How do I prevent the Lion boot partition from being reformatted when using boot camp?

Under Windows 7, Computer Mgt, I shrink the C drive to create another drive.  When I right click on the unused drive to format it, 200MB Lion boot is formatted and assigned a drive letter F.  But I did not tell Windows 7 Computer Management to do that.  I clicked on the unused 170GB space to create it as F, I did not click on the 200MB Lion boot partition at the front of the list.
Now I have to take the computer back to the Apple store to reinstall Lion for me.
I tried this twice and it happened twice.  So now I need to go back to the Apple store a second time for help on the same problem.
Would the 200MB Lion boot disk at the front be safe from reformatting if I first made it drive letter F, and then made the new drive letter H at the right side of the drive list in Computer Management?  Also, there is an unlettered drive between the Lion drive E and the Windows 7 drive C.  Should I make that G prior to formatting drive H?
By the way, I did this on another MacBook pro that was using Snow Leopard, following the same procedure, and had no problems.  So could a different version of Boot Camp be the issue?

I just found an older question similar to this one that you also replied to. It was from 2012 and never solved. The only things I am using in my set up is a male quarter inch cable from my guitar to my interface, a USB cable from my interface to my computer, and headphones from my interface to my ears of course. Just like in the other question I found I have everything in the Audio MIDI Setup of the computer set to use the interface as input and output and I also have everything in garage band setup to use the interface as audio input and output. Any new track is recording the metronome and any old track that is being played in the headphones. No external speakers are being used for monitoring and no microphones are being used.

  • How can I prevent the S5's screen from coming on when charging completes?

    I got my S5 today and it seems to have a "feature" that will be very damaging to the OLED display.  When it's done charging, the screen comes on and stays on.  I've been going through all the settings I can find and don't see anything that will prevent this.  Since static images burn into OLED screens, this is the last thing I want.  It's done the same thing several times.  My old phone (Galaxy Nexus) didn't do this.  When the Nexus finished charging, it did so with no fanfare.  The screen stayed off.
    When the S5 is locked and the screen is off, there's no reason for the screen to come on for anything short of a phone call.  It certainly shouldn't come on and stay on just because the battery finished charging.  And, any time the display does come on without user input, it should turn off again automatically if it's idle for the length of the screen timeout.
    I've got "Smart stay" turned off and "Screen timeout" set to 1 minute but, after it self-activates, it stays on indefinitely.  I've let it go for 20 minutes and the screen is still on.  How can I fix this?  If I can't get this behavior to stop, it's going back to the store.  I'm not paying $600 plus tax to have my lock screen burned onto my phone because I charge it at night.

    Okay I've tried safe mode.  Let it run down to 98%, plugged it in, locked the screen, and waited.  A few minutes later, the screen came on showing the 100% icon at the top right, full battery icon just to the left of the time, 100% text to the left of that.
    I'm not going to do a hard reset until I have confirmation that this is not normal behavior for the phone because that's going to take hours of my time and gigabytes of data transfer to get all of my media and apps back on the phone and configured.
    After all my griping, I do have to give credit where it's due.  This phone is much more efficient than my Galaxy Nexus.  I left the S5 running in WiFi hotspot mode while on battery last night.  It still had over 50% left on the battery.  The Galaxy Nexus would be stone dead after about 4 hours.  I can live with that if I have to but I'd really rather be able to leave it on the charger at night.

  • Does anyone know of a VI or how to go about writing one that will prevent the computers time/date from being disabled while an application is running.

    Does anyone know of a VI or how to go about writing one that will prevent the computers clock/time from being disabled while an application is running. The time and date can normally be reset while an application is running by clicking on the time/date in the lower right-hand corner of the computer screen. I have an application that runs over several days and it is critical that the time and date of the computer not be changed. Is there an easy way to lock this out from the user? Note that I am what I consider an advanced beginner in LV.
    Thank you,
    Chuck
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That is not something you can do from LabVIEW, as it is an operating system operation, and it will depend on the operating system that you're using. On Windows you can use a group policy to control this. Please Google on "prevent time and date change in windows".
    Also, please try to refrain from stuffing your entire message in the subject block. Keep the subject short, but descriptive enough so it can be understood what you are basically asking. Thanks.

  • How do I prevent browsing and search data from being forwarded to Google by Mozilla, while still using Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser?

    I do enjoy using Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser, BUT, I don't enjoy the details of my life, to include my Internet activity, to be archived by Google, or anyone else, via Mozilla's/Firefox's sharing of my Internet browsing and/or search engine activity with any aspect or facet of the Google organization. With all of this said, my question is, "How do I prevent browsing and search data from being forwarded to Google by Mozilla, while still using Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser?"

    Firefox's default behavior includes no automatic interaction with Google.
    We do use Google as default search engine and to report web forgery in the 'help' menu, but no data are sent to Google without your knowledge, and you can change your preferred search engine at will.
    However many websites themselves make use of Google Ads which do cause interaction with Google when you load the webpages. This is visible in status bar and happens in any browser. The [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript NoScript] add-on for Firefox can largely save you from this problem.
    If you see things happening otherwise, please reply with details on what you see.

  • In windows live photo gallery it says an error is preventing the photo or video from being displayed

    in windows live photo gallery it keeps saying an error is preventing the photo or video from being displayed

    Hi Frank.
    Thanks for the response.
    Agreed, the pertinent question is why can't my colleague edit the JPG exported by Aperture. It's probably also worth pointing out, the same problem occurs with JPGs exported from iPhoto.
    The Windows software usually plays nicely with JPGs by all acounts, just not the ones I send - which I do via eMail or my public space on Mobile Me incidently.
    So, another key question is: all settings being equal (color profile, quality, etc.) are the JPGs as produced by iPhoto and Aperture indistinguishable from those produced by other apps on other platforms - i.e. does the use of JPG enforce a common standard?
    If that is the case, I suspect ours might be a permissions issue.
    According to the Microsoft support page on editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery, the inability to edit a picture is commonly caused by unsupported file type, or read-only attribute set on the file.
    Unfortunately, he and I are not in the same place, and he's not particularly au-fait with this type of problem solving. Hence, before involving him, I'd like to know:
    1. it's possible (i.e. someone else does it), and,
    2. what's involved (at my end and/or his).
    Thanks again,

  • How does one prevent a folder's contents from being read while running in target disk mode?

    I want to prevent a folder's contents from being seen or used by a second computer that is connected to my iMac when it is running in the firewire
    target disk mode. Whenever I put my iMac into the Target Disk Mode all of its disk contents, for all users on its disk, can be seen and used by the second computer without needing any passwords.  Does anyone know of a simple way, short of using FileVault, for protecting folder contents when viewed while running in the target disk mode? I would like to protect the entire contents of my "Documents" folder from being viewed by anyone that connects to my iMac via the firewire target disk mode.

    Many users make a password protected Disk Image using Disk Utility to keep selected files protected. I have one such image myself that I keep on my Desktop containing passwords and such. I'm not sure if you could put the entire contents of your Documents folder into a secure disk image but you could certainly make one and put your most sensitive items in it within your Documents folder.
    I agree with you for not wanting to use FileVault. I've never used it myself and am very leery of it due to things I've read from other users.

  • How can I prevent my Camera Archive import from being interrupted by timecode breaks?

    I'm trying to create Camera Archives from my old mini-dv tapes. I have a Sony Handycam DCR-TRV22 connected via FireWire. When I start the Camera Archive import process, everything is fine for a while but then the process stops with a message about a break in the timecode preventing the archiving from completing.
    Solutions to this problem I've seen online relied on changing import preferences in Final Cut 7. Unfortunately, I only have Final Cut Pro X and I'm not sure how to control this setting.
    I don't really care about timecodes, I just want to dump the entire tape to disk so I have a backup of the tape but the timecode break is interrupting the process and making me get involved a lot more often during the import process.
    Does anyone know how to force Final Cut Pro X to push through timecode breaks in a Camera Archive import?

    To clarify, this problem is not simply making me get involved more, but is preventing the Camera Archive operation from completing.

  • How do I tell the installed Boot Camp version (Windows 7, 32-bit)?

    I installed Windows 7 (32-bit) in a new Boot Camp partition. I see that there are several Boot Camp version updates for 32-bit Win 7 (3.2 from 3.1, etc.). Previously I had Windows XP, and in the system tray at lower right of the screen there was an icon for information about Boot Camp. My Win 7 installation has no such icon. How do I tell which Boot Camp version I am running?
    Likewise, Win XP had an Apple utility for setting the startup disk. The only Apple utility I find in Win 7 is Apple Software Update (which shows no updates needed).
    What am I missing?

    Answered my own question! When I installed Win 7, I failed to install the Boot Camp drivers on the OS X install disk. Did so, and now the Boot Camp icon shows up.

  • How can I prevent the settings on iMessage from changing each time I sync the devices with iTunes on our iMac?

    Each time I sync an apple device (iPad, iPad mini, iPhone) with iTunes on our iMac the settings on iMessage and phone settings change. We use the same Apple ID and have different e-mail addresses and phone numbers; however, each time a device is sync'd on iTunes on our iMac, the iMessage settings and phone settings are changed so that we all each get each other's text messages and phone calls. After the device is sync'd/charged, I have to go into each device (all of them somehow update when only one is sync'ing) and re-set the settings to what we want. How can I prevent settings from being changed each time?

    Okay I've tried safe mode.  Let it run down to 98%, plugged it in, locked the screen, and waited.  A few minutes later, the screen came on showing the 100% icon at the top right, full battery icon just to the left of the time, 100% text to the left of that.

  • How can I prevent the MediaTracker waitForID method from blocking?

    Hi everyone:
    I am writing an application that deals with various image file formats with the help of the JIMI package (available at http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/). Everything works fine except for the Targa format. When I generate an Image object as follows (url is a valid URL object):
    Image image = Jimi.getImage(url);
    ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(image);the program execution blocks at the second line above. I searched the ImageIcon source code for some clues, which led me to the following ImageIcon method (tracker is a MediaTracker object, a static property of ImageIcon):
    (01) protected void loadImage(Image image) {
    (02)   synchronized(tracker) {
    (03)     tracker.addImage(image, 0);
    (04)     try {
    (05)       tracker.waitForID(0, 0);
    (06)     } catch (InterruptedException e) {
    (07)       System.out.println("INTERRUPTED while loading Image");
    (08)     }
    (09)     loadStatus = tracker.statusID(0, false);
    (10)     tracker.removeImage(image, 0);
    (11)
    (12)     width = image.getWidth(imageObserver);
    (13)     height = image.getHeight(imageObserver);
    (14)   }
    (15) }The program blocks at line (05) above. I peeked into the MediaTracker class source code, which brought me to determine that the image loading process never finishes. The symptoms are as follows:
    (1) When I perform a c.checkImage(image, null) where c is some Component, I always get a result of 7, which translates to the following combination of ImageObserver constants:
    WIDTH | HEIGHT | PROPERTIESAs matter of fact, the dimensions are indeed determined correctly. However, when the loading process terminates, the checkImage result includes ALLBITS or FRAMEBITS in case of success, ABORT or ERROR in case of failure. None of these bits is ever turned on whenever I try to load a Targa image.
    (2) When I get to the MediaTracker source code, I see that when none of the four bytes above is set, the internal MediaTracker status has the MediaTracker.LOADING bit turned on (nothing abnormal here). And the waitForID method terminates precisely only when this bit is turned off!
    Logically, if the loading process fails for some reason, I should expect to get an error response so that I can go further in code execution. However, since the loading process never terminates, everything stays blocked at the waitForID method invocation.
    Is there an efficient way to detect such a hidden loading error without letting my program go into the waitForID endless loop? In other words, going back to the first two lines of code of this message, how could I detect that an Image loading process will not terminate before calling the ImageIcon constructor?
    Thanks in advance for any useful help...
    Jean-Fran�ois Morin

    Hi:
    I tried precisely your suggestion before posting my message to the forum yesterday. I just forgot to mention it... Maybe I was afraid of increasing my message length more and more...
    I already know that this solution prevents the MediaTracker from blocking. However...
    (1) If they reach a troublesome image (like a Targa), the users of my application might not be pleased by its freezing for 10 seconds. Actually, this image loading module is part of an architecture for database applications from which my development team and I produce applications for various customers. Images are used, in particular, in Oracle BLOB support.
    (2) If I use a smaller timeout delay, I have no guarantee that any image, whatever its length, will load properly (Targa excluded, of course). According to tests I performed yesterday, I am virtually sure that the 10-second delay will be busted very easily by pictures larger than 1 Mb. I cannot overlook this potential problem: an Oracle BLOB can contain up to 2 terabytes of data!
    On the other side, I don't want to focus too much the attention on the JIMI Targa import filter because I know that a revised version of the JIMI and JAI packages will be part of JDK 1.4. This is why I am trying to figure out what is happening in the MediaTracker and Toolkit classes, which are much more fundamental than the Jimi ones...
    Thanks anyway...
    Best regards,
    Jean-Fran�ois Morin

  • How do I prevent the Airport Extreme router from dropping with DSL when a call comes in?

    I just installed a new Aiport Extreme 802.11n router. I am using DSL and it works great until someone calls me. When the phone rings and my answering machine answers the call the router drops and start flashing amber.My old router did not have this problem. Is there an option I can set that will prevent the router from dropping when someone calls me?

    The AirPort Extreme should be configured to "create a wireless network" with the same WiFi network name, security type (usually WPA2 Personal) and password as your existing router. It should be configured as connection type Ethernet and be in bridge mode.
