About VISTA and XP dual system installation issues

I'm talking about another method, which is the method of double primary partition, first you have to make sure that your D drive is in FAT32 format, and then use PQMAGIC to move the blank unused space of the D disk to between the D drive and the C disk (your Vista system disk), and then format the newly separated space into the second system main partition (note that the tool is divided into extended partitions by default), and then use the Ghost version of XP to restore to the newly formatted second main partition, and enter Vista after the restoration** A bootmagic

After installation, it will prompt you that there are 2 primary partitions with systems, and then you can set the default countdown of how many seconds to which primary partition you enter by default.

You can also set a password to enter the system, so the advantage is that when the two main partitions of the system enter the opposite system, you will not see any files from the other main partition!

Complete! As for the detailed use of PQMoch and Bootmagic, I guess you will have to check it out on the Internet.

xp you can pretend as you like!

Normal installation to C drive!

It doesn't matter if you're ghost or hard drive!

Doesn't matter! The focus is on vist, you're better off using the hard disk version, not the ghost version!

Let's say you have XP installed

First, you set the machine to the optical drive to start! Put it into the vist installation disk and reboot the machine.

Second, when you choose to install it on that disk, you have to choose it on the D disk, if you are not at ease, you can format this disk with the vist installation disk when you choose it (there is an option in it, the operation is simple, rest assured).

Thirdly, after selecting the D disk that you have reinstalled and formatted, the normal installation is finally completed, restart the machine, and take out the installation disk!

OK your XP with Vist installed successfully!

The second partition can't be installed with Vista, and the space is insufficient, and it is recommended to have 30G space if you add SP1 patch

1.To expand the second partition to more than 25G with PQ or something, it is best to format all partitions to NTFS

2.Install XP or Ghost Install XP to the first partition (C drive)3Install Vista to the second partition (D drive).

4.Patch sp1.

By the way, in a dual system, it is not possible to install Vista first and then install XPIn addition, it is important to plan the partition space first, because after installing the vista, you can't adjust the partition space like XP

You have to divide the disk space into two systems to save, otherwise it is impossible to have a dual system, because generally dual systems are not very good for the brain. There must be two systems, of course, the computer recognizes the first system to be installed, and the second system is not in the boot series, you can try it yourself.

Install XP first, then enter the XP system, put the Vista disc into the CD drive, just install VIST, and the partition should be selected in the ...... of the D drive

Space is OK.,As long as you don't put the software on the D drive, it's OK......

I've tried both systems many times and it's definitely going to ......

I installed Vista, but now I want to install the XP dual system again, and I am uploading files online.

I installed XP but I run Vista directly whenever I boot it up, and I don't start the admin menu.

I want to ask how to set up the boot management menu to let me choose which system I want, and how to set it up if I want to start XP Vista directly when I boot up by default?

Note: Vista on C drive, XP on D

disk, drive D is the extended partition NTFS

I think the problem is not here: the C drive is the main partition, and the C drive will be directly started when it is turned on, if so, how can the D drive be started first?

Is it necessary to divide the two primary partitions, and how to divide the primary partitions?

Under Vista, right-click the "Settings" button in "My Computer" - Properties - Advanced System Settings - Startup and Recovery Failures.

The pop-up page allows you to select whether the default startup is Vista or XP from the drop-down list, as well as the wait time.

The installed version of the Vista can be installed directly into the D drive (17G) without any problem.

Then set Vista's virtual memory to XP.

It's the C drive. Let them share virtual memory!

I've installed dual systems for a lot of people, but I really haven't tried to install them on two hard drives. I don't know if it's the reason for 2 hard drives. If you don't have to install 2 systems on 2 hard drives, it is recommended that you install 2 systems on one hard drive and the problem should be solved.

Although I have installed many systems or multiple systems, I don't know much about the boot mechanism of the computer, but I feel that it may be 2 hard disks that cause the installation to fail. If there is something wrong with what you say, I hope to point it out.

In addition, virtual machines are definitely different from real machines, and there are big differences. Take Microsoft's VPC as an example, its graphics card is a virtual graphics card, and the performance can be said to be very poor. And the virtual machine boot is carried out on the basis of the real machine system boot (I have also read some articles on Apple system installation, it seems that it can be booted with a virtual machine, but I have not tried it, and I will not set it up).

Virtual machine is the xp mode, right? Microsoft's ,,, is equivalent to a free genuine XP SP3

Don't toss like this.

You can install Windows XP on the machine and Windows 7 on the virtual machine.

The virtual machine software is VMware
