Bootcamp problem with SL partition. need a solution.

Alright so, i bought windows 7 today and deleted my old XP partition on my MBP (early 2008) 17 inch laptop. I started up bootcamp after deleting my old partition (also though BootCamp), but after a few seconds of nothing happening, I got a popup saying "The Disk Partition cannot be partitioned because some files could not be moved. Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
I did some research and googled some things, but most are saying make a clone and fix it like that, but thats very complicated and I don't have the time to do all that now. I deleted some unneeded files and games and am about to retry it. In the case that this does not work, is there a way to do this without cloning my HDD, but still having my files intact? Shouldn't there be a way to do this by repairing disk permissions or something?
I did find this on Macworld - "But thanks to a tip elsewhere, I booted off my Snow Leopard install disk (hold the C key as you boot until the language selection screen appears.) From the Utilities menu on the install screen choose Disk Utility, then Repair Disk." I want to try this, but I never booted off my SL install cd and not sure if it will do anything to the files i have on my computer already. I backed up my files with Time Machine onto my external HD. I want to try that and see if it works. Any help? Thanks everyone!
EDIT: I am also thinking of trying this (which is probably what i found on macworld, just explained) http://pondini.org/TM/14.html

I did a disk verify, says that a file is corrupted and there is an extra file? or something like that. It says to repair from the disk. If i put it in and hold C while it boots up, nothing should be harmed, right? I backed up, but didnt clone (which is what is making me worried).

  • Weird problems with recovery partition

    Hi. I just got a new X1 Carbon a few days ago. When trying to install Ubuntu, I messed up the bootmgr. At that point I still had the option F11 for recovery on startup, but choosing it did not give any results and after a restart, the option was gone. When researching the problem, I found this thread:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technolog​ies/Need-help-with-recovery-partition-create-recov​...
    Since my recovery partition Q was untouched, the steps described in the thread allowed me to restore partitions S and C. So far so good, but now the problems start.
    First, the letters of the partitions get messed up after every reboot. I assign Windows7_OS the letter C, SYSTEM_DRV gets S, and Lenovo_Recovery gets Q. Diskpart then lists the drives with correct letters. But after a reboot, they're back to D,C,E, respectively.
    Then, when I boot the Windows recovery disk from a usb stick, it correctly recognizes that Windows is installed on drive D. It suggests that there are startup problems, which I tell it to fix. After the next reboot, it does not warn me about startup problems. When I then go to command prompt and enter
    bootrec.exe /fixmbr
    bootrec.exe /fixboot
    then the Windows recovery disk commits suicide. It seems to attempt to fix its own bootmgr. At the moment, both usb stick and hard disk run with grub (Windows recovery on a multiboot installed by YUMI). After I run the commands above, the hard disk still runs with grub, but the usb stick now has bootmgr and fails to boot. I have tried this several times, each time recreating the Windows recovery disk with YUMI, and every time the same result.
    F11 option is of course still gone. At this point I'm out of my wits. Any suggestions are welcome.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    In the end I formatted and made a clean install. F11 Option is gone. Recovery partition is still untouched, but I don't think it will be used again. Followed this advice to install a fresh Windows 7 using a usb stick:
    http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-​reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html#post1839164
    Since I did not have access to Windows with administrator rights, I had to use Ubuntu to create the bootable Windows stick:
    http://cloud101.eu/blog/2012/03/24/create-a-window​s-7-live-disk-from-ubuntu-linux/
    The WiFi driver was not included in Windows, so I had to download that in another system, and install manually. From there I could then go online in Windows to download the remaining drivers from Lenovo (after the clean install there's a long list of unrecognized devices).
    Since the laptop comes with 4 primary partitions preinstalled I had to merge the SYSTEM_DRV and the Windows7_OS partition in order to create an additional partition for Ubuntu. Then I installed Ubuntu and took control of the startup behavior using EasyBCD.

  • Can't start laptop - problems with automatic repair, need acces to admin account but there is none. HELP! :(

    Hello,
    I'm having problems with my windows 8 laptop.
    This afternoon I shut it down, and went to work. A few hours later when I came back home I noticed the little blue lights on the keyboard (showing me that the pc was charging and that my wifi is on) were still on. Normally these are off when the pc is turned
    off.
    I tried starting the laptop but nothing happened, the screen stayed black. I held down the 'on' button to force it to turn off, and turned it on again.
    I then got a textmessage on the startup loading screen that there were problems with my C drive (only drive the laptop has), so it went to automatic repair.
    *my laptop's language is set to Dutch so I'm translating everything :)*
    It gave me 2 options:
    1: Restart computer
    2: Advanced options.
    I tried option 1, didnt work ofcourse, it just restarted and I got back to this screen, so I checked what option 2 had to offer.
    I got to a screen with 3 options: 
    1: Continue to windows 8
    2: Solve Problems 
    3: Shut down
    When I tried option 1 the computer just restarted and went back to the same screen.
    When I tried option 3 it shut down as it should.
    Option 2 gave me 3 other options:
    1: Renew PC
    2: Factory reset
    3: advanced options
    Option 1 just restarted my pc and took me back to screen 1.
    Option 2 I havent tried yet, because it erases all of my files. This is a last resort.
    Option 3 gave me 6 other options:
    1: Systemrepair
    2: Repair with installationcopy
    3: Startuprepair
    4: CMD
    5: UEFI firmware settings
    6. Startupsettings.
    I can't use option 1,2,3,4 because I need to log in to an administratoraccount.
    The bad part is: the laptop doesn't have an administratoraccount.
    It was my parents laptop, and theyve set it up. I always assumed the account was an admin because
    I had acces to everything and didn't need a password to run things as admin and such.
    Turns out it isn't.
    I get this message (translated) when I try to acces one of these:
    'You have to log in as administrator to continue, but this pc doesn't have an administratoraccount'.
    I can't believe microsoft added a check to see if the pc has an admin account on it, and even added a specific message to show when it doesn't, but they didnt add the option to just use these tools when there is no admin account present? What were they thinking!
    Option 5 I havent tried yet, when I click it it says I have to restart to acces these settings, but I dont want to mess with something I know nothing about.
    Option 6 gives me a few options like run the pc in safety mode, run windows repair and disable auto-restart after something has gone wrong with windows. But when I select one of these options it doesnt work. It just takes me back to auto repair. It just doesn't
    doe anything.
    There are no other options. Nothing I can do. My pc is stuck like this. The only thing I *might* be able to do is a factory reset, but I havent tried, and that could also just give me an error about me not being admin.
    Some backstory of what I think caused this problem:
    I believe the problems started a week ago, last friday.
    I'm using a program called 'AVG TuneUp'. This program gave me a message telling me it was 3 months since it had checked my C drive for defects or anything. And it asked me if I wanted it to do so. Unknowing of the problems that would follow, I pressed 'ok'
    (or whatever it was). 
    I had to restart my pc for it to begin, because it could only check the drive during startup. It went to 12% and stayed there for like half an hour, after which I decided to google (on my phone) if that was normal. It turned out that that option doesn't work
    well with windows 8 and that lots of people's computers got ruined after using it. I stressed and I tried to shut it down, but since I was still in startup the only thing I could do was force the pc to shut down, so I held down the power button and it shut
    down. I restarted and managed to abort the proces. The laptop started fine and everything worked.
    A few days later a game/program I use called League of Legends started to act weird, because I could not log in on my account (for the game) anymore. Some error with IE settings, which I was unable to fix. For more info about that go to http://boards.eune.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/help-support-en/8Eoz315J-cant-log-in-to-lol-and-cant-log-in-to-steam-either-weird-coincidence.
    Although I doubt it will help. 
    That forum post also contains a link to a post I made on the Steam forum about not being able to log into steam anymore. (Steam is another program I used). I wasn't able to log into steam anymore about 1-2 days after I wasn't able to log into LoL.
    Also at the same time my Norton sortof stopped working. It showed up as active in my task manager and AVG TuneUp program manager, but it wasn't in my task bar and I couldnt acces the control panel.
    Then yesterday I checked my pc for errors with AVG TuneUp's 1-click maintenance tool, and it told me my C drive was fragmented badly, so I defragmented it using the tool. Laptop still worked fine after that.
    And then today I got the error on startup about my C drive having errors.
    Long story shot: Problem is probably caused because I stopped the repair of my C drive with the avg tuneup tool before it was done, however its weird that I'm only experiencing (big) problems a week after that happened.

    CPU: intel 3230M @ 2.60 gHz

    But I don't really understand what the answering person is saying, and my laptop doesn't have a CD drive..
    I really, REALLY hope someone can help me with this, because my laptop is basically 100% 'destroyed'.
    Kind regards,

    Hello,
    Perhaps the operating system is incorrectly powering down or shifting the wireless adapter to a low power state in order to improve run time while on battery?
    Try going into the Device Manager (filename: DEVMGMT.MSC), locate the wireless adapter under the Network Adapters tree, view its Properties, and on the Power Management tab, disable (un-check) the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option.
    Please let us know if that makes any difference (or not).
    Regards,

  • Printing problem with Photoshop cs4, need help

    I'm using PS CS4, with a Canon Pixma iP4200 and Mac os 10.6.2.  I CAN print from other programs such as TextEdit or Pages.  And my printer prints a test page without any problems.  However, when I try to print something from PhotoShop, the printer dialogue box opens, I see the image in the preview and the page rolls through my printer...without anything on it.  Does anybody know the reason for this??  Thank you for your help. 

    I haven't heard of anyone else with those specific symptoms.
    But another poster has had problems with his Canon 9900 not printing (but no blank page).
    The first thing to do is make sure you are using the Canon drivers and not the GutenPrint/GimpPrint drivers.
    After that, you probably need to check with Canon.

  • Problems with Plan Change - Needs Immediate Result

    Hello,
    I have been a long time Verizon Wireless customer.  I have two lines, one of which was assigned to a tablet with a 1gb plan.  I maintained this line for the upgrade since my other line has unlimited data.  I recently upgraded to the Note 3, and in the process was told that I'd have to establish a new line to accomplish the upgrade.  The representative, from Costco, let me know that it shouldn't be a problem transferring the same plan to the newly established line and not to worry about anything going wrong.  That night I called Verizon for the first time and worked with a customer service representative who ended up making the problem worse by canceling the tablet line before transferringthe device to the new line.  This caused a problem with my sim card, and I have to request a new one because my old was was constantly showing an "aging" status.  Even a few days later.  The first night consisted of two phone calls to Verizon because the rep mentioned above ended up disconnecting me trying to get over to tech support.  The second rep was much more helpful, but wasn't able to do anything and let me know I'd have to work with tech support, but should wait until the next day to allow the sim to "age."
    The next day was the 4th of July, so I called back the next day and went through a similar process, spent about 30 minutes with one rep, only to be told my sim was still "ageing" and to talk to tech support.  Every time I was connected with tech support it was a minimum 30 minute wait, just to be told that there was nothing they could do, again, and they sent me a new sim card.  When i received that sim, at which point it was the following week, I called back and activated my tablet successfully.  Hung the phone up and thought all was well, until I saw my balance due the next day.  It was nearly double what I usually pay.  The representative never informed me that it would default to a prorated amount based on that payment, of 4gb.  None of which I need.  I called back, again, and was told that I wasn't able to use the old plan I had since it didn't exist anymore.  This time the representative was very pleasant, and let me know she'd put a request in to see if the old plan would be possible, given my situation.  I was alright with that, and this was the first time I wasn't frustrated after hanging up the phone.
    She called me back yesterday letting me know that Verizon isn't willing to allow me to use my old plan, and that there is a new plan options, that is 10 dollars a month.  Honestly that was all right, so I called in today to change it to that plan and have it backdated to the date of upgrade to fix my billing issue.  During the process of looking up my information, the representative I spoke with today disconnected me.  Over the last week and a half I have spent nearly 3-4 hours on the phone with Verizon just trying to fix this issue that was not anything I could have controlled.
    The rep at Costco told me I'd have no issues transferring my lien to the new line we opened that day, and the first individual I spoke with on the phone canceled the line too early and further delayed the process by requiring me to request a new SIM card for the tablet.  After being disconnected this time, I'm extremely frustrated with the entire situation and Verizon in general.  I've been a customer of Verizon for nearly ten years, and for the fist time I am considering moving to another carrier seeing.  In that ten year period, I have probably called into customer service less than 5 times.  And in the last week and a half I have made more calls, and spent far more time on the phone than every before.
    The bottom line is, I need to have the plan changed on my tablet line to something comparable to what I had previously, which was a 20 dollar, 1gb plan with the 10 dollar tablet fee.  I need this taken care of ASAP and I need to know it's being done correctly.  If Verizon is going to partner with companies like Costco to provide phones to members, and increase their customer base, than these reps need to be better equipped to handle the upgrade process.  And it seems that the call centers I have spoken with are a 50/50 shot in terms of reaching someone who is able to do their job effectively and in a timely fashion.
    I hope to be contacted with a resolution by today or I will be returning the phone, and looking elsewhere for my wireless needs.
    Thank you.
    Josh

    There is an "undocumented" parameter you need to include in your
    page. It MUST be a hidden field value called "p_action". The
    form hidden value is either "OK" or "CANCEL" (case sensitive).
    Thus, when the form is submitted, this parameter states to
    commit the changes. Useful if you have a "Save" button and
    a "Cancel" button.

  • A familiar problem with a not so simple solution

    Hey all, I'm having a problem with my phone and I was hoping that someone could help me out. Now, this is a problem which I know has been posted on these boards before, but I was unable to find a solution in the threads that I've seen.
    The problem is concerning my podcasts, I'm receiving the "Not transferred because they cannot be played on this iPhone" message, this is happening for a few of my podcasts. The podcasts that are causing the problem are designed for the iPhone and downloaded through iTunes. I've tried several methods to "fix" these podcasts, including not having them in a playlist, and right-click and creating an iPhone version (then sync it as a movie - still won't work).
    I can sync most episodes of the podcasts that are having this problem, it's only a handful that don't work (though the number is steadily climbing). I'm not sure what else I can try. If anyone can help me with this, I'd be very grateful.

    what is the podcast? let me know and i'll try it on my iPhone, any maybe a few other users would be so kind as to try it out for you, too.

  • Problem with replicated partitioning between two BSO db's. version 9.3.0.1

    Hi there,
    I have a problem with partitioning between two BSO db’s.
    I created the partition, it validates and I made an export for the partion definiton(xml file).
    Everything is fine if I set this partition up as transparent partition.
    This means I can see the data from the src in the trg db as ecpected.
    But when I change over to replicated (what in fact I want to do) nothing happens for the trg site - there are still no data. (Yes I have choosen Update all cells.)
    I got no error in any way neither AAS nor in the app logs of src and trg.
    (Mayby this it important: one src-dimension is mapped to void for the trg.)
    Can anyone give me a hint or even confirm this behaviour ?
    Thank you in advance
    Andre

    It sounds like you are doing it all correctly. One thing you might try just to be sure you are not getting any data in the target database is the following:
    1) clear the target database
    2) Run the replication for all cells
    3) Run an export of all data on the target database
    See if you get anything in the export file, maybe you are getting some of the data or possibly it is a rollup issue. Just a thought.

    I'm suspecting the cause of that could be update of "filesystem" where "mtab" where with conflict during updating.
    As far as I remember I cleaned up it or even removed (probably the stupidest thing I've made for some time ;]). Several restarts later I noticed problems with /home/userDIR.
    In the way of trying to repair that I've copied (especially /proc, /sys etc. mount points) and changed "mtab" from my second Arch installation but nothing helps.
    I can manually mount /home, /boot and then they appears

    It seems a little suspicious that /, /tmp, /boot and /home are all *exactly* the same size and have *exactly* the same ratio of used to available bytes? Or do you expect that?
    Do you have dump installed?
    As far as I know /proc /sys etc. are recreated on reboot so you shouldn't need to copy them. mtab should be a symlink. Is it? If so, where does it point?
    When you say you can manually mount them, how exactly? Does e.g. just mount /home work? Or do you have to use another command?

  • Huge problems with wireless, would need some help

    Sorry for the bad topic, and sorry for my english.
    And now the problem.
    I have just bought my first laptop, and got almost everything to play nice in arch, except the wireless.
    My card is a Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (iwl3945), and i have a Dlink 524 router (abg).
    Using WAP, but can change this if its help.
    Right now I'am using NetworkManager (0.6.5-3 from rep) and KNetworkManager (from AUR), and it works very very bad.
    It can't connect at startup (or atleast it doesn't...), it takes several attempts to get a connection, it drops the connection and dont reconnect when it does, and so on. Its almost unusable and force me to use wired a connection just to be sure to be able to write this.
    After what i read in different forums and mailinglists, there seems to be a lot of problems with wireless at the moment?
    Anyone got this combination to work fine? Or are there any other way of configuration i should try? Suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

    I've had a lot of problems with wireless networking for several weeks recently, ever since I upgraded vanilla kernel26 from v.2.6.22 to v.2.6.23 (see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=40145).  I'm using the Windows driver bcmwl5 for the Broadcom 4311 chipset via Ndiswrapper, and I'm using WPA-PSK (TKIP) encryption.  I also use a D-Link DI-524 router.  What finally cured the problem was to install the new wicd (v.1.3.1) network manager which is now in extra and to set up all networking interfaces in that GUI, abandoning using Arch network profiles and all the detailed setup in /etc/rc.conf.
    My /etc/rc.conf now only contains (I'm only showing entries pertinent to networking)
    MODULES=(ndiswrapper capability sg acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_performance cpufreq_powersave)
    HOSTNAME="RFDellLT"
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @nfslock @nfsd @netfs @crond !network hal cpufreq portmap wicd sshd cups alsa @openntpd privoxy)
    i.e. no more INTERFACES, not even "lo", gateway, ROUTES, NET_Profiles.  Everything is set up through wicd.  You only need to put the wicd daemon in the DAEMONS array (after hal which also loads dbus), and the network daemon isn't needed anymore.  Also you should uninstall any other networkmanager.
    To put the wicd icon in the system tray, create a shell script (give it any name) in the .kde/Autostart/ directory in your home directory (if you use KDE, otherwise do the equivalent thing for any other DE/WM) that contains the command /usr/lib/wicd/tray.py.
    You may want to try wicd, perhaps it'll fix your problem.  It certainly has gotten good press in this forum.

  • Problems with MSN Messenger - need quick help

    I posted yesterday that I was having some trouble with my Ameritrade stock trading account, it was a java issue and they had me delete the cache in java and my Ameritrade worked again.
    Now this morning I'm having problems with MS messenger which I use all day long for my job. When I try to sign in it keeps telling me it can't sign me in and I must not be connected to the internet. Which I am.
    Its got some thing to do with my airport wireless thingy. Is there some way to "open" that up. When I unplug it and then replug it back in I can sign in to MS messenger for about a minute but then it somehow blocks it.
    It keeps me on the internet but I get a message that I an not connected to .NET Messenger service. It is blocking me on my laptop PC now too. And it behaves the same way. After unplugging the airport I get a quick window where I can sign in but after that it blocks that .NET messenger service.
    Is there some way I can open up the airport so I can get on the NET messenger service. Skype and iChat work but I can't use either for my job.
    Does anyone have any suggestions (I'm begging here cuz i start work at 9:30 am and I need it working by then!).
    Thanks, Susan

    Wow this is a mess, I want to add that again i'm sure its the airport extreme somehow. However on my PC laptop I can sign into messenger with an older version of it but when i try the new LIVE messenger it won't let me sign in.
    The iMac version forces you to use the latest version so I can't use an older "non live" version to sign in with. I am praying someone can help me figure out what is wrong.
    Thanks sorry for reposting but i'm frantic!

  • Problems with some fonts, need help!

    Hi everyone,
    Recently I need to create some documents in Pages and I found some problems with some of the fonts. Apparently some fonts when the font size is increased the spacing between characters gets reduced and ooks very weird.
    http://img109.imageshack.us/i/screencapturem.png/
    I've tried all type of configs in pages and i'm really clueless what this is.
    Can anyone please give me some pointers?
    Thank you in advanced,

    This leaves several files instaled. Among them are the preferences files. If you re-install with existing preferences files, these one aren't replaced by new, clean, ones.
    Right, uninstalling the application does not necessarily uninstall its preferences. (Indeed, previous InDesign and QuarkXPress betas had the problem that they preserved the older preferences when the newer betas were installed which could lead to crashes.)
    Arguably, system software has to have smart install / uninstall so that all the files installed by an application are removed, but then what about fonts and / or profiles installed with the application, which some other application may be using as a resource.
    I don't know, but the word 'simple' and the word 'software' don't seem ever to be synonyms .

  • Having major problem with deployed installer needing DLLs that I don't seem to use in the application

    I'm a bit confounded on the library situations...I'm not using an RT target...
    though
    when running the deployed executable/installer.... upon start it asks
    for these 2 dlls:  lvuste.dll & lvalarms.dll. which seem to be related to RT  ????  how do I get
    around this?  How would I include these dlls within an executable or installer?
     I'm using 8.5.

    It looks like this was a problem with the way Timed loops link directly to those 2 DLLs.  Does the error ask for those DLLs in a specific folder?  If so you can copy them from their current location (which I believe should be <labview>\resource folder) to the folder that it wants them to be in.  Alternately you can simply remove the timed loops, since timed loops on a Windows PC doesn't really have much benefit over a while loop with a timer.
    Hope this helps...
