Formatting a HDD with the Solaris 8 install when the disk space is locked.

I added memory, a printer, and a CD Writer to my PC, and then I reinstalled solaris 8. At the point where it asks which drive to use, the only available drive, which is my C: drive, shows up with a negative disk space value. However, when I look at the partition size, it is 20 GB, and if I change it, it has no effect on the negative value. This is a reinstall of Solaris 8 onto the same drive. Is there a way to fdisk the drive. Solaris 8 won't do it, and Partition Magic seems to only work with linux, which does not seem compatible with Solaris?

  • Crystal reports 2008 install freezes on disk space req.

    Unable to install Crystal reports 2008 on server - Windows Server 2008 standard. This is required moving forward for troubleshooting purposes.
    The installation freezes when determining disk space requirements.
    I have tried copying the installation files locally to the server, but same issue occurs.
    I have confirmed I am a local administrator, and there are no policies preventing installation.
    I have installed this same software on other servers before.

    Thomas's reply also worked for me!  Here is the cut/paste excerpt from the link he provided that was the filnal solution, so you won't have to go to that link an read the entire post:
    go back to initial phases of the installation and add french into language packs.
    then pick custom installation.

  • Win 8.1 - solid HDD light on a W530 when the optical drive is closed

    Hello,
    I have a new W530 with Windows 8.1 on and a short time after boot or resume from standby, the HDD light will illuminate solidly (not flickering at all) with no disk activity to speak of showing in task manager.
    I have tried the usual steps of disabling superfetch, search indexing, av, etc. and nothing helps.  The only thing that does influence the light is whether the optical drive is closed or not.  With the drive open, the light behaves normally and reflects the peaks of activity shown in task manager.  The light going solid coincides with Windows turning off the Optical drive after start up when Zero Power ODD is enabled (the light still goes solid after a few seconds with Zero Power ODD disabled so may be related to some energy saving mode?).
    This behaivour is not exhibited in Windows 8, Ubuntu 14.04, FreeDOS or the Bios so does seem to be an oddity of 8.1 on the W530.  There appears to be no impact on performance of the system so it is more of an annoyance.
    I am wondering if anyone else has come across this and/or has any suggestions as I don't fancy siutting with my optical drive open all the time...
    Relevant specs are below:
    Intel i7-3740QM
    8GB RAM
    250GB Samsung 840 EVO mSATA SSD (OS drive & boot drive, hardware/eDrive encrypted with Bitlocker)
    500GB Hitachi Travelstar 7200RPM HDD
    Nvidia Quadro K1000M 2GB (running in Optimus with Intel HD Graphics)
    The laptop is configured with a static 1GB page file on the SSD and a static 36GB page file on the HDD.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok, a bit of progress... For some reason, The SATA controller had been set to Compatability in the Bios rather than AHCI. Doing a fresh build with AHCI enabled did not exhibit the solid light when the Lenovo Settings Dependency Package was installed
    Restoring my system image and then going through the process of enabling AHCI after a windows 8.1 install has solved the issue.
    So, lesson learned - AHCI is needed in this config unless a solid HDD light is wanted. Obviously this is a bug, what is the best way to report it to Lenovo officially?

  • I format a cell with a double line at the bottom and it appears until I move to another cell and the formatting is lost.

    In Numbers, I format a cell with a double line at the bottom and it appears until I clik on another cell and then it disappears.

    When you describe the "double" line are you talking about something like this?
    If so this is only selecting an edge of a cell.  You still have to select:
    1) Line style using the menu to the right of the one I have circled (currently  "Thin")
    2) Line width using the menu to the right of the previous one and, finally,
    3) the line color using the menu to the right of the previous one
    Even so I have not found a way to copy cell border formatting so I ALWAYS wait until the very end to add border formatting.

    You need to discard or save to an external disk and then discard some of the stuff we all tend to keep forever (movies, music, pictures, docs, apps no longer used, etc.). A clogged up disk also does not function ideally either.

    SP1 does not get installed when the machine is set to Japanese Language, software push through sccm 2012 , it does gets installed of installed manually, by remoting into the machine

    Hi Friends,
    we are deploying the SP1 via SCCM 2012 , and the success rate is around 50 %, its a Light touch installation where user will initiate the installation via Software Center ( Web based )
    i was able to gather few errors , and this are the errors which failed during SP1 Installation 0x800f0828,
    some errors which sccm reports display are 
    11171
    10008
    10021-
    17031 - 
    1602 - User Cancelled installation
    113 - No more internal file identifiers available
    10070 - File handle reference is no longer available
    10050 - A socket operation encountered a dead network
    11170  - The task sequence manager could not successfully complete execution of the task sequence
    i could not find the reason for some of the errors, also i am looking for a fix/woraround if any
    Also i have noticed that in few computers the task seq failed at a place where after the sp1 installation a reboot happens and then PGP BYPASS utility is uninstalled, it did not start the PGP bypass uninstall after reboot
    is there a way to cut short the Task seq and keep it simple ?
    right now its like this 
    1. checking for prerequisite : checks for OS Name and OS version
    2. installs PGP Bootgaurd Bypass
    3. System Restart
    4. Installing Windows 7 Service Pack 1
    5. Final Restart
    6. uninstall PGP Bootgaurd Bypass

    It wont fix your problem, but help us both, in troubleshooting, and reducing frivolous suggestions.
    If your report says high Realloc or Pending Sector, then it's time to have your hardisk replaced.

    I would like to inquire about how I could have my iPad 2 repaired or replaced. I bought it With a credit card via apple store website last June 19 of this year. At first, I already noticed a little white spot in the middle of the screen visible when the display on screen is dark. I thought this was okay. Now, My problem with it is that, it now has green discolorations at the center whenever the screen display is black or dark I.e. When a website's color is black or dark or whenever I go to the search interface.
    I am from the Philippines.
    Please attend to this inquiry as promptly as possible. I'm sorry I have to send it here since I cannot see any email or inquiry page on the apple website. I also cannot reach the toll free number on my mobile phone.
    Thank you very much.

    when trying to sync my iphone in itunes i keep getting the error message "itunes cannot sync apps because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined." can anyone explain what this means?

    I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps.  I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps.  I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

  • Why do all my pictures transfer to my macbook with only 72 res. when the pixel availability on i phone is high?

    Why do all my pictures from my i phone transfer to my macbook with only 72 resolution when the pixel availability is high?

    The iPhone 4 has a 5 megapixel rear facing camera; the iPhone 3 has a 3 megapixel camera.  Your example shows a pixel density of 2.5 megapixels (1322 X 1866 = 2,466,852).  If this was from the iPhone 3 it's not that far out of line, especially if it was "optimized" during transfer.  You can still use Photoshop to increase the dpi above 72.  Just resize the picture to 260 dpi without resampling.  The physical size of the photo will shrink but it will produce photo quality prints.  If they aren't clear, that's probably a focus/lighting issue.

    Same issue. Is this a new bug with iTunes 10.5.1??
