How do you create a windows partition?

I have a conference call with a microsoft program. I was told that I need to create a windows partition. How do I do this??
Thank you!

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.
Open Boot Camp Assistant in the Utilities folder. In the opening window click on the Print documentation button. Read documentation carefully then proceed to use Boot Camp Assistant to create your Windows partition if that's what you choose to do.

    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".

    I have an HP EliteBook 2760p using Windows 7 - 64-bit Professional
    My original problem is that I couldn't create the Repair Disc
    I found out that the problem was with a file that was on the recovery partition

    If you do a factory restore using HP recovery discs it will put everything back including recovery partition. I don't know if any way to manually re-create the recovery partition.
    NOTE: back up your files as Factory Restore wipes ALL data.

  • How do you create an AcrobatXI zip file in windows 8.1?

    How do you create an AcrobatXI zip file in windows 8.1? from acrobat.com docs?  Sorry Not sure what community to ask this in this community?  The email provider I was using didn''t seem to want to accept it through Adobe Send the first time and since Adobe Send ends January 6, I am assuming a zip file is preferable..  I thought I had seen an Adobe Zip file somewhere but haven't been able to locate it. Any help appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Sherrie

    Hi Sherrie L,
    Adobe Send is Adobe's current solution for sending large files. (It's Adobe SendNow that's retiring soon.) Can you tell us what trouble you were running into using Adobe Send?
    There isn't a special version of Zip files for Acrobat, but you could reduce the PDF file size if you have Acrobat. Or, in Windows, you can create a Zip file by choosing File > Send to > Compressed (Zipped) Folder.
    Best,

    I start BootCamp Assistant.
    The first point, is grey. i can't activate it. This point is to create a Windows 7 Install Disk
    Second Point is to download the drivers and so on. This is working. I have the stuff on a usb stick.
    Third Point is to create/install Windows 7. So, i have the posibility to decide how big i want my windows partition. 20-32 GB.
    when i click on create button. There comes a pop up "Installtions CD is not found"
    I have a bootable Windows 7 USB Stick (8 GB - Fat32). The Stick works. When i boot with refit from the stick, the Windows 7 installation starts. But without a partition ... not so good :-)
    So, what can i do now? BootCamp don`t want the Windows USB Stick.

  • How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide show with Photoshop Elements 8?

    I have a banner for a web page that measures 800 x 200 pixels. I would like to create a slide show in the whole volume but I have been unable to discover where to change the standard size of the slide show window to 800x200 in Elements 8. Can anyone help?
    Al

    Many thanks for your reply. I edited a series of photographs to 800x200 as
    you described and then attempted to create a slideshow in Slideshow editor.
    I get a good horizontal fit in the slide frame but there are black bars top
    and bottom since the frame is more than 200 pix high. My question really is
    how do I create a 800x200 slide frame that the edited photographs will fit.
    Subject: How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide
    show with Photoshop Elements 8?
    In the slideshow editor interface click once on your image in the main
    window - you will see a bounding box appear together with editing options.
    Click on the More Editing button and when your image opens in full edit
    select the crop tool.
    Set width to 800 px and height to 200 px and resolution to 72
    Drag out your crop rectangle and move your image to the position you want -
    this avoids image distortion but you will sacrifice parts of the original to
    create a banner.
    Press Ctrl=S to save and check version set to save an edit without affecting
    the original.
    Press Ctrl+W to close and your cropped image should automatically pop up in
    the slideshow editor.

  • Re: How do you create and use "common" type classes?

    Hi,
    You have 2 potential solutions in your case :
    1- Sub-class TextNullable class of Framework and add your methods in the
    sub-class.
    This is the way Domain class work. Only Nullable classes are sub-classable.
    This is usefull for Data Dictionary.
    The code will be located in any partition that uses or references the supplier
    plan.
    2- Put your add on code on a specific class and instanciate it in your user
    classes (client or server).
    You could also use interface for a better conception if needed. The code will
    also be in any partition that uses or references the supplier plan where your
    add on class is located.
    If you don't want that code to be on each partition, you could use libraries :
    configure as library the utility plan where is your add-on class.
    You can find an example of the second case (using a QuickSort class,
    GenericArray add-on) with the "QuickSort & List" sample on my personal site

    Hi Richard,
    Your question about "utility classes" brings up a number of issues, all of
    which are important to long-term success with Forte.
    There is no such thing as a static method (method that is associated with a
    class but without an implicit object reference - this/self/me "pointer") in
    TOOL, nor is there such thing as a global method (method not associated
    with a class at all). This is in contrast to C++, which has both, and
    Java, which has static methods, but not global classes. Frequently, Forte
    developers will write code like this:
    result, num : double;
    // get initial value for num....
    tmpDoubleData : DoubleData = new;
    tmpDoubleData.DoubleValue = num;
    result = tmpDoubleData.Sqrt().DoubleValue;
    tmpDoubleData = NIL; // send a hint to the garbage collector
    in places where a C++ programmer would write:
    double result, num;
    // get initial value for num....
    result = Math::Sqrt(num);
    or a Java programmer would write:
    double result, num;
    // get initial value for num....
    result = Math.sqrt(num);
    The result of this is that you end up allocating an extra object now and
    then. In practice, this is not a big deal memory-wise. If you have a
    server that is getting a lot of hits, or if you are doing some intense
    processing, then you could pre-allocate and reuse the data object. Note
    that optimization has its own issues, so you should start by allocating
    only when you need the object.
    If you are looking for a StringUtil class, then you will want to use an
    instance of TextData or TextNullable. If you are looking to add methods,
    you could subclass from TextNullable, and add methods. Note that you will
    still have to instantiate an object and call methods on that object.
    The next issue you raise is where the object resides. As long as you do
    not have an anchored object, you will always have a copy of an object on a
    partition. If you do not pass the object in a call to another partition,
    the object never leaves. If you pass the object to another partition, then
    the other partition will have its own copy of the object. This means that
    the client and the server will have their own copies, which is the effect
    you are looking for.
    Some developers new to Forte will try to get around the lack of global
    methods in TOOL by creating a user-visible service object and then calling
    methods on it. If you have a general utility, like string handling, this
    is a bad idea, since a service object can reside only on a single
    partition.
    Summary:
    * You may find everything you want in TextData.
    * Unless you anchor the object, the instance will reside where you
    intuitively expect it.
    * To patch over the lack of static methods in TOOL, simply allocate an
    instance when required.
    Feel free to email me if you have more questions on this.

  • How do you create a custom Photograph folder

    If you have a webcam configured to PhotoBooth then you have a 'PhotoBooth' folder which is in the file system (under the current users 'Pictures' folder) and is visible in iMovie.
    Now if I create a folder on the same level as the 'PhotoBooth' folder (ie again under the active users Pictures folder) then iMovie cannot see it but if I create a folder within the 'PhotoBooth' folder then iMovie can see it... I hope this makes sense.
    So my question is, how do you create a folder in the file system which is visible from iMovie? or how do you add custom folders to the Photographs window in iMovie?
