What is the maximum partition size for windows on 128GB MBA?

I want to use Windows 7 as my primary OS on my 128GB MBA. How big can I make my windows partition? Is there anything special I need to do?

You have two options.
1. Put OSX on an external drive - OS X: Installing OS X on an external volume - Apple Support and make your internal disk to be fully Windows.
2. Use minimal OSX size between 16-32G, and the remainder for Windows.

  • What is the maximum file size for CSV that Excel can open ? (Excel 2013 64bit)

    Hello,
    Before anyone jumps in, I am not talking about the maximum worksheet size of 1048576 rows by 16384 columns.
    I have  client whom has a 1.5 Gb CSV file, 1.9, 2.6, 5, 17 and 89 Gb file (Huge).
    If I open the 1.5 Gb, the file opens (After waiting 5 minutes) and then a warning pops up that only the first 1048576 rows have loaded. That is fair enough.
    If I try and open any of the others, Excel comes up to a blank worksheet. No errors. It just seems to ignore the file I tried to open. This happens from within Excel (File - open) or from double clicking the file in explorer.
    Excel goes to this blank page almost imeadiatly. It does not even try to open the file.
    If I try with Ms Access, I get a size warning and it refuses to load the file. (At least I get a warning)
    I would have expected Excel to load at least the first 1048576 rows  (If that is what there are in the file), and give an error.
    The computer is more than capable (Xeon processors, 16 Gb ram, SSD hard disks top of the line HP Z820 power workstation).
    With the 1.5 Gb file loaded to 1048576 rows, it uses 15% ram/pagefile. CPU's hit about 5%.
    I have confirmed it is Win 7 64bit, Excel 64bit. I am fairly confident we are over the file size but without an error message, I don't know what to tell my client whom is looking to me for answers.
    I have already discussed that the 89gb file in Excel is unreasonable and they are looking at a stat's package but I need an answer on these smaller files.
    Anyone got any ides ?

    Hi,
    The 1,048,576 rows & 16,384 columns is the
    workbook size limitation in Excel 2013. Thus, I recommend we try the Mr. Bernie's suggestions to import the large CSV file.
    1. Use VBA to read the file line by line and split/examine the import file in sections. If you have further question about the VBA, please post your question to the MSDN forum for Excel
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
    2. Use Excel 2013 add-ins. Power Pivot and Power Query. For more detailed information, please see the below articles:

  • What is the maximum file size for Pages?

    Hi,
    What is the maximum number of pages and maximum file size that I can have for Pages document?
    Thank you.

    chessmagnet,
    As a practicality in a large document it pays to break it up into sections in different documents with the numbering carrying on from the last one.
    Assemble the final document at the end when you need to create a T.O.C. and any hyperlinks.
    Several users have reported being unable to save very large files and other problems.
    It is a good safety measure anyway and as Yvan says it will work faster.

  • What is the maximum HDD size for Pavilion DV7-3105ea and can I add a 2nd HDD.

    Hi,
    Please could someone advise me as to the maximum HDD size that can be installed in a Pavilion DV7-3105ea.
    Additionally is it possible to add a second HDD.
    Thanks and kind regards,
    jB

    There is no theoretical limit the only limit is what is sold on the market. Any correctly sized SATA laptop drive will work. They do now make 1TB drives that will fit and yes there is a secondary hard drive bay so theoretically you could have 2TB of storage. You are going to need 1 or 2 drives like this:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152291
    The drive has to be 9.5 mm in height some 1TB laptop drives are too thick.
    You also likely need a second hard drive caddy/connector like this:
    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=222&zenid=2a83d0d222d80c6...
    And here is a link to the Manual showing how to get to the hard drive bay:
    Drive Manual
    Check your system to see if a secondary drive caddy/connector is there but it likely is not and you need the part linked above. Good luck.

  • 6230i - What's the maximum attachment size for EMa...

    Hi
    I got my new 6230i (Firmware 3.40 on T-Mobile) yesterday and have just set up my email on it and discovered that you can attach files to emails. Only problem seems to be that it says my attachments exceed the limit. That's a bit unfortunate as I've tried to attach only one image (~350kB) which I took with the built in camera.
    Anyone know what the maximum size allowed for an attachment is and is there a way around it?
    Thanks
    Thomas

    We are talking about 6230i (and not 6630).
    In 6230i case, the max. size is limited:
    Sending: 100kB
    Receiving: 50kB
    This is limited by the phone (and not network or email provider).Message Edited by embedded_system on 19-May-2006

  • Appropriate partition size for windows 7?

    i just bought windows 7 and want to install it on my mac pro that i recently bought. i was wondering what's an appropriate partition size for windows 7 and if it matters whether i install the 32 bit or the 64 bit? i'm mainly using it for a game (league of legends) if that makes an difference. thank you for your time.
    -Nikko

    If you have more than 4GB of RAM or are planning on some time in the future to install more than 4GB of RAM use the 64 bit version. The 32 bit version can not address more than 4GB. Windows programs are now 64 bit. Your computer is 64 bit. 64 bit Windows runs 32 bit Windows programs. So there is no reason to install 32 bit Windows.
    Windows 7 requires a lot of space. Then you need space for any data you create. I think that at a minimum you need 50GB plus data. I would opt for larger rather than smaller so the minimum I would partition is 100GB. If you conserve space now by making a small partition it is likely you will fill up that space quickly. You'll then wish you had made a larger partition initially. Search this forum, there are several questions on how to make a Boot Camp partition larger.

  • What is the maximum file size Flash Catalyst beta 2 can import?

    I have designed the webpage in Illustrator cs2 and tried to import to Flash Catalyst beta 2 (FC), however it does not respond to me at all. I think maybe my AI file size is too big. Therefore I reduced my AI file down to 1 page only and now FC has no problem importing my file. I would like to know what is the maximum file size that FC beta 2 can import? thanks

    In beta1 I believe the max size was 15megs, I am not 100% for Beta2 but I doubt they would have changed the amount.
    I created an online menu for a fake restraunt for fun, the file was quite large with the high-res photos in it. How I got the whole file into Catalyst from Photoshop is I removed the large background images and then imported them individually into the Catalyst project.
    Hope that helped

  • DPS(pdf): What is the maximum zoom-factor for the iPad

    Hi,
    What is the maximum zoom-factor for the iPad?
    Regards,
    Anil Yadav

    I'm sorry -- I have not communicated my question well.   When I use full
    page mode (no window borders, Ctrl-L) and zoom to many thousands %, then
    entire screen (14000 pixels by 1200 pixels) is not used -- only about 9000
    pixels x 1200 pixels.   The entire screen should have document content
    because I'm extremely zoomed in.  There is no meaning to pixels/inch in
    this context (and I tried your suggestion -- it made no difference).   This
    seems to be a hard limitation of Adobe Reader X screen display...?
    Thanks,

    Hey guys,
    I found out an answer by myself...
    The missing link : the MacBook Pro needs to be powered... as in you need to plug the charger in...
    In conclusion, you simply plug everything, turn on the MacBook Pro, close the lid, and there you go !

    they have to format it to make it mac "compatible", for a lack of better terms.  I don't know what they would do.
