How to migrate my HDD to a smaller SSD?

Hello,
Here is my current partition scheme:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 122 979933+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 123 6201 48829567+ 83 Linux

/dev/sda5 130G 96G 27G 79% /home
/dev/sda3 46G 631M 43G 2% /mnt/windows
I want to migrate my HDD onto my 40GB SSD. I don't want to partition the 40GB SSD, I'd rather use a single partition on it.
Do I need to install Arch on the SSD and then copy the configuration over? Or can I move/copy /boot and / onto the SSD and have a fully functioning system straight away?
Any advice on how to do it will be more than welcome
Thanks
Ludo

Well, I agree that this should work well, but I've run into some issues. I've now built the system as I want it on a virtual computer, but am having some issues with formatting the drive. I built the partition table so that the /home directory would be NTFS or FAT32 (I've tried both), and therefore readable in Windows computers (others are ext4 and ext2). This doesn't seem to work, and attempting to mount the partition in Windows 7 prompts me to format it. I'm blaming Windows for this behavior for now, but will have to eventually solve it. The more pressing issue is that when attempting to boot from the device, I'm told that the boot partition is either invalid or damaged, no matter my partition style or tool used. I did check to make sure that the /boot partition was flagged as bootable.
Viewing the partition table in either cfdisk or gparted shows everything as perfect. Fdisk complains about the partitions not ending on cylinder boundaries. I'm not sure if this is the issue, but I'm assuming that it is what's causing the issue. I solved the problem by simply going through the arch setup and making a usual installation to the usb device and overwriting it with the installation that I had prepared in virtualbox. Everything now works wonderfully. The partition tables appear exactly as they did when I created them in the other devices, but cfdisk in the arch setup context seems to do the trick.
It isn't overly important, but I'd love to hear ideas as to what I did wrong.

HDD Recovery to smaller SSD

I have a 2y4mo old Envy 14 with a dying Samsung HM640JJ (640 Gb). I just purchased a Samsung 840 Pro 256 Gb SSD. I read somewhere that using the recovery disks on a smaller than original HDD can be problematic. Is that true? If yes, what is the workaround. I did use Belarc Advisor to capture my Windows 7, 64-bit Product Key because I'm not sure if the recovery disks contain that info. I've never needed to do a recovery.

Hi:
You can try the recovery disks because you have nothing to lose by doing so, but be prepared for failure.
The product key you captured will not work to activate a plain installation of W7.
That is a pre-activated OEM volume license key which is used on hundreds of (or more) PC's
You will have to use the 25 character W7 product key printed on the MS COA sticker found on the bottom of your PC.
Then use this workaround to install W7 using the product key on your PC's case.
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

How to migrate from internal hard drive to SSD (Solid State Drive)?

I just bought 128GB SSD. I want to replace my internal hard drive with SSD on MacBook Pro. My internal drive has only Mac OS installed (no dual boot with Windows/Linux). Going forward I want to boot my Mac OS from SSD and use internal drive for backup purposes only. I read many forums regarding this here, but each one talks about different methods of doing it.
* Carbon Copy Cloner for the Mac side (free)
* Casper 6.0 for the Windows side (not free)
* SuperDuper
Can some one provide me with simple steps to migrate Mac OS along with my personal data from internal hard drive to SSD?

Because Windows is not involved, you don't need Casper or anything else Windows-related.
Use Disk Utility to repair permissions and repair the directory on your internal hard drive. Buy an external SATA hard drive enclosure* and mount your SSD in it. Connect it to the MBP and use Disk Utility to create a single GUID partition on it, formatting the partition Mac OS Extended. Use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner, it doesn't matter which, to make a bootable clone of the internal hard drive on the SSD in the external enclosure. Restart the computer holding down the Option key, and select the SSD to start up from; the purpose here is to verify that the SSD really is bootable. If that works OK, shut down, disconnect the external enclosure, and exchange the drives.
*I recommend a FireWire 800 enclosure, but they are much more expensive than USB-only enclosures, which will work OK — USB is just slow.

I brought an Intel SSD 730 480GB 5GBs Sata 3
I also brought a RAID CARD SYBA| SYPEX40039 bootable. attached the ssd to that.
I like to migrate the Windows volume to the SSD.
but I have trouble to get the boot manager on to the ssd. despite not using uefi on the original install on the 1Tb drive. I can't use ghost. if I use ghost form the other partition(vista) I can clone partition but the 1TB is too huge to
for disk to disk cloning to ssd 480GB
Can I start w 8.1 DVD to do a repair on the ssd to get the boot manager to there?

Hi fs - ab,
Since third party clone software frequently cause system corruption and it’s not fixable, we only recommend two ways for system installation on new hard disk: performing a clean install or using windows system image restore and both ways need reactivate
Windows 7. And for system image restore, you can only do a system image recovery to a HDD or SSD that is the same size or larger than the one(s) included in the system image when it was created. You will not be able to do a system image recovery to a smaller
HDD/SSD. If the HDDs/SSDs are larger, then you will have "unallocated" space afterwards that is left over from the difference that you can extend into.
In that case, we VERY recommend you to perform a clean install for new hard disk.
Note: If you decide to use windows system image to restore your computer, you need to create a windows recovery disk (drive) for entry to Windows repair environment.

Living with a small SSD Boot Drive on New Pro??? Migration?

Hi Folks, I am seriously considering moving to a new mac pro from my 2008 tower. Aside from peripheral issues, my main concern is how to use the smaller SSD boot drive vs. my now current 2T drive? I've been a mac user since 1985 and my user folder with gigs of mail, documents, pictures (iPhoto and Aperture) and videos, etc., plus my application folder, is much larger than a 512 SSD. I now use a 3T drive as a separate movie/video FinalCut drive, so I've stored that separately. It just seems that if I try to do a migration of my current mac to a new one, I'm going to be creating major headaches and problems.
Before I buy something like that, I need to have a good strategy for a move.

You should try your cyrrent system and clone the OS to a 250GB SSD and 2-3TB data drive
The difference is nothing but remarjabke znd easy to do.
The 2600xt really should have been retured already and confivurd your system with 16GB RAM or more
Might be able to get more out if your Mac and get another year or more
Using one drive only is never a good idea.
System - data - projects - media - scratch - time machine
And putting scratch and system on multiple SSDs and on PCIE controller card
And then a GTX 680 or AMD Mac 7950 graphic card
The nMP is faster but it still needs work and yiurs isn't dead

Satellite A200-10X: How to partitioning the HDD

Hi there guys!
I have a pro with my satellite A200-10X, it has only one HDD volume, and i want to make them two... and everytime i use the product recovery CD, it formats the HDD... but i do not know how to partition the HDD two get two volume spaces...
and whats worse is that when i keep on doing that over and over it eats the HDD free space... so how can i partition the HDD and recover the 200GB space the computer originally have?
i appreciate your help ..
thanx

Hello Sherif
If you use delivered recovery media you have follow options:
1. the whole HDD capacity can be used for partition C
2. the HDD capacity can be split and you can create two partitions
When you use both options Vista will create 1,4 GB partition but this partition will not be visible when you use OS.
If you want to have two partitions (C and D) start recovery procedure and after choosing the language use SETUP button on the right side. In the middle of the screen occurs small window and there you can set how much capacity should be reserved for partition C. when the recovery procedure is finished and Vista starts open Computer Management.
On the left side choose Disk Management. After doing this on the left side you will see partition marked as black. This is second partition but still not visible. Click there with right mouse button and choose option to create logical drive. Follow the setup procedure.
After few steps this partition will be set as logical drive and after formatting it will be visible in Vista Explorer.
If you have more questions please post again.

How to migrate BPM 11g server to another BPM 11g server

Hi All,
There is no change on BPM version (BPMN Editor 11.1.1.3.0.6.84 )
just simply a physical migrate, changed application server, DB and server domain/IP
Now we met questions when migrate DB date, there are four schemas DEV_MDS、DEV_SOAINFRA、DEV_ORABAM、DEV_ORASDPM, cannot used including install config settings, could not be used any more, could not be started.
Is there any guide of how to migrate just user data please?
Thanks for any help!
Regards,
Katherine

Migration of environment should really be done through backup tools that ensure a consistent point-in-time view of the data. We recently had a need to use import/export for an environment. I'll post those notes here hopefully save some time if you have to use this approach. But I'll emphasize again that a backup/restore model is the better way to go.
What we did
We took an environment that had a small set of BPM processes and exported the data from the three core schemas.
•     PS2_MDS
•     PS2_SOAINFRA
•     PS2_ORASDPM
We then loaded that data into another domain, started the server, and interacted with the composites that had originally been deployed in another domain.
What we didn’t do
•     Export complex composites. We didn’t have access to things like AIA applications
•     Export large amounts of data
•     Test a broad set of features. We did use Workspace to create roles, view dashboard, and interact with task lists.
What we learned
We believe this confirmed the basic assumption that data can be exported from one BPM/SOA environment, then loaded and run in another environment. However the issues around user privileges, starting queues, etc, highlight the need to test the process in a broader context.
Tools Used
Data Pump
Data Pump is an import/export tool provided by Oracle. A summary of features can be found at:
http://wiki.oracle.com/page/Data+Pump+Export+%28expdp%29+and+Data+Pump+Import%28impdp%29
SQL*Plus
Used to run scripts
Setup
Create Users
The data pump export will include privilege information in the export. And the data pump import will create users in the target database (assuming sufficient privileges for the user running the import). However we found that some roles related to AQ were not granted during the import. To resolve that issue we created scripts to pre-create the schema users and grant required privileges in the target environment.
TODO:
1.     Review the required privileges to see if there are data pump options that would resolve this
2.     Verify that there are no additional privileges needed by applications in the target integration environment.
Create Output Directory
Data Pump needs to have access to the file system from the database.
Make sure that the output directory is writable by the DB process.
From SQL*Plus:
create directory dbexport as '/scratch/ dbexport';
grant read,write on directory dbexport to system;
Export Data For Selected Schemas
The Data Pump tool supports providing a list of schemas to export as part of a single operation. In this test case we exported the following core BPM schemas to a single file. The commands are in the do_exp.sh script.
•     PS2_MDS
•     PS2_SOAINFRA
•     PS2_ORASDPM
TODO:
1.     Verify space required for the target database to ensure that there is sufficient space to export the data.
Import Data into Target Schemas
Data Pump supports mapping schema names and table spaces as part of the import specification. In this case we used the same Oracle instance, so the schemas were mapped to new names. The PS2 prefix was mapped to XYZ.
Note that the OID transform property is required to avoid conflicts with existing object Identifiers.
impdp system/welcome1 DIRECTORY=dbexport DUMPFILE=bpm.dmp transform=oid:n \
REMAP_TABLESPACE=PS2_MDS:XYZ_MDS \
REMAP_TABLESPACE=PS2_SOAINFRA:XYZ_SOAINFRA \
REMAP_TABLESPACE=PS2_IAS_ORASDPM:XYZ_IAS_ORASDPM \
REMAP_SCHEMA=PS2_MDS:XYZ_MDS \
REMAP_SCHEMA=PS2_SOAINFRA:XYZ_SOAINFRA \
REMAP_SCHEMA=PS2_ORASDPM:XYZ_ORASDPM \
TODO:
1.     Check the log for errors. The only errors we saw were related to trying to build stats on empty indexes.
2.     Identify any other schemas being used
3.     Verify if any other transform operators are needed
Post Import
Start Queues
SOA infrastructure makes use of queues in the DB server. While the queue structures were created, they were not started as part of the import. The start_queues.sql script starts the queues.
TODO:
1.     Verify if there are any other queues that need to be started/configured
2.     Verify if there are any other Stream/Queuing configuration tasks needed
Update Data Sources on WLS
Assuming an existing installation of SOA, the datasources need to be updated to use the new schemas.
Start Domain and Verify Logs
It’s important to check the admin and managed server logs for errors related to composite instances and MDS operations.
Verify Composite State
Log into EM and ensure that the state of instances is consistent with the prior state.
Verify Application Roles and Role Mappings
Since the composites are loaded from MDS, there will be no deployment to create application roles. If the environment is using LDAP or DB, then the validation is to check the mappings through Workspace. If the old environment used a file store, then you’d have to crate the role mappings through Workspace.
Verify Workspace Operations on Existing Instances
Verify that task list operations and dashboards are functional.

OIM11gR2 - How to migrate an Application Instance Form

Hello,
I'm trying to migrate an Application Instance Form from my Dev env to my QA env.
My target system is SAP
I performed the following steps in Dev:
1. Installed and configured the SAP Connector (no problem here)
2. Created a sandbox
3. Created an Application Instance
4. Created the Application Instance Form
5. Ran a target reconciliation to confirm everything is working properly
6. Exported the sandbox
7. Published the sandbox
8. Via Deployment Manager I exported all objects related to SAP (Resource object, Process Forms, Lookups etc.)
In QA I did:
9. Installed and configured the SAP Connector (no problem here)
10. Via Deployment Manager I imported the objects related to SAP
11. Imported the sandbox
Problem:
To my surprise, the Application Instance does not have a Form in the QA env.
I had to create it manually by performing the following:
12. Create a sandbox
13. Open the Application Instance definition
14. Click on create (to create a form)
15. Entered the same name I used in my Dev environment
16. Received an error message saying that the form already exists
17. Entered a different name for the Form
18. Saved
19. Exported the sandbox (to import in Prd)
20. Published the sandbox
21. Ran a target reconciliation to confirm everything is working properly
I tried to reproduce the problem with another (test) destination environment because I don't want to have the same problem when migrating to Prd.
I repeated the steps 9,10,11 except that I imported the sandbox exported from QA (step 19) instead.
The same problem: Application Instance definition has no Form attached to it in my test destination environment.
If I try to create the form with the same name, it gives an error message saying it is already there.
Is my procedure wrong?
Is there an official procedure explaining how to migrate only Application Instance Form from one env to another?
My env:
OS: Windows 2008 R2 SP1
OIM: 11gR2 BP7
SAP connector: 9.1.2.2.0
Thanks,
Adr

This is a bug: Bug:16027176
Check the [Article ID 1515225.1] which proposes a workaround that might be useful in your case (it was not in mine).
In short the workaround is:
The following order should be observed to export :
- IT Resource & Application instance in one xml
- Request DataSet in another xml
- SysAdmin Sandbox (the one defined while creating the Application Instance and the Form)
- Identity URL Sandbox (defined while customizing the fields on the Form, in the Catalogue page)

How to migrate ADE content to a new computer

At some point, everybody needs to upgrade to a new computer.
After reading a great many postings in this forum, it seems obvious to me that many of us would greatly benefit from some specific guidance on how to install Adobe Digital Editions and Sony Reader Library Software (and reader device) or some other e-book application on the new computer, and then move the previously purchased e-book content from the old to new computer in a way that will ensure that the e-books can still be read.
Specifically, I think that some/better guidance needs to be provided on the sequence of steps that must be taken, and the options that should (or should not) be selected to accomplish these actions. For example, does ADE software get installed on the new PC first, or after installing the Sony reader library (or other reader) software? Should we authorize the new computer? How about the portable reader devices (Sony P600), do we leave the content on these or will we need to reload it? Is there a way to ensure the Adobe ID for both SW applications (ADE & Sony Library) are the same so we don't get new or different ID assigned? Will a reader device (which may already contain ebook content) be recognized and automatically resynch with the new computer? and can it move its content from reader to PC, or must the purchased content first be loaded onto the new PC from the old PC, and then be moved (again) to the reader device?
I can't help but think that answers to these (and many other) questions could be far more easily communicated by proactively publishing some basic (if general) procedures for accomplishing common actions like these, rather than repeatedly providing help to each of us after we have already done the wrong thing. While technical help is always greatly appreciated, and it may be easier to address a specific problem, it is more effective to provide information that will help us avoid the problem in the first place, and thus reduce the case load and improve response time.
If I were sufficiently knowledgable to be capable of providing this general guidance myself, I would certainly do so, but count me among the ignorant masses that are simply trying to buy, download, and read their e-books without rendering all their purchased content inaccesible. I certainly wouldn't want to inadvertently provide misinformation that might cause even greater problems.
In short, I think that all of us (forum readers) would greatly like to have some simple instructions presented on what to do, (or not to do), to initially set up our computers and to accomplish other basic functions once this has been done.
Won't somebody with the needed expertise undertake to provide some instructions in this forum?
Thanks (in advance) for you support.
P.S. - Keeping purchased content on original (old) and new computers is NOT an option.

How to migrate ADE from one computer to another:
1.) Ensure that your current content is authorized to an AdobeID
In ADE select "Authorize Computer" from the "Library" menu if it shows you your AdobeID you are good to go.
2.) Copy files - the files are the .epub and .pdf files in your Digital Editions folder in your Documents directory. Alternatively you can simply copy the whole Digital Editions folder. If you copy the whole folder make sure you place it into your Documents directory.
Note: on Windows the folder names are "My Digital Editions" and "My Documents"
3.) Install ADE on the new computer, make sure you enter in the AdobeID from step 1 and the password when asked
The AdobeID that registred and shown (in step1) above is the same for ADE as it is for Sony EBL (the Sony desktop software) - they both pull from the same place.
Unfortunately I don't know the steps for migrating Sony EBL.
For the content on the reader device, you can leave them alone.

I just finished migrating a client from Google Apps to Microsoft Exchange Online using the IMAP option in the Microsoft Online Services Migration Tool.
I added the mailboxes by creating a CSV file [i.e. GoogleApps(Gmail)_Mailboxes.csv] in the following format:
SourceIdentity,SourceServer,SourceLoginID,SourcePassword,TargetIdentity
[email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword1,[email protected]
[email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword2,[email protected]
[email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword3,[email protected]
Then I created a custom folder map XML file [i.e. GoogleApps(Gmail)_FolderMap.xml] to map the Google Apps (Gmail) labels to the appropriate Exchange (Outlook) mailbox folders and create those that didn't exist (i.e. Important, Starred, Follow up,
Misc, Priority) as sub-folders under the Inbox:

Additionally, I had to tell the Internet E-mail Mailbox Migration Wizard to use the "Individual Account Credentials" option since I was able to specify each account password in the CSV file when adding the mailboxes to Microsoft Online Services Migration
Tools console.
Just to note, the users had to manually export their contacts to a CSV file and calendars to iCal (ICS) files in order to import those items into Outlook.
I hope this will benefit others since Microsoft doesn't seem to have a custom, specifically defined migration strategy for this scenario. With Google Apps being in direct competition with BPOS/Office365, I assumed that Microsoft would have a simple
strategy using something like ActiveSync to facilitate the migration of email, contacts, calendar entries, etc. Hopefully we'll see something along those lines become available in a future release of the migration tools.

On a new imac how much of the HDD is already used with the OS,iLife,apps..

Looking to buy my 1st ever iMac, the one Im going to get is the base one, with 250Gb HDD (I may upgrade to 320Gb for UK £29 though)
My question is how much of the HDD is already used by OS X and everything on it? I understand there is some free trial stuff onthat can be installed eg MS Office, iWork etc I would want these removed as wouldnt want them so how much is left before you start adding your own stuff
I also want to install Win XP on it so need to know what to do, 250Gb in todays computing is very stingy I think, so I need an idea
cheers

Here's are some disk usage information from my 20" white C2D. The numbers
are running totals that include periodic software updates and some of my own
stuff -- but that would be less than 0.5 GB of the final total.
OS-X with "no optional packages" is a very usable system; it includes 'core'
applications such as Safari, iTunes, Quicktime. It does not include any of the
iLife apps or the iWork/MS_Office test-drive bloatwares.
The large increase in disk usage for a minimum Leopard system is partly due
to the inclusion of more apps in the 'core' OS package. Some things that were
optional in Tiger have become part of the "minimum" Leopard install.
The Xcode software development tools are a standard part of every OS-X
distribution, but since most customers have no use for them, they're not
included in the factory-installed disk image. If you don't plan to install
them, subtract 3.4 GB from the final tally.
Factory pre-installed Tiger 10.4.8 & bundled software .................. 16.4 GB
Erase & Install Tiger 10.4.8 with NO optional packages .................. 2.9 GB
SoftwareUpdate to 10.4.10, with NO optional packages .................. 3.1 GB
Erase & Install Leopard 10.5.0 with NO optional packages ............... 6.6 GB
SoftwareUpdate (11/11, immediately after Leopard install) ............. 6.7 GB
Install Xcode SW development tools from Leopard DVD ................. 10.1 GB
Install & SoftwareUpdate iLife'08 (except iWeb & GarageBand) ....... 12.3 GB
SoftwareUpdate to Leopard 10.5.1.................................................. 12.5 GB
IMO, 250 GB is FAR more than you'll ever need for installable software plus
a sizeable collection of music/photos. OTOH, no amount of disk space will
ever be enough for an avid music/photo/video junkie, and everyone should
have an external backup drive. So, stick with the standard internal drive and
buy more external storage.

How to migrate Mail & Contacts from backup disk of old PPC iMac (10.3.9) to new iMac (10.8.1)?
The Firewire disk is connected and have been able to copy across document folders etc, but Migration Assistant doesn't find the disk so that method no good. Any help appreciated.

Thanks, that looks very comprehensive. Wish I'd seen it before completing Set-Up Assistant initially! Will follow his instructions and report back.
