I use Grub2 to boot each one and hide system partitiojs of the others isolating windows systems. I also have a Linux 32 bits on that disk. Or am i wrong? Actually i am only doing a chain load to the partition prior to that Grub2 chain load it runs commands to unhide the specific partition and to hide the other Windows partitions. I am able to create if on any 32 bits old PC i and be sure it will also boot on U EFI 64 bits,… Grub2 is great for that… it can install the 64 bits boot on a 32 bots only PC.
People need to keep in mind that not all bios firmware are able to deal with a GPT drive. The machines will freeze at the F2 Enter Setup F10 Boot menu screen and the only thing that can be done at that point is to turn the power off and turn it back on. Once I converted the drive to MBR which kills about 2 Tb of drive space, both systems will start and boot into the OS as normal with the drive connected.
This also works for Windows 10 x64 Home Single Language. Imma try it with a slave instead of flash drive to see if it works that way as well. Thanks a lot!!!! I guess bootable usb can be somehow coopied to Clover, in order use Clover boot selection menu to choose between macOS and Win. What do you thing? Now, what is the best way to back up the boot partition? You can use any Windows 10 installation media to boot into WinPE environment and run commands.
I have completed this successfully on a LSI raid0 with win7 x Thanks a lot. I successfully boot to windows on GPT disk with this method.
But I want to know how to use grub2 to boot windows directly from gpt disk, without the need to plug usb drive everytime. I have a pure gpt disk that can also boot using bootloader which is in mbr sector! Thank you, WindowsOSHub. I then used the Win 10 USB to boot my new motherboard. I then transferred the win boot files to another blank USB drive.
Windows then reactivated on line, and all updates went smoothly. But that is acceptable for my desktop. The only downfall of this technic is that I have to redo this USB drive every time I restore image on my computer.
But it works! I tried, but my machine restarted after the hybernation command. I think I could manage to manually turned it off removing power before restarting occured , and after that it restored normally when powered on. And your w7 is probably MBR. So you should build a pendrive to boot from it and which will continue booting from w7 in 4Tb drive as instructed here. Thanks so much for this. I have followed the above and all works perfect.
Question for you, Is there a reason why we cannot do the above instructions on an fat32 partition of the hard drive instead of a thumb drive? Then this methode works well.
Then what is the point in partitioning the Drive? This problem is not faced in MBR. This is the main drawback of GPT partition. GPT partition does not allow the user to instal Windows 10 64 bit on an already existing Disk partition. The user must remove all partitions and Windows 10 is taking up the task of partitioning the Drive while installing the OS, in which case, the Data contained in the other partitions are lost.
If there is any solution for this? Maybe a third party program let you access the rest of the HD in a non standard way. Probably risky to use that scheme for important data. Step 2. This tool will detect if your computer needs to install Windows AIK or not automatically. If needed, please install it first. Step 4. It is not only compatible with all Windows systems, but the operation is also very simple. If you haven't tried it yet, please download the Demo version for a free trial!
Still Need Help? Have your problem been solved? Thus, finding a way of changing partition style without data loss is vital. You may need to boot up existing Windows normally to complete converting.
Step 1. Step 3. Step 4. This article introduces two methods to solve how to install windows 7 on GPT partition style. Although Diskpart is a built-in program, it will erase the data on the hard disk. Backup files before formatting or cleaning, if necessary.
