Can't create filesystem on disc -

I'm trying to format disks to ext4 and reiserFS but after creating new partition table it fails.
cfdisking /dev/sdb
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!
lsof | grep sdb1
echoes nothing
/dev/disk/by-uuid/ has nothing about sdb
but /dev/disk/by-id/ and /dev/disk/by-path has links to sdb partitions
Please give me advice...
I'm a udev noob with quite bad english.

Errm... I don't understand the exact issue behind the failure, but I would suggest trying this out via GParted as well? I have performed very many complicated disk operations through GParted, and it has never failed me.

How can I create an installation disc?

The matter is that the beginning disc of my mcbook air is always sending the message that is almost full. I need to delete some information on it to make a partition for windows with bootcamp.

You'll need to free up space by moving data to an external drive and deleting it on the internal drive, or just deleting it. This FAQ will give you some ideas.

Can't create the recovery discs for Toshiba Satellite C55-A5387 Laptop

Hello, I just got my Toshiba Satellite with Windows 8 and have barely used it. One of the first things I did was go to the TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator to make recovery discs but I get error messages when burning the DVDs.
Toward the end of burning the DVD I see this:
"Failed to read the following file.
D:\ZZimages\ZZimages\install25.swm
(error Code: 02014F-20-0000000)"
Or this slightly different error messages:
"Failed to read the following file.
D:\ZZimages\ZZimages\install16.swm
(error Code: 02014F-20-0000000)"
Lost
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If the problem is the recovery partition on your hard drive instead of the DVD's you will have to call Tech support 1-800-457-7777 , Call while you still have 90 days free tech support.
Post your findings, thanks!

Hi:
If the HP Recovery Manager came installed with your other programs, there should be an option to create recovery disks.
If you don't have this program, then you may be able to order a set of recovery disks from HP for your notebook.
Call HP Technical Support for the country you live in at the link below. If they have a separate number for business PC's/notebooks, call that number.
Inform the customer services rep you need to order a set of quick restore disks for your notebook.
You will need to provide the model number and serial number.
Costs range from free in the UK, to $10 in the USA, to more than $10 in other countries.

Can not create recovery discs on satellite C875D-S7330

Can not create recovery discs on satellite C875D-S7330. Drive runs and appears to be doing it thing, then aborts saying it has error to check disc for scratch or dust on media. Error code: OEO1B5-26-2AO3OC 00 . Tried 3 new discs all same results. Tried a 4th disc trying to continue on with disc 2 of recovery discs, got another error on this one. Error code: 020150-20-00000000.
Anyone have a fix for this? Had this machine less than 24hrs.
Thanks
Don B.

Personally, I would get a 16gig USB thumb drive and put your recovery on it. It eliminates having to swap disks during recovery and it's easy to store. I've used mine several times and it's worked perfectly every time.

Hi BGreg,
The disc WAS injected when I first discovered that. It doesn't sto garageband (maybe other apps too) from reading & opening the files.

But this changes same problem occur 'please install battery' pls help.........

I don't know that the recovery disks can be created in safe mode. There will be certain software components that are disabled in safe mode that may impact how the program functions.
Have you tried to create disk 3 in normal mode again? It could have been a one off event that caused the first write of disk 3 to fail. Alternatively, you can contact HP to see what options are available of getting a set sent to you.

You'll need to call HP @ 1-800-474-6836 (US) to get a set of HP Recovery Media. You can only receive a free set or troubleshooting so long as you're still within the warranty period.

Can I create a Bootable LION install disc from my laptop?

Basically, I should have done this when I got the laptop. I have a macbook pro with OSX 10.7.5 on it (this must have upgraded from 10.7.3). It did not ship with a OSX install DVD as did my previous units. I never made a recovery disc. Lion is no longer in app store. I do not wish to upgrade just yet.
Is there a way to create a disc with just the OS on it? A Bootable disc I could do a fresh install from? A disc that would essentially make the machine look like a new from the factory unit. I dont want to do a full restore disc, in case there is any malware lurking I am unaware of. Also, I have installed lots of stuff I no longer use and could certainly live without. If the need arises (this is a precautuinary measure) I would like to be able to just wipe the machine clean back to a fresh OSX 10.7 Lion only install, and reinstall only what I want.
Is it possible to create such a disc with only the existing laptop, as Apple had pulled Lion from App Store? What would be my options if I had a HDD failure and were desparate?
Thanks,
Rich

Cloning your hard drive is the easiest way to deal with it. Carbon Copy Cloner is it.
Creating a custom boot volume from the invisible boot partition is harder.

How can I create a system backup in Solaris 10?

Hello,
sorry about my English.
I need to create a image of entire disk or a system backup. I think use "ufsdump" but I'm not sure. Can I create a backup of whole disk with "ufsdump" command? Are there any application to do it.?
I've got a Solaris 10.
Thank.
Alejandro.

If you want to create an image of the entire disk, then `dd' is an option. But you can also use ufsdump to create an image of a filesystem running on that disk, but you need to do that for every filesystem on the disk and please keep a copy of you vtoc for the future if you need to restore everything.
On the other hand you make me thing about someone who wants to clone machines and then a Flash Archive can also be an option. Please keep in mind to ask the question in the future instead of conformation of your answer ;-)

How can I create a new partition to install Windows 7 by not using Bootcamp

How can I create a new partition to install Windows 7 by not using Bootcamp?

If you want to dualboot you have to use boot camp i think. I think you have already a full disc and cannot make another partition I'm I right?
Your question seems a bit blurry so I'm giving you a general tip here.
If you want to just try the beta you can always use Sun's "Virtualbox".

How can I create a new DAD?

HI,
I'm just starting on oracle 10g XE and i want to know how can i create a dad to access a procedure I create in a new user.
Let me explain better...
After the instalation the only user created was the user HR.
Now I have created the user RICARDO and I want to access the procedure TEST.
like this: http://127.0.0.1:8080/pls/RICARDO/TEST
Is that possible or i have to install the iAS?

Well, you could install an Apache http server as a proxy to XE and define a virtual directory mapping there (pointing to c:\temp).
See these threads for details:
Re: Existing http server
HTTPS with Oracle XE ?
Re: How to get X-Forwarded-For value?
Or you could use store the files using WebDav in the database and reference it there.
Oracle Application Express included in XE does that. They have moved the files of a standalone version from the filesystem to the database:

How can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it?

how can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it? It came without DVD installer, and I want to make a copy of it's OS installer but can't find out how.

You need to have the disc in order to create disk image of snow leopard installer disc. What did your machine ship with? If something later than SL, then why? If earlier, then you can buy the SL installer disc and make the disk image.

How can I get system recovery discs (mailed and/or burned from laptop)?

I have a family member who is in another state and has a Toshiba C855D-S5100. It is just under 1yr old and is having some issues booting up. She got it from Best Buy and took it to them yesterday. They are currently running a full diagnostic scan and will let us know what the problem is sometime today (virus, bad drive, bad memory, etc.).
In the meantime, it made me think that we may want to create some recovery discs (if we can). I did this with an older Gateway. It required 4 DVDs. Can this be done with this model? If so, how as it has Windows 8 and I am not real familiar with this operating system just yet.
If the test comes back and says the hard drive is the issue, the unit will be sent to Toshiba for repair (since there is 2 weeks left on warranty). In addition to trying to create some recovery discs, can we maybe somehow order the actual recovery discs from Toshiba directly (& keep for future purposes if the hard drive fails and gets replaced)? If so, how and where do we go to get these Toshiba recovery discs sent to us?

The full Specifications for that machine are HERE.
See the User's Guide starting on page 55 for instructions on "Creating Recovery Media" yourself.
You can order Recovery Media from HERE. (Scroll down).
