System backup and Recovery: Dual system XP and Vista

A. Keep the C-disk Vista and one-click Restore function, install XP on the other disk

1. Download two software on the Internet:

1). http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/11208.html ">microsoft.net 2.0 framework or above
　　
Pledge. VistaBootPRO3.1 or above (preferably version 3.2)

2. Install XP system with XP installation disk to any hard disk partition with no data in d/e/f/g.

3. After the completion will find the system directly into the XP system, at this time install the Windows.NET 2.0 Framework, and then install VistaBootPRO3.2 (3.2 and 3.1 interface have different place)

4. Run as Administrator (mouse over Vistabootpro icon, right-click, select), enter password. (Of course, if your computer can't run as an administrator for some reason, it's OK to double-click and open it).  Open Vistabootpro This software, prompt backup (English), point OK. Go to BCD Registry backup/restore Center. This interface is important because what we're going to do later will overwrite the menu at the start of the system, and you should save the settings here and then restore the dual system later. * * The above BCD backup path is the one where you can choose to save the BCD data. Click Right to browse, select a non-system hard drive partition to save the file. The file name can be written casually. * * remember this position. Since the reload system will later use the following BCD restore path (recovery paths) point open, and then find the file saved above, double-click to open to complete the BCD data recovery. Automatically completes the dual System selection menu at startup.

5. Note that the file Tools Diagonstics Help top Line menu also has a line of rectangular menus, which we have just been doing in the fourth project "Backup/restore Center". The first is viewsettings, click Viewsettings, and you will see all operating system startup information. See how many inside. If only XP, then point to the second "Manage OS Entries", the bottom "Add new OS entry" hook. Os name writes Vista, type:vista, OS Drive Select the partition that Vista actually installs. After completing the point at the bottom of the Apply Updates. May prompt to have the mistake, does not have the tube, all determines exactly. The pop-up record window is all closed. Then you can also choose to modify the name of the operating system under this menu, such as changing the "Early Windows operating system" to XP (note: This does not seem to support Chinese). Select Set as default to indicate the operating system that was selected by default at startup. The current boot timeout allows you to adjust the wait time before the operating system automatically enters. The following two can also be modified in the Vista operating system. Don't forget to click ' Apply Update ' in the end.

6 penultimate menu: Systembootloader is the most critical step. Choose Windows Vista bootloader and system partition. Point the bottom corner install bootloader. Reboot should be able to see the dual System selection menu.

(If still not, you can add to the operation of another forum mentioned in a step: "Into the C packing directory, open the view of the folder Options, will hide the protected operating system files to remove the check, and choose to display hidden files and folders.) At this point you can see NTLDR this file, open NTLDR the file's properties, and remove its read-only attribute. ")

7. Back to XP, reopen the Vistabootpro, and **...** the middle section mentioned in step 4. Re-install the dual system in the future directly with the BCD restore path is OK.

8. Install the driver. Lenovo, please go to the official website to download; Click to enter the driver download page to download all XP drivers after entering the host number. Then manually install it directly. The method is in each folder (Lenovo download is compressed file, to extract first to each folder) in double click Setup.exe if prompted to reboot, select No, and so on all installed and then restart.

9 have some Vista installed when the software such as Easycapture, Powergo, etc. in the random gift of the software package CD. Install it.
