How to install PS CS4 64bit in a Dual Boot system

Hi,
I have just created a dual boot system.
Dell XPS 600 3 gig of ram (soon to be 6 gig
Windows XP Pro 32 bit
Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit
The windows OS can not see above 2 gig (and that is a long story but believe me I have had it confirmed - even though a 32 bit system should be able to see up to 3.5 gig). That is why I created the dual boot (into Vista 64) OS.
The Vista 64 bit OS CAN see the current 3 gig (soon to be 6 gig).
Each has its own partition and I dual boot via a 3rd party BootIt NG
Question:
1. What is the proper way (if I even can do it) install PS CS4 on to the Vista 64 bit (in another partition) to take advantage of PS CS4 64?
2. Do I have to delete the XP 32 bit version and reactivate?
3. I do not use Bridge (or do I have to in order to get the 64 bit)? I have seen some threads here about using Bridge so I was wondering about that.
4. I also have IL CS4, ID CS4 and plan to do the same. Is that possible?
5. I know there is an issue with plugins so I will address that matter as it comes up. Hopefully, though the downloaded brushes will work ok in both the 32 and 64 bit envrionments.
Thanks in advance,
Bob

Thanks for the responses. Perhaps more of an explanation as to what I have done is in order.
I purchased this Dell XPS 600 XP Pro system some time ago. It was a "boomer" (powerful) system in its' day.
I subsequently increased the Ram to 2gb. I also have a internal 160gb 10K (rpm) Raptor and and another internal WD 250bg (7500 rpm) HD. I drive 3 monitors with a Nvidia 6800 and a Nvidia Dual port 7800 Gt.
So, all in all, the system is still (by today's standards) fairly robust.
BUT, with PS CS4, I tried to up the Ram from my installed Windows XP Pro 2gb system to 3 gb (given that every spec in the world says a 32bit system can see a max of 3 to 3.5 gb).
On my system. Wrong. It (the Windows XP My Computer Properties system would not see over 2 gb (even though BIOS said there was 3gb!) Additionally, BIOS said my board was capable of 64 bit processing.
After hours with DELL tech support (what a waste), I just concluded I should make a Dual boot with Vista Home Premium 64 bit.
I did, and Vista 64 does see the current 3gb in the system. I should add, I am going to make it an 8gb system and my memory will arrive from crucial.com tomorrow.
So Bob, to address your comment. I started (2 years ago?) with Windows XP Pro 32 bit. I have a ton of applications (32 bitters) on the C drive now. But I want the extra addressing (AKA speed potential) capability of a 64bit system. In short, that is the reason for the Dual Boot.
I just cannot burn the 32 bit bridge due to the number of 32 bit apps on it, but I can now utilize a 64 bit architecture for PS CS4, (and as I now am reading ID, and IL CS4 flavors)
Hope I cleared things up.
And as always, thanks
Bob

How do I install Adobe CS4 Design Premium on a Non-System Drive?

I am trying to install Adobe CS4 Design Premium on a Non-System Drive, but it appears
that there is no option to do so. Is there a workaround to changing the installation location?

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your answer. The reason is because I am working on a Navy computer with limited space on my C Drive. I have more space available to me on a "D" Drive. I am running Windows XP with 3GB RAM and 17GB on the D. I only have 10GB on the C Drive, but that needs to stay open for system patches, & other software. Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 is installed on the C.
Thank you for your response.

About to move from Windows to Mac. Considering purchasing retina display MBP 15" with dual boot system as I need some of my programs. How is the display in windows for photoshop?

Has anyone got any thoughts or have you yourself purchased the MBP with Retina display and added the dual boot system with windows?
I desperately need to update my gear and want a MBP.
I'm a full time photographer at my local paper and freelance photographer - use computers A LOT, and only use windows. I've experienced mac and know I prefer it, the way it runs pleases me a whole lot more and for the amount i'm processing/working I need something that will keep up.
With 12 years of photoshop gear loaded up for all my photo processing etc, I'm wanting to add Windows and have use of both. Windows would run photoshop that I had already purchased some time ago - question is, how will it run? what will the display be like running Windows on Mac with the retina display?
I use CS4 at the moment and can't afford to upgrade to CS6 just yet, plus i'd waste a lot of what I already have by starting again on Mac. I'd use Mac for everything else, need the use of Windows for portions of what I do.
About to head to Canada and want to get set up for the road. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks heaps!

There are some drawbacks, running Windows 7 (only) on a Mac via Bootcamp yields less than stellar results, especially with the Retina display.
And of your traveling, the Mac's high power needs (especially the Retina display) and lack of removable battery are going to be a serious issue. The Retina display is glossy, not ideal for viewing on the road and in varied environments.
CS4 won't run on the OS X version that comes with a Mac, so your looking at purchasing CS6.
Support for Windows is more widespread than for Mac's, also if you ever need to redownload OS X to fix a issue, requires a fast reliable Internet connection of the broadband kind.
If your running Windows on your Mac, you can expect to be on your own and not get support as easily as if you were running it on a regular PC.
If you can't afford to keep up with CS upgrades, then you shouldn't be considering a Mac because there are more paid upgrades on that than on Windows 7, it's like a annual nightmare.
IMMO your still better off on a decent, 1920 x 1080 res, matte screen, removable battery (with extras), Win 7 Pro i7 machine (Pro+ runs XP programs) which will stay like it is and get security updates until 2020.
OS X changes every year and if you don't upgrade, + all your third party software, then about 3 years later your left behind for updates.
Also you will have to buy Win 7 to run on your Mac, the OEM disks won't work.
If your trying to budget, then a Mac is certainly not for you.

Qosmio X300-14U - How to make a dual boot system?

Hello to all Toshiba X300 users!
I have recently bought X300 14U and I am trying load XP as a dual boot. I have used floppy, I have done everything in my power to dual boot.
Please could somebody help? I have checked the forum to see how to do it but it keeps on telling the same thing what I have done.
I have tried to ask Toshiba what chipset it is using but they are just guessing.
Could some please point in the right direction tell which store manger I need?
Which chip set and SATA drivers I need an how to apply these to make a successful dual boot with XP Pro SP2?
I have Vista Home premium installed.
I have done as much as I can do.
I have even tried to run virtual pc but Vista home Premium does not support it.
Than k you very much

Hello
Check also THIS page. At the end you can find a guide for "Slipstreaming SATA driver into WinXp boot CD using nLite".
I don't understand why you mean this notebook must support everything. As I can see this notebook model is not supported for WXP and if you will install it successfully you will still missing important drivers, tools and utilities and you will not be able to use WXP as Vista.
On one side I understand you but other way to have WXP with limited functionality is also not the solution.

How to install Windows XP 64bit on my Qosmio G30-219

Problem.....how to install windows xp 64 on my qosmio G30-219? seems that Toshiba doesn't support it! Or have i missed something?
Help please!!!!

Of course you can install it on the Qosmio G30.
The problem is that you will not find any Toshiba 64bit XP drivers on the Toshiba driver page!!!
Why???
Well, Im not sure why but I presume the Toshiba notebooks were not delivered with 64bit OS and therefore 64bit drivers dont exists.
I assume you cannot install the 64bit XP on the Qosmio because you have not included an RAID driver!!! Am I right?
The RAID driver is need and important to recognize the HDD!!!
You can include it pressing F6 during the windows setup installation procedure
So its one little hint!

I understand you are trying to install your Deskjet 3055A on your Mac, running Mavericks. The installation CD may be compatible up to 10.6, and that could be why you are seeing the error message.
This link should help you. It will show you how to install the printer on your Mac.

How to 'Remove' user access from deleted dual boot system's users in existing operating system's folders and files?

I have Windows 7 Enterprise Professional, accessed earlier from (now deleted) other dual boot operating system (User folder), which shows it's users as unknowns for folder properties in Windows 7 Enterprise Professional's "C:\Users\Aniruddha",
which causes system not responding, how to 'Remove' these unknown users from folder properties of "C:\Users\Aniruddha"?
Also "C:\Users\Aniruddha\Application Data" creates many of own folders within eachselfs end folder ("C:\Users\Aniruddha\Application Data" creates a "C:\Users\Aniruddha\Application Data\Application Data", "C:\Users\Aniruddha\Application
Data\Application Data" creates a "C:\Users\Aniruddha\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data" and many) because of which system stops responding randomly, starts responding only for "ctrl+alt+del", why such self
creation begins?
Whether a standby user with same file structure copied from a user would dynamically link it's shortcut folders with Windows user from whom these folders were copied or whether there would be no link and for above said problem I would restore User's file structre
back to normal just by copying from standby user?

Installing Oracle ERP 12.1 on Dual Boot PC

Hi,
I like to know if we can install Oracle E-Business suite on PC with Dual Boot/Operating System (Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003) on separate partitions rather than installing guest operating system using Oracles Virtual Box. Please give me some feed backs.
Regards,
Masood

Thanks Yoonas for the feedback. I have Windows 7 (64 Bit) on C drive (Partition) and Windows Server 2003 (32 bit) on E drive (Partition). I have 4 GB RAM.
If I go with virtual box than host operating system will be 64 bit and Guest operating system will be 32 bit. I am worried this might cause a problem. Also I can use the full memory capacity that is 3 GB available with 32 bit operating system rather splitting 2 GB each to both operating system.
I would appreciate more expert opinions on this set-up as I have not seen any ERP installation guide on dual operating system on the web.

Masood

How to install the CS4 design standard in Windows 7?

I bought the CS4 design standard and install it in Win XP.
Recently, I upgraded my OS to Win7.
However, when I wanted to reinstall the CS4 design standard, it failed.
So I tried just install one function of that design standard : Acrobat 9.0 Pro.
That installation succeeded. But when I want to use it,
it shows that I need to initiate with other CS4 functions, such as CS4 photoshop to make it work.
Is anyone can help me? Thanks!

Hi s2007,
What was the error message that you encountered when you tried to install CS4?
We might have to check the install logs for the installation failure.
Please see Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html for information on how to review your installation logs
You might also want to try the following steps:
> Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.

How to install Flash CS4 under Windows XP?

When I start installing anything from CS4 package (trial

from web), installation hangs on stage where I could most
likely select some

the same place.
Does anybody know what is going on?

Unzipping gives you three disks worth, inside disk1 there should be a file 'setup.exe'.
If not you could try using a download manager like 'getright' to make sure you've "really" got what was posted (windows isn't so hot at getting it right) - getright is so good I paid for the shareware :-)
