  • 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?

    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.

  • 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".

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I created a new partition; how do I open it? I want to install Mavericks on it?

    I created a new partition; how do I open it? I want to install Mavericks on it?

    When the Mavericks installer opens, you'll be given the chance to choose where you want it installed to. Select that partition.
    If the partition's formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), no additional preparation is required.

  • 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!

  • HT4718 i need to install a fresh copy of OS X onto my macbook pro 13. i did erase the old partition "macintosh hd" & now when i am trying to create a new partition, it shows "partition failed..couldnt unmount disk"...pls help !!

    i need to install a fresh copy of OS X onto my macbook pro 13. i did erase the old partition "macintosh hd" & now when i am trying to create a new partition, it shows "partition failed..couldnt unmount disk"...pls help !!

    First of all, I have to ask, why to you "need" to install a fresh copy of OSX?
    This may mean that your hard drive is failing, so hopefully you have a backup.
    I'm assuming you were in your recovery partition when you did this.
    I would, from the recovery partition, repair your hard drive and permissions.
    When to Run First Aid in Mountain Lion's Disk Utility - For Dummies
    And then try to create the partition again.
    If that doesn't work, you have a few options:
    Try a third party utility like DiskWarrior or TechTool which may be able to repair your hard drive:
    DiskWarrior 4 - The Disk Utility for Mac Disk Repair, Mac Directory Repair, Mac Disk Recovery, Mac Data Recovery or Techtool Pro 7
    Try internet recovery, perhaps erase the entire hard drive and reinstall ML.
    If nothing else works, then I'd replace the HD and start over.

  • 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.

    I'm not an expert, but I partitioned the C: drive and made a partition for Windows 8. It worked perfectly as a multi-boot setup.
    A word of caution...Make sure that you want to make it a permanent change. When I removed the Win 8 partition and tried to restore my system to factory settings, I could not get the F2 during restart to work. F2 now brings up the multi-boot screen. So I tried to restore using the DVD Restore Set I made before I did anything to the partitions. I was able to boot to the DVD Restore Set by using the F12 key during restart and selecting the BDDVD drive. It looked like it was going to work, but after it loaded the minmum Windows files and I clicked on Restore, I got an error stating that the partition had changed and I could not restore.
    I contacted tech support and they are sending me a disc to restore the system.
    Regards
    Thanks for the heads up. I'd like to use the SSD for installing Windows 8. It seems to have about 25GB free. Isn't that a better place to install the OS? I am not sure why the bigger drive is marked as C: and the small, faster one as D: :-(

  • Error ora-15081 (and several others) while creating a new db in Solaris

    Hi all,
    OS: Solaris 11
    DB: 11.2.0.3.5 (2 node rac)
    While creating a new db on a Solaris 11 env, via dbca, the following stack error appeared to me:
    ORA-19624: operation failed, retry possible
    ORA-19870: error while restoring backup piece path[...]
    ORA-19504: failed to create file "+MYDG"

    There are a lot of errors in this stack, and i'm not pretty sure which error is the main cause of this issue, but I think it's the "ORA-15081: failed to submit an I/O operation to a disk" that is the bad guy here. I did some researches and found that some possible sollutions:
    1) One said that this error might be caused by bad permissions on the raw devices used in the "MYDG" diskgroup (i'm using 6 devices with external redundancy), but my devices are all with the grid:asmadmin and 660 permissions
    2) Another said that this might be a problem with the owner:group of the oracle binaries. In ny installation the oracle binaries ($ORACLE_HOME/bin) are with the oracle:oinstall. I thougth of addind the asmadmin group to the oracle user, but i'm not sure what are the implications of this change. What do you thing?
    What am I doing wrong and how can i solve it?
    Thanks in advance for your pacience and attention.

  • Problem while creating a new user on solaris

    I have a SUN ultra machine. Solaris 2.6 is installed on this machine.
    I have successfully created a new user in this machine using "admintool"
    Problem is I'm getting error messages when I'm trying to update NIS DATABASE.
    I'm doing-
    #cd /var/yp
    #/usr/ccs/bin/make
    and the response is----
    updated passwd
    pushed passwd
    make:Warning:Don't know how to make target /etc/ethers
    Current working directory /var/yp
    make:Warning:Don't know how to make target /etc/netgroup
    Current working directory /var/yp
    make:Warning:Don't know how to make target /etc/bootparams
    Current working directory /var/yp
    updated netid
    pushed netid
    Couldn't find /etc/timezone
    make:Warning:Target all not remade because of errors.
    Current working directory /var/yp

    I had the a similar problem with new users on sloaris 8.
    I wasn't able to add new users and change the shell variable while using admintool.
    Login back into the console would simply not happen.
    All i've been able to find is that changing the users' variable - i.e. .login or .profile to match that of a working existing user (root),
    would skip over the problems.
    Other variables in the skeleton files were helpful. I suggest you take a look at them.

  • Creating a new partition on OSX has replaced a drive. Is there anyway to recover this?

    This might be a little confusing so I will try and explain myself as best as I can.
    I run OSX and Windows 7. OSX is on 1 harddrive whilst my windows 7 install is on an SSD. I had a partition titled G:Win7 Files, this was not where Windows 7 was installed but a partition I used to store files for use on windows. I recently made a new partition from the drive with OSX installed on for use with Windows. I did this on OSX and when I rebooted into Windows, my G:Win7 Files drive has now been replaced with G:Windows (which was the partition I'd just created from a different drive.)
    Because they are seperate drives, I was really hoping there would be a way to find this lost drive. It's showing that 18gb is being used of the new partition however that's how much data was on my missing drive and the new one appears empty.
    I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to be asking about this but I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction on how to go about fixing this!
    Thanks

    Thanks. Ya that is a big bummer, I never knew to write down my recovery key... Maybe this should be more clearly explained in the preferences panel.

  • I create a new partition in an external hard drive with disk utility. Now it says mounting disk and it's taking forever. Is that normal? Please help!

    I have an external hard drive from seagate. Tonight I decided to give it a try and add a new partition to it so I could have a bootable version of mountain lion in it it just in case of emergency and no internet. After creating the partition, disk utility says "mountain disk", and its been doing it for at least 20 minutes and not moving... Any ideas? btw, now the external drive is not even showing on the left-side bar...
    Thanks!

    I would try reformatting the drive and creating the partition again. Make certain that you erase the drive and format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and the partition the drive.
    What you describe is not normal... try again.
