Installation Question - Drive Partitioning
There was a time when I had Windows 7 and absolutely adored it.
For certain reasons I tried to go back but fail epically (yes, I'm a teenager!) and now I have two active drive partitions and it's still looking for Windows Seven's bootmgr.w/eand now I need either one of four questions answers so I can get back on my new computer. [(BTW, I am starting to hate the way I need to tweak things.)]
The questions are:
My computer is an Acer AspireOne [I will deservingly accept flaming due to my poorness and poor sense of choice].
- If I install windows seven on my usb flash drive (which I tweaked to make the computer look at it like a USBHDD,) will it wipe out the OS on my grandpa's computer?
- How can I make BIOS look-up and process boot.ini instead?
- How can I run the Windows Vista install off my FlashHD [as I call it. :P]Is it even possible?
- Would it work better or, once again, is it possible to install Vista on my flash drive and use it to run on my grandpa's computer.
Internal Hard Drive Size: 160 GB;
RAM: 1GB;
Screen Size: 10.x"; //I think 10.1...
Processor: Intel Atom 1.6Ghz;
Any help will be great even if it doesn't completely solve the problem. The last question being solved would be most helpful and convenient due to the fact that I wanted to go back.
I already tried putting the vista install .iso on the FlashHD and a message came up which has escaped my memory and then the bootmgr message came up and the first message doesn't come up now. I'm thinking maybe the .iso might have the wrong name or does it matter? [I know another question...]
