Is there anything which will let me return to windows mobile after I install android on my HTD HD2?
Basically I want a dual booting option so I can still use Windows Mobile - as I have just realised, just before install Android, that it is acutally quite useful. ???
Take out your SD card. Boot up. And place your card back in. Toodles.
Android cannot be "installed" yet. When you have android on your sdcard it will still boot windows first, then it gives you the option to boot android.
Some windows mobile roms ie. Chuckyrom, have a built in android loader, so that every time you boot you can choose which os to use.
Thanks
Thanks for the help - That must have sounded like a noob question - I am new to the whole putting android on the HD2 thing.
Thanks.
i have an htc hd2 from tmobile and i dont like windows mobile. i can run android off of my sd card buts its kinda slow. is there a way to put an android rom on the phone so that instead of booting into windows mobile and then into android from the launch android thing can i get it so it just goes into android when i turn it on?
Simple answer=No. Read the stickies for info on why.
Is it possible to upgrade it to windows 7? I am really sick of windows 6.5 and even the android setup is not working on my phone. I guess its really complicated. I wish i could just remove windows and replace it with android. please guide me with this!
Thank You

There is no way you can upgrade your WinMo to WP7, due to different requirements, firmwares, processor, etc. Android OS is actually not so difficult to install as what you think. What you need is patience and reliable tutorial to follow. There are few different versions of Android available by different users:
1. Original default beta installation, install on SD card, transfer the files in and run haret.exe twice.
2. ISO file installation, install on My Storage, transfer the files in and run haret.exe once.
3. Manual installation, can be installed on either My Storage or SD Card, required Ubuntu to transfer the files, and run through haret.exe once.
4. Froyo Bundles, fixes most problems and most stable, can be installed on either My Storage or SD Card, transfer the files in and run.
Thanks. Will surely try again!
Cheers!
Go android. Windows is going the way of webos

All the files on my windows 7 will be deleted?
When you install 8 over 7, then the files will be on the pc.
But for always, make a backup!
That's true.
The "normal" files stay in place, the windows-files get moved to an old windows folder.
if you want you can make partition and boot on windows 7 or windows 8

Your wrong, you can designated where you want your OS install to go.
Just make 2 partitions and dont install it in windows but when your pc starts. I dual boot Win7 and Win8. Just Make a C: and a D: If you install when the pc starts, it will give you a choice (at least it did for me.)
The only way I could get Windows 8 Dev running correctly was to upgrade from 7 rather than doing a clean install. This way the hodgepodge of drivers I use work, whereas if I tried using those drivers from their original installers that worked in 7, in 8 most of them failed.
Can be installed to another partition

Correct me if I'm wrong! I don't think that's possible, because Windows 8 is still in Developer stage. Guess what, you'll have to find a new Windows 7 installation disk (even a Repair disk will do).
It is possible to downgrade back to 7 , you really don't need to downgrade really though, if you created 2 partitions then just just need to delete the windows 8 partition and merge the unallocated raw partition that you deleted that held windows 8 and merge that partition back to the windows 7 partition, granted if you installed windows 8 with two partitions

Sometimes you might have to run Startup repair since Win8 changes the MBR.
You might have to fix MBR (Keep your windows disc ready )
is there an option to choose between windows 8 and wondows 7 at the welcome screen?

There is a selection menu in win 8 during boot.
After selecting win 8 it boots directly to 8, if you select win 7 it reboots and boots into win 7.
So after selecting 7 from selection menu if it reboots do not panic.
Install Windows 8 in another partition and you can choo OS to boot.

I don't think you can revert back to Windows 7. You can try contacting Microsoft but I doubt they'll help you in any way...
And to answer your first question (if you have not already found out the answer) all of the files are moved to a folder called "Windows.Old". They're still there.
If you just update, these won't be deleted, but if you format, obviously, them will be.

Just go to Create And Format Hard Disk Partitions and shrink your windows 7 partition and make a new partition for windows 8 with the unallocated space or add a new hard drive. After that make a bootable usb/dvd of windows 8 using Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool and install windows 8 on any other partition you made. There is an option in the setup to select which partition you want to install it on if you boot from the cd/usb. After that you can use easy bcd to create a boot menu but windows developer preview will automatically create one for you but I prefer easy bcd since it's faster.

1. Fresh install, preferably dual boot Windows 7
2. Before installing Windows 8, create a new partition for data, and an extra partition for Windows 8, so you can dual boot and access data from both os.
3. You won't need mobo drivers, at least I didn't.
4. Boot method
5. Download the Windows 7 USB tool from the Microsoft site, use that to create a bootable USB.
