Boot camp partitioned 32 GB for windows, but windows does not recognize it.

Tried today to install Windows XP on the Mac (hard disk = 320 GB) with Boot Camp 2.0.
Started the partitioning and left 20 GB for Windows, Boot Camp asked me to insert the Windows disk and start the installation. The computer started, the (ugly) Windows installation screen appears asking me if i want to install windows, repair windows or quit the installation. I continue with the installation and then it asks me which disk needs to be formatted. I saw only one option (red flag number 1) and moreover, this option stated that the disk mentioned was more than 132 GB (red flag number 2). Ignoring the red flags and quitting the installation, I continued. I formatted the disk and so on. All seemed to be going well. Then the computer restarted but ended up being in a loop (entering the windows installation screens and restarting the computer). It took a while till I figured out how to stop this loop and with the installation disc of Mac OS X I found out with disk utilities that the whole disc had been formatted (oh no!). With disc utilities I managed to format the whole disc again to make it suitable for a clean installation of Mac OS X and corrected the mistake which had been made.
Now - more cautious - having the clean Mac OS X installed I tried it again. This time I let Boot camp create a partition of 32 GB for Windows. Again I put the installation disc of Windows in the Mac and started the installation. Again, however, the Windows installation showed one disc with 132 GB on it. This time I quit the installation leaving it the way it is. The computer restarted and I let it boot into Leopard with the Alt/option key. There I see that Boot Camp seems to have done a good job. The 32 GB disk (MS Dos, FAT32) exists as a partition and there seems nothing to be wrong with it.
Who knows how to solve the problem with Windows which does only recognize one disc of 132 GB? Or who knows why the windows installation recognizes this as such?

This problem is caused by a Windows XP install disc without Service Pack 2.

  • Windows Security Suite does not recognize Verizon Internet Security Suite

    Windows Secuity Suite does not recognize that the Verizon Internet Security suite on one of my PC's is running and keeps popping up aWindows Security Alert. The Firewall is enabled within Verizon Internet Security suite.
    My other PC's don't have this issue.
    All PC's are running Windows Vista Home Premium.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Mark

    well that error message is saying that Windows security center no longer supports the way that the VISS is reporting. Which means that even though VISS is working and it is even reporting its status to WSC. WSC doesnt recognize it anymore. Likely one of the windows updates made the change. I can see the fight comming now. Verizon is going to say. Its working and if the other program doesnt support it, too bad. And windows is going to say the same thing in reverse. My guess would be that it will probably stay that way unless Verizon or Microsoft get enough complaints to make a change in the recognition system.
    But the good news is that VISS is running and protecting you. The WSC just doesnt "speak the same language" anymore and cant understand the message from VISS saying "I'm up and running"

  • Windows Media Player does not recognize new downloaded songs

    I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr:  AY014AA-ABA running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
    I just discovered that Windows Media Player does not recognize songs I recently downloaded from the Wal-Mart Music Download Site.  The songs can be seen in the Music Library in a folder named "Downloads" and I can open each song and it will play when double clicked.  The problem is that I can not create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the playlist because the songs are not listed in the Media Player library no matter hot it is sorted (Artist, Album, Genre, etc).
    Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    You might also want to consider moving the songs to my Music or the folder you have WMP set as your Music folder. You can find/change that folder in WMP by going to File ---> Manage Libraries
    Launch WMP ----> Tools ----> Options --->Privacy and be sure that the Display information from the internet box is checked.

    My new Dell Computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone 5 when connected via USB.  I have reinstalled iTunes to no avail.

    Hey, I may have to if I can't get this one to work!!
    I have tried a different USB to no avail.  Both cables work on my old Dell so I don't believe they are the issue. 
    I uninstalled iTunes as directed by Apple Support and reinstalled.  Apparently, Apple Mobile Device Support is not loading with it because it does not show up in programs.

    Lightroom says that I have the latest version, but Lightroom does not recognize RAW captures from my new Panasonic DMC-GH4. When will an update for this camera be available?

    The GH4 must be very new as it’s not listed in Adobe’s supported cameras, so wait until the next version of LR.  Usually there is one every 3-4 months with a release-candidate available at Adobe Labs before that:  http://labs.adobe.com/

    It sounds like your iPhone is being recognized everywhere but in iTunes. I would use the troubleshooting for that issue in the following article, named:

  • Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) HELP!

    Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) and requires the password to do anything. Everytime I go onto the ICloud  page it shows my old email and requires the password, but I can't exactly type in a password because that won't work. I can't find a way to change my email or delete ICloud.

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • Somehow my calender was erased. How do I restore it? I have time machine. Fortunately it was synched with Outlook, so I still have it there. But Ical does not recognize the Outlook file. Is there a way to restore from Outlook? resi

    Somehow my calendar in iCal was deleted. It was not archived. I have Time Machine. How do I restore? Fortunately it was synched to Outlook, so it is not lost. I would like to out it back in iCal but iCal does not recognize the Outlook file.

    Thank you. It's all back to normal (took around 7 hours on the late 2009 iMac). Time Machine's become better now compared to the last time I used it to migrate everything automatically (Snow Leopard days). With Maverick's Time Machine, it's almost like a cloning (except for the password) tool now. But it's always great to name the account and maybe the hardisk the same names so can just replace a newly installed OS.
    God bless. Thanks again.
