Couldn't create a new partition with a windows 7 installation

Hi
I have a b570 laptop. It was originally windows 7 home premium and I wanted to install windows 7 ultimate from scratch (didn't want to upgrade it) with new partitions, so I have deleted the original system partition and tried to create a new partition but to my surprise I couldn't create a new one. I tried to use the onekey recovery but it keeps asking me for the original partition, which I don't have. Please help me if you know how I could solve this problem. Thank you in advance.

With the windows 7 installation disk...I select the unallocated space shown on the screen -> click on the new button on the bottom -> set the size of the new partition to be created -> and click create.

  • Windows 8 installation error: "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files."

    I recently tried testing Server 2012 for installation and I had a major issue.  Windows 8 also uses the same method for installation so this should also apply to Windows 8.  I thought this might be helpful for other people who have the same
    problem.  My setup is a 1U server with no DVD drive, no hard drives, and only USB.  I have a new hard drive that I wanted to install Server onto, so I put it in and ran the installer off a thumb drive.  I kept receiving the following error when
    I tried to format the hard drive and proceed with the installation:
    "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files."
    After hours of troubleshooting, I determined my problem was I was using a thumb drive to install it, and Windows didn't like it.  Some people had similar issues when similar devices were plugged in (i.e. external hard drives, SD cards, CF cards, etc). 
    In my case, it was the installation drive itself was a thumb drive.  I ended up digging up an external DVD drive and placed the installation onto a DVD.  Worked flawlessly.  Now I am up and running.
    I tried
    the steps here to no avail.
    Hope this helps anyone else with the same problems.

  • 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".

  • New Partition With Parallels Windows

    I made new partition on my macbook pro, when I open parallels to use windows I can see only the main drive of macbook pro but I can not see the new partition, I would like to know, how can I make the parallels windows see the new partition ?
    Thanks

    Read your Parallels documentation. It's all about configuring the Preferences.

  • "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. Form more information, see setup log files"

    Ok so back in August 2014 I succuesfully used bootcamp to install Windows 10 Tech preview. It worked great until March of this year when Windows issued an update (Which I had no control over).  After this update the R9 4GB graphics card driver stopped working.  I contacted Apple/AMD/Microsoft but was unable to fix this problem.
    So,  I uninstalled Windows 10 through bootcamp and restored the drive to a single partition. I purchased windows 8.1 and downloaded Windows Enterprise edition (as this comes as an ISO file) and started the process again with Bootcamp. Everything works great until I get to the installation of windows.
    I did the same as last time (formatted the Bootcamp partition) and tried to continue the installation. I now get the following message:
    I have tried a complete reinstall of the system twice (back to factory settings) but still the same issue.  I have also tried using Windows 10 Tech preview but still the same issue. (I only have my remote drive with the ISO file connected to the mac and have tried with a USB stick)
    Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thanks

    Thank you for your prompt response.  Please see below:

  • Disk Utility can't create a new partition

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create a new partition to install Windows 7 on, but I am unable to do so.
    At first I tried to do this with Boot Camp Assistant, but it didn't work.
    Then I tried to create a FAT partition with Disk Utility, which didn't work either.
    So I verified and repaired the disk, tried to create the partition again, yet it still didn't work.
    I verified and repaired the disk and tried to create the partition while running the OS, in Safe Mode and from the Mac OSX Install DVD.
    Neither of them worked.
    I noticed while running the OS, the info of the HD said the capacity is 749.81 GB, while checking that from the Mac OSX Install DVD it only says about 700 GB (I mentioned 698.6 GB).
    Strange..
    It might also be important to mention that I recently (2 days ago) I installed a new HD: Western Digital Scorpio Black 750 GB, and today I swapped my 2x 2GB RAM for 2x 4GB RAM (Samsung).
    On my previous HD, the Fujitsu 250GB, this proces was no problem at all. I installed W7 on that drive just a week ago.
    I made a clone of the Fujitsu HD and "back-upped" it to my new WD HD. The W7 partition on the Fujitsu HD was 50GB, which is the difference in capacity mentioned above. I'm not sure if there's a link here..
    I've got a MacBook Pro from mid 2009.
    I'm not sure what to do next... I'm stuck!
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Good thing to mention that, I forgot to do that.
    Unfortunately it did not help.. The screen to remove the existing Boot Camp partition does not pop up, it just tries to create the new Boot Camp partition.
    The partition I'm trying to create it 150GB. The 50GB mentioned above was on the stock Fujitsu 250GB disk.
    Edit:
    I'm actually trying to avoid using Boot Camp Assistant.. I became to dislike the utility due to problems creating a partition on my previous HD.
    I would like to create a partition using Disk Utility and then install Windows 7 by selecting that DVD to boot from.
    Thank you for the tip though, I'll post it there as well!

  • I have snow leopard with bootcamp what will happen if I create a new partition and install Lion

    query as subject line - I was planning to create a new partition using disk utility and installing lion on that - I am aware Lion will Create a recovery partition in addition - so is it possible to have Snow with it's Bootcamp and Lion with it's recovery on my imac purchased jan 2012?
    Subsequent question although I purchased Lion from the mac store can I jump straight to Mountain Lion (if I purchase it) from Snow leopard?

    If you plan to create a third partition, then you will lose control over your Boot Camp partition and ability to boot Windows. You cannot have three partitions as you desire.
    You can upgrade the Snow Leopard system to Lion or Mountain Lion. You can obtain another HDD and install Lion or Mountain Lion on the external drive.
    Yes, you can purchase and download Mountain Lion to upgrade the Snow Leopard system.

  • After creating new partition with iPartition, on a nonbootdrive, I can no longer see any files stored on that drive.

    I have a Hitachi disk that I use for media (photos, videos, etc..)
    After using Ipartition to create a new partition on this disk, none of the files are visible any more.
    The disk was never partiton before so this was the first partition created.
    When I launch iPartition again, I notice that I now have a Microsoft FAT or NTFS type partion and a HFS partiton however there is no data at all under Finder.
    What should I do to recover my files ?

    you don't need 3rd party to shrink and create a 2nd partition.
    One partition is still partition, and there are others like Lion Recovery, GUID, EFI on there.
    Repair the drive and make sure iPartition does what you want and current. Or just use DU instead.
    And backup.

  • Can't create a new partition

    Hi,
    I want to create a new partition as I have done before a few times.
    Now, the problem is, that I get an error message, when I'm trying to create one.
    Unfortunetally the error message is in German, so I try to translate it:
    "Partitioning failed
    During partitioning is occurred an error:
    MediaKit reports: System has for the desired process not enough memory"
    You can see the screenshot under following link:
    http://www.apfeltalk.de/forum/partitionen-zusammenf-hren-t174556.html
    The point is: I have 2 GB RAM and more than 100 GB on my harddisc free!
    Probably this problem occured with Mac OS X 10.5.5.
    Does anybody know an solution?
    How can I contact Apple to inform them about this problem and get some help?!
    Best regards
    Stefano

    Your translation is probably a little off and rather than meaning there's not enough RAM it means there's not enough contiguous hard drive space to make a partition of that size. I'm assuming that you are trying to partition a drive that already has data on it. If I am right, before the drive can be partitioned, it has to be defragmented so that the drive has no data in a group of tracks equal to the size you requested. It is possible to request a partition size that looks like it should fit but there's one or more files that cannot be moved out to make space for it. That, is what I think has happened to you.
    If I am right you can try defragging your hard drive with a program dedicated to defragmenting and optimizing. Some people have had success doing this and others have used such a program and still couldn't partition their drive. You can clone the drive to another hard drive (SuperDuper! and CarbonCopyCloner are two good cloning programs) and then turn around and clone right back to original. This will work because as the files are copied to the target drive they will all be placed in contiguous sectors so the drive will be completely defragmented. Or you can try making a smaller partition.

  • If i cancel an account can I create a new one with the same e-mail address?

    I made an account with Game Center and I wanted to use it to get some free apps on the iTunes Store. When I tried to sign in on iTunes (for Windows) it said I had to review my details. I didn't have a credit card so I couldn't complete it and there wasn't any option for no credit card.
    I wondered if I could cancel my account and create a new one with the same e-mail address. There was a discussion that you could create a new account on the iTunes Store and have the choice to not have a credit card.
    Any help will help!
    SuperHoops

    No, it does not, not if the creation of the Apple ID was completed, which unless you are referring to a different Apple ID I presume it did since you are posting here. And once created, you can't get apps without providing a payment method; setting up for just free apps requires a very specific procedure or a payment method is necessary. Creating an account via Game Center does not work.
    If you can create a new email address (Gmail or Yahoo mail will work), take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • Hi! I have 2 Apple IDs but cant log in one. Says info doesnt match. Choosing to receive email, but email is not comming too. Trying to create a new id with old email-denies becuase it is existing. How can I get into old AppleID? Have few expensive apps.

    Could it be so that I have deleted the old AppleID? All applications are still on the device, but I cant get them on new device. When I try to create a new id with an old email, it doesnt allow saying that the address is already occupied. It means the ID exists, but I cant get in... (I was trying to change address, just dont know if I succeed or not.)
    Thank you in advance

    So For everyone that is having the issue of iCloud asking for an old email there is a very simple fix, as long as its a simple switch from one email to another on one apple ID account.
    1. Sign into appleid.apple.com with your current ID.
    2. Edit the primary email to the one requested. (You DO NOT need to verify the old email.)
    3. Sign out of iCloud on any device using the old ID.
    4. Edit the primary email (on appleid.apple.com) back to the desired email address.
    5. Verify that email address.
    6. Sign into iCloud with the correct email.
    As for anyone that is unable to verify their account due to not receiving the verification email, contact apple support for further assistance.

  • I have created a new partition on the Mac HD for Lion as I would like to dual boot. Do I need to install Snow Leopard on that partition before installing Lion? If so, can I use one of my Time Machine backups to do this?

    Can I set up 2 different time capsule backups? one for the lion partition and one for the snow leopard partition?
    No, you can't partition a Time Capsule's internal HD.  Both partitions will back up to the same sparse bundle. keeping the backups for each partition separate.
    Time Machine will not take the two OSX partitions as two different computers, but for best results, exclude the Snow Leopard drive from backups on the Lion partition, and exclude the Lion partition from backups on the Snow Leopard partition.
    There may be some files on the Lion partition that Time Machine on Snow Leopard won't like, among other things.  See #10 in  Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details.

  • I forgot my digital signature password. How do I create a new one with the same email.

    I can not remember my digital signature password. I've attempted to create a new one with the same email address. The message I receive is that i already have a digital signature with that email. I would like to use the same email address.

    You probably mean that you forgot your digital certificate password and I presume that this is a self-signed certificate that you yourself created, not a certificate that you received from a Certificate Authority (CA). If this is true then you can create a new self-signed digital certificate (Digital ID in Acrobat-speak) the same way you created the first one: In Acrobat XI it is Edit->Preferences->Signatures->Identities&Trusted Certificates->More. Then click on "Add ID" button and follow the prompts. You can create as many self-signed certificates with the same credentials (name, email, etc.) as you wish. You'd have to figure out how to distinguish them, though.

  • I have 2 apple id's with different apps and data saved under each.  It's very annoying so now I want to create a new id with my primary email address I use now.  If I do that is there any way to transfer all my saved apps and app data like game saves etc?

    I have 2 apple id's with different apps and data saved under each.  It's very annoying so now I want to create a new id with my primary email address I use now.  If I do that is there any way to transfer all my saved apps and app data like game saves etc so I don't lose all of that information and can easily switch to a singular apple id?

    Apple does not transfer content bought with one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple will not merge two Apple IDs.
    If most of your content was bought with the Yahoo! Apple ID but you now want the Gmail address for your Apple ID, the trick will be to change the address used for the Yahoo ID with the Gmail address. However, to do that you must first free the Gmail address from that other Apple ID. Use the instructions from Apple to substitute another address that is not used as an Apple ID for your Gmail address in the Apple ID with the Gmail address. Then, when the Gmail address is no longer used in an Apple ID, you can use the same instructions to substitute the Gmail address for the Yahoo address in the Apple ID with the Yahoo address.

    How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

    You are asking about a Database User I hope.
    You can look into the Oracle 8i Documentation and find various privillages listed.
    In particular, you may find:
    Chapter 27 Privileges, Roles, and Security Policies
    an intresting chapter.
    You may want to do this with the various tools included with 8i - including the
    Oracle DBA Studio - expand the Security node and you can create USERS and ROLES.
    Or use SQL*Plus. To create a
    user / password named John / Smith, you would login to SQL*Plus as System/manager (or other) and type in:
    Create user John identified by Smith;
    Grant CONNECT to John;
    Grant SELECT ANY TABLE to John;
