Consistent BSOD in Win XP after creating partition

I have a 13" MacBook. I've set it up with OS X 10.6.7 & Windows XP on a Bootcamp partition. I partitioned my OS X HD once again to create space for a OS X 10.7 Developer Preview Installation. Now, when I try to boot up the XP partition, the OS crashed with a BSOD everytime during the bootup animation. When I deleted the Lion partition, the XP loaded perfectly. Basically, the BSOD crops up everytime I partition the main OS X partition. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Aditya Raghuwanshi

Hi,
when adding a partition after Windows installation with BootCamp you change the partitioning structure/numbering on which Windows relys to find its partition.
You have to edit the Windows XP boot.ini file so that it can find its partition again.
Or use a second Mac with BootCamp.

After creating partition, problems start

I use Boot Camp Asst. and create a 32 GB partition. at the end of the process, I'm told to "hit the Restart key or hold the power key for a few seconds." Since i have no restart key on my MacBook, I hold down the power key. Then the system turns off. I turn it on again, and reboot. I get an error - osx shut down unexpectedly, do i want to report to apple. whatever. the space i allocated on the partition is gone from my free space, but if I go into BCA, it doesn't seem to know that i've already created a partition. things are screwy and i have to reboot from the Leopard disk and use Disk Utility to repair the disk.
So, how do I get around this? I really want to use boot camp.

I have it all fixed (except that the Windows XP system won't completely shut down or restart into any startup volume...I have to hold down the power button until shutdown, then start by pressing the start button).
AppleCare tech, on two different calls, spoke of a bug in OS X (10.5.2) that is causing the partition problem described by me and others in this thread.
The solution (assuming that you don't have a Windows partition yet) is to install OS X (10.5.1). Don't do any software updates to 10.5.1 until you've completed the Windows install using Boot Camp Assistant.
Remember to have backups.
I didn't exactly follow the solution directly. I reinstalled Tiger 10.4.11. Then I installed 10.5.1 as an upgrade. The reason for this is that I was not warned by AppleCare tech that a 10.5.2 install using "erase and install" would delete the entire iLife '06 suite. I lost iLife '06. That's why I reverted to Tiger before attempting the Leopard and Boot Camp installations.

Problem installating Snow Leopard on old Macbook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo. After creating partition on internal hard disk (Extended Journaled), installation starts but stops at half of the progress bar. Screen asking Restart appears.

Hello:
I have tried installing Snow Leopard via the installation disc on a Macbook Pro (2007) with an Intel Core 2 Duo, but I the installation has failed more than 5 times.
I have first formatted and partitioned the internal hard disk with Mac Os Extended Journal format.
Once the installation starts, it starts without a problem unti lthe progress bar gest until half completed then a screen asking for a Computer Restart shows up.
It asks to press the power button for some time until it the computer shuts down and then, press again to turn it on.
Once turned on, the installation disc gets readed, the installation screen appears again and asks again to start the whole installation process form the beginning.

Then you have a Hardware Problem.
Your system is Crashing part way through the install and Re-Booting because of the crash.
Could be the drive itself or it could be some other hardware part in your system. Like the RAM.
To check if it is the internal drive connect an External drive to the system by USB and do the install on that external. If the install completes then it more then likely the drive is bad. If it crashes again then it is more then likely some other piece of hardware in your system.

Lion Recovery disappeared after creating new partition

Hey there-
Today I created a new partition on my MacBook Pro hard drive in order to install a separate Snow Leopard partition on my machine... Prior to creating this partition, I had my regular Mac HD partition, Lion Recovery, and a BootCamp partition to choose from when booting up. After creating the new partition, I was able to install Snow Leopard on it without a hitch, but now when I reboot and hold the 'option' key to choose the boot source, only the Mac partition, Snow leopard partion, and BootCamp partition show up... Where did Recovery HD go? Is it still on my machine somewhere?
Thanks!

Well like I said, I already have file redundancy with my two computers and if the whole thing dies, I'll just do it all over again... I'm not too worried about that. But yeah, probably a good idea to keep a copy of the installer. I did download it overnight but by then my problem was already resolved, haha. *puts it in safe keeping*
I really only cared for Recovery HD for two things: Find my Mac (it's needed to boot into Guest only mode) and to do file system repairs in Disk Utility if necessary.
When I get a bigger capacity hard drive one day, maybe I'll clone the whole setup but for now I really only wanted that partition back for the two things I mentioned above.
But again, I still insist that the method in the link is a much faster way, step 1 being almost unnecessary.
The 10.7.2 update even includes this exact process in the background to replace the old Recovery partition with its newer version.

Hard drive missing space after boot camp got stocked on "Creating Partition"

Hi guys, last night I was trying to install windows 7 in my computer for some gaming, the process with boot camp went well until it said "Creating Partition" there it got stocked for a good 2 hours, because of this I did a bit of research on what could happen if I would force quit it, I read that it might happen that if I restart the partition would be there or just nothing would have change but in my case none of those happened, my hard drive is keeping that space in blank without letting me use it, before trying boot camp I had 240 GB of free space and now after restart it I have 90 gb of free space, yes I tried to make the partition of 150 GB, so what should I do to repair this?, I verified the permissions on Disk Utility and I just got one weird message:
Warnin SUID file "Library/CoreS" has been modified and will not be repaired
But when I try to verify/repair I get this:
or this:

Reboot to your recovery partition and run disk utility from there, you can not repair the disk you are booted from.

Bootcamp will no longer boot after deleting partition #3 of my new Mac Mini. What happened? Was it the way I tried to reclaim the HDD space for Mac?

Here's my dilemma. I have a new Mac Mini - a week old. I installed Windows 7 on it using Mac's Bootcamp assistant. I then set up and configured my Windows 7 world and everything worked fine. No issues logging in between Lion or Win7 via the restart/option key procedure. Well, yesterday I split my Mac HD partition one more time to create a third partition (was created as an "extra", e.g. possible future partition for another operating system). After creating it, I then decided that I didn't really need it. So I deleted it in Disk Utility and attempted to drag the Mac HD partition line downward so as to "fill in the gap" and reclaim the lost hardrive space. It seemed as if I could reclaim about 1 gig or so, but I figured...oh well.
Well, the Mac HD partition seems to work just fine, but now I've noticed that I can't get into the Bootcamp partition anymore. It wont boot. If I try to verify the partition [doesn't even give me "repair" as an option), then it fails and gives me the following error message: "verify volume failed. invalid request." When I go to the Startup Disk option in my System Preferences section, it displays the bootcamp partition as a folder and not as a drive anymore.
I'm assuming that I messed up some permissions or lost some vital links during my attempted resizing/reclaiming of harddrive space. How do I fix this without having to reload either all of my Mac info or all or my Win7 info? I'd hate to consider the last two days of my life loading this crap up a complete loss.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for checking in, BDAQua.
Problem solved.
In the docs that came with my Powerlogix accelerator card, I found this sentence buried:
"If you reset the PRAM, the NVRAM code for OS9 compatibility is cleared, so you will have to boot from the Firmawre Update CD and perform this process again in order to boot in OS9."
The "process" it's referring to is the process of setting up the NVRAM for booting into OS9 from the CD.
Fortunately, I was able to find the disk, and it worked as expected. I can now, once again boot into OS9.
Conclusion: My (unadvised) attempt to load Leopard on this old machine apparently reset the PRAM on the accelerator card and cleared the NVRAM code for OS9 boot. Although I did attempt to reset the NVRAM via Open Firmware, it did not reset it on the accelerator card.
So, thank you BDAQua, for your "Ah yes" . . . that's all I needed to steer me in the right direction.
Gratefully,

My Dows iMac does not Boot up into the OS nor into the DVD after creating..

Hi All,
I ended up in strange situation where iMac doesn't even Boot, neither from the HD nor from the DVD, I ended up with this problem after creating a Bootcamp partition on my iMac.
I tried all the possible troubleshooting methods given in the Apple trouble shooting guide. but no use.
the current state of my iMAC is when start it it simple displays the blank white screen and doesn't progress any further.
and when I reboot the machine and hold the C button, it displays a faint folder icon in the center.
please help me , if any one has encountered the same problem.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Narik

If you start up with the Option key, as far as I remember, there is no mouse icon. You may need to use the arrow keys to select a bootable disk.
OK, holding down the mouse button is the accepted (and correct) way to eject a disk at startup.
Try putting in the disk before startup. Then hold down the C key when you press the power button. It can take a time to read an install disk. However, if it is not reading the disk there may be more problems.
Have you tried a safe boot: Use the Shift key at start.
Serious Stuff:
I know you are new to Macs, but as an alternative, try to startup and hold down the Command + S keys. This should put you into single user mode and it will all look like a black screen with white writing. When it stops you should see a $ sign -- this is the command line. As a first step, just type in the single word - reboot - and press the return key.
If that works we can try something else.
It may be, of course, that while creating your Boot Camp partition, you erased everything. Great care needs to be taken with these functions. That would not, however, prevent the disk from booting.

No Booting of Windows 8.1 After GPT Partition Resizing with Easeus Partition Master 3.0

Hi there,
I have a Sony Notebook SVS13A3Z9ES with preinstalled Windows 8 which I updated to Windows 8.1. The notebook has a
250GB SSD which had the following GPT partitions
Partition 1: SONYSYS - 260MB (Sony Vaio tools, type OEM)
Partition 2: Windows RE - 1,4 GB (Type OEM)
Partition 3: EFI System Partition - 260 MB (type System)
Partition 4: MSR 128 MB (type reserved)
Partition 5: About 240 GB - (incl. Windows, Type Prime)
Partition 6: Windows Recovery 350 MB (type OEM)
Partition 7: Recovery: 28 GB - OEM -> I created instead a Recovery USB stick and have now another prime partition
I then shrinked the Windows partition to 101GB with the Easeus Partition Master 3.0 to create another partition dedicated for data only. I didn't use the Windows built-in partition tool because I still wanted to shift the part.6,
being able to only extend part.7 for the final data partition. After I activated the shrinking via the Easeus I had to restart the notebook. I immediately came obviously to the Windows RE environment :
- asking me for selecting language
- afterwards I was brought to the Option Menue
* Continue Booting -> led me back to the language selection
* Turn-of PC and
* Trouble Shooting ->
Proceeding with Troubleshooting
* Recovery and Maintenance -> tried to start VAIO Care but couldn't access it -> back to Option Menu
* Refresh PC -> led to the message
“The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again.”
It seems that the C: drive was locked after shrinkingthe partition with Easeus.
* Advanced Options ->
Proceeding with Advanced Options:
* Automatic Repair -> couldn't be executed, log file on C:. With cmd the C:\> drive can be initialized but Windows folder is not found (probably locked or hidden)
* Recovery Point Recovery -> no recovery points were detected -> back to Troubleshooting
* System Image Recovery -> no image points were detected -> back to Troubleshooting
* UEFI Firmware Settings -> led to the Vaio Care RescueMode screen which can be seen here
http://community.sony.com/t5/VAIO-Upgrade-Backup-Recovery/How-can-I-enter-bios-on-my-vaio-I-want-to-boot-from-the-cd-drive/td-p/60063
e.g. starting Windows from there led to WinRE again
* cmd window ->
Finally we have the cmd Window. Here are several postings in the internet with potential solutions but no one helped me so far. Example postings:
http://superuser.com/questions/460762/how-can-i-repair-the-windows-8-efi-bootloader

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/rebuild-bcd-store-windows.htm
http://www.winhelp.us/repair-your-computer-in-windows-8.html
I tried so far:
- chkdsk -> executed, no problems
- Bootrec /fixmbr -> executed
- Bootrec /fixboot -> executed
- Bootrec /rebuildbcd, result:
Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 0
The operation completed successfully.
Restart brought me directly to language selection and Windows RE back again.
BCDBoot c:\Windows -> executed successfully but restart
back to WinRE
Then I assigned a letter to the EFI partition using diskpart v6.2.9200 and replaced bcd file with
1. method: BCDBoot c:\Windows /s z: /f ALL (z: letter of EFI partition) ->
executed successfully but restart back to WinRE
2. method: Bootrec /rebuildbcd -> executed successfully but restart back to WinRE
I had the recovery USB stick inserted but it was never used so far.
Do you still have other solution ideas restore the booting or an approach how to unlock the GPT c: drive with Windows again ? I would appreciate that very much.

Hi，
According to your description,the system was damaged by the partition tool.
Since you upgraded to Windows 8.1,you cannot use Windows 8 recovery media to repair the system.
If you have some important data in the SSD,I suggest that you move the ssd to other computer,and backup the data.
As you said,you had the recovery USB stick inserted but it was never used so far.
For this issue,please change your BOIS setting for USB.
I suggest you use your recovery USB stick to reinstall your system.

Restore after stuck partition

How do I restore after creating a partition for windows, with Bootcamp assistance that got stuck, and no materials to loose?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
the recommended way to do this is described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/15554.html
And usually no harm is done to your OSx volume when using this method.

Tecra R10-10W - Can't create partition during installation

I got Tecra R10-10W and I switched from Vista to XP. I used Windows XP Toshiba recovery disk for this.
I was not able to create partition on hdd during the installation.
I wonder did I miss something?
How can I split my hdd into 2 parts? Should I re-install XP for it?
Please help me?
Thanks,
Alper

Hi!
As Akuma wrote its not possible to create or change HDD partitions during the Toshiba recovery installation.
The Toshiba recovery disk contains an image of factory settings and after this you can change the partition size yourself.
I also use Partition Magic and it works really good. If you dont have this tool you can Google for a freeware tool. ;)

How to change CUBE properies after create

Hi,
I am using AWM 102020A, I have created a CUBE and now want to go back and change some of the implementation details , is it possible to change :-
Tab -> Implementation Details
1. Order of dimensions
2. Sparsity checkbox
3. Partition Details
Tab -> Cache
1. Turn on session cache if checked off.
Seems these are locked down after create, how can I change these details.
Thanks for any help,
Brandon

Since you are you using the 10.2.0.2 version of AWM I suppose the database version you are using is also 10.2.0.2 or below.
So to my knowledge the answer is no.
If you are on the 10.2.0.3 version you have some more options because of the integrated sparsity advisor. Then you would have had the opportunity to recreate the cube. I have never tested the actual recreate function, but I've tested the sparsity advisor and saw that I could change if the cube was to be compressed, what dimension to be sparse etc.
Seems like to have to have the 10.2.0.3 version of the database for this to work.

How do you get past the create partition step? Trying to indtall Windows 7 using Boot Camp 5

Trying to install Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. Currently run Win7 using VMware but experiencing poor performance and lockup. Have tried to use Boot Camp but cannot get past the 'creating partition' step. The blue bar shows some progress (about 10%), but then after some time it produces a generic error message thst it cannot create the partition.

Hold the option while turning on the computer. You should see your statup drives. Just choose the OS X drive and eject your disc once in OS X.

XMLA Create Partition Limit

Hello,
I'am trying to make SSIS package that will dynamically create cube partitions. First, I create XMLA Create script with SQL query and then I give this XMLA script to "Analysis Services Execute DDL Task".
Problem:
If I have more than 5 partition in XMLA script I got error after execution "Analysis Services Execute DDL Task".
Do someone know any limitations when creating more than 5 partition in one XMLA batch?
How can I solve this problem?
I'am using SSDT 2010.
Thx!

Hi,
I create XMLA script with sql procedure. When I execute that scrpit in SSMS Analysis Services XMLA query everything works just fine. There is no limit home much I can create cube partition in XMLA batch script. But when I give this script to "Analysis
Services Execute DDL Task" in SSIS I got error if the is more then 5 "create partition" script within one XMLA batch.
I do not know why this is happening? I can process 10 or more partition but I can create only 5 in one batch.
I don't won't use AMO to create partitions. The simplest solution is to create XMLA script in SP and execute that script in "Analysis
Services Execute DDL Task".
Where is the problem, how can I solve this?
Can you post whats exact error message you get?
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Help creating partitions in RAID 0 Volume

I have 2 Seagate Barracuda 160 GB SATA HDDs running on the ICH5R (865PE mobo). I created one large RAID 0 Volume. I was about to create 3 partitions on Win XP using Partiton Magic 8, but then I noticed that PM does not support Software RAID I searched the web for information on how to create partitions for this kind of setup, but found nothing conclusive. Some people say you can create partitons using software RAID, some say I'll be asking for trouble if I do. Has anyone done this successfully with this kind of setup? Thanks.

This is your thread, so you can do what you want. Since it's a new topic, you might get better response by starting a new thread since some who have viewed this one may not bother rechecking it.
The ICH5R is not a hardware raid solution. It requires a driver and uses the CPU for processing. True hardware raid will cost you 2-3 times what this board cost you. I would start a new thread and I'm sure someone like Vango44 who uses raid will give you the answer you are looking for.
