Re: [PLUG] multi-boot linux and multiple windows revs same machine
I guess I have stepped into Windows hell... I was figuring that, I have a T42p that screams WinXP so it will get it. I have used Multisystem to install Win7 but may just put it on another Thinkpad I have here.

Re: [PLUG] multi-boot linux and multiple windows revs same machine
This is true, Win XP will not run on modern hardware and Win 7 is heading there quickly. If bare metal is required, you may need to just do one machine per OS.

Re: [PLUG] multi-boot linux and multiple windows revs same machine
It won't work as easily as grub menus used to work, win10 needs UEFI winXP has no idea what it is. Additionally, XP and Win 7 may refuse to boot on anything newer than Haswell CPU.

[PLUG] multi-boot linux and multiple windows revs same machine
Folks, I need to setup a machine that has Linux, Windows XP Windows 7 and Windows 10. This is one case where my beloved VM's do not work (THANK YOU MOTOROLA) So I need to be able to boot all of the above OS. I have done dual boot many times but I have not had to try to put 3 variants of windows on the same machine. Any guidance would be appreciated. I have a mix of what is called CPS or Customer Programming Software. The Motorola CPS can be a real bear to get going on a VM. Even though it sees a com port. I will not go into the horror stories of those products except to say that they can be a real pain. Once I get the OS running on bare metal then comes driver hell. But first the OS. I know that XP is expired and same for Win7, but these pieces of software are pretty OS specific. I have the ISO's for all of the OS installs. -- Chuck Hast -- KP4DJT -- I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Ph 4:13 KJV Todo lo puedo en Cristo que me fortalece.
