you haven't heard, there is a tape recorder icon in the notification bar, which you touch and pull down, then press it to dial voicemail.
If that functionality doesn't work, you MIGHT want to consider doing a factory data reset on your device, but that is going to nuke all your personalizations and cause you work to set up again.

How can I use the Windows 7 high contrast theme with CS6?

I prefer using a high contrast theme in Windows, as I find it reduces eye strain, unfortunately these themes don't work in InDesign CS6 (i've tested Illustrator, Dreamweaver and PS and they seem to handle the high contrast theme ok, but this forum doesn't quite like it either, but that could just be because I'm forced to use IE at work here)
Any text within dialogue boxes is black, and the toolbars and windows are pretty much unusable too.
Is there any way around this issue?

I see the same thing using a High Contrast theme. I think you're in uncharted territory here as far as what's been discussed previously on the forum, but maybe one of our other users also is a high contrast aficianado and has figured something out.

HT204053 How can I find out what devices are using my AppleID and the history of purchased items with my AppleID?

I have used my appeID to load some games to my son's friends iPod's and have found that the iTunes gift cards that were loaded under my ID have been used very quickly ($100 in 2 months) when I have not been downloading things. I have been told that the friend has been downloading games/music after I had put in my password to load something else.

We are fellow users on here and not Apple employees so have no account access.
You can see iTunes and app store purchases by going to the store for each and clicking Purchases on the right side.
You might want to consider contacting the store support staff at http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html and request your account be locked for a period of time. You need to stop allowing uncontrolled access and that may be he bet way.

Can I dual boot with MAC OS/X and Windows

What is the best way to configure a dual boot on my MAC Bookpro laptop? Also, can I dual boot Windows 8 and MAC OS?

The first alternative is a dual-boot arrangement between OS X and Windows provided with OS X.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
   1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
         XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
         4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
         instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
         installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
         installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
         computer into OS X or Windows.
     2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
         Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
         virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
         with OS X.
     3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
         or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
         enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
     4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
         applications without having to install Windows. The
         Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
     5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
         as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
         It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
         Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.
