Dual Boot?

I can help here iv had both i used partition magic to split my HDD and i installed vista on one and xp was already on the other only problem is id watch out if i were you for some reason vista does not like to dual boot iv seen this on a couple of my machines and my buddys. so step one have xp installed step 2 find a partitioner of your choice i dont know of any except partition magic and the one included on xp...only thing is i dont think the one on xp will even partition them...then pop in your vista DVD and select the drive of your choice....the only thing i can think of that causes vista to hate dual booting sooo much is that when their are 2 OS's installed xp uses its own prog to list them on boot well vista uses a totally diff boot loader than the previous os's and i think they conflict the problems i hade were the standard missing windows folder missing HAL.dll and the nt one dont remember the name.....that and after your done vista and boot into xp things didnt like to start correctly specially if you scan disk with vista.

 

Can't Boot From DVD Drive; DVD Drive Missing From BIOS!?

As mentioned in my first post, the DVD writer is seen by Windows 10, and I can run/play disks within the drive. The Microsoft help relates to drive not seen by the operating system. But as my drive is seen and runs under my operating system, that help page is not applicable. I had a look under regedit for the applicable entries, but couldn't find any UpperFilters nor LowerFilters entries. The DVD writer is seen by the operating system, so the mentioned fixes do not appear to be applicable. The only issue is that the DVD writer no longer appears as a boot device option within BIOS, despite being detected and connected to a SATA port as shown under BIOS SATA configuration. - - - Updated - - -

Yes, I have looked just about everywhere within BIOS to see if there is some means of adding or restoring a boot device (to the boot menu). Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way of adding nor restoring boot devices (to the boot menu) within my BIOS!!?? As mentioned in a recent reply, the DVD writer boot option may have been accidentally disabled or deleted somehow within BIOS boot settings when the drive was selected/highlighted and the "Disabled" button was somehow accidentally pressed?? The Disabled button appears at the bottom of the list of bootable devices. If this was the case, then how to restore the disabled drive? - - - Updated - - -

? This post relates to the disappearance of the DVD writer as a bootable device under Boot Settings within BIOS. The DVD writer was initially listed as a bootable device and the system did actually boot from a bootable disk within the DVD writer. However, and maybe it is coincidental, after updating Windows 10 for awhile, I noticed that the DVD writer had subsequently disappeared from the list of bootable devices with BIOS Boot Settings. Maybe the Windows updates caused the DVD writer to disappear from the list of bootable devices under BIOS Boot Settings somehow? Or, I might have somehow accidentally "Disabled" the DVD writer within BIOS Boot Settings by accidentally pressing the Disabled button at the bottom of the list of bootable devices within the Boot Settings menu? - - - Updated - - -

Yes, the system no longer boots with a bootable disk within the DVD writer. But the DVD writer is recognized by Windows 10 and I can run and play disks within the DVD writer as usual.

 

E: drive is missing and couldn’t boot the computer.

Hi,

Please answer the below questions to get a better clarity on the issue.

• 
  What is the make and model of the hard drive?
  
• 
  Did you made any changes to the computer prior to the issue?
  
• 
  Are you getting any error messages during the issue?
  
• 
  Have you used any third party software to manage Disk partition?
  
• 
  When you sad "it almost immediately forgot it was there" What exactly you were referring to?
  

I suggest you to perform the check disc process for the drive. Please follow the below steps:

1. Press Windows key + x and select Command Prompt (Admin).

2. Type the below commands.

chkdsk [drive letter]: /f /r

Example: chkdsk C: /f /r

Disclaimer: While performing chkdsk on the hard drive if any bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk tries to repair that sector if any data available on that might be lost. Please create a backup before performing
a check disk.

If the issue still persist, I suggest you to try the troubleshooting steps provided by
