I have Windows 8 pre-installed, and then I installed GRUB with Ubuntu. Ubuntu is not my thing, so now I want to remove it along with GRUB. From what I have learned, with UEFI, GRUB does not overwrite the windows bootloader in the EFI partition and is stored elsewhere. How would I remove GRUB and make my PC use the Windows bootloader instead? It should be noted that I created a separate /boot partition when installing Ubuntu.
Enter powershell into the windows search of the start menu. Look for a blue icon with the label "Windows PowerShell", right click on the that and select "Run as Administrator" within the context menu.
You can restore the Windows bootloader with a Windows 8/8.1 DVD. These instructions are inspired by Manindra Mehra's answer, but I expanded it with full working details (verified with a Windows 8.1 DVD).
I'm in the process of reorganizing some of the legacy libraries in our application which has unmanaged code calling into libraries of managed code. While I have the codereorganized, it produces the following loader error:
I believe 0xc0000018 error is an overlapping address range. So, I have two questions. First, what linker options may cause this error? I'm currently linking with /DYNAMICBASE:NO and /FIXED:No as this was how some of the previous libraries were set up.
Second, is there a way to turn on verbose mode for the loader so I can see what exactly it's trying to load? P9842 is a third party library so I imagine it is getting to one of my libraries after P9842 and failing on that one. Can I narrow it down? Thanks.
Below is a screenshot of one such file. This file, however, has no DOS stub at all and the DOS header data structures are all set to 0 except for e_lfanew which does point to a PE sig. However, the Windows loader says it's not a valid Win32 app at least on my version of Win7 64bit.
I do know that the loader essentially reads the data structures and from that, it does things such as allocate stack and heap memory, determine which symbols are needed and from which DLL files, as well as a few other tasks. So my assumption based off of that would be that if for example, one of these header data structures told the loader to do something that made no sense such as allocate negative space, too much space, or contained nonsense in a structure that was critical for the loader to work, it could crash it. However, this is just speculation on my part.
There are many ways in which the loader can fail to load a seemingly valid file. There are differences in rules for 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, for example. The most obvious of those is the minimum file size.
I want to know does windows 10 come with any bootloader so that I can boot from Linux using that boot loader? I have made a system rescue drive in case something goes wrong. Also, I know that if in UEFI or EFI bios Fast boot or secured boot option is ticked on then I cannot boot from Debian.
I had set windows updater to MANUAL but it just does not care. I have a metered connection, but since creator, that doesn't matter. It always downloads whatever it finds, installs it and even restarts without asking.
I now disabled all updates, but this is not the right solution either. I would like to see what updates are available, download them manually from the windows catalog, and install them correctly when it's the right moment.
I installed a Linux (Fedora) as second OS. I did like that so many times but with other distros. After installing I tried to boot in my first OS (Windows 11), but in a grub I didn't see her. I tried to re-install my Windows, when I went to BIOS, I couldn't boot in my flash drive and all UEFI ways to boot are gone. Now I'm sitting without my Windows and I can't install something else. Also I tried to update the grub, add some parameters in a config file and etc. If I try to boot in the windows (in one of my pictures you can see), then it boots me in the grub and after that I can't load my distro.
Briefly, a boot loader is the first software program that runswhen a computer starts. It is responsible for loading and transferring controlto the operating system kernel software (such as the Hurd or Linux). The kernel, in turn,initializes the rest of the operating system (e.g. GNU).
What causes the unsupported partition table in Windows loader? According to a survey, the main reason is related to a pirated Windows version. Besides, some other factors like corrupted partition drive, system protection service, and incompatible partition table are also responsible for the unsupported partition table Daz error.
If you are using a hard drive with GPT partition table, you may encounter the unsupported partition table in Windows loader. This has been proven by many users. In this case, you just need to convert GPT to MBR. How to convert GPT to MBR without formatting? MiniTool Partition Wizard can help you do that easily.
As of systemd version 251 or later default can be changed to @saved in order to remember the last picked entry on startup. This is useful for when dual booting Windows and the surprise windows auto update pushes you into Linux.
systemd-boot will search for boot menu items in esp/loader/entries/*.conf and additionally in boot/loader/entries/*.conf if using XBOOTLDR. Note that entries in esp can only use files (e.g. kernels, initramfs, images, etc.) in esp. Similarly, entries in boot can only use files in boot.
systemd-boot will automatically check at boot time for Windows Boot Manager at the location /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/Bootmgfw.efi, UEFI shell /shellx64.efi and EFI Default Loader /EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi, as well as specially prepared kernel files found in /EFI/Linux/. When detected, corresponding entries with titles auto-windows, auto-efi-shell and auto-efi-default, respectively, will be generated. These entries do not require manual loader configuration. However, it does not auto-detect other EFI applications (unlike rEFInd), so for booting the Linux kernel, manual configuration entries must be created.
The boot manager is integrated with the systemctl command, allowing you to choose what option you want to boot after a reboot. For example, suppose you have built a custom kernel and created an entry file esp/loader/entries/arch-custom.conf to boot into it, you can just launch
Unified kernel images in esp/EFI/Linux/ are automatically sourced by systemd-boot, and do not need an entry in esp/loader/entries. (Note that unified kernel images must have a .efi extension to be identified by systemd-boot.)
If you need a bootloader for BIOS systems that follows The Boot Loader Specification, then systemd-boot can be pressed into service on BIOS systems. The Clover boot loader supports booting from BIOS systems and provides a emulated UEFI environment.
This will set the BootNext UEFI variable, whereby Windows Boot Manager is loaded without BitLocker requiring the recovery key. This is a one-time change, and systemd-boot remains the default bootloader. There is no need to specify Windows as an entry if it was autodetected.
This brief tutorial will teach you how to install and configure ionCube loaders on Microsoft Windows Server. The evaluation copy of PHPKB knowledge base software has encoded source code and it requires ionCube loaders to be installed on the webserver where it is to be tested. You can get the loaders from the ionCube website.
You can download the ionCube Loader for Microsoft Windows as a Zip archive (or use other available options) and unzip it on your server. Alternatively, if you wish then you may download & configure the loader manually depending upon Operating System and PHP version.
Now, open it in your web browser (for example, -wizard.php). This web page will analyze your webserver and produce a tailored set of installation instructions as shown below and follow them carefully to configure the loader with the PHP version you have installed on your server.
Windows 7 loader by Daz is a tool used to activate Windows 7 without the product key. This Windows 7 activation tool turns your non-genuine Windows 7 into a genuine one. With the help of the Windows 7 loader free download, you can activate Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate.
A boot loader, also called a boot manager, is a small program that places the operating system (OS) of a computer into memory. When a computer is powered-up or restarted, the basic input/output system (BIOS) performs some initial tests, and then transfers control to the Master Boot Record (MBR) where the boot loader resides. Most new computers are shipped with boot loaders for some version of Microsoft Windows or the Mac OS. If a computer is to be used with Linux, a special boot loader must be installed.
For Linux, the two most common boot loaders are known as LILO (LInux LOader) and LOADLIN (LOAD LINux). An alternative boot loader, called GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader), is used with Red Hat Linux. LILO is the most popular boot loader among computer users that employ Linux as the main, or only, operating system. The primary advantage of LILO is the fact that it allows for fast boot-up. LOADLIN is preferred by some users whose computers have multiple operating systems, and who spend relatively little time in Linux. LOADLIN is sometimes used as a backup boot loader for Linux in case LILO fails. GRUB is preferred by many users of Red Hat Linux, because it is the default boot loader for that distribution.
An extension loader library is the easiest and best way to access both OpenGL and OpenGL ES extensions and modern versions of the core OpenGL or OpenGL ES APIs. They will take care of all the details of declaring and loading everything you need. One such library is glad and there are several others.
First you need to generate the source files using the glad Python script. This example generates a loader for any version of OpenGL, which is the default for both GLFW and glad, but loaders for OpenGL ES, as well as loaders for specific API versions and extension sets can be generated. The generated files are written to the output directory.
