Hi all,
My laptop is installed with Vista Premium from Dell and I wanted to keep it but also run Windows 7 on the same system.
I took the option to have a removal USB drive with Windows 7, instead of creating a new partition and have both OS’s on the same HDD.
The way I have intalled Windows 7 was by removing the local HDD with Vista installed and replacing it with a new HHD where I installed Windows 7.
I the swapped the HHD and tried to boot from the USB drive with Windows 7. The Boot Manager identifies the two OS’s but when I boot from USB, after the first few bootup stages the I get a blue screen. And this happens with either of the OS’s booting from USB.
Due to changes on the MBR, both OS’s had to be repaired and maybe this is an important clue related to the booting process. Maybe a ID conflict?
Any comments are welcome to circunvent this problem.
Many thanks
