How to install Dual OS in Mid MB pro?

How to install Dual OS in Mid MB pro?
let me know the way to back up the Mac OS in my PC.

Windows uses the primary partiton for boot, too, even if you installed it on the NTFS volume in the extended partition. Wherever you install Windows, it will need the primary partition for booting. You can never boot from Windows extended partitions
As for the 15Gb raw partition, it look like what you call 'RAW partition' is actually just a small little part inside the extended partition. All your NTFS partitions (and your RAW partiton) are logical volumes and they all reside inside the extended partition. Even though Windows sees them as separate drives, each with its own drive letter, just as it sees the primary partition.
You may try do use Windows fdisk or diskpart to delete the last logical volume in the extended partition, and then get the ntfs resize tool from Linux, or the CD1 from the Debian Linux install CDs, which has it included and accessible with a nice user interface, and resize your extended partition.
I don't know if it works, I only used it to also resize some logical volume inside the partition. ntfs resize tool might not be easy to work with, you will need to read its documentation, but it does resize NTFS partitions (I have seen it).
If it works, then you will have your 15Gb as unallocated space available for a new partition. Let the Solaris installer create this new partition automatically during install.

  • How to install windows 7 on Old Macbook Pro 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo

    How to install windows 7 on Old Macbook Pro 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo:
    I want to known how to install windows 7 on Old Macbook 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo by using usb
    I try many time, but after restart bootcamp partition, apple show blinking folder error
    I think this firmware not support to install windows by usb
    NOTE:
    I Cannot install Apple New OSX Mountain Lion, Mavericks etc in this MAC
    If I cannot install windows 7 on this MAC, so tell me what I will do with this MAC  ? 

    I agree with the optical drive, mine acted strange, and i thought people were crazy and my drive was shot, but a simple cleaning disc worked miracles.
    But- are you trying to reboot with both the USB install and the DVD install both plugged in?  that would definitely cause confusion.
    Do this, reboot with NOTHING plugged in.  Once you hear the Mac chime, immediately press and hold option.
    You should only see the Mac HD, and Recovery Partition.
    THEN plug in your external DVD, and wait a min or two, you should see a disc icon appear next to the recovery partition that says something like windows.  If that doesnt appear after a min or two, unplug it and put the USB stick and do the same thing.  I had to do it this way on my mid 09 MBP.
    Let me know if this works to start the install.  If not we may have to start over with Bootcamp Assistant

    iTunes is not supported on 64-bit XP. But if you search these forums for something like "XP 64", you'll find a number of threads discussing workarounds that have "forced" iTunes on the 64-bit version of XP, albeit with varying levels of success. For starters, try this thread:

  • How to install Dual OS(solaris 10 and Windows XP)?

    I have got a 80 gb sata hard disk and i am not able to install Dual OS(solaris and Windows XP ) on it.My Partitions are as follows:
    Primary partition-5GB
    Remaining are extended Partition.
    Extended partition details
    8 gb NTFS partition(installed windows XP)
    7 gb NTFS partiton(No data in it)
    20 gb NTFS partition(No data in it)
    20 gb NTFS partiton(has data in it)
    15 gb RAW partiton
    I first installed Windows xp on 8 gb Extended partiton.Then when i installed Solaris i could see only 2 partitons.One with the 5 gb and the other with the 71 gb.I actually wanted to install my solaris on the 15 gb Raw partition.Since i could not see the partition(15 gb Raw) i installed solaris on the 5 gb partition.Now when the comp boots it goes to solairs os only.i dont have the option to choose windows at all.
    could any one of you explain me how the partitions are supposed to be and how could i make it as a Dual OS.

  • How to install the new BIOS for Satellite Pro M50 running Ubuntu

    I am running Ubuntu on my Pro M50. Could someone advise me what the latest BIOS is and how to install it?
    The BIOS upgrade site here seems to havean exe file but I couldn't see the BIOS file within?
    Thanks

    Why do you want to update the BIOS?!
    Do you have any big troubles with your notebook?!
    The Toshiba European driver page provides BIOS for XP and BIOS for Vista.
    Both BIOS versions must be executed while the operating system is running!
    If you use the Linux on your notebook, you will be not able to update the BIOS!!!
    Do you understand?
    Once again; The BIOS update should be done ONLY if its absolutely necessary. In other case dont update it!

    Hi,
    What are your Mac's specs, ie RAM, hard drive size, video memory, etc...? If you MacBook Pro is brand-new, frankly, don't bother installing Windows on a separate partition: install VirtualBox, create a sizeable (as in, 20 to 30Gb) virtual hard drive, then install Windows on it.
    The pros? You can use your copy of Windows as if it were installed on a separate partition, without the hassle of partitioning. You can even switch from OS X to Windows without having to reboot.
    The cons?  Windows won't feel as responsive as it would on its own partition (though from what I hear about Boot Camp, even that is debatable...), and you'd rather have a solid amount of RAM, empty disk space (for swapping) and video memory if you want to enjoy the experience.
    Up to you, but worth a try...
