I can not get Memtest86 v5.1 to work with my dual-boot (W7 & Windows XP) computer.
I get into the "Boot Screen" (F12) and scroll to CDROM & press Enter, and it continues the set up into the Dual-Boot Option screen, then boots as usual from that.
The CDROM that I've burnt with Memtest86 V5.1 works well in both my W7 Laptop and my Window XP Desktop, so the CDROM has burnt properly.
I have also failed in booting via USB drive using V5.1 on this Dual Boot System & also a previous CDROM from November 2006 which contained an old version of Memtest86, not sure which version, which did used to work for this computer running Windows XP before I created a dual-boot.
I understand that on the notes from V5.0 reads, "Dual boot with Memtest version 4 for supporting older systems without UEFI. So with a single USB or CD drive both UEFI systems and BIOS systems can be supported."
Any suggestions with what I can do?
I have recently brought some new RAM and want to check it's working well.
With Thanks,
James
