Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Setup and Deployment / March 2007how to install xp as 2nd operation system
I have upgraded my window to vista, but found out that half my programmes are not compatable to it. (Adobe video collection (include premiere 1.5, encore, aftereffect), dymo lable writer... etc) I almost need to upgrade everything as well, (including video card, motherbroard, ram). Anyway, I now find out that you can run 2 operating system in one computer, and I tried to installed window xp in my 2nd hard drive. But I can not switch between the 2 windows, as my system can only recognise 1 system. What did I do wrong and how can I fixed this? Many thanks ... > Anyway, I now find out that you can run 2 operating system in one computer, > and I tried to installed window xp in my 2nd hard drive.

The easiest way to do that is to install VistaBootPRO: http://www.vistabootpro.org/ Click on the Bootloader icon and 'reinstall Vista bootloader'. Thank you. I will try that. > .... > > Anyway, I now find out that you can run 2 operating system in one computer, [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Click on the Bootloader icon and 'reinstall Vista bootloader'. >I have upgraded my window to vista, but found out that half my programmes >are [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > What did I do wrong and how can I fixed this? > Many thanks Did you use an upgrade version of Vista to go from XP to Vista? If so per the Vista upgrade license you cannot have both the upgrade version of Vista and the qualifying OS (in this case XP) installed at the same time. It's one or the other. To do a dual boot you need another licensed copy of XP or you need to start with a full edition of Vista.  SignatureRock [MS-MVP User/Shell] Thank you. I have managed to do it. Just the pain to reformat the hard drive and re doing everything again. Now I have 2 system working, but not sure if the computer can cope. I have 2 seperate hard drive. Thanks for your responds > >I have upgraded my window to vista, but found out that half my programmes > >are [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > one or the other.

Whether it works or not, you are violating your EULA and displaying a lack of integrity. > Thank you. I have managed to do it.

Since virtually no one buys a full edition to upgrade, the XP license is no longer valid. If, in fact the OP purchased a full version, I apologise. > How is she violating EULA? > [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] >>>> XP or >>>> you need to start with a full edition of Vista. |
