How to make new Maxtor 500 GB the primary drive on my G5

I filled my 160 hd which came with my G5 1.8 Mhz with applications and Iphoto pics. Now that am shooting raw, even larger files. I would like to use Photoshop and Lightroom, new upgrades are available, but my Hd has only 14GB left. I use backup to external hd , but don't know how to retrieve lost IPhoto pics (library) nor my Photoshop pics which I had given batch names, and file information to.
I tried putting the utility disc in thinking after installing the HD it wouod be recognized and I could proceed to install Tiger, partition a bootable drive, etc. I need a good reference. My books are to vague. I wrote another post on this topic and cannot find it anywhere??? Please refer me to any good reference articles in the apple database or other posts with people upgrading their internal hard drives. I want to be able to use all my apps from the biggest drive. I have been putting photoshop images into external drive and deleting from my primary drive to make space and limp on with barely any memory in my startup disc. What do people do when using big hog programs and large images files?

Swapping and adding a hard drive is asked almost daily.
Downloaded and read the pdf guide to SuperDuper and then use it for backups.
Uou should never let a drive get down below 10% free space.

  • How to make new tabs open in the url I desire?

    the info on the page that best describes the solution is way WAY too techie for non-tech-but-otherwise-intelligent people.
    how about if you put something where non-tech-but-willing-to-try folks are likely to look for it, namely the "tab" area under "options"? perhaps a box that shows where firefox currently directs when a new tab is opened and a simplistic way to enter the desired url?
    thank you.

    You can set the browser.newtab.url pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to the desired URL.
    Type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the <i>Enter</i> key to open the <i>about:config</i> page like you open a website by typing the URL in the location bar.
    *If you see a warning message then you can confirm that you want to access the about:config page.
    You can use the Search bar at the top of the about:config page to locate preferences more easily
    So in this case start typing browser.newtab until you see the line with the browser.newtab.url pref.
    You can right-click this line and select modify and change the value of this pref to your preferred new tab website.

  • How to make new directory to check the valid path?

    Hi gurus,
    Is there a way to validate the path while creating DIRECTORY?
    e.g. SQL> CREATE DIRECTORY dump_dir AS 'u01/users/dump';
    Can I validate the path from the SQL?
    Thanks,
    Prakash

    Oracle doesn't check the path exists, you must make sure the path is well written and it really exists on your OS. In the case of Unix like OS' you must make sure it has enough privileges for the oracle os user to be able to at least read and write if required.

  • Initializing new Maxtor 500 GB 2nd Hard Drive

    I purchased and installed a new 500GB Maxtor drive for my Mac G5 and everything went perfect. (MS eat your heart out).
    My question is this... after formating (Mac OS Extended, journaled),.. the available space is 460 GB. What does the OS do with the other 40 GB on the 500 GB drive? Why does it take so much space? 40 GB is nothing to scoff at.

    Drive manufacturers spec their drives based on a MegaByte being equal to 1,000,000 bytes so a 500 GB drive stores 500,000,000,000 bytes based on that standard. Computers, however, base a MegaByte as being equal to 1,048,576 bytes (2^20.) Thus, the "true" formatted capacity of the drive is 465.66 GBs less a tad for overhead. You aren't missing any space, it's a difference in measurement. If you read drive specs carefully you will usually find a footnote somewhere with a disclaimer stating that the megabyte is defined as 1,000,000 bytes (or a gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 bytes.)

  • How to make arch bootable after shifting the hard drive?

    I have two hard drives, each having an OS installed (Arch on sda, Win on sdb). I change the boot order in BIOS to switch between the OS's, and it works fine. Grub is installed in mbr.
    But now I wanna change the connection of these two drives (Arch=>sdb, Win=>sda). After doing that, however, windows is still bootable, while Arch not any more.
    I can sucessfully see Grub, but errors occur after that. I'm not sure what I should do to make Arch bootable. Can anyone give me some ideas?

    If you can see Grub, then the system is reading it OK, but you'll need to boot the system and fix your /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab files to refer to hd(1) and sdb respectively.
    To boot the system, you have 2 options:
    1) When Grub shows up, press 'e' to edit the "ArchLinux" entry. Then press 'e' again to edit the 'root' line and then change hd(0,0) to hd(1,0)  (the second number might be different depending how your partition table is setup).  Then you can press 'b' to boot.
    2) Use an install CD to boot, then mount your Arch partition and edit the files from there

  • How to make new line in JButton.setText()?

    how to make new line in JButton.setText()?
    I want to set the text of jbutton in tow line ,as follows
    | jbutton-line1 |
    | xxxxxxx-line2 |
    i konw i can jbtton.settext("<html>line1<br>line2</html>");
    but i find it's ugly using html,
    is there anyother way to create new line in JButton's Text

    As for the above comment....
    I thought the question was well purposed. Using HTML was not acceptable in this instance, which was made clear, so why critisize his comments? "Using HTML" is a poor solution, it does NOT work in many instances due to browser, OS variations. Usually the "common answer" is never a COMPLETE answer.
    Possible Solution:
    Use JLabels to render the text on the button.
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    public class ButtonMaker {
    public static void makeButton(JButton jb, String[] titleList) {
    jb.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    for (int i = 0; i < titleList.length; i++) {
    JLabel tmpLabel = new JLabel(titleList);
    tmpLabel.setForeground(Color.black);
    jb.add(tmpLabel);
    public static void clearButton(JButton jb) {
    Component[] cList = jb.getComponents();
    for (int i = 0; i < cList.length; i++) {
    if (cList[i] instanceof JLabel)
    jb.remove(cList[i]);
    Known Limitations:
    1. Flowlayout does not work well with single line text buttons... perhaps another layout manager may work better for various buttonsizes-linenumber combos.
    2. Mac OSX : The default UI for Mac OS X (and above it seems), is to have rounded edged buttons. These rounded edges are destoryed when using JLabels, leaving a square, blocky button in its place.
    POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
    (this is ugly and time consuming)
    - create images of the button with text on them.

    The Oracle documentation has a good overview of the options available

    Without knowing your version, I just picked 11.2, so you made need to look for that chapter in the documentation for your version to find applicable information.

    How to make a photo STAY in the assets panel for future use for In browser editing?
    When I delete a photo from a page, it does not stay in the assets panel. My client uses in browser editing daily. Once a week he changes a photo just for a day, then needs the previous photo to replace it. The original photo is not in the asset panel (or folder) for him to choose.
    When you upload a photo, it has an arrow in the asset panel. How do you use this as an asset?

    Sure ... right mouse click on  your page and choose 'Exclude Page from Menus' :-)

    how to make a good flow in the case?

    Browser variation is something we must all deal with.  For best results, begin projects with a clear idea of what type of layout you need (1-column, 2-column, 3-column or Multi-column grid).  Then get a CSS Layout that meets your requirements.
