Cannot upgrade Artemis with Vista - VMWare - BartPe XP, etc... need help!!

Hey guys, i'm stuck with an old GSM version of my Artemis and cannot upgrade it...
I've tryed to upgrade using VMWare (running a XP SP3 virtual machine), but when the phone goes to Bootloader mode, the VMWare loose the USB connection... When i switch to Windows Vista, there isn't any device that correspond to my Mobile Phone... Since Vista cannot "see" the phone anymore, the VMware doesn`t "see" it too...
I`ve tryed to run a Bart_pe winxp enveiroment, but I cannot install active_sync on it...
Anyone has come to this problem?? Vista OS stop "seeing" the phone at bootloader mode??
Win 7 (Full "Vista") has the same Problem. When the flashing should start, it loses the connection and fails.
You need a full WinXP on a real PC to do a this.

Dual booting with Windows 8 and XP..Is it possible?

I am thinking about installing Windows 8 developer preview alongside Windows XP whether this will cause any problems?
Whether I should format Windows XP and then install Windows 8?

Before you blab,...
Dualbooting with Windows XP is special. Windows XP is so deprecated that the Win8 bootloader does not show it.
It is possible, as my computer's primary OS is WinXP; Win8 is my secondary and Ubuntu 11.04 is my tertiary OS. Only Win8 shows up in the Win8 bootloader; I had to EasyBCD and write the Win7 bootloader to my MBR and add the other two manually.
Yes, I dual-booted WinXP with Win 8... But how to dual boot Win 8 with ubuntu ?

Same way as usual. Do a straight partition and install from LiveCD/USB.
If you want to triple boot, I don't think you'll have much success with a Wubi-based install because it would only write to the bootloader of the Windows install that it was installed to AFAIK. I transitioned my Wubi install to a full partition once I installed Win8. It didn't stop it from not appearing on the Win8 bootloader.
I have Windows 8 and Ubuntu 11.10 in separated partitions. I had Win 8 installed first, then I installed ubuntu, but GRUB doesn't add Win to boot menu, when I run "sudo update-grub" it doesn't detect Windows 8

[HELP] Installing Windows 8 over Windows XP

I have a desktop computer about 4 year old, running Windows XP. It has hardware robust enough to run Windows 8. So, I created a bootable usb drive using Windows 7 usb tool in my laptop running Windows 7 HP x64. The usb drive works fine on my laptop, both while booting from it as well as using it while already booted on Win 7 to install Windows 8. But when I insert it to my desktop, and run setup.exe, it shows that setup.exe is not a valid win32 application. And if I boot from it, just shows the Windows 8 logo and does nothing, even if I leave it for a couple of hours, I have purchased Windows 8 for both my pcs but I am not able to install it on my desktop. Help.

Windows XP 32-bit will likely be unable to start the 64-bit setup.exe file, you'll have to boot the installer from the USB stick or from a DVD.
or use a 32-bit ISO and install a 32-bit version of Windows 8.
As nbates said you can't run apps with different architecture. Make sure you have the right settings set in the BIOS (make the USB device bootable) and install again. I think that there was an app called Wintousb or something like that. That's the best app for making a bootable usb.
EDIT:
WinToFlash, that's how the app is called

Since Windows XP both a 32Bit and a 64Bit version exist. OP therefore should clearly specify which machine have what OS version running...

Another worthwile freeware tool is WiNToBootic - the ultimate Windows Boot Disk Maker

yeah since XP 64-bit was mostly unpopular i'm assuming they're using 32-bit XP.

[Q]Windows 8 and 8.1 dual boot issue?

i have a problem
i had windows 8.1 64-bit in my pc then after that i installed windows 8 32-bit in different partition after that when i reboot my pc i didn't get the dual boot option to choose between windows 8 and 8.1..my system automatically loads windows 8....
Sounds like you didn't do the installation safely with regard to the old OS. The 64-bit one may have been using a 64-bit bootloader? In any case, you may have clobbered the boot partition of the old installation. You can try using bcdedit to add a boot entry for the old OS - it might still work - but you may need top use 64-bit Win8.1 recovery media instead (and doing so you risk clobbering the boot partition for the 32-bit install).
... Do I dare ask why somebody would *do* this? I mean, I could understand if you were installing Win7 or something, and even vaguely understand why you'd install 32-bit instead of 64-bit (though these days I pretty much exclusively use virtual machines for 32-bit systems) but why in the world install 32-bit Win8 on a 64-bit Win8.1 machine??
