Install Windows 7 after Arch Linux?

Hi guys.
My fingers urge to play some Windows games, so I thought I might as well give dualbooting a shot.
I know it's usually easiest to install Linux after Windows, but I don't feel like reformatting my current setup.
This is how my current partitioning works:
***@archlinux ~]$ fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976773168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x42414240
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 63 208844 104391 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 208845 738989 265072+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 738990 32483429 15872220 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 32483430 976768064 472142317+ 83 Linux
I've never quite understood the whole partion-part-stuff, so that is why I'm posting this in the newbie corner.
What am I supposed to do from here, preferably step-by-step, to install Windows 7 on my desktop PC running ArchLinux as the only OS atm?

you dont need that stupid 100 mb partition for windows. The way i did it was /boot as my first partition just because i wanted a boot partition.
My second partition was my ntfs/windows then i had
swap then
/root then
/home
Install arch linux first, then go back and boot to the dvd install windows on that ntfs partition. It will make a master boot record and overwrite your grub stuff. Stupid windows. You can then boot back into the arch linux cd and there is a command to fix the grub. This might do the trick, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24113 or  you can reinstall the arch linux to fix the grub stuff and add windows in the menu.lst. The place holder is already there just un comment it and i think you leave out makeactive. At least mine has that commented out so its not using it.
I guess whats important here is that you diaper in your ntfs windows partition. Then windows cant make that 100mb sys partition. My windows works just fine...I think its used for saving system restore points.....not sure.
good luck.

  • How to install cinnamon after arch linux core was installed?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to install cinnamon desktop environment after arch linux core was installed? It can access internet but no desktop environment now. So how to install and configure cinnamon on arch linux via command?
    Many thanks!

    after arch linux core was installed
    So you finished installing the basesystem or also bootloader, graphics and so on? (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide)
    If you finished installing with the Beginners Guide you need to install the cinnamon package (pacman -S cinnamon). After you installed cinnamon you need a display manager - e.g. lxdm (You can use another one, here's an overview: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Display_Manager). If you want to use lxdm with cinnamon you have to install the lxdm package (pacman -S lxdm) and enable it afterwards (systemctl enable lxdm.service). If you've done with this just restart, you should see the graphical display manager you installed. If there's a dropdownmenu or something like that (e.g. when you use gdm instead of lxdm) choose cinnamon as display environment and login.
    More informations can be found in the wiki:
    Display Manager: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDM
    Display Environment: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cinnamon

  • [SOLVED] Installing Windows XP after Arch Linux

    I'm not sure at all where to post this, so I've decided to do it here since I have the problem on a laptop... Please move if it should be somewhere else.
    I installed Arch Linux on my new laptop a month ago or so, and am very pleased to have found the very kind of distro I've been looking for. However, I'm having trouble with my graphics (either wine doesn't support it, or the drivers don't have 2D/3D acceleration), and now I want to install Windows XP next to Arch Linux.
    Using a GParted LiveCD, I've repartitioned the harddrive as such: Unpartitioned Space (27GB), Linux (197GB), SWAP (5GB).
    I've also removed the bootable flag from the Linux partition, just to be sure. However, when I try to install Windows XP, it gets stuck after unpacking a bunch of drivers, giving me a bluescreen that tells me to make sure the hardware isn't broken, check my harddrive with CHKDSK /F, or look for viruses. Ofcourse I know none of these are true, since I'm running Arch Linux just fine.
    A friend suggested that maybe my hardware isn't supported by Windows XP, which sounds like the most reasonable explanation so far, but I can't find a list of supported hardware. The M$ homepage basicly says
    "Pentium 233-megahertz (MHz) processor or faster (300 MHz is recommended)"
    for CPU, which doesn't help me at all.
    My hardware is:
    Processor: Intel Celeron 2.2 Ghz
    Memory: 2GB DDR2
    Graphics: Intel 4500MHD
    And the laptop is called an "eMachines E525", though that doesn't say much since there are very, very many called this.
    Can anyone give me any hints as to what I might be doing wrong?

    Sounds like something I'll want to do. Where did you download the drivers? Do I have to follow some guide? Thanks for the tip
    EDIT:
    Indeed I will want to install AHCI drivers, otherwise Arch Linux fails to boot quite badly. There is also a problem preventing me from booting when I'm using AHCI though;
    At boot, Arch Linux checks /dev/sda1 (NTFS) for errors, and expects to check an ext2 filesystem. Obviously, however, /dev/sda1 is an NTFS filesystem.
    Since it tries to read the NTFS partition as an ext2 filesystem, it panics. Arch Linux then prompts me for the root password (or Ctrl+D to reboot), but I've disabled root login and can therefore do nothing at this point.
    I have a GParted livecd and the Arch Linux livecd, so editing files on any of the filesystem isn't a problem at all, but I don't know what to do at this point. Help?

  • Installing Windows XP after Arch Linux already been installed [SOLVED]

    Here is my dilema:
    I have a Fujitsu Lifebook T4010 Laptop with a Wacom Tablet built into the screen. About a month ago I installed Arch Linux on it. It took me a while to get everything working (tablet screen/function buttons/on rotate flip reso) but eventually I got it all working.
    The thing is I feel like I'm not fully taking advantage of its tablet abilities. I want to be able to use it with Photoshop and Flash. I decided I should dual boot it with Windows XP / Arch.
    So I cut down on my /home partition and freed up ~25 gigs of the total 80 gigs for Windows. When I went to install it told me the maximum number of partitions had been met.  I looked it up online and apparently you can only have 4 primary partitions and with the 4 that Arch currently occupies (boot/swap/root/home) it looks like I'm out of luck.
    I'm thinking my only option is to combine my home partition with my root partition to free up a primary partition. People tell me it's easier when you have Windows installed first but to be honest it took me quite some time to get this laptop/tablet up and running and all of it's features working for me how I wanted and I don't want to have to go through it again.
    If anyone has any advice, work arounds,  or could tell me how I would go about safely combining my home and root partition it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks a ton,

    After a second thought, you'd have to move the home partition as well, as the extended partition counts too. I'd start with an arch live cd, cfdisk, delete swap, make extended, 2 logical drives, format the partition, backup, move home's content. then delete home, create new primary, install windows, write grub again, put the new partitions into fstab and tell grub where to find windows.
    EDIT: After a third thought, combining home and root might be easier: Just copy home's content to your root partition (if ther is enough room ...), unmount home, copy the stuff to /home and delete the home partition from fstab. Then delete the old home partition.
    Copying the home's contents to the root partition was what I had in mind. I'm trying to figure out how I would go about doing that though.  If I copy the /home to the root partition from the old home partition - will it automatically pick it up if I delete the fstab entry. Also will it be possible to expand my /root partition after that to take up the space the home partion use to own?

  • Computer freezes before BIOS after arch linux install

    This is my first time installing arch linux, I followed the beginners install guide word for word. However, after the install, my computer gets stuck before the BIOS. It identifies the RAM, GPU, and harddrive (all Diagnostic lights are ok on my MOBO). Before the install it booted fine, but now when I boot it up it wont go to the BIOS screen no matter how many times I press delete. However, when I remove the harddrive it boots to the arch linux install screen on my USB drive perfectly.
    I know it is not my hardware because I did many different tests (mem-test, swapped out harddrives, tried 1 stick of RAM in different slots, etc). More importantly, my harddrive is brand new so I know it isn't dead because I could partition it when I was installing arch linux.
    Computer specs:
    AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+
    DFI LANPARTY nf4-d
    ATI Radeon x800
    2 GB DDR RAM
    160 GB SSD
    I have no idea what the problem is, I must have screwed something up with the bootloader or something. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Try clearing the CMOS settings either by removing the motherboard battery for some minutes or by using the relevant jumper on the motherboard. Check the manual of your motherboard for details.

  • Installing and running Arch linux on the new MacBook 2015

    So Apple has just started taking orders for the new 2015 MacBook. You know --
    the thinnest and lightest MacBook to date (even thinner than the MacBook Air),
    with a 12 inch retina display, the Intel Core M processor, a single USB-C port,
    and the new force touch trackpad.
    I'm pretty sure there are a few people like me who'd like to buy this new
    MacBook and then install and run Arch (or some other flavor of linux) on it.
    But of course, this MacBook is in many ways very dissimilar to previous MacBook
    Pros and MacBook Airs. So this thread is a shout out to likeminded individuals
    who are willing to brave the odds and install Linux on this new machine, so we
    can help each other figure out (and hopefully fix) the inevitable issues that
    will arise when we venture into this uncharted territory!
    I have a little bit of experience installing and running Arch on MacBook Pros
    and other Apple computers, but I'm (very) far from being an expert. But based
    on my limited experience, I think the following areas will pose the biggest
    challenges to getting Linux properly up and running on the new MacBook:
    1. Installation: it's possible that booting a live USB will fail. So we might
       have to use a CD. Indeed, perhaps we may even have to build a special ISO
       image for this laptop. And once the install is complete, EFI/EFISTUB booting
       with/without refit/refind may or may not work. Also, installing a bootloader
       (grub, gummiboot, etc.) for dual booting Mac OS X and Linux may be a
       challenge. We might have to endure kernel panics and deal with cryptic error
       messages while booting.
    2. Wifi may or may not work reliably. We might have to do some tinkering with
       different drivers, etc.
    3. Battery life may not be very good. We might have to fix a few things here.
    4. The HiDPI retina display may or may not work properly with specific window
       managers/desktop environments. Fonts/icons might be too tiny, may not scale,
       etc.
    5. The new Force touch trackpad may not work out of the box. In fact, I'm
       fairly sure the regular xf86-input-synaptics package won't play nice with
       this trackpad. There may not be support for features like the trackpad's
       haptic feedback, multi-finger gestures, pressure sensitivity, etc. Indeed,
       this might actually take a while to get properly working under Linux.
    6. I don't know if the new USB-C port will work out of the box. It may not
       play nice with USB flash drives and other peripherals and there may be
       issues with ehci/uhci/whatever.
    I tried Googling around trying to learn as much as I could about the issues
    above, but since the laptop is going on sale only today and most users are
    probably not interested in running Linux on it, I came up quite empty. I think
    many others on this forum might also have faced the same issue.
    So here's an open invitation. Let's share our experiences trying to get linux
    working on this laptop. If you buy this laptop and try to install Arch on
    it, please let us know how it went! Even if some things work out of the box, it
    might be useful for others to know, so please share.
    And of course, if you have more information/gotchas: for example, if you
    encountered and managed to fix one or more of the issues above, or you
    encountered a problem that's not on the list above, or even if you tried
    something and it didn't work out as expected, please post below. I'm sure this
    will be a very big help to others trying to solve similar issues on the same
    hardware. Thanks!

    It would probably be beneficial to post the output of lsusb -vvvv and dmesg.

    2. Broadcom BCM4360 AirPort Extreme, not supported.
    5. The new Force touch trackpad and keyboard, both SPI bus devices, do not work.
    On 2, it may just be a case of needing firmware, my laptop has a BCM43602 card, and the firmware required has only just been added to the linux-firmware package.  Prior to that I had to install it manually.
    On 5, I'm wondering if you identified them as SPI devices by looking in OS X, I ask because my laptop categorises my keyboard and trackpad in the same way.  But they are actually still both connected to the USB bus, and presumably using SPI as an interconnect between the keyboard/trackpad and the microcontroller that tie them together.

  • Windows 7 / Arch Linux Dual-Boot - win7 keeps changing the boot flag!

    Greetings!
    Its been a long while since I had to dual-boot with windows on the same machine.
    I 've installed windows 7 and then arch linux and installed GRUB on my sda1 where the /boot partitions is located at.
    I've managed to boot into arch successfully and later into windows also successfully.... but when i tried to boot into arch again I wasn't greeted with the typical GRUB boot screen... grub was ignored completely and win7 booting began as if it was the only OS in my hard drive.
    I've used the gparted live cd and realized that the boot flag has changed from my /boot partition (sda1) to my windows partition (sda2). I've changed it back and I was able to boot into arch again. but when I rebooted to win7 and then to arch the same thing has happened. The boot flag keeps changing whenever im rebooting into windows making impossible for me to boot with GRUB unles I manually change the flag again.
    I haven't installed GRUB into the MBR because I hear  it is a bad practice when you have a windows OS also installed (something with service packs not being able to install, among other things). I also don't want to use the easyBCD method to boot arch using the win7 loader.
    here is the partition scheme on my 500gb sata drive :
    /dev/sda1      /boot                 250mb    (primary)
    /dev/sda2      windows 7 ntfs   100gb     (primary)
    /dev/sda3      swap                  4gb        (primary)
    /dev/sda5     /                       16gb        (logical)
    /dev/sda6     /var                   8gb         (logical)
    /dev/sda7     /home               the rest of the hd space   (logical)
    What am I doing wrong and how do i prevent the boot flag from changing?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

    if anyone has figured out how to prevent windows from automagically changing the bootgflag, id like to know !
    but maybe this is a question more suitable for a windoze forum

    /edit: seriously, ive been searching the net for some time now, including irc chans and there seems to be no solution to this ! all threads similar to this just end dead !
    i hate how windows claims to own my computer!
    1. don't necrobump
    2. as mentioned in the thread, just install grub to mbr and chainload windows. It works just fine and is the easiest way to get it working reliable.

  • How to install Dofus on Arch Linux 64

    Hey everyone! I am running Arch Linux 64-bit with E18 (enlightenment). I am trying to install Dofus (mmorpg game) but I am running into multiple issues. If anyone is willing to guide me through how I can fully install it and get it working that would be awesome! I tried yaourt but it would return errors while making the files and throw me into an infinite loop as it gets mad and tries to rebuild the file where the error occurs. I tried to install it directly from source from the tarball on the AUR, I did the ./configure and the game built and everything, but when I run the game through the launcher, the launcher doesn't open and I get 3 '?' signs with a diamond appear in the terminal on the next line. When I try to run the game directly, it gets stuck on the loading page at 63% with the red dofus loading symbol.
    Any help is greatly appreciated ... just gave arch linux a try after using FreeBSD/Debian for my whole life, never had any issues on FreeBSD or Debian, but apparently arch is a whole different story.
    Cheers,
    ~ zSpider86

    Well there weren't exactly any errors at all visibly. Its just that the game didn't start as it was supposed to. What I am asking in this thread is -- can you please link me to a guide of how to properly install Adobe AIR on 64 bit arch linux + get Dofus to work with it as well. And I can post back my results from that since I don't exactly have any errors to post at the moment.
    But if you insist, what I have I tried so far is this...
    [[email protected] ~]$ yaourt dofus
    1 aur/ankama-transition 3.7.20131013-1 [installed] (3)

    ==> Enter n of packages to be installed (ex: 1 2 3 or 1-3)
    ==> --------------------------------------------------------
    ==> 2
    Then during the installation the errors occur when it gets to this package:
    lib32-webkitgtk2
    There are just dones of make errors flying down the screen and it causes them to loop and never ends...
    So really what I mean to ask is, is there anyway I can circumvent the installation of this file?
    ==> dofus dependencies:
    - ankama-transition>=3.5-6 (already installed)
    - adobe-air-sdk (already installed)
    - lib32-gtk2 (already installed)
    - lib32-libxml2 (already installed)
    - lib32-nss (already installed)
    - lib32-alsa-lib (already installed)
    - lib32-webkitgtk2 (building from AUR)
    ^ lib32-webkitgtk2 or install it another way because clearly dofus needs it, but it causes errors during installation.
    Also, I don't know what happens here, but this is the part in the terminal of the installation of lib32-webkitgtk2 where it starts to break and loops over and over again...

  • Satellite A200-137 - Can not install windows after hard disk crash

    last week my a200-137 crashed and now i have new hitachi 500 gb hdd on it, same as before the crash.
    I install with Toshiba recovery DVD windows Vista on it and after succesfull install i have to start windows, it says preparing windows for first use then i have to wait a moment and then i get the message that windows installation is not completed. But it is complete!
    After trying for 3 times installing with recovert I tried to install windows xp.
    After a couple of minutes and transering files, I get the message no disk found! It says that there is no hard disk on the laptop!
    But when I start up the boot menu or the setup menu I can see the 500 gb Hitachi hard disk!
    So why can windows not find the hard disk and why can I not start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?

    > So why can windows not find the hard disk and why can I not start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?
    On this virtual way it is not easy to say why you cannot install recovery image. It would be interesting to know if the same will happen when you replace HDD with the same or identical one.
    Which capacity has had original HDD?
    If possible try to obtain original Microsoft installation disc and check if HDD will be recognized by Vista or Win7 and of course if you will be able to install and start preinstalled OS.
    About WXP installation: it is well known that WXP installation will not starts properly due to missing SATA driver that must be loaded before WXP installation starts.
    Check this forum and you will find hundreds of threads with detailed explanation why this happen and what can you do about it.

  • Dual booting pre-installed Windows 8 and Linux?

    I just bought a G780 with Windows 8 pre-installed. Ideally, I would also like to install some flavor of Linux. I've been searching but not finding much info on how difficult or time-consuming this would be, or if there are any special considerations or anything. I've found some guides on dual-booting Windows 8 and Linux but they were all for installing Windows straight from a disk, not anything where it's already pre-installed, and some indicated they thought it might be problematic to use a pre-installed version of Windows. Anyway I was hoping that if anybody has done this on the G780 or even a similar laptop that you could share how it went and any difficulties you encountered. I'm open to using any Linux distro if it'll be easy to install. I would appreciate any info you could share. Thanks.

    I had issues with Windows 8 as pre-installed on my G580, my employer at the time was using Windows 7 only and would not allow upgrades for security purposes.  I deleted the entire drive (including hidden) knowing at some point I would re-install Windows 8 or later from retail disk when needed.
    Linux can resize partitions during the install process, but be careful not to disturb the hidden partition or the windows boot loader in the process.  Linux Mint is the best yet for this purpose, OpenSUSE and Fedora failed, CentOS failed and Ubuntu was not able to boot, but did not "hurt" the windows partitions.
    Good luck.

  • Re-installing windows after upgrading hard drive?

    Hi, 
        Ive been searching through Google and on this site but I keep finding info on how to upgrade the hard drive or how to upgrade windows but I cannot find the answer to my specific question. 
    How do I install windows on my Satellite A305-S6905 after upgrading the hard drive? will the software be in the recovery discs that I made of the laptop? Do I have to contact toshiba for the discs? Will I need to enter a software KEY?

    You don't install anything. You restore the hard disk by laying down all the bytes it needs - one at a time.
    The recovery discs that you created will restore the hard drive to its original factory-new contents. No product key is necessary because that installation is preactivated.
    See the section Hard Disk Drive Recovery using the Recovery media, starting on p. 66 in the User's Guide.

  • Re-Install Windows after Harddisk change

    Hi,I have a Lenovo V570 laptop. It is 3+ years old. I recently had to change the HDD. After the HDD change, local technician loaded Ubuntu. However, I wanted to go back to the installed Windows 7. I have the Activation Key. However, not sure from where I can get the Windows to dwnload.I tried Microsoft site. After validating the key, I got a message as the key is part of OEM and I need to contact the manufacturer. I had no luck in getting touch with themCan some one please help me to correct link for Windows 7 download? Thanks

    Hi,
    look inside your /User/Library/Parallels folder if the .hdd file that is your Parallels Windows VM is still present.
    To my knowledge the uninstall of Parallels does not delete it.
    Whether or not VirtualBox can use is for import is beyond my knowledge.
    Regards

  • Failing to install Windows after virus removal

    I recently detected a virus and our IT guy removed it successfully.  It seems that the registry was "damaged" somewhere as i cannot re-install Windows.  It goes past the first section (gathering files) and then +- 67% of the next
    step - then I receive an error message. I also did a back up (before installation) and at 99% it showed an error and "cannot complete back up".
    I was told i should  re-install windows and this should correct the issues.  I am also not able to do updates or sync any phones/tablets.

    Try create a bootable scan with Windows Defender Offline and boot into your system and run a full system scan:
    http://cyberdefend.wordpress.com/2013/05/06/scanner-in-your-pocket/
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/what-is-windows-defender-offline
    If your Windows 7 is already running, you could create a repair disk:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-system-repair-disc
    And boot into your system and attempt to repair it.

  • Cant install Windows as PVM - Linux works properly

    I am playing recently witn OVM 3.1.1.
    Everything is fine LInux (RedHat, Oracle Enterprise LInux) was installed properly using PVM emulation using ftp as mountpoint for iso images - like in documentation.
    I can't emulate virtual machines as HVM because this serwer which i am using have not posess hardware emulation (IBM x3950).
    So i need to execute virtual machines as PVM, and install operating systems using nfs, http, ftp. I chosed ftp.
    And VM prepared for Windows2003 cant execute and is not able get files from shared ftp.
    I am constantly getting error:
    ------------> stderr: Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!
    This VM prepared for Windows2003 for sure connecting to my ftp because i can see this in log. After starting VM there is about 12 connections to my ftp, but after this VM shuts down with information above.
    Please help me with this issue.
    I was digging on google to search info how can i install Windowses on OVM as PVM emulation - there is no info at all about this.
    this is my full log

    ----------

    Hello again,
    As I said before, the only way to properly run (and also install) a Windows virtual machine under Oracle VM (2.x, 3.x) requires Hardware Virtualization (Intel VT-x or AMD-V).
    Check again the link you have provided, right after the table that list the supported Guest OS the following line is displayed:
    *"Paravirtualization support for RHEL 3.x and Windows 2008/2003/7/Vista/XP are paravirtualized device drivers only"*
    This means that you first need to create and install a Windows HVM using an ISO or a Template both previously imported to your repository. You can't boot a HVM (any OS) using a NFS share or HTTP/FTP server. (You are running a HVM Windows Guest at this point).
    Then after the Windows OS is installed, you can install inside the Windows Guest the Oracle Paravirtualized device drivers (_this is optional_) which in almost all cases increase the performance of a Windows Guest running in an Oracle VM enviroment. (You are running a PVHVM Windows Guest at this point, PVHVM stands for Hardware virtualized machine using paravirtualized drivers).
    As you can see, both cases for running a Windows Guest in Oracle VM (HVM or PVHVM) requires Hardware Virtualization.
