Can i move a boot volume (to a partition on another HD)?

i have a boot install of windows xp and windows 7 on two separate HD's in my mac pro and i would like to consolidate these (along with my primary mac OS) onto one single drive.
can i migrate these somehow to a new partitioned drive?
TIA

Doing google search of "windows on multiple partitions in os x" yields some hits on this like,
Successful setup: OS X Lion + Bootcamp Win7 + Data Partition
Better search "os x windows and lion on same drive".
For triple booting search "triple boot windows in os x".

  • How can I view the boot volume permissions?

    How can I view the boot volume permissions in the Terminal and/or Single User Mode?
    I have tried: 'ls -l /Volumes' but this appears to only work for the non-boot volumes. I can test this by 'sudo chmod 777 /' followed by 'ls -l /Volumes' but the change is not reflected by the new list.

    I prefer to have my bootable volumes as follows:
    drwxrwxr-x
    I see no point in allowing others to write to / and sticky here often gets in my way. Can you see anything wrong with this?
    I couldn't say, as I let Mac OS X do what it wants with the / root directory. I don't know how sticky can hurt, as you need to have elavated privs to do anything in root anyway.
    But if it is working for you, have fun. Just make a note to yourself somewhere that you have made this change, so that if something stops working, you can take this change into consideration. And if this change does not cause problems, but does something useful for you, you can use the note to remind yourself that you need to re-make the change when installing a new system. So take notes on your changes. It will make your life easier in the future.

  • Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    You move the song files to /Users/Shared/ and then into iTunes from the other Mac OS X user account.
    If you want to change the iTunes Store account associated with them, you need to redownload them from that account.

    Open picture B, the one you wish to select the hair from to add to the picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the hair. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the hair to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position the hair from picture B.
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and the hair (B) on a separate layer.

  • How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process?

    How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process? The source Macbook (OS 10.4.11 and iPhoto 6.0.6 (3.2.2.)) is with my husband in Germany, the target MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.5, iPhoto 11) is with me in Japan. Thanks for your help.

    I copied the iPhoto Library to a CD and from there to the new MacBook
    If you copied the library to the CD via the Finder it would be no different than the methods Terence suggested.  If you used the Share ➙ Burn menu option from inside iDVD you'll get a mini library that has to be accessed from the open library and the events/alubums copied into the destination library.  Not the same as the other methods.
    The Share ➙ Burn method is no longer supported with iPhoto 9 and later.

  • Can i move iWeb site control from one computer to another?

    We hired someone to create a website for our company. He created it using iWeb on his computer and now is no longer with the company. How can I move the control of this website to the iWeb application on my computer so that I can manage the site?

    Yes.  All you need to do is copy the Domain.sites file that's located in the your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on his Mac to the same folder on your Mac.
    Also be sure to keep an ongoing backup copy of that file on a volume other than your Mac, i.e. an external HD, a flash drive, etc.  You lose it and you'll have to rebuild the site from scratch.
    If you're hosting your website on MobileMe be aware that MMe will be discontinued on June 30th of this year. With that in mind this may be of interest to you: Life After MobileMe.

  • Can I move all data from time machine backup to another external drive & work from it?

    Hi all, the harddrive on my macbook died (2nd time in a year) & I had a new one put in that's much smaller than the old one.  Can I move everything from my time machine backup onto a seperate external drive and work directly from that on my laptop/imac?  At the mo. I don't think time machine will recognise my computer as it's a new drive etc.  Thanks Jenny.

    What exactly do you want to do?
    Is it that you wish to extract an older version of some documents to edit, but leave the original intact?
    You can Restore an older version from TM and choose not to replace the current one.
    Or, do you wish to install the OS on your new drive, and migrate all the information from the TM backup to the new isntallation?
    EDIT: Ok, re-reading your question, I think macjack probably has the right idea.
    However, see Pondini's Time Machine FAQ # 16

  • How can I move a task from a Summary Task to another Summary Task in the same task list?

    Hey, I tried to move tasks through the SP UI from one Summary Task to other in the same task list, but I didn't find possibility for it.
    Then I spent time to learn the SP Client Object Model and now I can read tasks form the list. I see every task has a "FileRef" and a "FileDirRef" field. If I think right these fields show the relation between list elements for example between
    a Task and a Summary Task elements.
    I changed these fields' values and I tried to Update the ListItem but I got this error message: "Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only."
    I really need to move tasks what were created below a wrong Summary Task so please explain a method or pattern how I can do this. (I can create a new Task below to any Summary Task and I can set field values but I hope there is a way to really move tasks (I
    mean I should change the right field values somehow.).
    I can reach the Task List both on the server and client side so I'm very interested in every solution. PowerShell solution is also good for me.
    I'm using SharePoint 2010 SP2.
    Thank you for your answer and your time. :)

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to move a task from one summary task to another in the same task list.
    We can do it like this:
    We can create a Gantt View for this task list, then copy your tasks inside a summary task, then navigate back to the other summary and paste, then go back to original and delete.
    Here is another way for your reference:

  • How can I move my iTunes library from one Mac to another?

    I recently purchased a new 13" MacBook Air to replace my older 17" MacBook Pro. 
    How can I move my iTunes library to my new MBA? 
    I also plan on purchasing a new iPhone in the next month or so.  Can I move my songs from my iPod to that too?

    Easy. Copy it from the old Mac to the new one.
    There are a variety of techniques including Setup Assistant (as soon as you get your new MacBook Air, it will ask you if you want to transfer information from another computer), Migration Assistant (if you elect to transfer information later), enabling file sharing between the two computers, or copying your music to a flash drive or other storage device followed by importing it to iTunes.
    iTunes: How to move your music from one computer to another
    Once your music library and everything else you want to transfer from the MacBook Pro resides on the new MBA, sync your iPod to the MBA. Sync the iPhone too when you get it, and they will both have identical iTunes music libraries.

  • Can I move my itunes collection from one computer to another?

    Can I move an internal hard drive which has my itunes library (music transferred from my cd collection as well as music purchased from itunes) from one computer to another?  The second computer already has itunes on it but no sopied music from cd's.

    Yes, you can move the hard drive physically from one machine to another provided you are placing it as a secondary drive in the new machine. You can connect to the transferred library by holding down shift as you start iTunes, then browsing to the relevant folder and opening the iTunes Library.itl file inside. You may however want to reorgnize the drive if you're disposing of the old machine as its system files etc. will be redunant. In this case I suggest you move the iTunes folder to the root of the drive before you connect to the library. You should also deauthorise the old machine before you dismantle it.
    Ideally you should take a backup of your library before you start just in case something goes wrong. See this User Tip.for a suggested technique. Works with external drive or network shares.
