Can i partition my mbp into three parts?

I already have my MacHD drive, the recovery drive, and a boot camp drive running windows. I want to partition a small amount and run centos linux on it. Is it possible? can i use bootcamp? Also, does anyone know if i need linux support drivers much like when doing boot camp and needing windows support drivers?

Boot Camp Assistant is for Windows. My recommendation is to use a VM like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox to install Linux.

  • Can I partition to boot into 2 versions of OSX? 10.3.9 AND latest Leopard?

    Here's what I'd like to do - I have a Powerbook G4 12" 1.33 and I want to get the latest version of OS X Leopard but also need to run Panther 10.3.9 too so with all this talk of bootcamp and the like for running win XP from a separate partition I wondered is it possible to do the same with 2 versions of OZ X?
    I don't mind having to start from scratch and reinstall everything - I'll have the install disks for both versions.

    ElGlasso:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Yes, it is possible. Whether it is advisable or not depends on the size of your HDD. If your HDD is not very big you are likely to end up with partitions that are too small to be practical. So please post back with your HDD size. An option would be to install one of the larger HDDs, something between 100 GB to 160 GB or even 250 GB.
    In any case, the answer is yes, it is possible.
    Post back with the information requested, then I can give you complete step-by-step directions for partitioning etc.

  • Can I partition a LUN into 2 and create 2 diskgroups

    Hi everyone.
    I have a LUN that I want to share the space across 2 ASM diskgroups.
    The LUN is from an EMC SNA and presented using multipathing, and appears as device emcpowera
    Normally, I would create a single diskgroup per LUN, but in this case, is there any reason why I cant do the following?
    1. fdisk /dev/emcpowera and create 2 equal size partions
    2. oracleasm createdisk DG_DATA1 /dev/emcpowera1
    3. oracleasm createdisk DG_DATA2 /dev/emcpowera2
    4. Create diskgroups on each of DG_DATA1 and DG_DATA2 ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    While 2 diskgroups (one for DATA and one for FRA) is best practices from Oracle:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/asm-10gr2-bestpractices.pdf
    I personally would not go with only one LUN per diskgroup.
    2 reasons:
    -> It is best practice that all LUNs in a diskgroup should be approximately the same size, since ASM will automatically re balance the diskgroup based on a percentage for filling.
    And if you need to increase the space it is more difficult to increase a lun online (since some processes might not be accepting the change without a reboot), than to simply add another one.
    Now if you take one big LUN and need space (and choose not to increase the volume) you should add a LUN with the same size... resulting in maybe waisting a lot of space, just for a few megabytes needed additionally.
    So I vote for using more (around 4) LUNs just to be more flexible in increasing the space.
    -> Second reason are the I/O characteristica of the OS. Sometimes it is easier for an OS to handle the I/O if there are multiple LUNs than just one.
    PS: It is totally o.k. to leave the mirroring to the storage system (if no other special requirements, like host based mirroring are needed) and use extarnal redundancy.
    Just my 2 cents...

  • How do I chop my iMovie into three separate parts?

    How do I chop my iMovie into three parts?

    To split a fully edited movie into three parts -
    While in Project Library view (where all your projects are listed), right-click or Control-click on your project. From the pop-up menu, select Duplicate Project. Do this 3 times so that you have 4 identical projects - the original (for safe-keeping) plus 3 copies.
    If desired, rename each of the duplicates, such as My Movie Pt 1, My Movie Pt 2 and My Movie Pt 3 (or whatever you like). Even without renaming, iMovie will ascribe a number to each duplicate, while including the name of the original movie.
    Now delete sections from each duplicate so that you end up with 3 separate movies, each with their own content.
    Note that duplicating projects doesn't take up much extra drive space. Projects simply reference (point to) the actual video clips in the associated Event (as well as keeping track of any added transitions, titles, music, effects and so forth).

  • Want to separate Portal into 2 part in one Server (1 for Dev,1 for testing)

    Hi.
    We have 1 server for Portal development (Oracle Portal 9.0.2.0.1 R2).
    The spec is
    -SunFire280R.
    -2 Gig Memory
    -2 Processor
    We install everything in one server (portal,database,iAS)
    The Problem is, we also have to use the Server for Testing and Production.
    So,how can we separate the Server into two Part, one for Portal Development,
    one for Portal testing & Production?
    Currently,mostly we use 2 port
    1)port 7777, for Login Page/ChangePssword/SingleSignOff (in infs)
    2)port 7778,for portal home,our portlets (in apps).
    How can we make it to be duplicated in One Server only?
    Thanks.

    ... another question would be why not upgrade those old Forms & Reports to the newest release 10.1.2.0.2 and use the latest Application Server to run them with?
    Release 6i and 1.0.2.2 is as you know desupported.

  • One album split into three

    Some of my cds are broken up into pieces. It split Lady Gaga's The Fame into three parts, and the Fame Monster into three parts. I try to drag them together, and it doesn't work. The cd info is exactly the same. There is absolutely no reason for them to be separate, yet they are. Why is it being so dumb? I seriously want to throw my computer at the wall.

  • Dividing string into specific parts

    Hi, I am trying to write a program that will convert a domain name into a Java package name, for instance forum.java.sun would be sun.java.forum.
    I have the scanner class search for the periods, but all that does is find the index of the periods for me. Is there a way to divide the domain name into three parts? If so, would I have to store them in three seperate variables and then used the reverse() function to switch them around?
    Thanks.

  • After a PRAM reset my MBP 1,1 display is split into 4 parts each displaying the same image. What is causing this and how can I fix it?

    After resetting the PRAM/NVRAM (control, option, P, R) on my Macbook Pro 1,1 (2007) running 10.6.8 The screen is now split into 4 parts, each displaying the same thing. The screen immediately appears this way at the first grey screen, however if I do another NVRAM reset, upon restart after the second startup chime, the screen is normal but once it gets to a certain point around thetime the cog stops spinning, the screen flickers, turns blue and splits into four again.
    Another thing is when I tried using the Apple Hardware Test I couldn't read the instructions as the resolution was too small, but once I restarted and change my display resolution in System Preferences, the resolution was readable in AHT. I assumed the System Settings were loading when the OS had booted and that AHT runs without any of these settings (if that makes sense?)
    I've not used any third party utilites and everything working fine except for some battery issues which are gone now (the reason I tried the PRAM reset)
    Any help would be much appreciated

  • Can I partition an external drive into MSDO and MACOS extended and use under bootcamp ?

    I am interested in using Windows 8 alongside my OSX MAVERICK with the Bootcamp 5 solution.
    However, I am trying to save the space on my internal SSD . Can I partition my 4TB WD external drive into 3 parts like this :
    1.5 TB dedicated for Time Machine in MAC OS Extended Format
    1,5 TB MAC for general purpose in MAC OS Extended Format
    1.0 TB Windows for my PC games and other stuff in exFAT for files larger than 4GB
    Is this possible at all or what would be better ?
    Thanks

    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Open Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

  • Bought photoshop elements 11 last year for windows and using it in my desktop. The desktop is crashed now and not usable. So I bought iMac now. Is it possible to trade over or change the licence into iMac version for a small fee. If not , can I partition

    bought photoshop elements 11 last year for windows and using it in my desktop. The desktop is crashed now and not usable. So I bought iMac now. Is it possible to trade over or change the licence into iMac version for a small fee. If not , can I partition the hard drive of iMac and install windows and also photoshop elements? which is the best alternative ? why?

    A Photoshop Elements license is good for both Mac and Windows so it should be just a matter of downloading the Mac version and using your current serial number to activate it.

    Go to the Project Library View and select your project.
    Then FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 1".
    Then duplicate it again and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 2"
    Now you can open "part 1" as a project and delete everything that is in part 2.
    Open "part 2" as a project and delete everything that is in part 1.

  • Can a partition be reversed/undone?

    I have an external hard drive backup disk that is/was partitioned into two parts. I wanted to increase the size of volume 1 and in doing so erased volume 2.
    I did this in Disk Utility by trying to resize volume 2 (I changed the value for the volume size in the dialogue box). Nothing in the warnings seemed to indicate that this volume would be erased - but it is!! I would REALLY like to undo this and recover the data but it doesn't seem I can. Given that the operation took only a number of secs, I can't imagine that it's been physically erased.
    Does anyone know how to undo this action or how otherwise to recover the data?
    (I should note that volume 1 is formatted for Time machine, whereas volume 2 is/was formatted for Windows (FAT32 I think))

    Provided you do nothing more with the drive, the information should still be recoverable with third party software. I haven't got it to hand at the moment, but I suspect DiskWarrior may be able to help.
    You can't resize a partition without erasing it in Disk Utility. There are some third party apps which can do this however. (*Drive Genius* I think is one)

  • Can't partition my internal SSD drive

    Hello,
    After some trouble with mail drop, my mac has frozen, i forced the restart but it could not boot on my drive anymore.
    I started in recovery mode and tried to repair with the last backup but the drive could not be unmounted.
    I unmounted the drive with diskutil in command line using the force option.
    Since then, I can't partition/erase my internal SSD drive anymore, i have tried all format but i always get this error (in french) : "Le balayage des données du volume afin d'empêcher de futures recherches accidentelles a échoué".
    How can i erase and partition this drive in order to reinstall Yosemite ?
    Thanks in advance
    My configuration :
    MacBook Pro 13 pouces
    Processeur 2,7GHz Intel Core i7
    OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

    Anyway Right click on the Network connection
    Did that -- I get a window with three tabs, General, Exceptions, Advanced. Exceptions has a long list, which includes Bonjour, which is checked. But I don't see any list of Bonjour Advertised Services and nothing about CD.DVD anywhere I've looked.
    Next possible step??? (I really appreciate all the effort you're putting into this!)
    , iirc, then shoe UpnP.Bonjour stuff, opens the Firewall & supposedly shows "Advertised" services, then you'd Mount the Mavs CD.DVD if it works!

  • Split one song file into 3 parts?

    I have a Damien Rice song (Eskimo) that is 3 songs with lots of silence between them all in one track. Is there any way to split the song/file into 3 parts/tracks so that I can have the 3 pieces as separate tracks?
    thanks for any suggestions.

    Yes. In the full-length file set the stop and start times, by right-clicking on the track and then "Get Info" > "Options." Then "OK." Then right click on the track and select "Convert Selection to XX" and it will create a new shorter file in your preferred import format.
    Do this three times to get the 3 short versions that you want.

  • Can't partition

    I'm trying to partition my harddrive. i've got 150 gigs and 75 of it is used. i try to partition the harddrive into two one with 25 gigs and after a while, it says not enough space. i've tried 10, 20 and 25 gigs and i don't want to go further. what's wrong? i go to disk utility and click on the harddrive then partition, add a new drive and hit apply

    You can partition a disk "on the fly" with Leopard. But if the disk has been near full, there may be files scattered over the drive so there isn't enough contiguous space to make a new partition.
    See #3 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Using Snow Leopard+ forum).
    If that's the case, you can use a 3rd-party utility, such as iPartiton, to rearrange things; or you can restore your system from your backups to get everything moved to the fastest part of the drive.
