  1. Need help fixing dual boot issue.


    So I needed to have a dual boot windows system and all was working fine until I needed to transfer some files from one system to my current one. It asked for the action of opening a folder to be authorised by admin, which I then did, after I completed the copying of files, I tried restarting my system into my second boot and it just gave me a permanent black screen. After that, I checked in the bios and it removed my second system (which is an entire hard drive) as a bootable medium. So any suggestions would be great. I can still access all of the information on the hard drive the hard drive has a fully installed version of windows. It is now described as a "Healthy Basic Data Partition" in the disk manager, meanwhile it used to be described as a "Healthy, Boot... Basic Data partion".

  2. Help on Dual Boot

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you would like to dual boot the computer.

    I would like to inform you that, it is possible to install Windows 10, only if Windows XP is preinstalled on the computer. If
    you are trying to install Windows XP just to run a particular software, I suggest you to run the program in compatibility mode and check if it helps.

    I suggest you to run the program in Compatibility mode, please follow the below steps:

    1) Right click on the Program

    2) Click on Properties

    3) Click on Compatibility tab

    4) Select Run this program in compatibility mode and select the operating system accordingly from the drop down list.

    Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.

    Dual Booting with Windows 8.1


    The procedure below will allow you to boot Windows separately or in dual boot configuration.
    Here's what I recommend to do:
    1. Disconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    2. Install Windows 10 with one drive connected.
    3. After step 2, reconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    4. Boot up Windows 8.1. Open disk management and take a note of the drive letter of Windows 10 OS.
      NOTE: if you boot up Windows 10, then take a note of Windows 8.1 drive letter
    5. Open Admin command prompt and type: bcdboot X:\windows where X: is the drive letter of Windows 10 (Windows 8.1 if you boot from Windows 10 in step 4)
    6. Reboot the PC. You should have a dual boot screen.

    NOTE: To break off the dual boot setting, Win+R->msconfig->boot and delete the none default entry on the list.
