I have a tutorial on dual booting Windows 7 and Vista, to solve the problem with flashing in 64 bit. I will also put pictures. (THIS ALSO WORKS FOR 32 BIT! JUST DOWNLOAD THE 32 BIT VERSION!)
Step UNO: Shrink your hard drive. (I recommend giving Windows 7 at least 30 GB of space, if possible) Right click Computer, and select Manage.
On the side, click disk management. Right click the disk 0 (In my case its disk 0) and click Shrink Volume. It should be the one wish the most space. Usually C:\ Drive. Shrink it as much as you want. I do recommend giving more than 7 Gigabytes, as the OS itself is 7 Gigabytes. When your done shrinking it, right click the Unallocated space, and click create new volume. From there, you assign a drive letter to it, and name it what you like. You can quick format it, since its empty anyways. (For beginners, you format it in NTFS format)
After your done, it should look something like this. (Mines named C:\ Windows 7)

Step DOS: Download Windows 7! Go here and download the 64 bit version, (Or 32 bit if your processor is 32 bit) and also write down the key given!
Step TRES: Burn it to a DVD! Get imgBurn, or you can burn it with Nero or Roxio, or any burner that burns .iso files.
Step QUATRO: Put in the DVD and restart the computer, and boot off the DVD, and it will load files. After, it will welcome you to Windows 7. Then you will have the option of doing a custom install. Click it. Then click the partition you created earlier. Then click next. and let it work its magic. It should not take more than 45 minutes.
Step CINCO: After you install, you just put in all your info and such, and your ready! Then you plug in your Windows Mobile phone, and it will automatically download WMDC. (GUYS PLEASE, DO LET WINDOWS 7 AUTOMATIC UPDATES OCCUR! THEY REALLY HELP!)
Step SEIS: Enjoy your speedy computer! And get 7 when it comes out!
What does this have to do with "flashing" and/or "64 bit computers"?
A 64 bit OS has never prevented me nor anyone else I know from flashing our phones.
Either your title is misworded or your message is not clear.
wow, very in-depth tutorial!
thanks

Actually, certain people have a problem flashing on 64 bit computers.
My title is correct. Some 64 bit computers do not flash, as my brother had that exact error, but I also have 64 bit and I had no problems.
I'm sure they'll be some people who will testify.
How does this help with anything? This is just the instructions on how to install Windows... If someone on here doesn't know how to install an OS on their computer then...
You didn't show how to solve anything.
nice

Its a slideshow background feature of Windows 7. [:
Wrong forum and if anyone has problems flashing in x64, they need to update windows mobile device center. Nothing more.
i never got problems with flashing roms on 64-Bit system! Vista makes no problems, win 7 no flash tested, yet!
the only problem i got is, that my storagecard not shown on pc! the rest is running

this is to EVERYONE that is having an issue using Paragon to partition their card to ext2/ext3. simple solution and it will NEVER fail. are you ready for this???
USE LINUX
now that that's out of the way you can go
here to download the .iso
or
here to order a live CD of the latest ubuntu distribution you will have to register an account but it's free and free to get the CD shipped to your home(AND YOU GET STICKERS!!!!)
this is the EASIEST way to partition your card. before starting backup everything on your card
1. after downloading the .iso burn it to a cd/dvd
2. reboot your computer with the disk still in the cd drive
3. boot to the CD(your computer may or may not be set up to try the cd first so f10 or f12 will usually get you the boot menu)
4. choose your language

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. choose the first option "try ubuntu without any changes to your computer"(or something like that)
6. wait for the computer to start up which might take a while as it is loading the OS from your cd drive
7. plug your phone into your computer and mount it
8. click System>Administration>Partition Editor
9. in the top right there is a little box that will let you choose what drive you want to edit(PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE CORRECT ONE)
10. after you have chosen your sd card it will appear in the main window with a horizontal graph above it showing your usage
11. right-click on the card in the main window and unmount it
12. go to the top and click Device>Create New Partition Table
13. you now have a totally blank sd card that is unformatted and not recognisable by windows or your phone
14. right-click on the unallocated space and create a new partition and format it as a primary partition and FAT 32, resize to the size you want to be FAT 32
15. right-click on the unallocated space and create a new partition and format as primary partition and make sure it is ext2/ext3 pending the ROM. this is the size of your apps partition
16. at the top click apply and it will go through the steps of partitioning your card.
if you get any errors for any reason at all you probably did something wrong, but check the details and post the error message here and i will answer it as soon as i can.
most times an error will occur because you forgot to unmount the drive from the partition editor. i know it seems stupid but you have to mount the card so the computer sees it, then unmount it so it can be edited.
screen shots will be up tomorrow when i wake up. please post here if you cannot figure this out
Just did this and I can confirm it worked flawlessly. Directions are clear and to the T.
Thanks a lot for this man, once my business starts making some money I'll float you a little present via PayPal, cuz this was just brilliant.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT USING PARAGON - USE THIS GUIDE INSTEAD
Also, Ubuntu looks cool as hell!
glad this helped someone out
after my new 8g card arrived yesterday, i tried to format it and make the partitions via the rom manager app, which failed. dunno why, but it didn't do the trick. so i stumbled across this guide and it's idiot-proof so thx alot. did the trick and everything works nicely
As soon as I connect my HD2 TMOUS (Touch X-TREME), my computer crashes.
I've hard reset the phone, erased all data on sd, removed sd, removed WMDC, reinstalled WMDC, but it keeps crashing.
What do I do?

it shouldn't have to do anything with the phone, so I guess erasing the sd or hard resets are not necessary... which version of windows do you use? is it 32 bit or 64 bit? did you install the correct version of wmdc? and did you restart your computer prior to reinstalling wmdc?
If it's a BSoD it's very likely a hardware or driver problem...probably not something related to WMDC per se.
Can you post the details of the BSoD (AKA "Stop error screen")?
You should be able to find said details in the Event Log...
So I think there is something wrong with WMDC and my comp now.
Nothing else causes the crash but WMDC related programs. connecting the phone, starting WMDC on my laptop and/or reinstalling now.
Windows 7 64bit.
Ive had HD2 for 2 weeks, flashed few ROMS, and I've never had that problem until tonight. I wonder what had changed since this morning and now.
Sorry, I don't know how to work event viewer.
I might just do a clean windows install and see what is up.
Oddest thing...

I saw your post.
I said, I don't know how to work event viewer.
And yes, I've installed the correct version os WMDC seeing as it was the same file I used to install WMDC in the first place and that worked fantastically until now.
I don't know much about computers. that's why I'm here asking for a help because this kept happening only when I was doing stuff with WMDC.
The reason why I said I might do a clean install is because that might somehow fix my issues, so I wanted to do everything I can do first so that I wouldn't waste your time looking into my issue.

There's not really much to "work".
You hit Start, and search for it by typing "Event Viewer" into search -- it should be the top result, so you should just be able to hit ENTER.
Then you go to "Windows Logs" and below that "System" and look for the entry that corresponds to your STOP error screen.
If you sort by "Level" (by clicking the column header) you should be able to sort the most important entries to the top, thereby making your search a bit easier (pretty much everything gets logged in the event log...).
Once you find the error that corresponds to your STOP error screen (match up the time indexes), click on it, and that'll give you information in the bottom half of the screen.
Copy and paste that information here.
Here's a picture:

Unfortunately (?) my event log doesn't have a STOP error screen log entry in it...because my computers never BSoDs (properly-configured computers rarely do)...
Hi, this is my first post here. I've been meaning to sign up for a while, but just had an idea for an app that I can't make and decided I had to spam it somewhere in case it inspires someone. Anyway, here it is:
If it was somehow possible to mount a disk image instead of the actual SD card, it might be possible to have a bunch of handy boot images for fixing and administering computers.
For example SystemRescueCD, Ubuntu's mini install CD and a Windows password recovery disk would fit into about 150MB, which is tiny compared to a 16GB SD card.
Would this be possible? I guess it would require root if it was, but it would turn your Android device into an administrator's swiss army knife.
Sounds like a cool idea if possible...
I was actually exploring this a little bit.
First issue is you can't mount an iso (ISO9660/CDFS) under Android, however, you could an ext3 image. I didn't get much further than this when looking into mounting images.
Second issue is, I have no idea how to tell Android to mount /this/path/to/usb/mass/sotrage rather than /sdcard.
I will be messing with this some where when I can. I think I'd tackle the second issue before the rest of the first one since I'm sure a fat32 (for Windows) or a ext2 image could be mounted and booted from in general.
I'll post any updates if I find anything out.
I've made quite a bit of progress on this idea. I have successfully mounted a usb drive image and been able to share that via USB Mass Storage. My problem now is, I can't seem to get my Captivate to be seen as a bootable USB drive on a PC that is booting.

I would be interested in knowing how you did this, if you'd care to share it
I would like to know how you did that too
I have been wondering/playing around with that same idea.
I also looked for the /system/ect/cdrom.iso file that all these posts seem to mention as well and have been unable to locate it.
There are three ideas that I would like to put out there...
1.) Replace the Virtual "Motorola Driver" CD that auto loads when "USB Mass Storage" is on and "USB debugging" is off.
If you enter the boot menu on a computer with those options. When you go under CD-ROMs to boot from, you will see "USB-CDROM0: MotorolaMB810 000" as an option. This depends on your phone of course.

2.) Put an ISO on the internal memory and have the OS auto mount it as per an app or some start up script. (Would be nice to have a widget that when on mounts an bootable ISO for us techs)
3.) Create a 2nd partition on the SD card that computers recognize as a boot drive. (Prob the most limiting of the three and not the one I'd like to see be done compared to the others.
Has anyone looked at this? Can't seem to get to work on my GS3 though...

Hey guys,ever wondered how you will get w10 on your pc w/o the necessary earlier updates or too impatient to wait for the update to be Downloaded?Here's the catch.
1)Make sure you're on an ELIGIBLE windows version (7-8.1) and not on Windows RT or enterprise.
2)Check what bit architecture your Pc is,either 32 or 64.
3)If you have checked everything,now,download the Windows 10 media creation tool from here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install based on your bit architecture
4)Open up the executable file as administrator and click Upgrade now
5)It will now show Downloading win10 and followed by creating media.If you want to speed up the process,just connect a LAN cable to your modem ��
6)It will show preparing... Just sit back and relax
7)Now it will say checking for updates and the end-user licence agreement.
8)Just click accept and choose what files you want to keep
9)It will check for updates again and the confirmation for installation pops up.Click OK.
10)Now,it shows installing windows 10 and once that's done,it will show 'Your Pc will reboot in a few moments' Don't panic if as it takes 20-35 mins.
11)Now it will reboot into Windows installation mode from copying your files to configuring settings.
12)All done!Hooray!Just set up your account and it will check for updates.Then,YOUR'E Free to use your 'new' and definitely improved ( In my opinion) Pc!
EDIT:All step-by-step pictures are listed in the comments section below for steps 4-12

To check bit architecture in both win 7&8.1,
1)go to your file manager
2)Right click on 'my computer'
3)Click on properties
4)Both windows version,(eg,Rt or home premium),pack(service pack 1.../8.1)
Bit architecture (32 or 64)
Will be displayed.

ARM is 32 bit yes, but will it work? i dont know if windows will like directly work, this is not a custom rom nor is it android its windows which is very different. i still am confused of how you will install it
The best joke ever loool
Win11 arm64 on tab2 rofl..
Thank you, you make my day wonderful.
You can use tab2 for teamviewer, vnc,.. any remote app and it will looks like your running windows on tab 2.

Hi there XDA team,
Recently, a team of developers have successfully installed windows 11 on a Lumia phone (a Nokia windows phone) https://woa-project.github.io/LumiaWOA/, they re-engineered and created drivers - this allowed for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and even audio!
This got me thinking.... could there be a way to run windows on a bigger screen (tablet)?
I remembered that I had an old Samsung Tab 2 10.1" (I wouldn't mind sacrificing it) and I knew a way to get ARM64 images from a website: https://uupdump.net/.
I looked up the requirements for windows 11 and I realized that they were WAY above what the tablet was capable of...…
I installed CPU-Z to really see how big the gap was - and it was painfully huge.
But I had installed windows 11 to a RPI 3b+ before (512 GB RAM) so I knew there was a way.
The only real problem was the storage (16 GB model), so I had to grab a spare 32 gig SDHC card (could you please confirm if I could use an SDXC card?, thanks)- this would mean that would have to boot off it (I would then utilise the extra 16GB internal).
I would follow along with the first part of this video remotely, as it did not require to be in the installer(the CMD and registry bit (load hive), but without the installer): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxJ6a-PY1KA
I completed this successfully, avoiding all restrictions (I could tamper with the registry if it caused problems later).
I also switched the primary partition to fat32, because the device can't read NTFS (maybe its just Android?).
The issue now was to boot from the SD card (I feared this as soon as I had begun the project )
I thought that my first 2 steps should be to root and unlock the bootloader, but I immediately discovered that when my 30 pin cable connected to my PC, the device did not show up in the explorer and begin to setup the device (install drivers); this was a problem because Kingoroot (root creator) required access to the device in order to boot and unlock it.
But the strange thing was that the cable was delivering power to the tablet... (data pins broken?) could this mean that 30 pin does not support data/media interaction (i am in the process of finding another cable, which I know I have) ?
So I tried the APK, but when loading it spring up with a message "Error while parsing package" and terminates (my android version is 4.2.2).
So I thought about a Mod, but that requires root.
I thought that my only option was a physical motherboard interaction..... https://www.digi.com/resources/documentation/digidocs/90001546/task/android/t_faq_boot_from_usd_card_android.htm
It does say Android image, but windows is ARM64 with a EFI partition FAT32 so it shouldn't be a problem to read off of.
But the only things that I was not certain about was that if those motherboard switches existed on this device and if this also required root or an unlocked bootloader (please do tell me if these are true or false).
The second option was multi-booting.....https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/can-i-boot-android-from-a-external-sd-card.3803666/
and
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/multiboot-recovery-boot-multiple-roms-v2-2-twrp2-8-3-0.2684052/
this option required VFAT, which I'm not sure if windows can read off of.
So I decided to turn to the forms!
Can you guys please help me with this booting issue, it would be much appreciated!
BTW this is not for regular use, this is just an experiment and a bit of fun!
Thank you for reading and responding in advance!
P.S. I'm 13 years old so please don't get angry if I'm not very wise!
Pls tell me straight up if its not possible.
I apologise if I have misused any terminology.

I completely understand you. You want what i want. the best thing to do is use a launcher like computer launcher 2 on playstore (it looks a bit like Windows 11). I don't consider this as a joke at all. Many (including me) want this. You can also use the Wins 10 simulator on playstore (Windows 10).
