  1. Attempting to Dual Boot Windows 7 On My Windows 10 Machine, Get an Error Instead


    Hello! This is my first time posting on the Microsoft forums, and I need your help. I have been attempting to dual-boot Windows 7 Ultimate with Windows 10 Home, I did a bit of research, and found that I needed an ISO file of sorts. I got the file in question from this website.


    After downloading, I put it onto a 64GB Cruzer Glide USB and made it bootable via Windows 7 Bootable USB Drive maker, a Microsoft program that I downloadedhere.


    After running and having to install bootsect.exe from a shady website, I was able to get it working. I copied the files onto the USB device and ran the program. Upon running, it takes me through the motions of downloading Windows 7 Ultimate. I get all the way through setup with Windows 10 running in the background until I need to restart my PC. I am greeted by Windows Boot Manager, prompting me to finish setting up Windows 7 Ultimate. Upon hitting enter, I get an error screen

    Attempting to Dual Boot Windows 7 On My Windows 10 Machine, Get an Error Instead [​IMG]

    I don't have an installation disc, so I can't re-insert it. Pressing F8 results in the same screen being displayed. I can still boot into Windows 10, but upon entering the desktop, I see a pop-up telling me that the installation could not be completed. Any fixes or solutions to this problem? If not, is there a way to disable to dual-boot screen upon powering on my laptop?

    :)

    Attempting to Dual Boot Windows 7 On My Windows 10 Machine, Get an Error Instead

    Dual boot Windows 7 with Vista problem!

    I have windows 7 as my main OS and I am trying to install windows vista on it own partition for a dual boot configuration but when trying to install vista from my pen drive at the very beggining when starting to copying files it stops with this error: [0x0604ad] IBS Callback_CopySetupFiles:An error occurred while copying Setup files. Error code is [0x80070070][gle=0x00000070]

    This stop error only shows up when installing vista from a pen drive! Using the Vista DVD it installs fine!

    SO i wonder what is going on here? Seems installing vista from a pen drive to dual boot with windows 7 is not possible!

    Only from DVD I can install vista for a dual boot configuration all is fine!

    Can someone tell me what is the culprit here any experiences like this?
