The conventional method of installing dual systems is to install different systems in different partitions, so that not only the partitions are planned in advance, but also the backup and maintenance of the dual systems is very troublesome. .

single file system step by step production process

At present, Windows7 and WindowsXP (hereinafter referred to Win7 and XP) is our most popular two systems, but also many users choose to install dual system. Win7 native support is started by virtual disk (hereinafter referred to as VHD). WindowsXP is driven by "firadisk" and can also be started in mirror mode.

So based on the above features, for users to install "Win7 + XP" dual system, we actually can not install the physical system, as long as each file and make a VHD image files can be perfect to enjoy the dual system. In order to make everyone more clear about the operation process, we will subdivide the operation steps into the following 5 steps, you only need to follow this process.

1. Create a VHD disk based on the existing XP or Win7 system on;

2. VHD disk and loaded Win7 system installed on the disk and then get Win7 single file system;

XP single file system according to "put into the system to build high-speed memory RAMOS yourself" method to obtain an article which described;

3. copied to the D drive in the required file in the WinPE boot and format the C drive, while the boot record change to NT60 format;

4. boot file and the single file system disk copied to C;

5. run "bcdtool in the WinPE. Exe", in turn, configures the startup of Win7 and XP single file systems.

Tip: Click on the download required software, will download all the files stored in the root directory D paper. At the same time, in order to facilitate the reader's query, related articles are also included in the compression package. The first step in obtaining

Win7 single file system

due XP system does not support the creation and loading VHD, and therefore XP users must first prepare a WinPE system, and then create and load the VHD installation. The method is very simple, just copy all the files in the Win7 CD to the D drive, then copy the downloaded "geldr" file to the C drive, then open the "c:?oot.ini" to add and start (for details, see 2010). The 18th issue of "No CD-ROM? Multi-boot CD "inserted" hard disk" article). After completing the system, restart the system and enter WinPE. Then start the command prompt and enter the command "Diskpart/sd:diskpart.txt" to create and load the VHD.

Note: Win7 users directly into the system, start the "Command Prompt" program as an administrator and executes the command.

Next, continue typing in the command prompt window "d: sourcessetup.exe" activate installed (assuming that all the files have been copied to the D drive Win7), in "Do you want to install the system to which partition" In the step, the system is installed to the virtual hard disk created above. This virtual hard disk is labeled "disk1partion1".

OK, the rest of the operation of the on-screen prompts to complete the installation of Win7, so you get installed in "D: win7.vhd" of Win7 single file system.

Note: Only WinPE3.0 (ie Win7 comes with WinPE) of the "diskpart" command only supports the creation of a VHD file, so please be sure to use Win7 core of WinPE. The "diskpart.txt" in the text is a batch file that has been created. By default, the D drive (the D drive must be in NTFS format and ensure enough space to create system files) creates a 10GB "Win7.vhd" file. . You can use "Notepad" to open "diskpart.txt" according to your own situation. After

get Win7 single file system by the above operation, you now have two options:

1. If you are installing the XP system, and your memory is not great, so you can choose to keep existing XP system, then only you need to configure boot Win7 single file system can be composed of "traditional system XP + Win7 single file system" dual system in the WinPE;

2. If you install now XP or Win7 system, and your memory is relatively large, then you can choose to follow the method described in "Putting the system into memory and creating high-speed RAMOS", make an XP system running in memory, and then format the current The system is configured to start in WinPE and obtain the dual system of "Win7 single file system + XP single file system".

of course, to be safe, it is recommended to retain the original system, single file system after confirming no problem reformat the original system and reconfigure the boot. Of course, the original system can also be retained, but the final result is the generation of three systems: the original system + XP single file system + Win7 single file system.

specifically how to choose, to see their own prayed.
