The second step starts single file system configuration
made to select "+ XP Win7 single file system file system, a single" dual system, for example, first to make a good "winxp.img" D placed on the tray, and then Start WinPE system (can be directly accessed using Win7 CD), press "Shift+F10" to start the command prompt when the installation language interface appears, and then input according to the description of "Configure Single File System Startup Command" document provided in the compression package. Command, format the C drive as prompted, and then copy the necessary files to the C drive.
After completion of the operation, using the Start "bcdtool" configuration and XP Win7 single file system. Boot configuration
Win7 single file system is also completed at the command prompt environment. Enter "D:? Cdtool" start "bcdtool" program, then click "Start Configuration → Open", select Open "C:?? Oot cd" and configure the Win7 VHD boot, follow these steps:
Click the "Edit → New Vista Startup Project" button in the "bcdtool" menu bar, select the new project and double-click the "device" in the right pane to change it to "partition=P:" (that is, load Win7.vhd virtual The drive letter of the disk, if you enter the command in the "Configure Single File System Startup Command" document downloaded, the VHD is automatically loaded after the P drive, otherwise please modify it according to the actual situation), "description" (start menu display Change the name to "Windows7VHD" and "Osdevice" to "partition=P:".
let's configure the boot XP single file system.
continue to click the "Edit → New real-mode startup items", the "description" changed to "BootXP", other settings default values. It should be noted that at this time, it is necessary to ensure that the C drive has "grldr.mbr", "menu.lst", "geldr" files, otherwise the XP single file system cannot be started.
Tip: In fact, whether XP or Win7, as long as we have "bootmgr" and "bcd" profile by "bcdtool" you can easily configure them to start, but do not control these systems installed in which Partition.
now reboot the system, we can choose multi-boot menu "Windows7VHD" enter Win7 single file system, choose "BootXP" to enter the XP! At this point you're done!
simple Fun
due to enter the dual system Win7 single file system will automatically hide after the original C drive, so if you want to access the data among the original C drive, run the disk management tool and assign it a drive letter (startup disk management After that, you can see that the system has added a new hard disk, which is the virtual hard disk we created.
is assigned a drive letter "N:" for example, now we can see the disc opens N-bis Now the entire system is only 6 plus a BOOT files directory (FIG. 4). Moreover, after the system has a problem, just copy the two files "winxp.img" and "Win7.vhd" after the installation, and then complete the backup operation. If you want to "reload", enter any system and use the backup file. Replace the file with the same name. The current dual system management and maintenance is much more convenient.
Tip: the need for special attention, due to all the files among Win7 single file system packaged in a VHD file (XP running single file system is loaded in memory), the use of these systems, to Be careful not to save the downloaded data and documents on the current system disk, or move the data and files to other partitions before restarting, otherwise data and files will be lost.
Comments: Troublesome traditional dual system, first installed in different partitions, and then have to install to be successful in a certain order, and the usual backup and restore operations are very troublesome, and the use of methods described herein, There is no such problem at all - we can "install" multiple systems in the same partition, which not only makes effective use of the hard disk space, but also facilitates the usual maintenance operations - copy and paste. Most importantly, you can move any system to any partition as needed, and then modify the startup configuration to complete. Don't reload, don't re-partition! If you are often entangled with system problems or partition issues, try the methods described in this article.
