How to boot up in a partition

I recently created a partition on my mac, how can i run it to install Os Tiger, i currently have lion

Boot from your Tiger installer DVD. When you are ready to select a destination click on the icon for your desired partition. Then install Tiger.
To boot from the partition restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Click on the icon for the Tiger volume then click on the corresponding arrow button.
Restarting the computer will return you to your Lion system.

Does anyone knows how to restore the boot feature of the service / recovery partition ?
I did a Windows 7 RC install and it seems to have disable booting to the recovery partition. I can see that both the SERVICEV003 and Lenovo partition are still there.
Thanks.

Help please: how to boot from clone/external hard drive because "disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved"?

MBP Retina 15" MID 2014 2.5Ghz
OS X Yosemite 10.10
I have a external HDD and want to erase and restore my laptop so I can install windows via Bootcamp Assistant but I don't know how to boot from a clone to fix the issue and am not sure if when I erase and restore I will still have Yosemite 10.10? I have no way to reinstall the OS if I lose it. An average user friendly guide would be greatly appreciated please

I do not think you have to erase your MacBook's disk in order to install Windows. First of all you can try a few things before formatting the disk.
The first thing you should do is to check that your MacBook Pro's drive is OK with Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities). After opening it, choose "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar and press "Verify Disk". If it gives you any error, you will have to boot your Mac in OS X Recovery (press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up) to repair Macintosh HD (the steps are the same but pressing "Repair Disk" instead of "Verify Disk").
After you have repaired the drive, boot up in OS X and try partitioning the drive again with Boot Camp Assistant. If it does not work, you will have to format the drive and reinstall OS X, but I will give you these steps only if this does not work.

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".

How can I remove the BootCamp partition? as the size i created ws too small to install MS Office on 64Bit Windows 8.1 on MacBook Pro (Aug'13)

How can I remove the BootCamp partition drive for Windows 8.1, as the size which I created was too small for me to install Microsoft Office onto Windows 8.1 64-BIt. The machine which I have is the MacBook Pro 13' inch purchased in August 2013.

Either use Paragon's CampTuneX to resize it or use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition and restore the drive to one partition. Then create a new, larger Boot Camp partition. This will remove/delete/erase your Windows system.

How do I share an lvm partition between two systems?

Hi,
I have a regular system which I usually work from, and I created a lvm partition using that system to store files in. I have another Arch system on the same harddrive (different partition) and I would like to know how I can access the lvm partition using the second system.
I have the following in my new system
/dev/sda8 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda9 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda5 /mnt/arch ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/boot ext2 defaults 0 0
/dev/sda6 /mnt/arch-home reiserfs defaults 0 0
/dev/ravilvg/lvmpartition /mnt/lvmpartition reiserfs defaults,users 0 0
When I try to mount '/mnt/lvmpartition', I get
[root@myhost ravi]# mount /mnt/lvmpartition/
mount: special device /dev/ravilvg/lvmpartition does not exist
I have put USELVM="yes" in my rc.conf, and on bootup I get the message that Device mapper is not in the kernel. 'lsmod' shows the dm_mod module is not loaded, but loading the module and running the mount command still does not work.
Here are the outputs of the lvm commands
[root@myhost ravi]# lvm pvscan
PV /dev/sda10 VG ravilvg lvm2 [24.20 GB / 0 free]
Total: 1 [24.20 GB] / in use: 1 [24.20 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]
[root@myhost ravi]# lvm vgscan
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "ravilvg" using metadata type lvm2
[root@myhost ravi]# lvm lvscan
inactive '/dev/ravilvg/lvmpartition' [24.20 GB] inherit
Thanks,
Ravster

Hi,
You were right, the solution was to simply activate the volume
What I did was
lvm lvchange -ay /dev/ravilvg/lvmpartition
The lvm partition is now accesible from both systems
Thanks for your help,
Ravster

How do I set up and partition a new HD ?

If I put a new HD into an old machine, will it just offer me the option to partition it after it powers on, or do I have to do something more technical to partition that drive. I am under the impression that having a large HD partitioned will help me to back up my OS in one of the large partitions, in case the first one fails, and I can't boot from that damaged partition. Sort of, if #1 fails, then boot from #2 or #3.
Is this correct or no? How do I do it? What is the BEST method for having a dual boot system, or backing up my entire system to boot from an external drive ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well, yes, but what if the entire drive fails? Then you lose your primary boot vollume as well as your backup(s). If your intention is protection of your data and being able to boot your computer and access your data in case of a failure, a better strategy would be to backup to an external HDD, or better, to clone the entire volume on your internal HDD to an external firewire HDD, or, indeed, two separate external HDDs. Many of us maintain two or three separate backup/clones which we rotate so that we can more reliably protect our data.

Boot Camp forgot how to boot

Im getting "no bootable device" (or something close to this). It's flipping weird so let's start with a chain of events.
I must install WinXP via an external LaCie d2 USB/FW device. This thing can boot off Leopard install DVD just fine. It used to be able to boot off Win XP install DVD just fine too. The later capability evaporated in mid air or something else equally senseless.
1- use Boot Camp Assistant to partition HDD then start installation.
2- Windows did it's thing just fine up to the first reboot.
3- Windows can't boot allegedly because of this: (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1722?viewlocale=en_US)
4- Start over from scratch.
5- used Boot Camp Assistant to partition HDD then start installation.
6- no can do.
It forgot how to boot off the Windows DVD. It lost the capability right there. I get either: (paraphrased) "No bootable device found. Press any key to continue" or the blank grey screen. There is no key that does anything. It's dead, Jim. I must shutdown the mac by holding the power button long enough then hold option down to select Mac. OK.
What is going on? I went as far as re-flashing the DVD firmware. It's all dandy in there. Nothing to report.
What am I supposed to do now?
Pretty please...
confusingly yours,
Andrew from Canada

OK. A bit more infos as well as a bump.
The WinXP disk show up in boot camp when connected via FW then Windows can't use FW to boot so it's pointless...
It does not show up in boot camp when connected via USB.
I know it can boot from USB because it already did that once.. This is also the official procedure for installing Windows into a Macbook Air. So there
It forgot how... or it villainy refuse to.
Come on guys, throw me a bone here. At least one of you must have a clue...

How to install os9 on separate partition alongside os 10.3?

Hi - I would like to know how to install os9.2.2 on a separate partition (with os10.3 on the other) so I can boot in REAL os9 (not classic) to use pro tools free which will not run on classic - (my old g3 I used this for has died) - I have recovered the hard disc contents and what I really want to do is just copy the entire 0s9 system (without having to reinstall it) to a partition - I know how to reboot the machine into os x (hold down x key during start up), but;
1) - can I boot the os 9 partition and if so how?
2) - will this work? - I remember someone telling me it was possible a few years ago, I just can't remember who -
any help greatly appreciated
Thanks!
James

Hi, l. No Aluminum Powerbook can boot into straight OS 9, so you'll have to a) use Pro Tools Free in Classic mode, b) get an older OS-9-bootable computer to run it on, c) buy the real Pro Tools to run on your top-of-the-line computer, or d) use some other application instead.
No Mac has ever been able to boot into an older OS version than the one(s) that were installed on it at the factory.

How can I increase the C partition space?

Hello! I have an internal hard drive used on my Windows 7computer and also has divided it into four partitions, C, D, E and F. Under Disk Management, I was able to shrink the E partition well. But when I went to extend the C partition
space there, it just didn’t let me do that (that “Extend” option just cannot be chosen). How do I extend my C partition space successfully?

Hi,
To use the "Extend Volum" option, you need a unallocated space available as a the snapshot below:
Here's a guide for reference
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mghazai/archive/2009/02/24/extend-system-boot-volume-on-windows-server-2008-windows-vista-win7-beta.aspx
we should shrink the neighboring partition to release unallocated space
if error persists, please paste the GUI snapshot of your disk management here for further analysis.

"Start Idle Timer Stopped" How to boot Mac Mini?

I was following Apple's procedure to setup Boot Camp - I had partitioned the drive on my Mac Mini, installed Mac OS X 10.4 and was setting about the upgrade it to Leopard, when it crashed with the prompt:
localhost:/root# CSRHIDTransitionDriver::stop
IOBluetoothHCIController::Start Idle Timer Stopped
No mater if I started by resetting the parameter RAM, Safe boot (Shift Key), Option key, or from the System DVD (C Key), it came up withe the same message. It is a command prompt - and I can do a "reboot" command (with the same result). I did a "/sbin/fsk -fy" and the disk checked out okay.
Any ideas on what I might do to get this thing going again? How can I get it to actually boot, either from the hard drive or the system DVD?

I also reset the System Management Controller:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446
...and tried booting diagnostics (D Key), both also to no avail.

How do I create 2 Recovery partitions: one for Lion and one for Mountain Lion?

Well that is basically the question:
How do I create 2 recovery partitions: one for Lion and one for Mountain Lion?
Reason is that I would like to keep the option to return to Lion, or even better, have a seperate partition for eacht?

can I access my programs from the other partition, so I can save space ...
No, as far as I know, each one is completely separate - especially if you're dealing with two different versions of OS's.
is it possible to safely make an extra partion on a running drive (it is my main computer ...) The disk is large enough ...
how large would this have to be
I've personally never done it on a running drive - have read it's possible, but don't want to suggest it since I've never done it and wouldn't be sure about the steps. This is how I got to two partitions on my iMac:
Originally, I had just one partition with Snow Leopard. I used CCC to clone that to an external drive. Booted into that drive and used DU to partition and erase the internal. I then cloned the new clone back. Also cloned the same thing to the other partition which I then upgraded to Lion. So I had two OS's - SL and Lion. I've now decided to clone my SL to an external drive for occasional use and installed ML on that partition - so now I have Lion and ML.
There are two ways to get a "fresh" install: either download the OS again and install it on a partition of your choice or, as I've done as well, copy the installer to a safe place so you don't need to download it again. It does include whatever apps/software is included in the OS. I've designated two smaller partitions on externals as my "fresh" installs of both Lion and ML for emergency or reinstall purposes (this is my way of dealing with not having install DVDs) - I took the time to install it there and then slowly add fresh installs of my important apps (either via download or install CD) - don't bother with the little/less used stuff, a current copy of that can be downloaded if and when I need it. I don't really update those two - that can also be done if/when I need it since that'll always change.
So, yesterday, I decided I wanted to start fresh with ML - booted into my fresh install of Lion (on external), wiped the SL partition on my internal and installed Lion. Decided to download a fresh copy of the ML installer and installed that. Then ran Software Update. After that, repaired permissions. Then I methodically opened every third party app and checked for updates - installed those where necessary. After all that, I simply copied (drag 'n drop) my entire Documents folder (which contains all my important data,, photos, etc) over from another backup.
This took a while, but mostly because of the long download times; the installs weren't all that bad. I should be running a really clean system now, especially since nothing was ported over except my Documents folder.

How to boot leopard from cd?

Hey guys,
Maybe a silly question, but I need to know how to boot leopard from its insallation dvd, is that possible?
I would like to boot my mac from dvd, so that i can then use the disk utility to partition my internal hard drive, and i think this is only possible if you dont boot from the hd it self.
Obviously I am able to boot from the dvd in the way that it starts the leopard installation, but thats not what i need i guess? at least when the installation start, i dont see an option to start disk utility from there?
so i need to actually boot the system from the dvd, in order to partition "on the fly" without losing the data on my disk.
I hope someone knows.
thanks in advance.
cheers,

Hi,
Boot from the Install disc. Select the Language. Then as soon as the menu bar appears you'll see a Utilities Menu. Select Disk Utility from there.
cheers
