Cannot see correct partition for Vista

Trying to install Vista Ultimate 64 bit on a mac pro (2008) on it's own hard drive. Questions- when I installed the new drive the machine doesn't recognize it and asks me if I wanted to initialize this. Rightly or wrongly I skipped this, went to boot camp assistant, selected the newly installed hard drive and indicated that I want to create a single partition for windows, then it asked me for the windows OS,I started the install. When it came to the point where I needed to select the correct partition for windows, the correct selection according the instructions disk0partition3 bootcamp didn't show up as an option and I cancelled the install. Where did I go wrong?
Thanks

I recommend that you view the files on your windows 8 system to verify that they are good. That will atleast stop the sweating.
A few things could be wrong with the vista system.
1) The correct fonts may not be installed or are corrupted
2) The video card driver needs updating
3) The preference file for illustrator is corrupted try restarting illustrator while holding down ctrl-alt-shift or command-option-shift (former=windows latter=mac)
4) Illustrator needs updating
5) Time to upgrade from Vista (If your system can support it, it may be wise to do so anyway, since MS is not supporting it either)

  • Cannot see files burned with Vista

    I have a similar problem with CD's created with Vista, but if the preferences are set correctly in Vista, compatible CD's and DVD's can be created.

    Understanding the difference between the Live File System and Mastered disc formats
    If you have burned CDs using Windows XP, you are already familiar with the Mastered format. The latest version of Windows offers a new format, called Live File System. Discs that use the Live File System format are often more convenient because you can copy selected files immediately and as often as you want, as if the disc were a floppy disc or USB flash drive. On the other hand, Live File System discs can’t be used in all computers and devices. Use this guide to understand the difference between Live File System and Mastered discs:
    Discs formatted with the Live File System option:
    • Work like a USB flash drive or floppy disk, meaning you can copy files to disc immediately without having to burn them.
    • Are convenient if you want to keep a disc in the burn drive and copy files whenever the need arises.
    • Are only compatible with Windows XP and later versions of Windows.
    Discs formatted with the Mastered option:
    • Don’t copy files immediately, meaning you need to select the entire collection of files that you want to copy to the disc, and then burn them all at once.
    • Are convenient if you want to burn a large collection of files, such as a music CD.
    • Are compatible with older computers and devices such as CD players and DVD players
    Why are there different versions of the Live File System format?
    Each version of the Live File System format is compatible with different operating systems. Depending on which computers you plan to use a disc in, you might need to select a different version of Live File System. If you plan to use your disc on the latest version of Windows, however, you will never need to change the version of Live File System you use. If you need to make discs that are compatible with earlier versions of Windows, use the table below to select the right Live File System version for your needs:
    The following table describes Live File System versions and their appropriate uses.
    Live File System version Best for
    1.02
    This format can be read on Windows 98 as well as many Apple computers. You should use this version if you need to format DVD-RAM or MO (Magneto-optical) discs.
    1.5
    This format is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. It might not be compatible with Windows 98 or Apple computers.
    2.01
    This format is compatible with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. It might not compatible with Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Apple computers.
    2.5
    This format is designed for the latest version of Windows and might not be compatible with earlier versions of Windows.

  • Cannot see Time Capsule for backup but internet perfect A

    I've seen other posts about time capsule problems and most talk about wireless dropout and loss of internet connectivity. My situation is almost the reverse:
    Full airport strength in menu bar. Full access to internet sites on at least one computer. Cannot see Time Capsule via Airport Utility or in Finder on any computer. Time Machine backups fail (marked as Delayed in menu bar item).
    If I reboot (via unplugging) the Time Capsule, it shows up again in Airport Utility and backups are successful. This has happened three times now. I think the first time was prior to upgrading the firmware. The second two times were after the Time Capsule firmware upgrade. In the second two instances, it looks like the backups run for about 12-13 hours, every hour. No problems. Then, they drop out. Yesterday, it ran from 8:30 AM until 9 PM.
    I've got two Macs (a Powerbook G4 and a MacBook Pro), each running latest software updates (security, 10.5.2, etc.).
    Unplugging (rebooting) my Time Capsule each day is not an option. That's partly why I moved from an ancient LinkSys router that always needed to be rebooted since we lost local and internet access. Any help is much appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Drew

    Have you set up the TC with user accounts??
    Most people just use the TC password..
    I have done very little with user accounts on the TC.. it seems fundamentally wrong headed to me.. If you have a domain controller with everyone using accounts to login that is fine.. and the TC would then exist in connection to the domain controller.. but it is a home device and there is no function to all that.
    What will happen if you change over to standard security or even turn on the guest account I am too scared to suggest as you may not easily get connection back again.. The TC certainly displays a warning going to accounts.. I am not sure of warnings going away from accounts.
    If you didn't setup the TC, do you have admin access to it??
    Perhaps I am assuming too much before you tell me everything. But I may suggest things you don't want to try.. unfortunately I cannot say this will work.. the issue is widespread across the Mountain Lion TC combo and I have yet to see Apple suggest a solution or even fess up there is a problem. Daily reboots are just simply now a part of the scene for all windows and Mac users.
    Is the TC the main router for the network.. 1 hour is not default lease in the TC and very few people even know how to change it.. standard is 1day. I would consider 1hr adequately short for all arp tables to be kept up to date.. the computer should be seeking new lease at 30min.. ie half lease time.
    If the TC is bridged an not controlling the network.. that can contribute to the issue.
    Setting a static IP on the TC if it is bridged my help.

  • Clusterware install cannot see raw partitions during ocr/votedisk selection

    I have made 4 extended logical drives from EMC shared storage to be visible from my two nodes on 64bit windows 2003 server. During Clusterware installation while selecting the disks for OCR and Voting file, I cannot see the raw shared volumes.
    The following is the output of cluvfy utility for component shared storage accessibility,
    # runcluvfy.exe comp ssa -n node1,node2
    Verifying shared storage accessibility
    Checking shared storage accessibility...
    Shared storage check failed on nodes "node2,node1".
    Verification of shared storage accessibility was unsuccessful on all the nodes.
    I also get exectask.exe encounter a problem and needed to close meassage aswell.
    [email protected]

    One more important point I noticed is that for RAC on windows 2003 Enterpriser Edition Server 64bit it is must that one should automatically mount the shared disks. For this do the following on command prompt.
    c:\>Diskpart
    Diskpart> automount enable
    This command will automount the shared storage on the server. This should be done manually as it is not enabled on windows environment and it should be done only once.

  • My home screen is gigantic. As a result I cannot see the keypad for entering in my passcode. Somehow, everything on my home screen has expanded to gigantic size. I've tried to reset the phone by holding the home button and the on off button...

    My home screen is gigantic… So much so that 1/200 of the normal screen display now fills up the entire screen. As a result, I cannot even see my keypad to enter in my passcode. I've tried a hard reset a few times (holding the home button and the on off button at the same time until the iPhone restarts). This has not resulted in any changes. Any ideas?

    Thank you Lawrence. that worked! I have another question for you as well. I just got this 6 Plus and it is already saying that I am nearing the end of my storage. My  iCloud is apparently 20gb and I have 6gb left. I'm attaching a screen shot. Any thoughts on how I can make available some more storage?
    I Also wanted to get an enhanced quality Speech voice Alex, but it is saying I don't have enough Memory (I think it says memory because I can't read the message fully). Lastly, in your opinion does Grayscale really improve battery life above and beyond what can be achieved by closing out all apps etc. Thank you.

  • Cannot find correct syntax for paint()

    Hi everyone,
    I am supposed to create an applet that has a textfield component and a button comp. the user is prompted to type in a drawing command press the "go" button and the program executes. here is an exampls of what the text should read like..FD 50, turn SW, BK 50, colour red.
    The FD is forward draw and the BK is backward. my problem is I am not using the correct syntax conventions when creating xnew and ynew coordinates. this might not be the best algorithm either, but with limited examples and resources it was the best I could come up with, any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Maybe I'm being dense but I don't see a question in here anywhere. Unless it the xnew ynew thing. You can't use new to create an int, an Integer object yes, but not int so get rid of the "new"s. Next look at the methods in http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/java/awt/Graphics.html
    And get rid of all of that BufferedReader stuff.
    you applet should have something like:
    TextField commands = new TextField("",20);
    Button btn = new Button("Draw It");
    String cmds = null;
    // add the button and text field to the applet
    // add an action listener for the button
    // in the ActionPerformed method do somthing like
    cmds = commands.getText();
    repaint();
    // in the paint method parse the cmds string and do the drawing via the Graphics class's methods
    That you give a good idea of where to go now.

    hi
    i get answer by search results
    ther is
    Hi!
    The product key on the bottom side of the notebook is an OEM key and belongs to the preinstalled OEM version. That means you can??t use this key with a normal Vista installation disk that you can buy on the internet or from a computer shop.
    If you want to install Vista you should a Toshiba recovery disk or a Microsoft disk with the corresponding product key.
    You can order a Toshiba recovery disk from Toshiba directly:

  • I am having trouble with the handle bars for music fade in and fade out.  It doesn't work.  I also cannot see wave forms for music.   Cannot select - it is grey.  On a deadline and really having problems.

    I am trying to finish a video and I want to fade the music in and out.  I have read every tutorial I can get and the help info in iMovie.  Nothing helsp.   I cannot get it to fade by just sliding the handle bars.   Other times, the music mutes completely when I try to add a fade.   I try to view wave forms for music and it does not allow me to select .   it remains grey.   I am getting frustrated.  I had no problem with 11 version.   I now have 10.0.2 version.   Can anyone help?   my computer is latest Mac Book Pro 2013

    This is described in:
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov3b5ded23e
    A tip though - if you have a transition at the start or end of a clip it often obscures the fade handle.  Trick is to temporarly move the transition (or delete it), move the fade handle then replace the transition.

  • Cannot see Database Views for a new Datasource

    I need to bind some text fields to a Oracle Database View (not a Database Table, I can see them fine).
    If I drill down into the Oracle Datasource, I don't see any of the required views.
    Although the schema I am using do not own these views, I have a public synonym set up for the view. The schema I am using do have access to SELECT on the view.
    Do anyone know if Creator will recognize these Oracle synonyms for the view? Or even better, does creator recognzie tables through Database Links?

  • Cannot see painting cursor for Brush tip in Bridge CC

    The adjustment brush works fine in Bridge but I would like to see the painting cursor. Right now I see the cursor arrow.

    First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to try to help out. It
    is much appreciated.
    The two things that first come to mind are: I have many friends in the
    industry who paint solely in Photoshop and do just fine. My computer is
    technically "old," but the specs are still just fine—even the graphics card
    is the exact same one that is in the new Cintiq Companions (the all-in-one
    computer/cintiq machines).
    And, more so, I was painting on it for a few weeks without noticing
    anything. A part of me wonders, did I just not notice it until it became
    dramatically worse?
    I do remember painting fur, which requires making tons of small brush
    strokes over an extended period of time, and I don't remember there being
    any lag.
    By the way, I forgot to mention: I've even tried going into the Performance
    preferences and disabling the graphics card altogether. No luck. Still an
    issue.
    As far as painting at 100%: I do notice an amount of improvement. The one
    brush stamp, or space, whatever you call it, issue only happened on the
    first brush stroke (every time) and then just once otherwise. The lag was
    tremendous—and I compared it to Painter's performance, which had no issues
    whatsoever.
    I am really hoping to be able to rely on Photoshop more and more, as its
    tools for other aspects of image manipulation are far more robust than
    Painter's. And the working compatibility with Adobe InDesign, Flash, and
    Adobe Media Encoder are sooooooo useful for speeding up the workflow.
    Hopefully we can find out what's going wrong.
    I'm truly baffled on this one.

    Have you checked all your homescreens and app folders for it, and tried searching for it via the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ? There is also a limit of 11 homescreens, after which apps are only accessible via the spotlight search screen. Is it hidden by an app age rating in Settings > General > Restrictions ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ?

    We applied support pack level 21 for SAP_APPL and after the application of it (Still in the correction phase), the tab for Financial Accounting has disapered from SPRO. Has anyone faced a problem like this before?
    Any pointers to the same will be very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Best Regards
    Anirban

    hi Anirban,
    basically it is something with the New G/L funcionality, you should have Financial Accounting (New) anyway, but can you do a authorization check? Right after you press F5 in SPRO, /nsu53 into the command line...
    hope this helps

  • Cannot see iTunes Connect for App Submission

    I remeber last year I had signed up for a free iBooks account to publish my book. Now today I bought the membership for iOS developer programme, but whenever I go to submit my app to the iTunes Connect website, I only see books and not the apps option. Please help...

    Usually it's because you are not connecting to the internet via wifi.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
