HELP! two drives, two partitions - installation question

Hello!
I have two 1.2 G hard drives in my box.
One of them (hda1) mount point / contains: Linux, 805ship[1-
7].tar files and product of their expansion: directories such as
orainst, plsql, jdbc etc.
Second drive (hdc1) mount point /u01 is empty but I want install
oracle 8.0.5 as well small sample database on it.
I set env variables and I've done everything up to the point
when I am supposed to run ./orainst.
How to "tell" orainst to place the above mentioned installation
on my second drive (hdc1).
Thanks,

Once you start the "./orainst", it will ask where ORACLE_BASE and
where ORACLE_HOME will reside. At this point you can tell it to
put it on your second hard drive. Before you do this however,
you will need to create the directory structure and make it rwx
by oracle or whatever account is going to own the directory
structure.
Good Luck

Macbook Pro 10.7.5, need to clone hard drive with two partitions?

I have a Macbook Pro running 10.7.5. I have two partitions on the current 750GB drive and just purchased a Samsung 750GB SSD. I want to do an exact clone to the new drive but am struggling with the fact that I have two partitions on the current drive and seemingly all the advice talks about cloning the Macintosh HD only.
I need to clone both partitions to the new SSD. I can't, don't want to, reinstall anything.
Is there a way to clone the entire drive, not just the boot partition?
Thanks!!!

...Weird as all the word on the internet is how difficult it is to clone the Win installation, am I missing something?...
When cloning difficulties with Win installations are discussed, it's almost always Boot Camp. Virtual Machines are just really big files which can be copied and moved like any other file (though Parallels or VMware Fusion will detect that and ask if you've copied or moved the file and getting the answer right is important). That's just one of the many virtues of virtual machines - easy cloning and duplication.
... All reports show the EVO as the faster of the two drives but I swear the M500 is much faster on my desktop (Win7 Pro) than the EVO was. I mean they both are fast but, as an example, launching DVD Profiler Pro with over 4,000 entries would take the EVO 19 seconds or so, but the M500 does it in about 13 seconds...
That is puzzling because looking at this review for example, the Samsung does come in ahead of the M500 most of the time.
...Do you have any other advice to ensure I'm getting the most out of the SSD and my Macbook, 10.7.5?...
Normally I'd suggest activating TRIM but you've already done that. And while any update would disable TRIM, if you're using TRIM Enabler, that pops up to let you know TRIM needs to be turned on again. But since you've reached the end of the update line with Lion, that only applies if you move to Mountain Lion or Mavericks. However, if you're booting from a different drive to work on the SSD, TRIM needs to be enabled on that drive too. Even if it's a HD, the OS will use TRIM on the SSD you're working on.
The only thing that comes to mind is not to fill the SSD to the brim with files. There are fundamental differences between SSD's and hard disks and for best performance, that needs to be respected. This discussion goes into some detail so you can appreciate what the SSD controller has to do.

Create two partitions on one hard drive?

Hi
I have an external hard drive I want to use for both PC and Mac.
Can somebody please help me on how to create two partitions on the hard drive, one with Mac extended format and one with NTFS format.
Many thanks

Alternatively (my usual approach): Format the Windows partition to FAT then when you bring it to a windows machine, format the partition to NTFS.
No need to format to NTFS, you can convert to NTFS with no destruction of data.
Just format to FAT in Disk Utility, then when accessing the FAT drive in WIndows:
*To convert a volume to NTFS from the command prompt*
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456984.aspx
Open Command Prompt. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
*In the command prompt window, type: convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs*
For example, typing convert D: /fs:ntfs would format drive D: with the ntfs format. You can convert FAT or FAT32 volumes to NTFS with this command.

I have a 15" MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion installed. I have partitioned the hard drive into two partitions. Is it possible to install Snow Leopard on the second partition? If so how do I do it?

I have a 15" MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion installed. I have partitioned the hard drive into two partitions. Is it possible to install Snow Leopard on the second partition? If so how do I do it?

If your MacBook Pro had Snow Leopard on it at one time then sure. (Early 2011 or earlier)
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
Obviously choose the second partition to install into. It has to be OS X Extended journaled formatted in Disk Utility (BootCamp software makes it a MSDOS/FAT32 formatted partition if you used that to partition with)
If it's a Early 2011 or Late 2011 that came with 10.7, it's possible, but it's not easy.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3264421?start=0&tstart=0
If you can't install Snow Leopard, there is a thread over at MacRumors how to run Snow Leopard in a virtual machine program under 10.7 or 10.8

How Will Yosemite Logical Volume Group Affect Two-Partition Drive?

After installing Yosemite, my Macintosh HD became a Logical Volume Group. Now, in Disk Utility, both the Drive and the Volume have the same name — Macintosh HD. I want to use one of two partitions on an extra internal drive in my Mac Pro (Mid 2010) as a bootable clone of my Yosemite startup drive, using SuperDuper!. When cloning is complete, will my spare drive become a Logical Volume Group with a renamed drive? Will that effect the other partition, which is a bootable Mavericks clone?

Thanks for the tip. I see its a common trouble. But i stuck a problem that cannot be solved with this method cause i dont have revertable logic volume.
SO i cannot install system now. There's no visible disk any more.

We have created two partitions in removable drive(USB). One of the partition is active and the other is hidden. We are trying to acess the hidden partition in Win PE 3.0 environment using WMI

We have created two partitions in removable drive(USB). One of the partition is active and the other is hidden. We are trying to access the hidden partition in Win PE 3.0 environment using WMI. VBScript code snippet used to detect the partitions is given
below:-
SetobjWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:"_&
"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\"&
strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
SetcolDisks = objWMIService.ExecQuery
Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk")
It will return the partition which is active but fails to list the partition which is hidden. The same piece of code was supported on WinPE 2.0

I am giving the complete code, may be you are able to understand better. We are using Win32_LogicalDisk to retrieves the complete information of all the drives (like C:, D:) including removable drives.

I have a MBP and have used boot camp to make two partitions. I screwed up and reformatted the PC side. I'm trying to use boot camp to get to the pc side now and it says it can't. I have to download some helps for windows. I did that, but it still won'

Then... I tried to reformat using the start up disk and reloaded everything. When I tried to use boot camp I still get the same message. When I check disk utility, I still show two partitions...same as before... I just can't use the pc side. What's up, please?

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
I am running Yosemitie on a iMac.

How to have two partitions in windows 7 using bootcamp?

Hello everybody,
I've just recently bought a new MacBook Pro, I'm not very familirar with Macintosh. I installed windows 7 using bootcamp but the problem is that I just can see one partition in which I've installed windows.
actually, I want to partition my 500GB disk to three different partitions as following:
1) 70GB for Mac
2) 80GB for Windows
3) 350GB for Data
so that I can have third partition both in Mac and Win.
I searched internet and I found a few documents about it and I followed the instructions but I had no luck of success. one of the instructions I tried is: http://davidseah.com/index-ee.php/wikilab/Creating-2-Windows-Partitions-with-Boo t-Camp/
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

1: Those instructions at the link are severely outdated. Don't use them.
2: Apple expects users to have one Bootcamp partition, one OS X Lion partition and that's it and that's all they are going to hold your hand on.
(note: there is also a hidden EFI and a Lion Recovery Partition also on the drive.)
Anything beyond that is getting into major geek terror-tory.
Of course it's possible, I had my 15" with 7 partitions and booting 4 other operating systems from Lion, Snow, Windows, Linux (with a Linux Swap and a exFAT data). But I had to wipe the entire drive, set up the partitions install a alternate EFI boot program (a program that resides in firrmware) and then install each OS in each partition.
Since your new to Mac, you should really hold onto Apple's hand and use either a external drive formatted either FAT32(MSDOS) for under 4 GB files sizes (preferred) or exFAT for over 4GB files (not preferred but necessary) in Apple's Disk Utility.
Windows is as you know, formatted NTFS and OS X is formatted HFS+ Journaled as their partition data formats.
There is software for Windows called MacDrive which will read and write HFS format, and there is software from Tuxera that will allow OS X to read NTFS format.
There is a security issue allowing Windows to read HFS, but that should do transferring the small amount of files your going to be using in both operating systems.
OS X, like Windows, is going to expect files to be in each respective User folders of Music, Pictures and so forth when you open save dialog boxes, open finder windows, open certain programs and so forth. So ideally it's not best to share a partition or really have the user data on another partition at all.
I know it's a practice on Windows machines to partition data away from boot/programs to reduce defragmentation, on OS X it's not as necessary (except in special cases) as all 2GB sized files and below are written to one space on the drive (if there is room of course)
Windows 7 still needs to be defragged, however it can be schedualed and you can watch the progress. If you install WIndows, perform all the updates, then install programs, then finally any files you do keep there, it should stay optimized for a quite awhile. Ditton on the OS X side.
If your going to sharing a grreat quantity of files between the two OS's, use a external drive.
Apple installs a hybrid MBR in the Bootcamp partition for Windows to use to interact with the GUID partition table (GPT) it uses.

How to merge two partitions on lion

Hello everyone.
I have a big problem... I want to merge two partitions... (I know, disk utility...).
In fact, I can't merge a partion which looks locked, with my lion partition via disk utility.
On this locked partition I had my old snow leopard OS still installed before deleting it, I wanted at th begining just try lion, and do a fresh install. (which is donenow)
Some more informations for you :
I have windows 7 via bootcamp installed.
Also, I have a save of my booting partition on time machine.
Thanks for your help
Darklink
ps : I'm french, so, sorry for mistackes

Even if software is going to make it happen, you are still faced with the possibility of power failure in the process, which would wipe the entire drive in one swoop if it happens at the wrong time. Better to clone both partitions to a larger hard drive, and then erase, repartition, and copy back over the boot data first, and import the rest by hand.

Two node installation with 2 concurrent managers..

Need your help. I have 12.1.1 Two node installation on Linux 5.9 with 64 bit.
Linux2- Database server + Concurrent manager
Linux1- Apps Node
Port - 8002 (port pool -2)
on my app node - linux1, I have 2 directories <SID>_linux1 and <SID>_linux2. First one is for primary apps node and second one is for 2nd concurrent manager. It is a shared directory structure. I have 2 questions:
1) If I run the autoconfig on Linux1, I can run all the services and connect to apache. However, If I run the autconfig on linux2, I will not be able to connect to web server (for a short time request will be sent to Linux1 and then it gets forwarded to Linux2 - even though Linux2 is not app server).
2) How do I run the second concurrent manager on LInux2? After I run the 2 concurrent manager, how do I test both concurrent managers are working?
Your help is much appreciated.

Hi Hussein,
Thank you for the info. I was wondering whether the Linux2 concurrent manager was installed correctly or not. I went to xml file and found these entries and it made me think, it didn't install correctly because only concurrent manager should have been yes and the rest should be no. Isn't it? If it is wrong, how do I correct this?

Can I combine two partitions without losing data on one?

So if I have two partitions on one hard drive can I combine them without losing the data that is on one of them? If not, could I just do a time machine backup, combine the two partitions, and then restore the time machine backup? Would that work?

If the other partition was created with BootCamp it can be deleted in Bootcamp and merged back into OS X.
It might be possible to rename the partition "BOOTCAMP" in Disk Utility and formatted MSDOS to trick Boot Camp into thinking it is a Bootcamp parititon and merging it back into OS X. (haven't tried this so I don't know if it works or not yet) I would first make a clone below before attempting this method.
TimeMachine restores are fraught with problems on these forums.
What I would do in your case is use another equal or larger sized (than your primary boot drive), blank, Disk Utility HFS+Journaled formatted, external powered drive to Carbon Copy Clone your OS X boot partition to it, then Disk Utility > Repair Permissions on both (you can ignore the list that shows).
What this does is gives you a "hold the option key" bootable clone, which while booted from it, check it out first and then use Disk Utility to completey (select the hard drive name) format the entire primary boot drive (HFS+ Journaled of course).
Then simply CCC back onto the primary boot drive. Then run ALL of OnyX's maintainence and cleaning aspects and reboot. Speedy machine here we come. (note: Cloning optimizes the drive by the order of the alphabetical order files in the Root Level, leaving "Users" last where the most change and slowdown in drive performance occurs, OnyX cleans out the caches and rebuilds Spotlight, more performance)
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
The new version of CCC has gotten a bit more complicated, including a archiving of files changed from between updated clones, however the default settings are fine for your first time clone to a blank drive. So all you really have to do is select the "From" and "To" drives and click Clone.
Clones are wonderful, it's a exact copy of whats on your primary boot drive, so far in the many years I've used clones everything has worked on the same machine, everything.
TimeMachine drives are not bootable, leaving you stuck if your hard drive dies or you can't boot from the OS X install disks.
You can first make a clone so you have that method, then c boot off the 10.6 installer disk and use TimeMachine that way to restore to the newly formatted drive (use Disk Utility under the Utilities menu, second screen in) I haven't tried this myself, prefering clones instead as it's less headaches.
Remmeber to ALWAYS have two backups of your data at all times, (erasing your drive leaves you with only one copy) in this case you would have a clone and a TM backup, in case one method fails (less likely the clone), then you got the other method.

Two Partition Limit on 2 TB External List?

I formatted a 2 TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim portable drive as MacOs Journal Extended Journaled (Encrypted). I tried to create four partitions on the drive, but got a message stating that not more than two partitions could be created. I've never run into this before. Any ideas? Seagate was no help. Thanks.

UPDATE FROM OP:
Figuring I ran into some fluke, I took Barney's advice and started over. This time, I formatted the drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - i.e., no encryption. I was able to create three partitions in the normal fashion without a problem. I attempted to encrypt the three partitions from the Finder but received the following error message: "A Recovery System for the targeted disk is required."
So I erased the drive again and formatted it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted). Once again, I was unable to create more than two partitions. Specifically, one partition was created by default and the number of possible partitions in the dropdown menu was limited to two. The following message appeared: "You may only split this partition into two. To do this, click +."
Congratulations to me - I was able to reproduce my original problem. For some reason, encryption seems to stymie my efforts to create more than two partitions on this drive. Any further ideas?

Merging two partitions

hi
i used bootcamp to partition by hard drive into two.
and while installing ubuntu i converted the fat32 to ext3
and then i wanted to remove ubuntu from my macbook,
i thought bootcamp will detect ext3 but it didn't,
so i went back to ubuntu and converted the ext3 to fat32 using gparted.
then came back to mac os and started bootcamp and thought it will restore the fat32 to hfs partition but it says " the disk is already partitioned for windows and cannot re-partition it again",
so i used the disk utility to convert the fat32 to hfs+ partition,
now my macbook has two hfs+ partitions, i want to merge these two partitions.
can anyone suggest me how to merge two hfs partitions.
is there any freeware which can do this job?
or any licensed software that can do this?
or can the provided disk utility do this?

Hi,
Mac has a very useful utility accessible from Terminal. I personally find it much better that the GUI Diskutility.
Start up Terminal in Utilities, and type "diskutil help" w/o the quotation marks. You will get a comprehensive list of items which you can do with your disk/volume. I have used it to create, delete, merge, resize volumes/partitions without losing data. Nevertheless you should always backup before venturing. Hope this helps.

I have an old G3 I would like to donate, but I have forgotten my password and cannot erase the two partitions on my disk.

I have an old G3 I would like to donate, but I have forgotten my admin password and cannot erase the two partitions on my disk. I have the CD for 10.3.9 that one partition is running but when I boot from the CD, it wants to set up by connecting to the internet and I cannot connect on the old machine.
I've tried several schemes by logging in with command s and carefully typing directions, but when I reboot it just gives me the old admin.
It keeps trying to connect to network which I do not want to do.
I guess no one really wants an old G3 but I used it for years and I hate to destroy it.

Sure you can.
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
No password is required for this unless you set up a firmware password.
