I think he meant when the retail version of Windows 7 comes out on October 22nd...The windows XP virtualization mode will be available for download off of the Microsoft website then...
All this assuming that you are running the RC1...Im running the same and ive had problems as well sooo im hoping that windows 7 XP mode fixes that...

i'm using full version of windows 7 but whatever...

I found a windows vista installer and there was no error's,but it don't connect to the device when it's in bootloader mode.It's connects to the pc,but the installers shows that there is connection problem..

but even with the full version of window7 ultimate one still have to download and install windows XP virtualization mode
to get xp mode to work

where to get that virtualization mode?

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

thx.it worked.

Has anyone had a problem when using this method of remounting their device when the RUU begins the update process? Its working for me but barely....its really hit or miss...anyone have this down to a science? Thanks in advance!

Triple booting win8, win7 and ubuntu

Hi guys I have just downloaded win 8 from Microsoft but I want to triple boot my laptop is that please help.
Extra info : ram 4gb
Hard disk 320gb

You can dual boot win8 and win7 its a breeze, i just did follow this simple steps posted on microsoft-news.com

just make three partition on your laptop...one for each.. or you can install Ubuntu through wubi on windows 7 and windows 8 on a separate partition.. am currently using like this...

Easiest way is to install ubuntu inside windows 7 and use VMware to instal Windows 8 on virtual machine.

I did that today. Could go without windows eight tho.

thnx everyone i run win8 in VMware..

Its actually pretty simple.Just dual boot windows 7 and 8.Im sure u knw how o do this.Then install Ubuntu alongside 7 through the boot setup!

If you had a newer CPU, I'd suggest using Client Hyper-V (from Win8) to run the other OSes virtually, but the Core 2 family lacks second-level address translation, which means Hyper-V messes up desktop performance so MS made SLAT mandatory on client (non-server) builds if you want Hyper-V.

I had my windows 7 installed , and then i installed ubuntu. Now , lets say you installed windows 7 on a LocalDrive (c):, then in this drive there will be some files.
wubildr
wubildr.cfg
wubuildr.mbr
These are the files that gets your ubuntu booted.
So just install windows 8 normmally on some other drive. (note: dont keep any operating system in same drive. Make a 100gb for windows 7 , 50gb for ubuntu(if you not compiling any big projects) and 100 gb for Windows 8 , and the rest 70 gb a 4th hard drive )
You can store songs and stuff in any drive you want.
NOTE:
When you boot up your computer,this is what happens,
1) Bios awakes all the hardware("Goodmorning mouse,keyboard harddisk, any other devices connected too (except your internet router) )
2)Bios finds a operating system and boots up its "SELECT OPERATING SYSTEM"(called bootmanager).(in my pc when i use windows 8 and shut it down, the next time i start pc i get windows 8's boot menu. but if i use windows 7 and shut it down , and next time when i turn on my pc i get windows 7's bootmenu, You wont get ubuntu boot menu on startup)
3)Go to Windows 8 , open my computer . Now you will see that the drive on which you installed Windows 8 is now C drive..
4) Find out on which drive you had your windows 7, open it, go to program files. and use which ever software you had without reinstalling it, Like lets say if i want photoshop, then i will go to windows 7 drive, open program files, then Adobe, then photoshop cs5 and here there will be photoshop.exe, i will create shortcut on desktop (use this method only when the software publisher have not published the software for windows 8, eg TeamViewer , they released their software for windows 8 , so i wont link it to desktop from my windows 7 files.. I will download a new one.. )
Thats it.. have fun buddy..
Check this out.
Google EasyBCD. And then download that software. so if you ever mess up , then you can make a new entry in your bootmanager and name it what you want. lets say you mess up with ubuntu, and in boot menu ubuntu option doesnt come, then you go to windows 7/8 and then open up EasyBCD , make a new entry , name it Ubuntu(or what ever you want) and then point it out to "wubildr.mbr" (remeber , make backup of the three files i told above..) Also you can change the names of existing OS. Like Windows 7 can be changed into Hello, This is Windows 7 . Then this will appear in your boot screen..
Hope i helped. I know you booted windows 8 in VM, but VMs are slow... I just gave you extra info so u know what to do if you mess up on install new OS again

It is easy install Ubuntu alongside win7 and install windows 8 to a different partision

you can install them separately, each on a partition
it is very normal and easy
i did it, i installed windows 7 then 8 then ubuntu
just make sure to install ubuntu after all because of the grub boot loader

Win 8, then Hyper-V as many different OSs as you have space for, its quick, painless, you don't need to worry about Linux over zealous bootloaders screwing everything up, unless you are running several at the same time even a moderate spec'd PC with the correct hardware requirements will run them both without much of an issue.
one thing I miss from 7 is the ability to run XP programs right of my desktop, I have some USB hardware that only supports 32bit XP, on 64 bit 7 I VM'd with XP mode, had the program icon that used said hardware right on my 7 desktop, double clicked, and for all intensive purposes it ran and worked the hardware as if it was on that very os
pretty impressed I have to say, alas it doesn't work like that on 8 which is a shame

Can you run Windows 8 on VM on a w7 system?

Has anyone tried to run the Win 8 developer preview on a VM under Windows 7? If so, how does it run?

works fine on virtualbox
runs fairly smooth but im not allocating a lot of resources to it so it would run better with more power

I gave it one core of an i7 and 1GB ram in virtualbox and it runs pretty smooth.

Thanks guys.
As soon as I can figure out how to remove win 8 dual boot from my laptop I am going to try the VM. Right now it crashes when it cannot find the external drive on boot. Anyone know which files I have to restore so that the system does not come up with the Win startup screens?

I couldn't get it to work with VMware 7, so I just used VirtualBox and it worked.

Doesn't work with vmware 7, but is fine with vmware 8.

It works with virtual box I haven't tried with vmware.

I cant get it working on Virtualbox, what am I doing wrong?

Make sure your computer's virtualization is turned on. I don't remember what the exact name was, but go to your bios and check for virtualization and make sure it says "enabled".

Follow this guide:
http://www.sysprobs.com/guide-install-windows-8-virtualbox
I was getting errors until I followed that guide. It worked perfectly after that.

w8 only works. with vmware version 8. If you got the driver boot error try this:
1. create new vm (disable automatic start)
2. deactivate floppy drive
3. start vm

thx for the info I was wondering if it works on virtualbox I guess I something to do today

Hmm, usually the Windows 7 drivers work fine for me. Try those?

Yes. Naturally. Downloaded the drivers from HTC and tried to run them. First as user then as Admin then on compatibility mode both letting the OS decide on best mode and then manually choosing both windows 7/Vista and XP on SP2-3
Non seems to work.
It's the full version (MSDN version) and it's x64 version
Thanks

If you're trying to run Windows 8 64-bit, you have to have hardware virtualization support.
See http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#intro-64bitguests and http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch10.html#hwvirt.

No he means that your cpu needs virtualization support in order to run it in a VM. What CPU do you have?

If you follow and read the links I posted above, you'll see that if you're running the 64-bit version of Windows 8 (as a guest) it needs hardware virtualization (i.e., your CPU needs to support either VT-x [Intel chips] or AMD-V [AMD chips]). You'll need to turn it on in the BIOS.
I believe the other option is to run the 32-bit version of Windows 8 in your VM, where it will not require that hardware virtualization (if my memory serves).
