YOGA 2 - 1051F Windows 8.1 Dual boot Android

Hello,
I have a YOGA 2 Tablet 1051-F under Windows 8.1 and I want to install Android in dual boot mode.
I made an USB stick bootable with Android IMG but the tablet don't want to boot on it. I checked the UEFI and Secure is OFF --> no succes.
I also download on this site the UEFI Tools & Diagnostic, I can see it in the BIOS option but when I want to but on it, nothing append.
Any idea to help me ?
Many thanks

HT4718 I have bought a used mac air 2 which is now running windows .Who ever installed it has given all of the drive capacity over to boot camp.I now want to restore lio but want to know if there isa way of keeping windows as a dual boot .

Hi. i have bought a two month old Mac air book 11.6 with 64 gb ssd .The previous owner installed windows and I want to reinstall Lion.Is there a way to do this and keep windows as a dual boot system.If so what size partition is best for windows..I am new to apples having always had PC,s .When the previos owner istalled windows he made the whole drive something called bootcamp.Help!! Roy

Before you do anything else, I would make a copy of the Windows system on to an external hard disk. Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) will help you do this.
Bootcamp partition needs to be set up using Bootcamp Assistant, from within Lion. There are sometimes problems using third party disk management apps, and the partition order is important too.
I suspect the previous owner should have re-installed his original OS before giving you the computer. Are you saying that there is no Lion on it at present? If so, you will need to get it, or if it was Snow Leopard, the installation disk, from him. In the latter case, with SL 10.6.8 installed, you can then access MAS to buy Lion.
Once you have Lion installed you can setup Bootcamp and restore your Windows system to it, from the external disk.

Attempted to install windows 7 for dual boot but OSX installation now missing???

I've tried to install Wndows 7 on my macbook air for dual boot but got the kernal error on boot.
I loaded from the CD again and it sucessfully installed win 7 but when I start the macbook air up it only appears to have windows installed?
How can I get my OSX back?

For some odd reason when you use bootcamp to install the second OS bootcamp is defaulted as the primary OS you will need to hold option key to select the apple OS then in the sys preference under startup disk select apple as primary.

Windows 8.1 dual boot after image

Hey guys
I'm having a little weird thingy with my dual boot systems at work... I've been Google-ing a while, but can't find anything about it. Allow me to explain.
I have a classroom with 16 computers running Windows 7 Professional. Because a course of Windows 8.1 will start next month, I have to install a dual boot system in that classroom. So, like normally, I take one PC to my office, create an extra partition,
install Windows 8.1 on it, do the necessary configurations and place the Win 7 partition as default. No problems there.
After the install and configuration, I create an image of the Windows 8 partition, the system state and MBR. So actually, I have an image of all the available partitions, except the Win 7 partition. After creating an image, I'm going back to the classroom
and install it on the PC's. After putting the image of the partitions, one problem arrives and that's the MBR. But after a few commands (bootrec /fixmbr, bootrec /fixboot, bootrec /scanos, bootrec /rebuildbcd), that problem is solved.
So, everything is ready to rock! Or so I thought... Here's my real problem now. When you boot the PC, you get the new blue boot option of Win 8 where you can choose which OS to boot. Well, when I select the Win 7 partition as default, I get the old DOS screen
for that. Ok fine, not a big problem, but the problem goes deeper.
With Win 8.1 you have two ways of shutting down a PC: either via right mousse click on the start button followed with 'shut down', or use the charms bar. If I do it the way with the start button, the PC boots in the Win 7 OS by default (just as I want it to
be). BUT when I shutdown the PC via the charms bar, the PC skips the "select OS to boot" menu and immediately starts Win 8!
I hope my entire explanation is clear to understand... So, anyone advice?
NOTE: On the source PC (created with the DVD and pulled the image from) is this problem not happening.

Hi,
You can follow the steps below to check your default boot system:
Press Win+R, open Run, use msconfig
command to open System Configuration.
After that, switch to Boot tab. Then check which system was default.

Like I said in my original post, the Windows 7 was default. But thanks to Brandon, the problem is solved now.

Arch and preinstalled windows 7 UEFI dual boot troubles

Hi guys, I have a UEFI pc already with windows 7 on and want to dual boot arch. Problem is the current uefi partition is only 100mb and whenever i try to install a bootloader in the arch install it gives the message 'not enough room on partition'. is there a way i can increase the current uefi partition size without effecting the windows install?

Try checking how much free space you actually have on the ESP. 100MB is smaller than most people here recommend, but it should be big enough to hold the Windows boot loader, a Linux boot loader or boot manager, and at least two or three (probably more like ten or fifteen) Linux kernels and initrd files. If the 100MiB is nearly used up, then that suggests that something unusual is chewing up a bunch of space, and you can probably delete those files. This is just a task of routine file management -- identify what's consuming the space and delete anything that you don't need. The trick is figuring out what you don't need, so if you're uncertain of something, post back with details (for instance, "I've found 70 1MiB .png files in the Foo/Bar directory; do I need them?").
If something is legitimately consuming that much space, you can either create a second ESP (although that could cause problems down the road if you need to re-install Windows) or resize your partitions. Chances are you've got a Windows partition that immediately follows the ESP. Resizing it so you can increase the ESP's size is possible, but will require resizing the Windows partition from the front. This is risky and is likely to be time-consuming, so be sure to back up before you do it. Another possibility would be to create a larger ESP elsewhere on the disk, copy the contents of the first ESP to the new one, and delete the original. The 100MB of unused space would be wasted, or maybe you could find a way to use it (swap space comes to mind, although 100MB is tiny by modern swap space standards). On a modern disk, 100MB of wasted space is likely to be trivial -- for instance, on a 1TB disk, 100MB is just 0.01% of the total disk space.
As cfr says, some boot loaders/managers, such as rEFInd and GRUB, enable you to load your kernels from something other than the ESP. Thus, if you're running out of space because you've got big kernels or initrd files, you could put them elsewhere and use just a small amount of space on the ESP for the boot loader/manager.

Windows 7 instal dual boot

I'm trying to install windows 7 as a dual boot. I downloaded easybcd to take care of the dual boot start selection. Then proceeded with usb instal which didn't work. So I then downloaded the iso and burned to disk. Which wouldn't load (yes bios had dvd as first boot), but I then just went into windows 8, found the setup, which started. When I clicked update and instal it hung and crashed. But when I hit don't update and install. It did just fine. Went through the whole install and down the list of like 5 items 0-100%.
But now, after rebooting after installing, it just sits at the starting windows screen, with the red green blue yellow windows 'flag' flashing brighter/softer. Its been there for like 20 min. After rebooting, I get options for windows 7, windows 8, or windows installer. If I try 7 I get error right away and it restarts me, if I choose 8 it loads me into my normal windows 8. IF I choose installer, it brings me back to the starting windows screen.
I don't know if its still installing things, as the windows flag is flashing brighter and then softer over and over, but its been again another 30 min and its still there. No % marker or anything.
I haven't installed any drivers (which I have saved on d:/ and on a usb as well) as I haven't had the opportunity nor know when to install them other than after windows starts.
Any help much appreciated.

I tried that, but when I get to the select a drive/partition screen, it that's where it says cannot install on that drive/partition. No option to continue. But, once I get my super raid daughter board and my 3x 480gb crucial m550 msata drives, I will just have one msata set up gpt for windows 8, one set for ntfs and for windows 7, and then the third will have to be my scratch disk. I'll then use my 2.5" 1tb Samsung evo for all data, source files, and use my external enclosure with 1tb Samsung evo for my export. Wish there was a way to get the new gt72 4x m.2 sata daughter board.

About:config settings change by themselves when switching between windows/linux on dual-boot machine with profile shared between OSs

I dual-boot ubuntu and windows7, and have set up firefox to use the same profile data when running under either OS. This works great, except:
(1) each time I switch OSs and start firefox, it runs the "checking add-on compatibility" test (which is a minor annoyance)
(2) each time I start firefox in ubuntu after recently using it under windows, the about:config setting "browser.backspace.action" gets reset from my preferred setting (0) to the default setting (2).
How can I prevent these two things from happening?

Maybe it is better to use separate profiles for each OS and create symlinks or hard links to the sqlite databases that you want to share.
Your Linux profile may be using extensions (e.g. Ubuntu Firefox Modifications) that modify specific settings and in such a case you can't really prevent this.<br />
You can use a user.js file to initialize specific prefs on each start, but that makes it impossible to make changes on the about:config page that last the current session and you need to remember which prefs are affected.

How to re-enable Beats speakers and sub woofer after configured Windows 8/Ubuntu dual boot?

HP ENvy DV7-7240us
Windows 8 / Linux Ubuntu Dual Boot
No Sound through two front Beats speakers or sub woofer both operating systems after installed Ubuntu 12.10 as dual boot.
Is there a way to at least re-enable the Beats speakers and sub woofer in Windows 8 when I boot on that OS? I am using the UEFI as the boot manager by hitting ESC / F9, and not GRUB2 (Linux).
I did update to "BIOS" (UEFI) F.22 concurrently with the dual boot...possibly this has something to do with it?
I would like to keep the dual boot, but the loss of the Beats speakers is kind of a deal breaker, and virtualization of Linux seems to be buggy in its own right.
I tried re-enabling the sound through right clicking on the speaker icon in the tray, and configuring Playback devices. The only option available is IDT High Definition Audio Codec. Is there another device listing for the Beats speakers that I am missing?
Only other minor issue with the hardware I am aware of is only on the Linux side, that being no pinch to zoom on track pad, which I try not to use anyway.
Thank you.

Have you tried resetting BIOS settings to default? Enter BIOS by tapping/holding F10 key immediately after powering on.Reset to Default settings, usually tap F9,check bottom of screen for correct key.Save & Exit.

Question about the "Windows and Arch Dual Boot" wiki

I've been reading this wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Win … _Dual_Boot to get a better understanding of what I need to do to install Arch along side of my XP installation and there's one point that I don't understand. Here it is
It is important to note that there is a 1024 cylinder limit with some older BIOSs. This means that the BIOS cannot access things beyond the 1024th cylinder (about 8.5GB), so the /boot partition should be in the first 8.5GB (space before Windows partition).
How does one go about getting the /boot partition created during the installation of Arch to install in the first 8.5g? I have installed Arch in Virtualbox twice so far just so that I'm familiar with the procedure and I can't see anything in the installation where I can do this.
There's one other item that is not clear to me as I've seen conflicting information on it. If I do create a seperate "/boot" partition for Arch, do I need to make it "bootable"during the installation? At this point I don't think that I do.
My understanding of installing to be able to dual boot is that I only need to install Grub to "Sda" and of course edit the grub menu to add the information needed for XP. Is this enough?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, you install grub to sda (master boot record), and add the entry for Windows. In the step where you partition the harddrive, you can choose where to create it. Actually it may not be that much of a problem anymore, my boot is on the third partition, after ~15 GB. You can forget about the bootable flag when using grub, it does not care.

Installing Arch Linux after Windows 7 64bit dual boot

Total noob here ^^
Im trying to install Arch Linux after my installation of Windows 7, without fucking up that one...
I freed up 50GB and removed it from my Windows boot partition, so Arch can be installed there, I have almost absolutely no experience with this kind of stuff since I've only used Ubuntu and Kali Linux before.
I've got a working arch image on my usb stick and i somehow can't figure out, how to install it without touching the existing partitions.
Is it possible to create a working dual boot, without changing my windows configuration?

yes its possible. What research have you done in order to install Arch. We do not hand hold here in this community. Go read up the appropriate wiki pages and ask specific questions with details in case you get stuck.
Start with the Beginners Guide.

HP Notebook 250 64 bit Windows 7+ Ubuntu Dual Boot - Not starting!

Hello,
I have dual boot installed on the above mentioned laptop. While working, I was prompted to update flashplayer. Once the update was complete, the computer restarted and the usual dual boot menu did not appear. The machine keeps attempting to load it, fails then reverts back to shutting down and starting again. I ran diagnostic and the machine passed both hard drive and memory tests.
I have UEFI on the machine and have therefore tried to look for solutions here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01442956#N150
nothing applies since I don't get any error messages. Nevertheless, I tried a system reset, which did nothing.
This is some of what my system information outputs:
Notebook Model: HP 250 G1 Notebook PC
Product Number: H6Q66EA#ABU
Serial Number: [edited]
System Board id: 1854
Bios Version : F.3A
Any help would be valuable. Thank you!!!!

[SOLVED]Arch Linux, and Windows 8.1 Dual Boot issue

Hi guys. I recently bought a new laptop, and decided to run Arch Linux and Windows 8.1. I installed Windows 8.1 first as recommended by the beginners guide, and then installed Arch Linux. I made sure UEFI was enabled in my BIOS, and made sure everything was on a GPT partition. The install itself went fine. My laptop loads grub, and Arch Linux shows up and boots, but there is no option to boot into Windows 8.1. The only way I can boot into Windows 8.1 is by accessing my motherboard, and choosing to launch the windows boot manager instead of the grub launcher. How can I get Windows 8.1 to show up in grub? Thanks in advance guys.

Yeah just ran this after installing os prober

Yeah I'm sure I'm doing something wrong lol. I did not install OS-Prober. I think that's where the issue is. I'm missing the menu entry in grub.cfg right? Do I just run os prober or do I have to manually edit grub.cfg.
If that's not the case then here is what I did up until now. What I did was start with a blank SSD drive. I used cgdisk to make the disk use a GPT partitioning scheme. I installed windows 8.1 and checked in windows to make sure it boots into UEFI-GPT mode and it does. I then installed arch linux using the beginners guide. I made sure to use cgdisk to create any extra partitions, and installed GRUB to the efi partition that windows had created ( I did not format this partition ). I then finished the installation and rebooted, and Grub only shows arch linux. I don't think I'm dealing with anything MBR related. I made sure I used the GPT partitioning scheme....i think lol.
All you need to do is run os-prober then run grub-mkconfig. It should pick up Windows at that point.

How to install windows 7 in dual boot on Satellite M840?

Hi,
I got this M-840 Notebook a week ago pre-installed with windows 8. I cannot replace the OS with windows 7 as most of my applications are Win 8 incompatible. I tired clean install - doesn't work. I created a NTFS partition and tried installing win 7 on the new partition, but it just doesnt beyond "Starting Windows' Screen. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
C4I-OPS

>. I tired clean install - doesn't work
To install Windows 7 on the Win8 notebook you need to change some settings in BIOS.
Firstly you have to disable the secure boot in BIOS.
Secondly switch from UEFI BIOS to CSM and save the changes.
Now you should be able to install Win 7
But before doing this I recommend creating the Toshiba recovery medium (flash USB memory or recovery disk
