Create a FAT32 partition of less than 32GB?

I can't seem to do this in Disk Utility, nor by using newfs_msdos.
I'm trying to use a Maxtor 250GB external drive to backup my PS3 (before upgrading the internal disk) but it won't recognise FAT32 filesystems over 32GB in size when connected via USB.
I can erase the drive using Disk Utility, but this just creates a 250GB (approx) FAT32 filesystem. I tried newfs, but it's a bit confusing and it won't let me write to the disk anyway (event with 'sudo').
Has anyone managed to do this on a Mac (without purchasiong the expensive iPartition)?

Found a Windows XP machine to connect the hard drive to. Problem solved.

Not booting after creating a fat32 partition from windows 8 from boot camp

I have windows 8.1 on a boot camp partition. I created a fat32 partition from windows looking forward to be able to share files to Yosemite OSX. But now, neither the OSX or the windows are booting. When pressing options key is only abailable one option, a disk tagged as "windows", and after trying to use it, it refers to a error message "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME". I really really appreciate any help regarding this issue.

Your entire disk is a MBR disk. You will need to erase the disk, and start from the beginning and install Yosemite/Mavericks, and then use BC Assistant to create a Windows partition and install Windows. If you have a Time Capsule/Time Machhine backup, you can restore it after your erase using the command below.
You can erase the disk as follows
diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ OSX disk0
Here is the Usage help syntax.
diskutil erasedisk
Usage: diskutil eraseDisk format name [APM[Format]|MBR[Format]|GPT[Format]]
MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode
Completely erase an existing whole disk. All volumes on this disk will be
destroyed. Ownership of the affected disk is required.
Format is the specific file system name you want to erase it as (HFS+, etc.).
Name is the (new) volume name (subject to file system naming restrictions),
or can be specified as %noformat% to skip initialization (newfs).
You cannot erase the boot disk.
Example: diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ UntitledUFS disk3

Create TO for a quantity less than the delivery quantity

If we have created an inbound delivery in MB1C, 561 movement to post an initial entry of stocks, and then packed the HU in Vl32N. Now, we want to create a TO for a quantity less than the delivery quantity.
In LT03 I cant see any option to change the TO quantity. How can we actually change the TO quantity to be less than the Delivery quantity.
Thanks
-Mike

Mike,
I dont think that's going to be possible. The TO gets data from the del qty which is in your embedded HU since you have packed the qty in the del in the HU,
so if you are trying to create a TO with less qty means that you want a qty less that the HU in the del and this is not possible.
Alternatively :
1) You can receive it in your warehouse.
2) Move it in a re-packaging area
3) break the HU and re-create a new HU.
4) Pack the desired qty
5) Move the 2 HU's back to their desired bins.
Hope this helps and works!
thanks'

How to create a FAT32 partition that is primary instead of logical with disc utility?

I am trying to create a partition on an external drive, so I can use it as a hard drive for my XBOX 360. I already have data on the drive, and there is more data than I can back up. I have tried using disc utility to partition it and I use the MS-DOS FAT type, however when I plug in to my XBOX it doesnt recognize the drive, and wants to reformat the entire thing. I have read on other forums that the partition needs to be of the "primary" type instead of logical, but I cannot figure how to set it up that way. Any help would be great, thanks!

I found this blog post shortly after the first BootCamp beta was out. I successfully split mine into three partitions per the instructions. However, since Leopard now lets you live partition your disk, you can probably do the partitioning via Disk Utility instead of using diskutil in Terminal.

How to create a FAT32 partition on the internal HDD?

I'd like to set up a partition that can be shared between OSX and Windows.
I tried using a GParted LiveCD, but then OSX won't recognize the partition. I haven't installed Windows yet, but I've read that formatting the partition from Windows will prevent OSX from recognizing it as well. Any ideas? Thanks.

If you are reformatting your internal drive, you will loose your OS X install and have to re-install. That being said, boot from your os x install disc and reformat the first partition as _free space_ for your Windows install then install OS X on the second partition formatted as HFS+. After the install and boot of the OS X install, restart with your Windows disc and install on free space. It will format the partition for you as NTFS or Fat32 if you choose. Mac's can read and write to both. Fat32 is native and NTFS requires MacFuse and the ntfs-3g plugin...both free.
After the install you will need to set up a boot option. I have used Super Grub Disc
http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
and booted the partitions seperatly. There are other BootLoader programs that will allow you to choose which partition to boot from. A really nice one with a great GUI is Cameleon
http://chameleon.osx86.hu/articles/chameleon-20rc1-is-out
Hope this works for you,

Found spotlight-v100 hidden folder in FAT32 partition

On my macbook, I have created a FAT32 partition using bootcamp and found .spotlight-v100 hidden folder and other files with it. I cannot remove them and they stopped me from formatting the partition to NTFS. Please help~~~!!!. I am new to mac and please provide me walkthrough step by step. Really don't understand how they can get into the newly created blank FAT32 partition in the first place.
Regards,

My drive that I wanted to format was the 3rd partition which was named as Drive E by bootcamp (C installed XP and D is default DVD ROM drive). The Drive E was formatted as FAT32 with cluster size 512k. I did some research on internet and was recommended to convert it to NTFS with cluster size 4096k. I did the conversion and it ended up with NTFS but size still remains at 512k. I tried to reformat it using different methods with no success. Each time I started to format it, the process proceeded with no problem until at the end, an warning message popped out : 'This drive cannot be formatted'. I have no clue why it happened like that since the drive has nothing in it except with 2 different folders created by window: Recycler and system volume information.
I want to change cluster size because FAT32 format does not support file size larger than 4G. So, how can I change the cluster size? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!!!

1.5 Edit Table Partitions - Can not edit Values Less than Field

When editing (or more importantly to me) creating new partitions through the GUI. This slao was an issue w/1.2.1 that I recently discovered, I was hoping that it would have gotten fixed in 1.5

Just to confirm this is only a problem when editing a table? It seems fine when creating a table from scratch.
The field is disabled when editing an existing partition because there isn't (as far as I can tell) an ALTER TABLE clause for changing the less than value of a range partition.
It's a bug that when you create a new partition, while editing a table, the field is still disabled. I'll log it now.

Vld 004 error - partition key has less than 2 partitions defined

HI All,
i have created a new table with a partition on one colunm. when i am trying to validate the table in owb, i am getting the vld-904 - partition key has less than two partitions defined error.
please help.
thank you.

Hi,
Oracle DB requires that a partitioned table has at least 2 partitions. That is why you get an error from owb, the table creation would fail anyway.

Carsten.

First, when you post related threads you should cross-link them so people have access to all of the information about the problem you are trying to work with.

Yes - that is what it should be doing.
These are the steps you took to populate the table
1. You originally inserted ALL data into table 'drop_it' with no restriction on the PROD_DETAILS values.
create table drop_it as select * from mv_prod_search_det2;     2. Then you converted the PROD_DETAILS value to upper case. That has no effect on numbers or other non-alphabetic characters.
update drop_it set prod_details=upper(prod_details);3. Then you create a new table with only one partition using MAXVALUe
PROD_DETAILS VARCHAR2(1000 BYTE),
     SIGN VARCHAR2(42 BYTE)
PARTITION BY RANGE(PROD_DETAILS)
PARTITION MAX_VALUE VALUES LESS THAN (MAXVALUE)
);4. Then you populate the partitioned table by exchange. It now has the same data including the numeric data.
ALTER TABLE drop_it_p EXCHANGE PARTITION MAX_VALUE WITH TABLE drop_it WITH VALIDATION;     5. Then you split the one MAXVALUE partition into two partitions. One with data < 'B%' and one with the remaining data that sorts higher based on your character set.
ALTER TABLE DROP_IT_P
SPLIT PARTITION MAX_VALUE AT ('B%')
INTO (PARTITION p_a,
        PARTITION MAX_VALUE);     The split on 'B%' when creating partition p_a is equivalent to you 'WITH VALUES < 'B%'. Since PROD_DETAILS is a VARCHAR2 datatype that 'LESS THAN' comparison uses the character order based on your database character set and most, if not all, character sets have characters that sort lower than the uppercase alphabetic characters.
For example in the ASCII character set an uppercase 'A' is decimal 65 so 64 other characters (including the digitis 0-9) sort lower than 'A'.
http://www.asciitable.com/
As the doc you cited shows
>
•All partitions, except the first, have an implicit lower bound specified by the VALUES LESS THAN clause on the previous partition.
>
That 'first' partition has no lower bound so ALL data, including digits, that sort less than 'B%' will be in that partition.
>
please help me eliminate these rows
>
Either don't select the data to begin with or remove it using a simple DELETE query. Also you can do the case conversion when you select the data.
create table drop_it as select upper(prod_details) prod_details, sign from mv_prod_search_det2 where upper(prod_details >= 'A';Before you do that you should make sure you define the actual business rule you want to use to define the data you really want to keep and exclude.
Because most, if not all, character sets also have characters that sort HIGHER than the alphabetic characters. That ASCII table shows five of them. If you don't filter them out you will get data where the values start with those characters.
Even if you do filter them out there is nothing in what you posted that would prevent a user from inserting that data back into the table.
And, of course, there are characters that sort BETWEEN the lower and upper case alphabetics.
You need to determine what the allowable characters are in the PROD_DETAILS column and add code (e.g. check constraint or trigger) to make sure users can't enter data that includes those characters.

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

Unable to create the Variable icon which shows Less than or equal to

Hi Experts,
when we create a variable normally will get a icon of the variable which say equal to symbol on the varaible icon. Hope everybody know that.
Now how can we change that variable icon to less than or equal.
Please can you provide me that information.
Thanks alot !

hi,
when you are trying to restrict the char select range values instead of variable.
then select the operator type (less than, greate than etc) and in place of value select variable and then give the variable name.
regards,
Arvind.

Holy crap, I got it to work.
Essentially, I just waited until DiskWarrior reached Step 9 and told it to skip the step before it had a chance to freeze. It skipped successfully, moved on, rebuilt and replaced the faulty directory files.
So far the computer is booting like normal, I can log in, and I'm currently copying all of the data to an external as I type this.
I still have no idea why the computer wouldn't mount or boot to any drive, but I guess I'll deal with that later.

Creating Custom Page Size less than one inch

I currently have Acrobat 6 on Windows XP, and it appears that I cannot set a custom page size less than one inch (Using Printer Preferences). Is there another method I can use to create a PDF from Publisher that has a page size less than one inch? If not, would updating to Acrobat 9 allow me to print to a custom page size of less than one inch?

Thanks Peggy,
I tried deleting the preference file and restarting Pages but I still have the same problem with the custom page size. When I start Pages I am presented with a bunch of templates so I choose Blank then I go through my procedure to select the custom page size that I created and always end up back at an A4 document.
I have used the demo version of Stone Create to do what I needed to do with the small page size (ie. create a small ad) but it is a pain that I paid for Pages and now will need to buy something like Stone Create to do what I need. Although, that said, having used Stone Create for this little ad I must say that for the price it seems like a pretty decent program that will do a whole lot of the desktop publishing type of functions without the rather steep prices of the Adobe products. I kind of wish I had bought this program instead of Pages now.
Cheers,
Graham

I am having trouble sending bulk emails (less than 100 at a time) on my gmail account using group names created from my address book. I use Mail on my I-Mac. When I try to send out a bulk email, the message shows up that my server can't send them, etc.

I am having trouble sending bulk emails from a Mail Group (less than 100 at a time) on my gmail account. They come back saying the server can't recognize the data and try again with selected server or try later or edit message, all of which I have attempted a number of times, including re-booting the computer. I am wondering if there is something wrong in my Address Book? I have check Apple Preferences, and Mail Preferences and all seems in order. I can send to any of the individual addresses, but not in a group.
Thanks for your help.
