MOVED: Installing additional Windows 8 on the second, non system, hard drive

This topic has been moved to GAMING Notebooks, since the topic does not belongs to Windows 8 upgrade board.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=255537.0

The following answers are based on my past experience, but I personally didn't set up dual systems before. So they're just for your reference.
1. Yes.
2. No. The MSI's system recovery image is in the hidden partition. Unless you delete that partition, installing new OS won't touch it.
3. Yes, because you are about to install dual copies of Win 8.1.
4. No need to set anything in BIOS.
5. Can't answer.
6. Won't know until you actually start this project.

What are the Processor, Operating system, hard drive device, Total Memory, Network card, System Graphics of the Silver ipad air

what are the Processor, Operating system, hard drive device, Total Memory, Network card, System Graphics of the Silver ipad air?

"Memory" in this case means RAM, the working space for the processor in the iPad. It is different from storage space, the latter being what is referred to by the "32GB", "64GB" etc. specification.

Installing Programs to an external/non-system hard drive (Raid 0)

Hello,
Here's the setup... a little different but should be simillar to MacPro setups. I have a Macbook with a 120gb stock drive and a 160gb 'optibay' hard drive installed where the superdrive was. It is all setup and running. I would like to Raid 0 the pair. That would give me a 37GB boot volume and a 220GB raid 0 internal volume.
I cannot get LogicPro 7 or FCS to install on the second volume. The error is:
"This software must be installed on the running system"
Is there a way around this? Is it possible to install OS X on a raid 0 volume such that I would have a 220gb boot volume and a 37GB 'extra' portion?
Thank you

What idea beyond just installing it where it goes? The installer is set to not allow it. You might try installing it, moving it, and putting an alias where the original is supposed to be.

Boot camp does not give me the option to make a partition, instead it just gives me the options to download windows support software, install windows 7, etc. I do not want any of these, I want to set aside the space on my hard drive!

Hello, I wish to install Linux Ubuntu on my macbook pro by using boot camp to set aside space. Whenever I load the Boot Camp Assistant application out of the utilities folder in applications, it only gives me the options to download windows support software and install windows 7. I do not want this, I just want to be able to slide that little bar to set aside the space on my hard drive that i can use for Linux. I tried just downloading the windows support software but my internet is immensely slow and it has been an hour or so since it started and it's not even half way done. When this download is finished will i get the option to partition or will i just be faced with those same options?
I am on a 13" macbook pro, with apple OS X snow leopard version 10.7.2
A lot of the data on this macbook was transferred over from my old macbook i had.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thank you for reading.

Well thank you for your honesty. Apple requires you have to have a Mac to develop iPhone apps, ergo my foray into OS-Xland. No way around it that one except for running OSX in a VM, which would have probably saved me some quid, true enough.
BUT for those interested parties: VirtualBox has a startup script in /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox that will prevent OSX from fully booting on the initial (and required) rEFIt boot cycle. Once I temporarily moved that out of the StartupItems rEFIt went in as expected.
FYI, the openSUSE desktop running native is a little peppier than OSX native which was a nice surprise. Now if the Mac just had more open source software we would have a deal. (:

How to get additional field from the second list base on lookup information column ?

Hi everyone,
Currently I created a SharePoint hosted Apps project and I need to know how can I get additional field from the second list base on lookup information column. example List1 Have 2 columns column1 and column2(Lookup Information from list2 (category)),
List2 have 3 columns title, and category, and color. so how can get the title and color from list2 base on this lookup information column (SharePoint Hosted apps and Javascript code)? that is possible?
Best regards,
------------------------------------------------------------ ---Tola---

You can build one custom lookup control. Refer to the following post

Alternatively, try the following solution from codeplex

I have a 15" MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion installed. I have partitioned the hard drive into two partitions. Is it possible to install Snow Leopard on the second partition? If so how do I do it?

If your MacBook Pro had Snow Leopard on it at one time then sure. (Early 2011 or earlier)
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
Obviously choose the second partition to install into. It has to be OS X Extended journaled formatted in Disk Utility (BootCamp software makes it a MSDOS/FAT32 formatted partition if you used that to partition with)
If it's a Early 2011 or Late 2011 that came with 10.7, it's possible, but it's not easy.

If you can't install Snow Leopard, there is a thread over at MacRumors how to run Snow Leopard in a virtual machine program under 10.7 or 10.8

I work on two screens. With the new updates, my computer will not automatically open a new window on the second screen.

I work on two screens. With the new updates we cannot automatically open a new window on the second screen, but have to move them over manually. Not a huge problem, but because of the nature of the work, it gets tedious.

Hi Annowriter,
Thank you for your question, I understand that it is annoying to have to move a new window to the second screen. Since it opens in the active screen this may have been a stored preference, however it is not the default.
There is an add on called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/monitor-master/ Monitor Master] that customizes settings like this. Check it out.

Triggering main window of the second page

Hi Experts,
I have two pages. Second Page will only get trigger at certain condition. I am triggering the Second page through Command. My issue is my second Page is triggering but the main window of the second page is not getting triggered. It should be like that the main window should get triggered. Even I have copied the main window and used it in the second page that is also not getting triggered. Please help me to resolve this issue.
With Regards,
Anomitro

Hi,
You should not create a new main window in the Second page of the smartform
Instead, you copy the main window of the first page to the second page.
So even if you add a text window in the first page Main window that will be reflected in the second page, but this should be below the command window.
Use the command window to trigger the second page.It triggers the second page and all the text windows that are after(under) the command window will be coming in a new page.

Hope this helps

How can I install new windows on NB200-10z without a CD drive?

Hi,
I have a mini laptop "Toshiba nb200-10z" and it doesnt startup anymore.
I would like to do a recovery, but it also doesnt work.
I know there is a shortcut like press the 0 button when the laptop is starting up.
With this shortcut you can start the recovery to reset the software.
But when I press the 0 button it gives me an error.
So I think the recovery drive/partition is lost.
How can I install new windows on this minilaptop without a CD drive?

I have found a much easier way to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash drive. Unlike other methods where you have to write complicated commands, this method can be completed even by those who have very little computer background.
The whole process takes only two steps, run UNetbootin, load the Windows 7 ISO file, and finally restart your computer.
Before you begin, you will require the following:
USB Flash Drive (4GB minimum)
Windows 7 ISO Image file
UNetbootin
Note: If UNetbootin doesnt work, try out the Microsofts official tool called Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool.
Now insert the USB drive, run UNetbootin, and select Disk Image as ISO. Browse your local drive for Windows 7 ISO that you downloaded and click Open. Now Select Type as USB and choose the drive. Once done, it will look like a bit similar to the screenshot shown below.
Click OK and it will begin extracting all installation files to the USB drive. The whole process will take some time (10-15 minutes), so have patience.
Once the installation is complete, reboot your computer. Now while your system is starting up press the appropriate button (usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, Backspace, or Escape) to bring up Bios Boot Menu.
Change the startup order to boot USB by default, usually you will have to press F6 to move the selected USB device on top. Once done, save changes and restart the system.

When I try to install ios lion the installer says my hard drive has SMART errors and that I need to buy a new Hard Drive, but my computer witch has snowleprd and runs just fine

When I try to install ios lion the installer says my hard drive has SMART errors and that I need to buy a new Hard Drive, but my computer witch has snowleprd and runs just fine.

SMART is a technology that monitors the drive for signs of impending failure. You can verify that SMART is indicating a problem in Disk Utility. Select the hard drive and look at the bottom of the window. It should look like this:
If the SMART status is not "Verified" then you should back up your drive and start shopping for a new one.

What is the largest and fastest Hard Drive I can install in a 17" I-7 Mac Book Pro running Final Cut Pro7 7

What is the Largest and Fastest Hard drive that can be installed in my 17" Mac Book Pro i7 duo core 2.8 I need it to be compatible with Final Cut Pro 7

One of these SSDs:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/SSDMX6G480/
An SSD is always a faster storage solution. A regular hard drive will almost ALWAYS be the bottleneck in a system, because it's the only part in a computer that has physical, moving parts. The SSD has no moving parts, so there's much less latency when reading and writing. That particular SSD is designed with professionals in mind, meaning that it will right at home rendering video in Final Cut. Hope that helps!

Clean install Windows 7 does not see my hard drive

I just bought a new h8-1234 and I want to get everything off of the hard drive. Sorry, I just like to have what I want on my hard drive, not a buch of junk that I will never use.
So, I pop in my trusty Windows & 64 bit disk, the install proceeds and stops...It's tell me to install the drivers for my hard drive and I can see that the hard drive list is empty..
I tried to find the drivers for my modle of computer, but HD drivers are not listed. Is there a generic sata driver I could try on use?

Hi:
You can try the ones I have attached, but I always thought that Windows 7 and Vista had all of the SATA drivers already installed. I've never come across a situation where W7 or Vista asked for Hard drive drivers.
They are the latest ones obtainable from AMD's site.
I see that your PC has a a new AMD 9xx chipset, and that isn't even listed on AMD's site for support.

External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware

External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware on Extreme as well as both of my Airport Expresses. Hard drive is USB connected to Extreme.

Reboot the USB drive.. assuming it is powered.. or unplug and replug a self-powered drive.. (you should not use self-powered drives on AE before the latest model.. always use a powered hub).
Does the drive now appear in finder..
If not reboot both drive and the AE.. it should now appear.
If it doesn't work with direct connection try a powered hub.. that can help.
