You should know what your D drive's partition number is, or you'll end up dual-booting or reinstalling Windows. Less chance, IMO. In the pop-up window, go to the Boot tab and select Win7, and click Make default or similar. Then if prompted, restart as needed. So I think it will show up automatically.
And I don't know how to disable or enable it. If it's on 10, it will reset only Win I'm unsure about this one. You can wipe the partition if it gets corrupted. To do it, right-click the corrupted Windows partition and choose Format , then click Start without making any selections. Around GB or more. Before downloading, make sure you have:.
These are my opinions. I think some of these are wrong, anyway. You might need confirmation from someone with better dual booting knowledge. Was this reply helpful?
Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. In third question, I didn't mean updating, I mean dual booting. And thanks for your feedback. But can I directly install 64 bit Windows 10 in D drive in dual boot instead of installing Windows 10 32 bit first in D drive?
And how to know the partition number of my D drive or any other drive? Sorry for the delayed response, you shouldn't have edited your reply because I saw the initial state of the reply before you edited it.
And to your question "how do I find my partition numbers? Does your boot menu give you a choice of 2 Vistas with the same name?
Do you have copies of a file called bootmgr and a folder called boot on both Vista partition roots? Rest assured, I only have 3 entries in the BCD menu, and I also have only 3 primary partitions and a logical one. Third, the Vista64 partition C contains most if not all system files, see att 2.
The Vista32 partition E contains no system files at all which may have caused the problems , but the XP partition F does contain some system files, see att 3. Last edited: Nov 23, You've a full set of boot files on both.
Terry60 said:. If so, having repaired V64 semi -successfully did you do it more than once? I figure, if it sees the 32 bit system and includes it in the list, it must be capable of fixing it directly. I may be wrong I only have V64 , but I don't think it will do any harm if it's giving you the option. OK sorry I did not reply before. Actually, I had started experimenting further before I even received your reply. I have good news and some possibly bad news. The good news that I'm finally running a stable multi-boot system now with: Vista bit Vista bit XP Linux The "bad" news is: it took me hours and hours to get there, up to high frustration levels in the end I did not use EasyBCD So what did I do?
There are too many steps involved and I cannot recall all of them. Anyway, I learned more about Vista's boot process than I care to. For example, it seems to me that Vista's boot process: installs itself in about very partition it can find, at least on the primary disk cares little about hidden partitions so I finally achieved a slightly different layout than before: partition 1 contains Vista bit partition 2 contains Vista bit partition 3 contains XP Those are the 3 primary partitions, next I also have logical partitions: a small FAT32 partition a large NTFS partition a couple of Linux partitions So every one of the 3 primary partitions is now able to boot itself and view all other partitions.
The key to the solution was: GRUB. I was pointed into that direction mainly by the multi-boot article that was referred to in this forum.
