[SOLVED] Install arch on a partition and still access files on other

Basicaly what i want to achieve is to have a dual boot system on my laptop where i can access the files in some sort of shared storage or just to be able to access my windows files when im booted up in arch is there a way to achieve this?

Yes you can, you could have a partition for each OS, and then you could have a third partition for your shared files (I think it would have to be ntfs for the shared partition)
Or you could just mount the windows partition from arch.

  • Can I move 2TB internal HD from old mac to new mac and still access files

    I just upgraded to a new Mac Pro, we have an old G5 Ma Pro thats getting retired. In the old G5 we have an internal 2TB WD drive with all of our customer art files.
    Can I simply pull the HD from the G5 and stick it in the new Intel machine and have access to all of the files and documents on the new machine?

    Yes.
    But I would clone / backup / off load all the files (2x to be safe) and then reformat the drive to new GPT format.
    Your G5 PowerMac and Mac Pro carry different names, a Mac Pro is Intel-only.
    So I'd pick up at least another 2TB WD Black as a minimum, or maybe you already have backups of those files already.
    Your old system of course isn't compatible and should not be installed until reformatted; clean install and update everything, and you will be "stuck" with 10.6.6 as the minimum build (hopefully most things are compatible now).

  • Install Arch Linux with UEFI and GPT

    Hi, I purchased a new laptop and I created a partition with Windows 8 (default OS on laptop) and another partition where I want to install Arch Linux.
    When I tried to install Arch Linux not boot from CD. After searching in Google I downloaded the latest Arch Linux ISO (2012-12-01) and tried again.
    This time CD started without problems but when I used cfdisk showed an error with GPT partition. I went back to search in Google and I read about gdisk and gfdisk and I try it but when I partitioning to install Arch Linux partition show that may cause damage. I searched and searched without success and I wonder if there is a Arch Linux GPT install guide or if someone knows how to install Arch Linux with GPT and a Windows 8 partition in UEFI.
    Thanks and regards.

    Hi again, finally I got "install" Arch Linux but when I reboot the follow message appears:
    "No Booteable Device, Hit any key."
    I don't know if I broke Windows Boot Manager, UEFI or both...
    I tried to reinstall GRUB but was unsuccessful.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks and regards.

  • ITunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install.  Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2.  Any Thoughts?

    iTunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install.  Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2.  Any Thoughts?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
    If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

  • Can I back up the organizer, move my photos and still access them in PSE?

    I backed up my catalog to an external HD last night and there were about 20 disconnected files.  I was not able to locate them so I allowed the back up to continue without them.  Do you know what the consequences are for that?
    Also, several of my photos are on my C drive and several are on the external HD.  My catalog included photos from both places. When I move the rest of my photos from the C drive of my computer to the external HD will the catalog still be able to access them or will I need to back everything up again?
    My goal is to free up space on my computer so PSE will stop freezing up.  All I'm intersted in doing right now is getting all of my photos into the organizer and tagged.  I'll edit them later as I begin to create digital scrapbook pages.
    Can someone tell me if the way I'm going about this is correct? 
    Thank you,

    Thank you Ken.  I backed up everything to my external HD, but now I think I'd rather just move everything there and recall my photos from the ext HD to free up space on my C drive.  Is that possible?

    When you use PSE to back up your catalog, the actual photos as well as the catalog (database) are backed up. When you restore from a backup, you can specify where the incoming photos will be placed. Ken

  • Best way to free up hard drive and still access pics

    My 7 years worth of pics have filled up my hard drive.  What is the best way to use TC (if it can be used for that) to free up my hard drive and still access the pics?  If i also used an external HD plugged into the TC would that show up in my finder?  Thanks in advance

    The TC is a lousy place to locate your photos.. the simple reason is there is no backup.. The whole reason for the TC is a backup.. if you move the picture to the TC there is no automatic backup without setting up software and another device as backup location. So you may as well either.
    1. Put a bigger hard disk in the Mac
    2. Plug in a USB or Firewire drive into your Mac
    3. Get a proper NAS which does auto backup
    4. USB drive connected to the TC will work but is by far the slowest option. The data rate is half that of the same drive connected directly to your computer.
    5. Get a computer as a server into which you can place or attach a heap of hard drives.

  • MY old camera was a 60D with 7.1 raw format  and the new one is 6D. How do I get a plug in that will allow me to use both cameras in raw, and still access my old raw 7.1  files ? I am using Elements 11,

    using Elements 11, can I get a plug in that supports both cameras, and still access my old raw 7.1 files

    A new plug-in will support all the older cameras, so a plug-in that supports the newer 6D will also support the older 60D.
    The 60D needs at least ACR 6.2.
    The 6D needs at least ACR 7.3.
    PSE11 ships with ACR 7.1 but can be updated all the way up to ACR 8.0.
    What happens when you do a Help / Updates in the PSE Editor application?

  • Our website was set up 10 years ago with Macromedia Dreamweaver.  Can I download up to date Adobe Dreamweaver and still access and make changes?  I do not have the old software

    Anyone can help answer this?   Thank you,

    Most web site files can be edited using a simple text editor.  It is not clear to me what you are looking for when you ask if you can download up to date Adobe Dreamweaver and still access and make changes.   You certainly can, but you need to purchase the software to do so if you mean you want the latest versions.
    The most current version is available thru a subscription basis.

    Just adding to what CSound has said.
    Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
    Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
    So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
    If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.
