Not all desktop PC's beep on boot up. A laptop is just like a
desktop. Except desktops are made to work harder with less heat witch
laptops are known for dyeing from.

I wander about duel booting a laptop too all though the process shouldn't be
all that different now you talk about the process right? The only thing is
that there's no beap which means the PC has finished testing it self and is
ready to go. I learned this from a New Egg video on You Tube on building a
computer. Let me know if you find out.

Hi Larry,
Yes, & no! I was able to put XP & Widows7 32 Bit on the same computer using
just 1 harddrive but, when we tried to do the same with XP & Widows7 64 Bit,
we had to use a second harddrive. Essentially what i have with the XP & the
Widows7 64 Bit desktop is 2 500 gigibite drives with XP Pro on 1 drive &
Widows7 Pro 64 Bit on the other drive. What had to install a third party
boot manager, I think that's what it's called, to handle the dual boot
system. We assigned XP Pro to be the default operating system so, the
computer boots into the XP Pro OS on startup or reboot. If I want Widows7
64 bit to fire up, after starting or rebooting the computer, my desktop
makes a beep sound, then I wait 20 seconds, arrow down 1 time, & press
enter. Now, this is where the fun begins, Widows7 firesup! Joy, Joy, &
more Joy!
I don't know how someone would do this with a laptop, being I've never heard
a laptop make that beep sound like a desktop computer when Windows is
starting, at least I think the beep represents that Windows start up
screen?! I know someone can sure as hell explain this beep sound a lot more
professionally that I am doing.
On the desktop computer running XP Home & Widows7 32 Bit the boot-up process
works the same as the 64 Bit computer except that, we didn't have to use a
third party boot manager. Larry, if you have any more in depth questions,
contact me off list & I'll hook you up with the geek, whoops I mean computer
technician, that configured my computers. Hope this helped. Take care.
Mike

Hi Folks,
I have an HP laptop running Windows 7 Premium, Office 2010
and Jaws 13.0638.
My question is can I install Windows XP-Pro and office XP on
the same machine and still have Jaws work with both
operating systems and applications?
My goal is to switch between operating systems.
TNX
Larry
