Install Linux Mint And Windows 7
Trying to remove the newest Linux Mint from my desktop. I want to put Windows 7 back onto it, but Linux won't allow the disk to run. Trying to run it from the boot. Dualbooting Windows 7 And Linux Mint 12 Dualbooting means having installed two operating systems on one hard disk and being able to boot from an.
OK guys, I need your help. My friend bought a Dell XPS 710 from some guy, but it only came with Linux Mint 11. He wants to install Windows 7 on it. He bought the upgrade version, because he already owns a Windows XP disc that we can use to install it on the computer.
Every time I try to install Windows XP using this disc, it just fails and says to check the drive for errors, etc. (Blue screen error) So fast-forward a few days- His cousin ships him another drive with Mint 10 and Windows 7 on it.
I can get Mint 10 to work, but the Windows 7 loader crashes a few seconds in, and restarts the computer. So then I figure, well, why not put a 100% windows HDD in? I put it in next to the other two, and the computer recognises it, but the boot fails every time. I am at a loss as to why no windows installation or boot will work. OK guys, I need your help.

I have experience installing Linux and Windows 7 side by side and two solutions come to mind: 1) With the hard drive that has the Windows 7 / Linux Mint OSs, have you tried inserting the Windows 7 upgrade disk and selecting the System Repair option? Sometimes the Linux Bootloader Grub can break the Windows 7 bootloader. The system repair option might restore your Windows 7 bootloader.
2) If you are intent on wiping Linux off the hard drive and installing Windows 7, have you considered installing Windows 7 from the upgrade disk? The following details how to do so. You won't be able to do it.
Windows guards its money so carfefully that you will not be able to use an upgrade disk. You'll have to buy a complete OS from Gatesfraud and install it. In my opinion, serves you right for wanting to use such crap stuff.
If you don't limke Mint, lump it. There'e nothing you can't do on Linux, which reember is not just a bare OS but comes with a vast amount of software, some of it preloaded. It serves me right to want to use the most popular OS around, instead of dealing with Mint?
Linux Mint Install Windows 7
Please answer the question next time instead of bashing Windows, I didn't ask for that. And I'm afraid you're wrong: the upgrade disc is designed for XP and above, the function of the disc is to upgrade an existing Windows edition to 7. You won't be able to do it.

Windows may come with bloatware but you can uninstall it and run your computer however you ant with no. problem and a single program. With linux you have to painstakenly do EVERYTHING by yourself because the os isn't user friendly or capable of doing ANYTHING by itself.
I'm. sick of wading through lines of coding and error messages just to make a simple ass. video game run when in 80% of all other OS's all i have to do is click a pretty. icon and BAM, it does it flawlesly and on its own. This OS is designed for masochists who love wading through bullshit just to make one thing work right, EVERYTHING is a god damned chore.
Especially for someone who was forced into using linux by another asshole douche who insists that its better. Personal experience.
Linux Mint Windows Key
I have a Gateway laptop that Linux Mint was installed on. Booting off the Windows 7 iso disc I have and installing it, I was met after the first restart with a GRUB error. Since then, it's been a wild ride of /FixMBR, /RebuildBCD, etc., but nothing seems to help. I'll try to remember as many of the details as possible. After the GRUB error, the first thing that was recommended to me by someone was to use GParted and wipe the disk. So I booted off a flashdrive I made with Tuxboot and GParted and deleted every partition and formatted the hard drive as NTFS. Reinstalling Windows again gave me winload.exe errors and BCD errors.
I can get into the Recovery command mode, and I've tried many Bootsect.exe and Bootrec.exe commands. Using diskpart, it seems that the Windows install used 8GBs or so of the sole partition, but didn't make a 100MB System Reserved partition, which I'm not sure why. Once the first phase of the Windows install completed and it had to restart itself to continue, I got an error saying to run Auto Repair, so I guess the Windows installation process not completing might be the cause. So basically, after trying the usual Bootsect and Bootrec commands, I'm stuck at a partial Windows install and continuing to get BCD, Bootmgr, Ntldr errors.
Windows didn't create the 100MB partition yet. I can reformat the drive again and start from scratch, but there's either a command I'm missing or steps that I'm doing out of order. If someone could please guide me through the process I need, I'd be forever grateful. I've found many articles on all different kinds of similar problems, but none seem to fix my particular boot problems.
Thanks in advance for any assistance. Are you using the Custom instillation setting when installing Windows 7? Also, make sure you pick the option for Formatting the hard drive for installation. This will help make sure the hard drive is formatted for the OS. Check this link out: If that does not work, you may want to test your hard drive and make sure it is not corrupted. I would suspect hard drive failure if this does not work. Yes, using the Custom option.
I've tried using the Windows installation formatting option, I've tried formatting the hard drive ahead of time with GParted.nothing seems to work. Does the bootloader have to be fixed before trying to install Windows? I've been told that since Linux was installed, or if the bootloader is messed up for some other reason, that doing a reformat or fresh install of Windows doesn't clear it. If that's the case then maybe Windows isn't completing installation because of it? When I do the 'bootrec /FixMBR' and 'bootrec /FixBoot', they complete successfully. /RebuildBCD is the only one that fails, and when I try to boot off the hard drive I get a Boot BCD error- it says An error occured while attempting to read the boot configuration data.

So maybe it's the BCD that's the main cause of the problems? I get a BCD error after trying to reinstall Windows and the /RebuildBCD command is the only one that doesn't work:(. Have you tried using the system repair utilities that should be on the installation disc? I am sure you have tried this, just want to eliminate it.
Yes, I've used the repair options. Especially Startup Repair. I seem to have made some progress. After trying the diskpart command 'clean all', I tried the Gateway recovery discs one more time and after the first restart I got the 'no boot device found' error. After a hard reset I actually got into Windows.
After the Gateway software updated itself, I tried a couple restarts and I can only get into Windows every other time. One restart I'll get the no-boot-devices-found error, the next restart I'll get into Windows. So now that I can get into Windows 50% of the time, is there any way to get it back to 100%?? I went to Disk Management and there's no recovery or system partitions. Like my functioning laptop has about 7 partitions, but this one I'm working on only has the C: and no system/recovery partitions.
That can't be normal can it? Anything that I can try now that I'm in Windows that'll get me back to a successful boot 100% of the time? None, unfortunately. I had to settle for the 50% boot-up success rate and return the laptop to the owner. She didn't want to take up anymore of my time and said she keeps the laptop asleep all the time anyways, so she won't even see the problem.
All I can really say is that the diskpart command clean all seemed to be what got me past that initial wall. After using that command and then trying the restore discs again, I was able to get into Windows, albeit only half the time, but still progress. From there, given more time, who knows what else I could've tried that might've worked. The BIOS update perhaps.
If there was one. If that wouldn't have worked, I probably would've just spent $30 on a new hard drive.
