how do you install dual boot? I have tried on several occasions on my main rig and never been successful. Any suggestions?

When I tried on my desktop to do the dual boot I would load both OS's and on the load up (after they had both been loaded) my computer would crash (blue screen) and wouldn't work unless I reinstalled the OS I wanted and deleted the second. I had the same thing happen 2x's in a row...took all day to load 4 OS's unsuccessfuly...

Yeah, I got xp tablet edition to work and windows 7...and also mac os x (only for school of course).
For the audio driver, find the vista one pre installed and then copy it over to windows 7...(vista and 7 cros compatible for now)...For xp, get the tablet edition first, and then go on the srs website, I think srslabs.com...not sure, and download the appropriate driver...should work
And I would also install ubuntu as a virtual system or on another partition...great for quick work

Hello!
My previous computer before my tx2(same--tx2-1020us) was a Gateway CX2724 which apparently has the same sata driver hp used...unusual...so I had an xp tablet edition setup disk from gateway and it ran great on the tx2. So the steps I would take are:
1. get a copy of XP tablet edition 2005
2. get the sata driver from the gateway model above
3. Burn both of them to the same disk...the sata driver in the 108i file
4. (assuming you have a blank partition) run the setup disk :)

Hello
If all three of the hard drives are internal, then you could do a multiboot installation between the 3, and it is the same, but I would unplug all but one HDD. So when installing hd1's linux, unplug hd2 and 3 just for safety so that you don't write to the wrong drive, but if you are comfortable without doing this, it should work :)
And for a three way boot, if you don't want to go into vista's bootmanager, easyBCD or Grub work great. If you have the time and expertise go for Grub, if you want a quick stable and working multibooter, easyBCD is great.
Hope this helps

Hey, sorry for the delayed response...school :P
But, yeah, you've pretty much got it :)

Let me know if you need anything else

After burning about 50 failed cds with all the different sata drivers slipstreamed in, I tried andy's and it too didn't work. However searching around based on the device id on my machine, and almost giving up completely, I found the following driver set, which actually worked: ftp://ftp.albatron.com.tw/product/it/mb%5CDriver%5CRAID%5CAMD%5C740G%5CRAID_Disk%5C3.1.1540.81_XP3264.zip

I am really, really unhappy that HP made this so difficult, when they could have just made the correct drivers available on their support site. Once you get XP installed, getting all the other drivers installed is no easy feat either.

Good luck y'all.

I have the tx2 1020us. Just an update. I installed the 32bit Windows 7 Ultimate on a seperate partition while keeping Visa x64 on the other and the pen and Digitizer work perfect. Everything works fine except for the Quicklaunch buttons. But I am pretty sure they are coming in the next few updates. My buddy's HP laptop has quicklaunch buttons that didn't work, and they just updated it. Now his are working. I did have to unpack a few drivers and let Device Manger search in that file to update a few drivers. Just a little info.

I purchased tx2-1124AU notebook with Vista Home Premium Edition. I am planning to install Microsoft Windows Vista Business (32-bit). I searced WinXp driver for it but didn't find anyone.

I have two queries:

1) Can anyone tell me, the possible problem(s) of installing Vista Business (32-bit) on tx2?

2) I'll be gratefull, if anyone could share XP drivers of this machine?
