Have you installed Windows XP with Windows 7 and lost the ability to boot Windows 7?

Windows 7 Recovery and Dual Boot

Due to the inability to use the bootloaderNTLDR(Windows XP), you must restore the link to the Windows 7 boot loader (winload) in the master boot record (MBR) and configure it to further manage both operating systems.

Preparing and restoring the ability to boot Windows 7 is quite simple.


  1. Automatically boot from Windows 7 DVD. On the screen where you are offered “Install now”, select “Repair your computer”.


  2. The next screen looks for installed local versions of Windows 7 — there should be only one, so click Next.


  3. Next, the screen will load with System Recovery Options. Select the first option - “Startup Repair”. It will look for problems that may affect the loading of Windows 7 (for example, the lost autoloader), and automatically fix them.


  4. If you click on "Click here for diagnostic and repair details" (click here for details on diagnostics and repair) and scroll to the end of the page, you will see that the identified and fixed problem is a faulty boot sector (which we needed).


  5. Click Close, and then Finish, and after rebooting, Windows 7 will boot.


  6. Now we need to do a dual boot, and EasyBCD is the best application for this action. DownloadEasybcd(it is not necessary to fill in the “Name” and “Email” fields, just click “Download!”),mirror.


  7. Launch the app and click “Add New Entry”.


  8. On the “Windows” tab, select “Windows NT / 2k / XP / 2k3” from the list of versions.


  9. Change the drive to the one on which Windows XP was installed or, if available, select “Automatically detect correct drive” and change the name to the desired one (for example, “Windows XP”), then click “Add Entry” (add value).

  10. Reboot the system, and you will have two values ​​in the Windows 7 bootloader, which will allow you to load any operating system.

32 or 64 bits?

  • The practical part:
    In 32-bit versions of Windows XP, Vista and 7, the amount of available RAM is limited to 4GB.
    Moreover, in the properties of the system, the user sees values ​​from 2.75 to 3.5 GB. This is due to the architectural features of the OS. This version is designated 32-bit or x-86.

    In 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Vista and 7, the amount of available RAM is logically limited to 16TB. This version is designated 64-bit or x-64. In fact, Microsoft, for marketing reasons, limits the amount of memory in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, etc. depending on the type of OS license.

    Important note: 64-bit version of Windows also requires 64-bit driver versions for all PC devices (motherboard, video card, etc.), including peripherals (printer, scanner, bluetooth, etc.).
    If these drivers are not available, the device will not work.
    I came across this experience when there were no drivers for the printer, scanner, sound card and bluetooth (manufacturers usually do not release new drivers for older models, since they need to sell new products). I had to abandon the use of the 64-bit version.


  • For the average PC user, it all comes down to the following:
    If the PC has 4GB or less of RAM, then the usual, 32-bit version of the OS will suffice.

    If the PC has more than 4GB of RAM installed, then you need to install the 64-bit version of the OS.

    If the user wants to increase the RAM in the PC to increase performance, then it is only necessary to increase to 4GB, no more.

    When increasing memory, for example, from 1GB to 4GB or from 2GB to 4GB, the PC performance will not increase proportionally - 4 or 2 times.

    Visually, the operating speed of the OS will increase - the speed of loading the system, launching programs, loading / saving in games. There will also be faster switching between tasks.

How to repartition HDD without data loss without using third-party programs?

Miki01
Foreword
Now many cars (laptops and desktops) are sold with Win7 preinstalled. On laptops, often the bundle does not include a system disk, but it is proposed to create fast recovery disks yourself. At the same time, when installing the system, manufacturers do not bother with the needs of users and do not break the existing disk into logical ones. And as a result, we have a new device, which has one disk, it is also a system one, it is also a disk with programs and data. It is not always convenient for everyone. It would be logical to split the disk into several. However, if the WB is given a normal distribution of Windows and the user is free to reinstall the system in a way that is convenient for him, then without a second thought, the recovery disks simply restore the status quo at the time of the initial installation in accelerated mode without a suggestion to repartition the disk.
Here I also faced such task. Attempts to use third-party utilities were stuck either in their reluctance to be installed, then in the offer to buy the key, then in the refusal to work under an unknown system ... After searching the Internet, in one of the forums, along with offers to use various LiveCD options with Linux systems or reinstall using the system when reinstalling FDISK or a regular disk partitioning program in the Windows installer, I found a solution to my problem.
It turned out that everything was already invented before us ...
  1. Go to the "Disk Management" (The easiest way:Win + R >diskmgmt.msc >Enter. Either: Start menu ->Call the context menu (right mouse button) on the “Computer” icon ->"Management" ->"Disk Management").
  2. Call the context menu (right mouse button) on the area of ​​the C drive and select "Compress Volume".
  3. Enter the size of the remaining disk space (or agree with the proposal to split the disk in half) and after a short wait, we have drive C and unallocated space after it. However, no reinstallation of the system is required. Then - everything is simple. The remaining space is divided into logical disks, formatted, and we have an obscure screw, already marked up for our needs and habits.
If there is no desire to mess around with renaming the discs, then before creating the logical discs, we rename the DVD drive, assigning it the letter Z. Then, the other logical discs will immediately fall into place. Then the drive can return the letter following the last logical one.

P.S. Vista has similar functionality.

What is SLIC?

In Windows 7, as in Windows Vista, there is the possibility of a three-component OEM OFF-LINE activation. The combination of ALL the three components of the OEM activation procedure, namely (OEM SLP Key + OEM Certificate + Full SLIC Table = Windows 7 Activated Offline), makes it possible to activate Windows 7 without the Internet!
Here are the main components of OEM OFF-LINE activation:

OEM SLP (System-Locked Pre-installation) - a special twenty-five-digit OEM SLP key-license, available only to major iron producers.
OEM Certificate- special OEM file certificate. Every major PC maker, Microsoft provides its personal certificate file!
BIOS ACPI_SLIC TABLE- A special SLIC (Software Licensing Description Table) is a table stitched by the PC manufacturer in the system BIOS.

Why is installing Windows 7 very long?

Ernesto Guevara de la Serna Date • 10.29.2010, 02:07

I earn additionally on setting up computers, and then I encountered one problem: the installation of the Seven drags on painfully for a long time. Before launching a window with a choice of language, etc. it takes almost 10 minutes and then the installation is delayed for hours ... I did not wait until the end of the installation. Had to put XP ...
It turned out that there is no physical flop, but it is included in the BIOS. The solution is this: it is necessary to disable the "links" to the floppy in the BIOS.
PS maybe it was already such an advice, but once again it will not hurt to duplicate it, and I think it should be fixed in a hat too.

What is the product key of the product key and why do I need it?

The product key “product key” is a long sequence of letters and numbers used to activate Windows and verify the origin of your copy of the operating system.
You need to use this key to activate the operating system no later than 30 days after its installation, otherwise you will begin to receive persistent reminders to activate.

How in Windows 7 disable / enable "Control Panel"?

Suppose there is one common computer in your family, and all your relatives, relatives and even your friends can work on it. But you do not want them to enter the control panel. Fortunately for you, with the help of not complicated operations, you can turn it off. In general, disabling the control panel will be very useful if inexperienced users are working on your computer (or, on the contrary, too experienced) and you do not want them to make any changes to the system settings.
Disabling the control panel using group policies
Comment:This method uses the local group policy editor, which is not available in the Home editions of Windows 7. If you have just such an operating system, immediately move on to the registry editing method.
  1. First click on the Start button, type gpedit.msc in the search field and press Enter.
  2. After opening the local group policy editor, go to "User Configuration" ->Administrative Templates ->Control Panel.
  3. Double click on Deny access to the control panel.
    Attached Image

  4. In the next window, select “Enable”, click “OK” and then close the local group policy editor.
This option prevents the launch of the program Control.exe, which is responsible for the operation of the control panel. As a result, users cannot open the Control Panel window or launch any of the control panel items.
This option also removes the Control Panel command from the Start button menu and the Control Panel folder from the Explorer tree.
Now, if a user tries to select the Control Panel command in the Properties item in the context menu, a message is displayed that the operation has been canceled due to restrictions on the computer and asking to contact the administrator.
Disable the control panel by editing the registry
To disable the control panel, you can also use the registry edit. This method will work on all versions of Windows 7, Vista and XP.
Anywaybefore making any changes to the registry, you should make a backup of the registry.
  1. Click on the Start button, type in the search fieldregeditand press Enter.
  2. In the left pane of the registry editor, go to
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer

  3. If there is no Explorer section, then it needs to be created.
    Attached Image

  4. Then in the right pane of the editor, click in an empty place with the right mouse button and create a new DWORD (32-bit) parameter.
    Attached Image

  5. Name the new parameterNoControlPanel. Then click on it with the right mouse button and select "Edit ..."
  6. In the “Value” field, enter the number 1 and click OK.
  7. Then close the registry editor and restart the computer to complete the process.
    After booting the computer, users will no longer see the control panel.
If you yourself want to return the control panel, just go to the registry editor again, change the value of the NoControlPanel parameter created by yourself to 0 and restart the computer.
