Difference between using bootcamp and building partitions with disk utility

hy everybody,
i successfully bought a mac (that was easy , installed windows 7 with bootcamp (quite easy) and now i 'd like to add linux also (considering ubuntu).
before i try to do it with bootcamp i'd like to know what the impact could be...
so i wonder; what does boot camp do and why shouldn't i do it manually with disk utility?
all inputs are welcome
cheers

Why not start by filling out hardware in your profile .sig as it makes a difference.

How to recover after performing an 'Erase' and then 'Partition' within Disk Utility of an External USB drive?

Hi - I accidently ran an 'Erase' and then 'Partition' within Disk Utility of an External USB drive (meant to run it against another drive that was plugged in). Does anyone have any suggestions on if it is possible to recover from this? It has all my family photos on it and my backup is a few months old :-(
I tried running Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery but it found what looks like basic mac folder structure (probably from the first erase). I think what messed me up was that I rain the repartition which formats the drive a 2nd time! Any help is truly appreciated!
thank you,
-Steve

Hello RalphR_MI,
Take a look at this page, which lists several articles. Please let me know if any of these help you restore your backup.
Also, take a look at this article, as well as this one.
I hope this helps. I'm not sure of a few things, so I'm sorry for sending you so much, but I'm confident it will give you something new to try.
Please let me know if this helps. Good luck!

Disk Utilty - what is difference between single volume and single partition

In Disk Utility I can, should I wish, format a drive by using Erase to create a single volume. Also in Disk Utility, I have the option to use Partition to create one (or more) partition.
What is the difference between a volume and a single partition?
What are their relative merits?
In what circumstances would I want to create a single partition instead of a volume?
Disk Utility also prompts me to name the volume or partition. From experience, what would you suggest as a suitable name and where is this information subsequently used?

A "volume" or "partition" are the same thing. The subject of using partitions has been covered many times on the forums. Do some searching and you'll find quite a lot of information. Also try doing some Google searching.

Difference Between Using MVC And SwingUtilities For GUI Component Update

Hi Guys,
What are the difference of using the MVC (Model View Controler) pattern to update GUI and using the SwingUtilities of doing the same job?
Are there any big differences or shortcomings of any?
Thanks.

Thanks.Your question is akin to asking, "What's the difference between using a car to get somewhere versus stepping on the gas pedal to do the same job?"
The use of SwingUtilities to update the "view" only pertains to updating components in a thread-safe manner, it has nothing to do with MVC. MVC would govern when the view gets updated (i.e. after the model changes), while SwingUtilties would be used to specify how the view gets updated.

Difference between using FM and class in alv

does anyone know what's the main difference between using FM to create alv and using class to create alv?
in what condition we usually use FM or class?

using FM we can create Classical and Interactive ALV Reports.
The classes are used to create the ALV Reports with OOPS concept.

Difference between using Binding and Value Attribute

what is the deference between using binding and value attribute, when I use binding attribute at the time of Value change listener is behaving like action listener,
Ex:
If I use value attribute, at the time of value change listener the component is not showing the result in the component but when I use Binding attribute it is happening automatically. So I want to know how the binding attribute is working.
I know, at the time of binding attribute the component is creating an instance at the bean side, So even also how it is following the life cycle of the JSF Frame work, and also Please suggest me weather which one is better to use either Binding or Value?

So I want to know how the binding attribute is working.You need to learn about the JSF lifecycle. The ValueChangeEvent is invoked after conversion and validation in the 3rd phase, while the model values are updated in the 4th phase. In the valueChangeListener method you normally use ValueChangeEvent#getNewValue() to get the new value after the change.
I know, at the time of binding attribute the component is creating an instance at the bean side, So even also how it is following the life cycle of the JSF Frame work, and also Please suggest me weather which one is better to use either Binding or Value?Use the 'value' attribute to bind the value to the bean. Use the 'binding' attribute to bind the component to the bean. If you don't need to precreate the component or do other things than getting/setting its value, then there is no need for the 'binding' attribute.
Read on those links if you want to know something more about the JSF lifecycle:

Partitioning with disk utility

hi there.. i wonder, can i partition my primary hard drive with disk utility live? (i mean not from the leopard dvd on boot) i want to create a new partition that would be less than the amount of free space i have, while running leopard (my mac os shouldn't be damaged i think), is that possible? and safe? thanx

cukerko,
If you have an Intel Mac, the answer is yes. Intel Macs must have internal drives that use the GUID Partition Map, and these can be dynamically partitioned and re-sized under Leopard's Disk Utility.
It is relatively safe, but it is an action that modifies the drive at a low level. In other words, one would be foolish to attempt a re-partitioning or re-size without a good and current backup on hand. Provided you have such a backup, there's no reason not to create your partition.

Deleting a partition with Disk Utility

I have 5 partitions on my external drive. One is corrupted to the extent that I can not erase it with D/U.
I had tried to repair the partition with Disk Warrior, but it appears that would take many, many hours.
Can I delete the partition without deleting the other four?
Thanks for any help.

No, Disk Utility will erase them all, use DW.

Partition with Disk Utility?

I just got a 500gb external drive that I want to partition. Disk Utility is supposed to be able to do this. The help file says "Click Partition" in the Disk Utility window. I see nothing in the window with "Partition" on it. A screen shot I've seen (from LaCie's hard drive manual) shows five buttons across the top of the window: First Aid, Erase, Partition, Raid, Restore, but my Disk Utility only has 4 buttons. The "Partition" button is not there.
Any ideas what's up? This is crazy. What am I missing?
I've clicked on the external drive icon along the left column but nothing pertaining to partitioning shows up.

That is because you have your boot volume selected in the left hand column, select the Hard drive itself, the one with the Manufactory ID number. It should be at the very top.

Difference between Domain member and standalone server with AD binding

Hi all,
Can anyone explain the difference between:
A) Setting up a MacOSX server as Windows domain member server using Server Manager;
B) Setting up a MacsOSX server as Windows standalone server and joining the Active Directory using Directory Access;
My setup:
====================
We have a Windows 2003 A.D. running, all users are set up in the A.D.
Also we have two MacOSX servers, which provide file services (both AFP and SMB/CIFS) for Mac and Windows clients, while using the A.D. for user authentication.
One of the MacOSX servers is configured as a domain member server, the other is configured as Windows standalone server. The latter is bound to the A.D. using Directory Access.
Following the Apple manuals one should think that the first setup (domain member) is the best.
As for Open Directory: both servers are running as Standalone.
How my setup behaves
====================
Official Apple guidelines are to set up the Mac server as domain member. Reality is another thing though.
For AFP both servers perform equal: users are authenticated against the A.D. and get access to their shares. File/Folder permissions are as expected.
For Windows clients things aren't the same.
The server setup as Windows Domain member acts strange. Windows clients don't have single signon experience.
Every file/folder's owner shared on this server is <<unknown>> to the client. Also, when a Windows user creates a file/folder the owner is <<unknown>>.
Sometimes the Samba server just stops authentication. A relaunch of the Samba service fixes this.
The server setup as a standalone server performs as expected. Windows clients have single signon experience, there are no issues with file/folder owner. Also authentication never stops.

Shrink HFS partition and extend NTFS partition with Disk Utility?

My 10.7 iMac has two partitions: HFS+ & NTFS. The NTFS was set too small and is nearly full and I want to shrink the echoingly under-used HFS and add the resulting excess to the NTFS one. Is this practicable? I can see via Disk Utility that the Mac partition can be shrunk but no way is shown for modifying the NTFS side. Maybe using a Linux tool is advised?

You can't. If you try either Windows or OS X or both will no longer boot. You can try a aftermarket disk partitioning program but most that work on HFS partition don't work for Windows and those that work for Windows don't work on Mac extended partitions.
The only real option is to backup the Windows partition with something like Win Clone then use Boot Camp assistant to remove Windows and the partition then again to recreate the Win partition in a larger size. After that install windows and then use the Win Clone software to restore Windows.

Partitioned with Disk Utility, during XP inst. desired partition N/A

Basic computer info: Macbook Pro 3,1 Leopard 1.5.1
I partitioned my computer into 4 separate partitions:
MacSys - 25gb, journaled, extended
LinSys - 12gb, journaled, extended
WINSYS - 14.86gb, fat32
HdaSys - 59.35gb, journaled, extended
So, 1 partition per OS, and a commonly accessible partition.
I used Disk Utility to do all this.
The problem is that with my XP Home SP2 disk, the WINSYS drive does not show up. Instead, it shows 1 large conglomerate partition, I believe as unpartitioned space (Don't write that last bit in stone, this is from retrospect)
What have I done wrong? I need some insight.
Thanks in advance.

lilwing wrote:
Ahh thanks, now I understand.
However, how can I have another partition for file storage/archiving which can be mountable from all other partitions? The njHdaSys would have problems, I would assume.
Due to the GUID/MBR Hybrid issues, you need to change your GPT disk setup/cration to this:
1: MacSys - 25gb, journaled, extended
2: HdaSys - 59.35gb, FAT32
3: WINSYS - 14.86gb, FAT32
4: LinSys - 12gb, FAT32
Then after using a tool that creates a hybrid MBR on your GPT disk (such as gptsync included with rEFIt or maybe some version of OSX's Disk Utility), your hybrid MBR (what Windows ONLY sees) will be:
1: EFI Protected
2: MacSys - 25gb, journaled, extended
3: HdaSys - 59.35gb, FAT32
4: WINSYS - 14.86gb, FAT32
(with LinSys not accessible (to Windows) and showing up as 'unallocated space', which you can't ever touch under Windows or you'll trash it.)
Now, with this setup:
1) your OSX HFS+ system partition has an MBR entry, so you'll be able to see and read it under Windows with the BootCamp 3.0 HFS+ file-system drivers.
2) your HdaSys storage partition has an MBR entry, so you'll be able to see and read it under Windows
3) your WINSYS volume with be the last partition which Bootcamp demands (or else you get the hall.sys error.)
Then, you can install Windows into WINSYS, reformating to NTFS during install.
Then, since Linux is GPT aware, you can install it into LinSys which doesn't have an MBR entry and is only GPT. (Depending upon your RAM, you might also want to have a SWAP partition after LinSys.) However, since Linux does require a BIOS/MBR boot in order to get full video support, during your Linux install, you need to install GRUB to the start of the HdaSys STORAGE partition -- then GRUB will boot off a BIOS/MBR partition, gaining video support, but can still point to the rest of the Linux install on the GPT partition.
Now, since the Mac startup selector will only give you a choice between OSX GPT volumes and 1 BIOS/MBR choice, you'll need to either setup Windows or GRUB to be your secondary OS chooser (between Windows and Linux), or use rEFIt to be the single startup chooser between OSX, Windows, and Linux instead.
