Mavericks disk (partition bug)

I upgrated to Mavericks on one of my partition (Macintosh HD 2) and deleted the other one. BUT Mavericks won't let me "update" the size of my partition (Macintosh HD 2) even though i have free space (up to 200 Go) ! Help ? Thanks !

I also have something wrong ,but it could be the fact I have to many Partitions !
Every Partition I have is arranged differently depending on what Disk Utility I view on what Partition I am in.
so I have one Recovery Disk that I can boot into and some Volumes are not mounted and Show error
1.  Alert ' Live file system repair is not supported '
2 .  In red, ' EFI Partition File system needs repair '
3 Problems were foiund during Partiton repair
Surely A 10.6 DVD is going to repair a partition Map !
There is a difference in the DU in Applications in Installed OSX and the DU on the DVD ,and I use this to repair
So should I use a Memory stick and use R  and DU externally ?

  • Help Can't Install Maverick "disk doesn't use the GUID Partition-"

    I have an imac and i'm using bootcamp fro windows 8.  so I have Macintosh HD and BOOTCAMP Partitions. both partition have Master Boot Record as the Partition Scheme.  When trying to install OS X Mavericks it rell me that "This disk doesn't use the GUID Partition Table scheme. ..." it tells me to use Disk Utility to select the disk ->partition -> select Volume Scheme and then Options... but option is grayed out... I can not change it and so can not install Mavericks... how do I solve the this issue without losing any data in mac and in windows? without deleting partitions if possible?
    thanks

    GUID is a drive map layout. You can only change it by opening Disk Utility, highlighting the physical drive and choosing the Partition tab. Then change the partition layout to anything other than Current. The Options button below that will then be active and you can then finally change the drive map from whatever it is now to GUID.
    Note that since you must repartition the drive, you WILL lose everything on all partitions. So you MUST back up everything FIRST to another drive. This can be a clone to another physical drive, internal or external. When you clone it back after repartitioning, the drive map does not change.
    To check your current drive layout, open Disk Utility and click on the physical drive you want to install Mavericks on. Example:
    Then look at the lower right of Disk Utility's box. If you see anything other than GUID Partition Table, as shown below, then you must repartition the drive.
    The other main problem is that you have to have another drive to boot to before you can change the one that needs to be repartitioned. Clone your current drive to another physical drive, not another partition on the same drive. Once the clone is complete, boot to that drive and you'll be able to repartition the drive you need to change.

  • I am in mavericks disk utility recovery mode as my mac book will not boot up & stays only on the grey apple screen. When I verify the disk I get open error5 :input /output error on Syst stuck on 1 minute pouring out over 50 error messages & still counting

    I am in Mavericks disk utility recovery mode as my mac book pro will not boot up & stays on the Apple grey screen . When I verify disk permissions I get
    Open error 5:"input/ output error" on syst with over 50 of this messages & still counting . Disk Utility says 1 minute
    But this has been going on for over 10 mins .
    I can not verify disk or repair disk .
    I have tried to reinstall mavericks operating system but it says my hard drive is locked which is very strange .
    Does anyone know what is going on here ?
    My system looks like it has been totally corrupted . Thanks Andrew

    Could be. The "lock" isn't actually looking for a password.
    WARNING: This will completely erase the ENTIRE hard drive.
    What you would need to do is boot to recovery > disk utility > select the MAIN drive on the left side > partition > change partition layout from CURRENT to 1 PARTITION > ensure on the right side it says Format : Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) then push APPLY.
    Then if it will allow us, close the windows until you see the 4 options popup again and select "Reinstall Mac OS X" select the Mac HD and you should be good to go!

  • WARNING: Insufficient disk partition space.

    im trying to install J2EE SDK on a SunBlade 150 with Solaris 8. I get the following error message during the drivespace check:

  • Changing the size and/or erasing a disk partition

    I have a 2010 MacBook Pro with two disk partitions. The original is 100G and runs Mavericks, and the other is 200G and runs Snow Leopard.  I can change the size of the partition with Snow Leopard that I created but not the original.  In the end I need the partition running snow leopard to be 100G and the original with Mavericks to be 200G.  Essentially swap the size.  Do I need to erase the partition I created to change the size of the original.  If so, what is the best way to do this?

    This is Apple's guidance on disk partitioning.

  • Can't resize disk partitions after Yosemite install.

    My disk has two partitions. I run Mavericks on the first, and recently installed Yosemite on the second. The OS works fine, but I no way to resize the partitions. I've tried booting into both Yosemite and Mavericks but the partition layout in disk utility appears locked with fixed partition sizes.
    It now appears that I have two options.
    Use the undocumented "resizeVolume" command in diskutil to resize the core storage volume in my Yosemite partition, or
    Use the "revert" command in diskutil to revert from core storage to the default partition type and try my luck.
    Is anyone else facing this issue of not being able to resize your disk partitions after the Yosemite install, and if so, how did you resolve this?
    Thanks in advance.

    None of these worked. I had to resolve this the hard way.
    Make a complete TM backup of the new Yosemite installation.
    Use a bootable install DVD or USB drive, re-partition the disk and do a complete reinstall.
    Recover the applications and data from the TM backup.
    It took me about an hour and a half once I decided on this approach, not counting the hours wasted trying to get it working.
    To give them credit, the TM backup and restore worked flawlessly and all my apps and data were back without a hitch.
    However, reading the other posts in the forum and elsewhere it does appear that Apple has not done a good job with the disk utility in supporting core storage volumes, which is fairly ridiculous since Yosemite defaults to that without giving you a choice.

  • Keeps corrupting disk partition, even new disk

    After 6.5 reliable years, my Macbook Pro (mid-2007 model 3,1) failed to boot, just freezing at the white screen (in Mtn. Lion) even when the shift is held down for "safe boot". Although Disk Utility and Apple Hardware Test found nothing wrong with the hard drive, I replaced it along with the battery with brand new ones. Since then, no matter what OS X version I load (10.6.8, 10.8, Mavericks), the same problem occurs without warning after 2 or 3 weeks of normal use.
    Disk Warrior finds one or two damaged, seemingly non-crucial files each time, but their removal does not correct things. I partitioned the disk last time, and loaded Snow Leopard onto both so I would have a spare. Also fixed permissions. But sure enough, after a couple of weeks the partition most used is not openable while the other one still operates beautifully, no twirling beach balls or anything. But I know it's living on borrowed time.
    Can a logic board crap out after years pass and permanently corrupt a disk partition while leaving the rest intact? Could a failing PRAM battery do something like this?

    Could be that your new disk is also borked, but I would try getting a new SATA cable in the meantime.
    Good luck!

  • How to reuse the same disk (partition) for next ASM configuration?

    Hello All,
    I had successfully installed and configured ASM instance once, but I need to do a reinstallation and I would like to use the same disk (partition) as with previous ASM configuration.
    The disk path used was: /dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s7
    I have to regretfully admit that I may not have used the right ASM un-installation procedure. I ran installer and opted to de-install products. Consequently, I had removed ASM home. Now, when I running new ASM installation, everything goes fine until the screen where I should select disks for ASM configuration. Unfortunately, I see the /dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s7 with status > MEMBER < and I can't select it for the new ASM installation.
    I will really appreciate if anyone can let me know how to change status from MEMBER to CANDIDATE.
    Thank you for your time.
    DanielD

    Overwrite the first several MB of the partition with /dev/zero.
    So, use this command:
    # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s7 bs=1024k count=10
    That clears out the ASM header on the disk so that it looks like a clean disk again.

  • After errors with disk partition, I removed Windows from my iMac. Now when I start my computer it goes into a black screen and not straight into the Mac area like it used to, unless I hold Alt straight away to give me the option.  Any help?

    Hi,
    Sorry, I'm new to the community, so apologies if I'm repeating myself.
    OK, so I tried to install Windows Vista onto my iMac with the disk partition.  Everything was going fine and it wasn't until last minute, when it was installed that an error came up saying that this can only be done with Windows 7.  After this error, I couldn't access any errors of my iMac and when I shut down and restarted my computer, it automatically logged into Windows.
    So after a panic, I rang Apple Care and the lady helped me log into my apple area, delete Windows from my iMac, and all was restored.
    However, now when I shut down my computer and boot it back up, I think my iMac is trying to log into Windows areas that no longer exist.  It loads up a black screen and doesn't move from there.  To log into my Apple area, I have to do the whole process of holding Alt immediately after I switch the power on and access the Mac drive and log in that way.
    It's beginning to become a real pain and I'm paranoid this process is going to damage my computer.  Any advice on how to restore logging-in back to it's former glory when I first purchased it?
    Thanks

    Solved it.  Thank you very much for that!

  • Can't erase anything on an external hard disk partition of bootable backup ____error message -50 "Error in user parameter"

    I am using MACOSX 10.6
    The data on the disk partition  on my Iomega 2Tb external hard disk drive (labeled "Bootable Backup") was written by Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC ver. 3.37)
    I have had problems with overwriting this using CCC, and I have also had troubles changeing the data on my "Versioned Backup"  partition, using either CrashPlan or CCC
    A third partition that was virgin ("Half-Tb Volume") on the same external disk drive, however, DID accept the latest CCC bootable backup of my Macintosh HD...which is the reason I want to recover rthe space on the first bootable backup partition.
    I have not found any links to this error using Google search, apart from the definition.
    Anyone

    Do a backup using Time Machine or a clone. Then boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R) on a restart. Run Disk Utility Repair disk. If it can't repair the disk, then select the erase tab and reformat using Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Also click the Option button and select GUID. When complete, reboot normally and restore your data.
    Please update your profile to reflect the OS you are running.

  • How do I move my photo library to a different disk partition?

    How do I move my iPhoto library to a different disk partition?

    Drag it to a partition or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended. If you want that copy to be an active iPhoto library and not a backup, also launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and point it to the new location.

  • How to install ASM on MS Windows XP with regular disk partitions

    Hi,
    I just want to try out the feature ASM on my pc.
    OS => MS Windows XP sp2, two disk partitions.
    First I have installed the 10.2 software and then created a database.
    After this, I use DBCA to create the ASM.
    I have to run localconfig. But I still cannot see my disks (partitions C and D) on the Configure Automatic Storage Management page.
    What I have done wrong?

  • Hard disk partition not showing up during window 7 install

    STOP - 0x00000116 error . I
    want to install fresh OS from usb stick but the hard disk partition is not showing up. Only USB stick is getting detected.
    Please help .. I have an interview and I need to fix this issue asap.

    Hi there,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that your hard drive is not showing up, presumably as a bootable partition. I am happy to help, but I need a bit more clarification of your problem. You mention a 0x00000116 error as well, which is normally part of a Blue Screen of Death. Does this happen regularly as well, or is that the real complaint, that you are getting the 0x code and a BLue Screen on startup?
    That particular code is generally associated with a video driver problem.
    Is the hard drive you are trying to install to, a new replacement hard drive or the original hard drive?
    If you try to boot up the system, what error do you see?
    Are there any repeating flashing LED patterns, or beeping patterns?
    Assuming this is your original installed hard drive, did you try the recovery manager for the drive?

  • Missing Windows 8 disk partition in my Macbook(2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo

    I was using Windows 8 for the last year or so and suddenly
    while booting I could not see the windows disk partition in the computer.
    How to resolve the situation

    DDR stands for Double Data Rate, the original DDR had a speed of 266MHz, double the rate of the previous memory standard of SDRAM which ran at 133MHz.  DDR2 and then DDR3 are the successors of DDR.  To avoid fitting the wrong type of module they use different memory slots and will only fit the one they were designed for, by way of slots cut in the memory boards at precise positions which correspond to notches in the memory slots.
    If you want to know what memory will fit which computer I would go to the Crucial website and use their online Memory Advisor, put in the brand and model, it will tell you exactly which modules fit it and what kits (if any) Crucial have available for it.
