Re-installing Windows 7 with more hard drive space via bootcamp - Help!

I have installed Windows 7 via bootcamp with success. However I didn't give enough hard drive space to Bootcamp (only 6MB available! Whoops...) Can I just delete the Boot Camp partition and start again or is it more complicated?
Thanks for any help!
Steve :o)

Can I just delete the Boot Camp partition and start again
Either do that or use CampTune.

Cant install windows with 2 hard drives attached

i have an sata drive that i use for boot drive and ata for back up. i can not install windows on the sata drive if the ata drive is hooked up. windows only sees the ata drive. it will not give me a choice to install on the sata. if i unhook the ata i can install just fine on the sata. does anyone have any ideas why?
it's like when i have windows installed on the sata drive, then the windows xp pro cd does see it and lets me install on that drive only, it won't let me choose sata or ata. but if there is no OS installed on anything it only goes to the ata drive. i only want to install windows on the sata drive and do not want to keep unhooking my ata drive constantly when i reinstall windows on the sata.
can someone please help?

Danny you don't have to stay out, I just already said stuff and you told me to do something i already said i did.
Here is my current settings to get it to show my ata drive in windows and i boot from the sata cus windows is on it. currently when i install windows if no OS is on either drive it will auto install on the ata and i don't want that. i want to have a choice what drive and where to install on which means i would always install on the sata drive. but it just installs on the ata not giving me a choice. if windows is installed on the sata already then it will offer me that drive only and not allow me to select the ata. when i do a complete reformat reinstall i must unhook the ata drive and then it will work on the sata drive.
on chip ata mode - legacy
ata config- sata only
sata keep enabled - yes - greyed out. i had to mess with other native or something mode and change it to yes in order to get it like this and work for me. why?
pata keep enabled - yes- adjustable
pata channel selection - both
combined mode option - pata 1st channel - greyed out
sata ports definition - p0-1st./p1-2nd. adjustable
config sata as raid - no, greyed out.
is this a weird set up? and exactly how do i get it so i never have to unhook my ata drive again?
each drive they are all on their own channels. ata by itself, dvdrw by itself and sata by itself. all master.

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space, and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run t media from an external hard drive? If so, how do I transfer my files?

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space (32 GB), and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run itunes from an external hard drive? I have tried to follow some of the directions on this site, but am having no success. Thanks.

iTunes will run fine with the media on an external drive.
However, I suggest that a tablet computer with a tiny hard drive is not ideal as the primary computer for managing an iTunes library, even a small one. If you have another machine, perhaps a big, boxy, inexpensive old desktop with a decent amount of storage, that might be a better choice.

Where can I put in more hard drive space on my laptop around Waterloo, Ont?

Hello, I was wondering, where can I get more hard drive space on my laptop, so then I can install Boot camp and still have enough space left for my other stuff. I don't want to loose too much space, I already lost about 9.7 GB to installing Leopard.
Does anyone live in Waterloo, Ontario?

I'm currently a student at the University of Waterloo (2B term starts in September). Here are some options for you:
1) Canada Computers at King/University.
2) CampusTech at UW
3) IST help desk at UW (for UW students only, I think)
Canada Computers is right at the corner of King/Uni. It's on the northwest corner of the intersection, slightly north of University. Look for a blue sign with yellow type within a 30 second walk north of the intersection. They sell all kinds of computer hardware, although they may or may not be able to do the actual transplant for you.
CampusTech is at the Student Life Centre, on the bottom floor (basement). Ask anyone at UW and they'll tell you how to find it. They're "Official Mac Certified", but I don't believe they sell hard drives. I bought my MacBook there and they did a RAM upgrade for me and so far it works well.
The CHIP (Computer Help Information Place) is on the 1st floor (basement) of the Math building at UW. You may have to be a Math student to use them, and if you're not under warranty they may charge you, but I had a problem with my keyboard shortly after buying my MacBook and went there and they fixed it for me. They have really short hours, though, so if you have a day job, this is probably not the best option.

If i download my photos into iPhoto does that use up more hard drive space?

If I download my photos into iPhoto does that use up more hard drive space on my mac?

iPhoto and Lightroom are similar apps - although LR is a far more capable app - and that the price it should be, of course. But the two apps are similar in that they both offer
Photo Management
Non-Destructive Processing
So, essentially, they both play the same part in the workflow.
The procedure would be to
Download the images from the camera into the Photo Manager (regardless of which one you choose)
Review and select in the Manager
Trash the unwanted with the Manager
Process the images - that is, in most cases edit them.
It is at this point - and only this point - that Photoshop might come into play. Both of these apps can act as a 'front-end' for Photoshop - after all, they're the Managers. But in truth, if you're using Lightroom then you very likely do not need Photoshop at all, and for anything that does require layers you can use one of the many - much less expensive - alternatives. But I think the common experience is that with Lightroom (like Aperture) the requirement for the sledgehammer that is Photoshop really fades away.
So pick one horse and ride it. Choose between LR and iPhoto. Use it like it's intended. Don't get involved in other necessary apps. Don't review before bringing the photo into the manager - that's what the manager is for.

Installing Windows to external hard drive or using parallels?

Will installing Windows on external hard drive protect mac from viruses better than parallels? Which option is more sound, installing windows on external hard drive or using parallels? My main concern is mac protection. Thanks

Hi,
Thank's for your reply.
Using Parallels and creating a virtual machine, I think it should be possible installing Windows to an external hard drive, shouldn't it?

More hard drive space on iPod than Computer, Help!

I have more hard drive space on my iPod than I do on my computer (I have a very old computer). Is there any possible way that I could transfer songs and videos onto my iPod and then be able to delete them from my computer, in order to make more space for new songs and videos?
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you.

Yes, you can do this.
With the iPod docked, you to preferences in iTunes and set the iPod to be updated manually. That way, it won't remove anything on the iPod unless you tell it to.
Then load as many CDs/Tunes/videos as you can onto your computer and manually copy them to the iPod. When done, you can delete those items without affecting the iPod and thus free up the space for the next load. Repeat as often as necessary.
If you left the iPod set to automatically update, each time you deleted the tunes from the PC, it would delete them from the iPod.
One thing you need to consider though is that if your music is only on the iPod, you'll loose everything if the iPod has a problem that either requires it to be replaced or reinitialized. This doesn't happen often, but it could happn. You should therefore ensure you've got a backup copy of everything (ie, the original CDs or that you burn copies of everything before you delete them.

I just got my MacBook Pro a month ago. However I am realizing I need more hard drive space due to aps and programs. I use am external but am concerned about the space. Is there a way to upgrade my hard drive from apple and keep my warranty valid?

That would depend on whether your model actually has a hard drive. If you have the new 2013 Retina model, then you have a fixed storage device built-in that cannot be modified after purchase.

Creating more hard drive space?

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out a way to get rid of stuff to increase my hard drive space. Right now I can't afford an external drive, but I bought some flash drives. I removed a bunch of Photoshop files, but it only came to about 1 GB (I currently have about 15 GB available, and I've been told more GB available can help it perform better).
Any suggestions? For instance, do I have OS9 that I can delete? Any help would be appreciated, or maybe a link to an article.
Thank you,
Allan

In order to create enough extra space for the computer system and applications to
run more efficiently, you will have to be looking into music and photo kinds of files,
where many dozens of images or music titles add up tremendously; and then choose
to save them to CD media or copy their correct files from the computer to external
drive devices. However, the USB speed in older iMac G4 is USB1.1 so that may take
quite a bit of time to get them copied over. An externally enclosed FireWire400 HDD
would be much better in speed and efficiency, to move and archive your work files.
{And when you think you've gotten the correct files you want copied, be sure they are;
because that's when you would have to erase or trash, and empty trash the originals.}
The idea to thin out the size of unused System excess, as suggested in the earlier reply,
is a good one, for gaining back the capacity used by a full install of OS X. Be sure to
remove only those items which do not affect the computer's OS function. Extra languages
and old copies of apps you don't use, some kinds of duplicate fonts (be careful there), etc.
There are utilities such as What Size, which may help to tell what kinds of content, the file
size and locations in the system; & figure out what is safer to remove, among the contents.
Not sure what Omni Sweeper or other tools do, I've heard about them but use an external
hard disk drive (have a few, USB and FW) enclosed in suitable drive housing for OS X use.
So, I usually get around some situations by other means; as part of a maintenance routine.
Good luck & happy computing!

How do I get more hard drive space for my Macbook Pro?

I am losing hard drive space and I don't know why? Is something writing or copying on my Macbook Pro?
Thank you...

The Hatter..This may be helpful information. I go to force suit and there is both Safari and "Safari web content not responding in red" and this may
be the problem. I delete files and I get up to 50 to 50 MB and then it goes right back down to zero with no use on my part. I made a mistake by
viewing **** on a CHatterbate site and I think that this may be the problem. How do I get rid of this virus, if that is what is happening> I ran Clam X and
it did not find anything...Thank you, again.

Can I install windows on another hard drive?

So, I just purchased a 1TB hard drive and was wondering if I could install windows on to the new hard drive and leave my mac hard drive (128GB) just OS X. Is there any way to do this through Boot Camp?

Installing Windows on an external drive is not supported.
Neither of MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013) - Technical Specifications or MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2013) - Technical Specifications have a built-in Optical drive, so you will need to use a USB2 disk, Bootcamp Assistant and a Windows ISO to create a USB installer and install it on the internal disk.
Please start at How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support.

Regular kernel panics, most noticeable with Flash usage. I suspect it has to do with RAM, hard drive space, or overheating.

Hi, would massively appreciate it if anyone would be able to point me in the direction of what's causing fairly regular kernel panics and general poor performance of my 2007 Macbook. Running 2gb Ram, hard drive space is running low (90% full), but seems to operate fine until I hit flash videos, when it stutters, stalls, and, if I push it too far, crashes. Is it directly related to hard drive space? Here's the log:

Need more hard drive space. Help with install WD My Book Studio 1TB EHD.

My MacBook Pro has no more disk space. I'm not tech savy so I'm hesitant to install Western Digital My Book Studio 1TB purchased. I read somewhere not to install the smartware that comes with this external drive because it might cause problems when running Time Machine. I want to move my photos on to EHD to free up space and start up Time Machine. Is there anything I should do first before attempting this. I have not upgraded to Lion yet should I do this after freeing up space and setting up Time Machine. I'm wondering if it will ask me questions during process that I won't be sure to accept or not. I'd appreciate any help or tips.

Do not install any software from WD. Prep the drive as follows:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Installing Windows on 3TB hard drive in Lion

I have attempted to follow the instructions set forth by twocanoes.com (http://www.twocanoes.com/support/winclone/installing-windows-via-boot-camp-on-a- large-%282.2-tb-or-larger-%29-drive-in-lion-%2810.7%29-and-later). I just purchased my new 27" iMac with a 3 TB HDD. Well as I already now know, that is the root of the problem. And apparently for some reason Boot Camp will not work on 3TB mac. But I encountered a secondary issue when attempting to use the work around that twocanoes had found. When attempting to create a 3rd partion (creating 3 1TB partions as told to do so by the instruction) I am only able to make 1 partion. I only have the option to remove it. I cannot add a 2nd partion to make my 3 equal partions. Can someone please direct me to a resolution to create my third partion.
From what I have already looked up it is an issue relating to Lion. Any help would be appreciated. Suggestions, link, anything!

You are right.
As you have said that you can't make more than two partitions, are you sure that you order an iMac with a 3 TB hard drive and not an iMac with a 3 TB Fusion Drive? I say this because a 3 TB Fusion Drive doesn't allow you to create more than two partitions.

What would be easier to add more hard drive space?

Hi, I have an iMac G4, 1.07 GHz powerpc, 1.25 GB ram and a 40GB hard drive. I would like to have more space and saw 120-300 GB hard drives on Other World Computing and wonder if it something I could do myself (I installed the Ram upgrade myself) or would an external hard drive be better?
I want this for iTunes mostly so I can get an iPod touch for shows and podcasts. Thanks in advance for any help.

Geek Squad is definitely an option? But unless you just absolutely do not know you way around a screw driver and no longer have any dexterity then I would suggest doing it your self. It's really not as hard as you think, it just looks overwhelming.
Just make sure that you get the correct guide from iFixit, get all the tools that they specify, take your time and don't pry... You'll be fine.
If you are pressed for time and do not feel at all comfortable using tools then yeah take it someone to have them do it for you.
If you decide to perform this on your own just report here during the process and we'll be here to assist you with what we can.
