Can't ReMount BootCamp Disk

I had been running Vista fine on a dedicated internal HD, but when I tried to re-partition it using BootCamp assistant, it immediately unmounted from Desktop and now I cannot access it or get it back via Disk Utility altho shows up dimmed in Disk Utility.
Any ideas? Can I try reinstalling Vista OS without losing already installed programs and data? TIA

Depends on your G5...
certain machines require a minimum OS level to boot.
Example, my quad g5 will not boot off the retail tiger install cd or any other cd will a lower rev of OSX.
you might need an updated version of the cd/norton software.

Can I use the Disk Utility Application to backup bootcamp windows 7?

Can I use the Disk Utility Application to backup Bootcamp that has Windows 7 on it? If I install a new blank drive, I would like to know that using Time Machine I can get the MAC OS back and using the Disk Image Utility I can restore Bootcamp with Windows 7.

NO.
You have to use Windows or a Windows utility.
There are programs that will clone an entire drive (sector) as well.
DU does not though. Paragon does support Boot Camp.

I dont have my leopard disk, where can i find bootcamp drivers for vista?

i just bought a used macbook pro. the man i bought it from didnt have his leopard disk. i installed vista 32 last night succesfuly but none of the features work because i dont have the leopard disk to download the oppropriate drivers. does anybody know where i can download the bootcamp drivers for vista 32 without having to buy the leopard disk?

i just bought a used macbook pro. the man i bought it from didnt have his leopard disk.
Hopefully, he gave you a $130 discount off the price, since you're going to have to buy a new Leopard disk. You should never have a machine without a system disk for it, since you'd be unable to recover without one if something went wrong. I don't know if you'll need it for those bootcamp drivers, but you will need it sooner or later.
(Technically, what he did is illegal... if he didn't give you the disk, he should not have given you a machine with the system installed. You're also in a bad legal position, by using a system that you do not own a copy of.)

Partition errors - "Disk Utility can't repair this disk"

I partitioned my external 1TB WD HD into two drives (950GB + 50GB) using Disk Utility (OS X Mavericks 10.9.1). However the 950GB partition will no longer mount. It is recognised in Disk Utility, but grayed out. "Verify Disk" and "Repair Disk" in Disk Utility lead to the worrying error message "Disk Utility can't repair this disk."
From the Disk Utility logs, the initial partition was successful:
Partition 1:
Name: “Media Centre”
Size: 948.13 GB
File system: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Do not erase contents
Partition 2:
Name: “Media Centre 2”
Size: 50.03 GB
File system: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Do not erase contents
Mounting disk
Partition complete
Afterwards, I changed the name of the second partition “Media Centre 2” to "BOOTCAMP" (I was going to try to install Windows 7), but then changed my mind and tried to remove the second partition. At that point the log gives the error "Mount of “Media Centre” failed".
Partition 1 ("Media Centre") now seems to be in limbo, stuck as 950GB, and "Verify Disk" and "Repair Disk" in Disk Utility lead to the worrying error message "Disk Utility can't repair this disk". Also in Disk Utility, Partition 1 ("Media Centre") now has the format classification "Mac OS Extended" rather than "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".
Any idea how I can get my hard drive to mount and get the data back?

In Disk Utility select the Top most entry on the left, the drive model and or manufacturer name and size entry, then click the Partition tab and Repartition it to your liking. If that fails the drive is bad.

Can i install bootcamp on mac mini snow leopard server 2010

hello,there are 2 harddisks on a mac mini server 2010 (snow leopard server.)i want to use the other hdd for installing Windows home server 2011 x64 .
but there is no bootcamp on the server.(do i have to download it?)
how can i do this,or do i have to use parallels desktop.
i have also a mac mini and a macbook pro and an alienware and a clevo laptop so i want the 2 servers seperate(and the mac-server on all the time)

You would need to install SL (non sever) on you Mac Mini Server.
You may be able to install the nonsever version on your 2nd HDD
-Partition you 2nd HDD to the max BootCamp Partition
-Install Windows Home Server on the BootCamp Partition (don't know of Windows Server is supported)
So you would have:
hdd1 - SnowLeopard Server
hdd2 - SnowLeopard (non-server) + Bootcamp Partition
Scenario 2:
If you don't have a need for SL Server SW, then wipe out the system and put only the regular SL (non sever) on disk 1. Partition Disk2 for Bootcamp only.
hdd1- SL (non-sever)
hdd2 - Bootcamp
I really don't know if you can copy the Bootcamp app onto SL Server OS to create a Bootcamp partition.

Coumputer Shutdowned During Bootcamp Disk Partitioning

Hello All. I have a major problem here, hope for solution ASAP.
I am installing windows on mac, and suddenly, my macbook pro(mid 2012) had shutdown. When i restarted it, my hardrive is in a partitioned form, but i cannot find my bootcamp drive. So now i left only with 20GB free on my Mac. So how can i recover my other partitioned part?
Thanks

Hey there Ibnu Azmi,
It sounds like your partition information is not correct after your computer unexpectedly quit during a Bootcamp Windows installation. I would use the Disk Utility to help you fix the issue here with the following article:
Disk Utility 12.x: Repair a disk
Print this help page so you can refer to it later. (You don’t have access to Disk Utility Help when you restart up your computer in the next step.)In the Disk Utility Help window, choose Print from the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear).
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done. Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
If Disk Utility reports “overlapped extent allocation” errors, two or more files occupy the same space on your disk, and at least one of them is likely to be corrupted. Check each file in the list of affected files. If you can replace a file or recreate it, delete it. If it contains information you need, open it and examine its data to make sure it hasn’t been corrupted. (Most of the files in the list have aliases in a DamagedFiles folder at the top level of your disk.)
If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Can i install Bootcamp 5 support software on Bootcamp 4?

Can i install the Bootcamp 5 support software on Bootcamp 4 running Windows 8.1 (32-bit) currently? Or is there any way, i can upgrade my Bootcamp 4 to 5 without formatting the hard disk and repartition it again? Thanks for the advice.

Yes, they do. iTunes checks with Apple's servers before starting the installation, and won't allow the installation of a version other than the latest released one compatible with a given device.

How to remove a bootcamp disk

I have tried to eject a disk that I know is in my drive and I've tried everything possible like the eject button, command E, restarting the computer and pressing the keypad. I have identified that what is in my computer is a BootCamp disk and when I restart my computer it appares on the desktop with the option to Eject and when I click eject nothing happens.

There is no specific "Remove Hard Disk" activity in 2.3.1 or the upcoming 2.3.4.
Have you tried the PowerCLI command "Remove-HardDisk"? If that works for you, in 2.3.1 you can use a Windows PowerShell activity to run PowerCLI and execute a simple script that runs this command against the VM. Unfortunately, this requires connecting to vCenter directly (not through the adapter) and you will need to supply credentials.
Or, better, use the "Execute PowerCLI Script" activity in the upcoming 2.3.4 VMware Adapter.. where you can run PowerCLI activities that use your existing VMware vCenter Server target's connection and don't need supply credentials separately.

After call commit sql , data can not flush to disk

I use berkey db which support sql . It's version is db-5.1.19.
1, Open a database.
2. Create a table.
3. exec "begin;" sql
4. exec sql which is insert record into table
5. exec "commit;" sql
6. copy database file (SourceDB_912_1.db and SourceDB_912_1.db-journal) to Local Disk of D, then use a tool of dbsql to open the database.
7. use select sql to check data, there is no record in table.

Hi,
Here is a simple test case program I used based on your description:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "sqlite3.h"
int error_handler(sqlite3*);
int main()
     sqlite3 *m_pDB;
     const char *strDBName = "C:/SRs/OTN Core 2290838 - after call commit sql , data can not flush to disk/SourceDB_912_1.db";
     char * errors;
     sqlite3_open_v2(strDBName, &m_pDB, SQLITE_OPEN_READWRITE | SQLITE_OPEN_CREATE, NULL);
     error_handler(m_pDB);
     sqlite3_exec(m_pDB, "CREATE TABLE [TBLClientAccount] ( [ClientId] CHAR (36), [AccountId] CHAR (36) );", NULL, NULL, &errors);
     error_handler(m_pDB);
     sqlite3_exec(m_pDB, "begin;", NULL, NULL, &errors);
     error_handler(m_pDB);
     sqlite3_exec(m_pDB, "INSERT INTO TBLClientAccount (ClientId,AccountId) VALUES('dd','ddd'); ", NULL, NULL, &errors);
     error_handler(m_pDB);
     sqlite3_exec(m_pDB, "commit;", NULL, NULL, &errors);
     error_handler(m_pDB);
     //sqlite3_close(m_pDB);
     //error_handler(m_pDB);
int error_handler(sqlite3 *db)
     int err_code = sqlite3_errcode(db);
     switch(err_code) {
     case SQLITE_OK:
     case SQLITE_DONE:
     case SQLITE_ROW:
          break;
     default:
          fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: %s. ERRCODE: %d.\n", sqlite3_errmsg(db), err_code);
          exit(err_code);
     return err_code;
}Than I copied the SourceDB_912_1.db database and the SourceDB_912_1.db-journal directory containing the environment files (region files, log files) to D:\, opened the database using the "dbsql" command line tool, and queried the table; the data is there:
D:\bdbsql-dir>ls -al
-rw-rw-rw-   1 acostach 0 32768 2011-10-12 12:51 SourceDB_912_1.db
drw-rw-rw-   2 acostach 0     0 2011-10-12 12:51 SourceDB_912_1.db-journal
D:\bdbsql-dir>C:\BerkeleyDB\db-5.1.19\build_windows\Win32\Debug\dbsql SourceDB_912_1.db
Berkeley DB 11g Release 2, library version 11.2.5.1.19: (August 27, 2010)
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
dbsql> .tables
TBLClientAccount
dbsql> .schema TBLClientAccount
CREATE TABLE [TBLClientAccount] ( [ClientId] CHAR (36), [AccountId] CHAR (36) );
dbsql> select * from TBLClientAccount;
dd|dddI do not see where the issue is. The data can be successfully retrieved, it is present in the database.
Could you try putting in the sqlite3_close() call and see if you still get the error?
Did you remove the __db.* files from the SourceDB_912_1.db-journal directory?
Did you use PRAGMA synchronous, and if so, what is the value you set?
If this is still an issue for you, please describe in more detail the exact steps needed to get this reproduced and provide a simple stand-alone test case program that reproduces it.

Andrei

Hi b,
Have you restarted yet?

Where can I get the disks for a mac mini 2006?

My mini (early 2006) crashed. All I get is the line after line of start up dialogue. I am missing the disks that came with the computer and have no way of booting it. Can anyone suggest a program that will boot the mini and repair it or else where I can get the system disks. I have looked on the Apple site but cannot locate them. Thanks.

Call AppleCare. The number is on http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html

How can I convert m4p's or ACC files to MP3s so I can make a mp3 Disk?

Trying to make a mp3 disk for my Bose Wave system with all my jazz tunes, figured it would be nice to have all the music on one disk instead of multiples. However, the files I have are not mp3 format. How can I make my Jazz playlist songs mp3 format so I can burn it to disk? I have a 20" imac G5 with the latest itunes.
Thanks for your help!
Aaron

If they are Protected AAC's purchased from the iTunes Music Store it is against the Apple Licence to convert them, if you want help ask elsewhere. if they are AAC's imported onto your Mac using iTunes instead, then you can convert them using iTunes by going to preferences and the advanced tab, then choose the importing sub-tab and change the format to MP3 Encoder, then simply select the songs in your Jazz playlist you want to convert and Ctrl Click of them and choose the convert to MP3 option, you will then have MP3's you can put on an MP3 CD. - The only problem is the quality may be noticably worse. As you say you have a Bose Wave System which sounds quite good this may be a problem for you...
The better solution (though unfortunately more expensive ) would be to buy an iPod of some sort and connect that up to the Bose Wave system, I know nothing about your stereo but you can buy an cable which plugs into the top of your ipod for less than £5 ($8-9) to connect up to your stereo either through the phono ports at the back or if it has a special MP3 player input you could connect the iPod up at the front. The iPod would also be able to play any protected AAC's you had downloaded from iTunes too.

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.
