Powering & dual booting a new 23" ADC with a g4 dual 450 AGP

Hello,
I have a dual G4 450, with an upgraded ATI 9000 pro card (64mb) with DVI.
I dual boot OSX & 9.2.2.
Will my setup allow me to drive a new Apple 23" ADC in both operating systems problem free?
Will OS 9.2.2 restrict any needed functions for the display to operate fully while in 9.2.2?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi
If it's a dual 450MHz (with the original processors) it's probably a Gigabit Ethernet G4 rather than an AGP G4, so should support a graphics card with an Apple Display Connector.
The older style 23" Cinema display (with a clear acrylic enclosure and three legs) uses an Apple Display Connector. The newer style 23" Cinema display (with an aluminium enclosure and single foot) uses a DVI connector. Both should work with a Radeon 9000 in a Gigabit Ethernet G4 without the need for any adapters, as the card comes with ADC and DVI ports and drives digital flat panels upto 1920x1200.
I'd double check but I think the monitor should work under OS 9, although some of the buttons may not work as expected. The following article refers to the 20" Cinema display although I expect it's also applicable to the 23" display:

Windows 8.0 new dual boot GUI disappeared and replaced with text menu after installing updated 8.0 and 8.1

I upgraded my windows xp to windows 8.0 and my windows 7 to windows 8.1 for a dual boot environment. I am using BCDEDIT program. I had no problem when booting to the GUI menu OF WINDOWS 8 when I first INSTALLED Windows 8. But after the second time
I booted from a cold start it defaulted back to the old text version of the dual boot menu from the old windows xp and 7 . I have tried many times to restore the boot mgr TO GET BACK THE WINDOWS 8 GUI but I can't seem to put my
finger on the root cause remedy that would over-ride the default TEXT VERSION STYLE. I really like the Windows 8 GUI interface. Remember I am not having any problems with booting into the OS of my choice ----- just the BOOTMENUPOLICY.
Here is where I need to resolve the new from the old command. By the way Does the Bcdedit program need to be installed in both OS'S? And when original Windows 7 was installed the os partitioned a Boot 100mb. I cannot remove or delete it in my Disk Management.
Just some other tidbits to ponder from any help I would appreciate.
Thanks
Michael

Hi,
What's the status of your current system boot option? Please check and make sure Windows 8.1 or Windows 8 was first boot.

New to Mac... I have partitioned my hard drive Dual Boot M.Lion/S. Leopard with 2 OS partitions and a Media Partition. How do I direct my file storage to the Media Partition? Can I put a "Media" folder on both OS Desktops that will allow me to drag n drop

New to Mac... I have Partitioned my MacBookPro with Dual Boot Partitions running M.Lion and S. Leopard and a seperate media partition.
How do I assign my storage to the MEDIA Partition once I am booted in either OS?
Can I place a folder on my desktop so I can read/write ALL my media to?

Why not? Make a folder in your media partition and put an alias folder (shortcut) on the desktop of each partition/ OS. You can right click on the folder in the media partition and click on "make alias".
If you want to direct your iTunes media to point to the media partition, google "move iTunes library to external disk" and follow the steps; the instructions should be the same for a seperate partition as it is for an external drive.

[SOLVED] How to dual boot windows on separate drive with syslinux

I'm trying to follow the directions from the arch syslinux wiki to add a windows dual boot option to my current syslinux.
I have two hard drives: sda (windows MBR) and sdc (arch linux GPT). My BIOS is set to boot sdc, and syslinux is currently installed fine to boot arch linux off of sdc. I would like to add an entry to boot windows.
I added an entry to /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg that looks like
LABEL windows
MENU LABEL Windows
COM32 chain.c32
APPEND mbr:0xf00f1fd3 # my actual identifier for sda from fdisk is here
When I rebooted, I saw the new entry in the syslinux menu. When I went to arch linux, it booted fine. When I rebooted again and selected windows, it hung with a blinking underscore. The next time I rebooted, it didn't even get to the syslinux menu and just hung with a blinking underscore.
I booted from my rescue arch usb drive. In fdisk, sdc's partition table now mirrored sda's! In other words, it looked like I had windows partitions on my linux drive, and it had the same MBR identifier even though it was supposed to be GPT. I ran gdisk /dev/sdc, it detected both GPT and MBR, and I asked it to use the GPT table and wrote out the partitions, and my drive looked normal again. I ran arch-chroot, syslinux-install_update, and everything was fine the next time I booted.
Any advice on how I can set up windows dual boot with syslinux?

I am assuming that you use Bios and not UEFI (I am not that quite familiar with UEFI).
1) You must configure the Bios to boot from the disk where syslinux is installed, having a correct mbr and with syslinux correctly installed.
2) The disk where windows reside must be bootable by itself with a valid mbr.
It may be possible that windows try to boot from the linux disk (and of course fails), try to add the swap option to the chain command.
To check if Windows is correctly installed, try to boot it directly from the Bios.
The mbr of the syslinux disk should be gptmbr.bin:
dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/gptmbr.bin of=/dev/sd<letter of the linux disk> bs=440 count=1
Warning: Be very careful with what you do with dd, it is very easy to destroy all your data!

Help: Dual Boot Vista/XP (multiple partitions) with Rescue and Recovery?

So I re-installed my Thinkpad and want to dual boot Windows XP and Vista Ultimate on separate partitions. I'm using the Windows XP pre-load and a separately licensed Vista Ultimate.
I first installed XP preload and did a backup with RnR. Then I'm installing Vista Ultimate by shrinking the XP partition and creating a new partition for Vista. I plan to use RnR in XP to do another backup from the base and hoping it will backup Vista as well. Will RnR backup both the Vista and XP partition correctly so that when I recovery in the future, it will restore both?
I don't want to blow it and have to redo the whole thing. Help would be much appreciated!
edit: This didn't work, as RnR only allows you to backup as many as partitions as your base image had....

hi
you say that you have a vista Ultimate did you try making a windows image from the back up and recovery in vista? in that way both of your xp and vista can be save to an hdd or a set of DVD'S(as a back up image)
else try using acronis true image it should work out ...good luck!

i could not understand the reason

Hi,
What is the STOP error while BSOD occurred? You could try to troubleshoot BSOD with the following method.

Dual Boot Windows 7 and Arch with Shared NTFS partition.

Hi everyone,
I want to dual boot windows 7 and Arch Linux.
Here's the problem... my hard drive isn't the biggest. I want to store all my music, movies, pictures, and documents on partition that both linux and windows can access seamlessly.
I want the partition to be NTFS. -- (the programs that map an ext4 drive to Windows are trash).
Here's what I think I need.
30GB NTFS to Windows.
30GB ext4 to Arch Linux
The remainder (190ish GB) to Shared Data.
I don't want the swap partition because I have a SSD and 4GB of RAM.
What is the best way to setup my partitions? And is this even possible?
Thanks!

Not a problem. I would create:
First of four primary partitions for windows.
Second of four primary partitions for /boot
Third of four partitions is an extended partition encompassing all the space not used by the first two partitions.
Put everything else inside the extended partition.
Mine is a bit more complicated, but this should give you an idea:

Dual booting Windows 7 and Vista on dv9620 on dual hard drives

Hi this might look like a repeat question but i haven't seen it answered by anyone that has tried it.
I downloaded the release candidate of Windows 7 and i want to dual boot it on my notebook.
The drives I have available are Disc0 which holds C: (the drive running Vista) and E: the HP_Recovery partition.
Then I have Disc1 which holds D: the Data drive and nothing else.
I want to run Windows 7 on the D: drive So can anyone who has done this tell me how they did it? Most of the dual booting how to's I've seen are for for booting on seperate partitions a single hard drive and because i'm something of a novice to this I would like some advice with more reference to my situation.

Hello and welcome,
You can probably finagle the partitions to allow for dual boot: copy the contents of D: to C: and delete D:, for instance. Speculating, since I don't have an IdeaPad to test on. You usually/probably/maybe lose the OneKey Recovery feature if you touch the partitions.
Others here on the Linux board may have been able to preserve OKR, but I'll leave that to them to describe since I haven't done it.
Long way of leading up to the question: is it sufficient to run Linux in a virtual machine, or as a WUBI install within windows? That keeps things simple and makes backups much easier as well.
Whatever you do, burn your recovery media first. Now.

Dual Booting OEM WIN 8.1 with Win 8.1 with UEFI enabled

I am a college student.I use Lenovo Z510 which has full UEFI with 1TB hdd of which 931gb is free.I shrinked it to 2 X 465 GB partitions of which one has oem install of win 8.1 with my personal stuff and games.My course requires a clean install of win 8.1 for various softwares like creo, catia.I want to install a clean win 8.1 for college and projects on my second partition with the same oem license...I have prepared a fresh win 8.1 usb with windows media creation tool....but i dont know how to proceed for a sucessful full UEFI installationhow do i do that ? guys ..help me...when i googled it came across efi and two other partitions...what should i do ?also i have no plans to upgrade to win 10 as it doesnt support the existing versions of design softwarea

I tried to boot windows from UEFI shell ( tried to map all the possible partitions with command "map"
) , but had no success. (when going, for example, into blk0: ; writing : "ls", error was displayed : "no file exists"
Looks like you were trying to use UNIX commands? <eg>
Try using diskpart instead?
Robert Aldwinckle
There have been some cases where an EFI deployment of Windows has failed, and you have to use the system's EFI shell to boot the OS manually. The 'map' command is used after booting into the shell (if it does not run by default) to show which volumes exist
on the system.

The specs for the tablet in question seem to indicate it only has 16GB "disk" for the OS to use. A standard Windows 8.1 core/pro would not be viable and Windows 8.1 with Bing is not available to the public. Since the tablet is already licensed
for Windows 8.1 with Bing, it would be best to get the recovery solution from the manufacturer. Otherwise you'd have to purchase a new license and then the OS may not have enough space to install/use properly.

Dual Boot Pre install Windows 7 with oracle linux on a dell laptop

I'm new in linux. want to install oracle linux on my dell aptop. it has existing windows 7. how can i install oracle linux without affecting win 7 files.
is oracle linux can be install on laptop.

My advice to you is, since you have established such a reputation on this board, on issues that you don't have any knowledge or don't feel comfortable about, please just keep quiet. I don't think your job is to answer every question that has been posted on this board. Recklessly, or worse, knowingly, providing a wrong answer is much worse than no answer at all. These are serious personal accusations. Are you trying to make some noise to create some visibility for yourself? Please don't steal any of my limelight! ;-)
Personally, I don't particularly appreciiate many of your responses to some of the questions that I posted. To me, your responses are rude, idiotic (and insults to my intelligence)!Sorry, I have no idea what makes you so upset. Are you just making this up? What questions and answers are you taking about?
Are you referring to this post: Ralink RT5390 Does Not Work on the UEK Kernel
May I quote/remind you of your own posting:
We installed OL6.3 and Ubuntu 12.04 on a new Asus X45A notebook. It has a Ralink RT5390 wireless card. With Ubuntu, both wifi and video work flawlessly. However, the wifi driver (from elrepo) does not work for the the uek kernel (2.6.39). While the wifi driver works when boot into the RHEL kernel (2.6.32), it created an "even bigger problem" in that the video starts at about 1/10 from the left edge of the screen.
But again, please no one be fooled by my overly optimistic and simplistic comments*. The reality is, I am glad OL6 desktop works at all.
* For example, I actually installed OL6 on 4 notebooks, one of them "does not work" because I couldn't dim the screen. I did not intend to lie, but subconsciously, I somewhat forgot that there was this failed case.
So what are you really trying to tell us/me here?
I think you have shot yourself in the foot here. I'm afraid the best I can offer to you is to remove my response if you remove your post.

I want to dual boot windows 7 and Arch with an HDD caddy.

I am thinking of two possiblities with this scenario. I want to first leave my windows 7 install on the hard drive that came with my laptop, and leave that HDD where it is, but in a few days, i'm getting a caddy so i can switch my optical drive for another HDD, which is going to be a 250gb. On the 250, i want to experiment with arch, and maybe other linux distros, so i can get a nice feel for linux once again, it's been about 2 years since I've played with it. What i am hoping to maybe do is switch those hard drives out, if I can get a linux install i feel 100% comfortable with, and running the windows HDD in the caddy, and the linux HDD installed in the motherboard.
I just have a few questions though. First, is it possible to boot Arch when it is an HDD caddy? and second, would windows possibly work if i moved that hard drive into the caddy later?

perpulstuph wrote:First, is it possible to boot Arch when it is an HDD caddy? and second, would windows possibly work if i moved that hard drive into the caddy later?
Yes, and yes. Both should be quite easy.
You should be able to set you BIOS to boot from one or the other - or alternately you can chainload windows from a linux boot loader quite easily (if/when linux is on the drive that the BIOS has selected to boot).

Dual Boot Linux and Windows problem with HDDRecovery

Hello
I`m using dual OS Windows Vista and Linux open SUSE distribution on Toshiba Satellite A350-10z, everything is working great except Windows Recovery. I have Linux (boot:dev/sda6) and Windows Vista (boot:dev/sda2). Windows has 2 partitions, Disk C and D, on Disc D i have HDDRecovery folder. After F8 i using the repair option and waiting, then the massage is displayed "The installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer".
Before i installed Linux the Recovery worked fine. Is there a chance of using the HDDRecovery from Windows Disk D or i have to boot from Recovery DVD?

In my opinion Linux has muddled up the partitions or MBR and possibly this is the reason why the HDD recover does not work seems the Recover DVD is your option ion order to set the notebook back to factory settings.
By the way: I didnt install the Linux on my notebook but I use Linux using the Knoppix Live CD
