I'm not an expert, but I partitioned the C: drive and made a partition for Windows 8. It worked perfectly as a multi-boot setup.
A word of caution...Make sure that you want to make it a permanent change. When I removed the Win 8 partition and tried to restore my system to factory settings, I could not get the F2 during restart to work. F2 now brings up the multi-boot screen. So I tried to restore using the DVD Restore Set I made before I did anything to the partitions. I was able to boot to the DVD Restore Set by using the F12 key during restart and selecting the BDDVD drive. It looked like it was going to work, but after it loaded the minmum Windows files and I clicked on Restore, I got an error stating that the partition had changed and I could not restore.
I contacted tech support and they are sending me a disc to restore the system.

Thanks for the heads up. I'd like to use the SSD for installing Windows 8. It seems to have about 25GB free. Isn't that a better place to install the OS? I am not sure why the bigger drive is marked as C: and the small, faster one as D: :-(

    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 to create a new partion in my HP (Compaq LE1902x )PC that has already 4 primary partitions ?

    How to create a new partion (to save my files & Folders) in my HP (Compaq LE1902x )PC that has already 4 primary partitions ? when something goes wrong along with OS(C) drive my all files are lost. so i want to create a new partition & dedicate it to my files & folders.

    I would consider another problem. What if the hard drive (not the OS) fails. You'd lose all your data, all partitions. It seems better logic would be to copy your files and folders to either an external hard drive or USB thumb drive.
    I would not use the internal backup program, but would manually copy the data. I also would not leave such device attached to the computer.
    In my system I have a separate USB thumb drive that stored critical medical and legal documents. That way, I can travel with it, as needed. I also clone my primary desktop every 30-45 days. That way, if I get a failure, it's only that far back on lesser files.

    I created a new partition; how do I open it? I want to install Mavericks on it?

    When the Mavericks installer opens, you'll be given the chance to choose where you want it installed to. Select that partition.
    If the partition's formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), no additional preparation is required.

  • Can't create a new partition

    Hi,
    I want to create a new partition as I have done before a few times.
    Now, the problem is, that I get an error message, when I'm trying to create one.
    Unfortunetally the error message is in German, so I try to translate it:
    "Partitioning failed
    During partitioning is occurred an error:
    MediaKit reports: System has for the desired process not enough memory"
    You can see the screenshot under following link:
    http://www.apfeltalk.de/forum/partitionen-zusammenf-hren-t174556.html
    The point is: I have 2 GB RAM and more than 100 GB on my harddisc free!
    Probably this problem occured with Mac OS X 10.5.5.
    Does anybody know an solution?
    How can I contact Apple to inform them about this problem and get some help?!
    Best regards
    Stefano

    Your translation is probably a little off and rather than meaning there's not enough RAM it means there's not enough contiguous hard drive space to make a partition of that size. I'm assuming that you are trying to partition a drive that already has data on it. If I am right, before the drive can be partitioned, it has to be defragmented so that the drive has no data in a group of tracks equal to the size you requested. It is possible to request a partition size that looks like it should fit but there's one or more files that cannot be moved out to make space for it. That, is what I think has happened to you.
    If I am right you can try defragging your hard drive with a program dedicated to defragmenting and optimizing. Some people have had success doing this and others have used such a program and still couldn't partition their drive. You can clone the drive to another hard drive (SuperDuper! and CarbonCopyCloner are two good cloning programs) and then turn around and clone right back to original. This will work because as the files are copied to the target drive they will all be placed in contiguous sectors so the drive will be completely defragmented. Or you can try making a smaller partition.

  • Couldn't create a new partition with a windows 7 installation

    Hi
    I have a b570 laptop. It was originally windows 7 home premium and I wanted to install windows 7 ultimate from scratch (didn't want to upgrade it) with new partitions, so I have deleted the original system partition and tried to create a new partition but to my surprise I couldn't create a new one. I tried to use the onekey recovery but it keeps asking me for the original partition, which I don't have. Please help me if you know how I could solve this problem. Thank you in advance.

    With the windows 7 installation disk...I select the unallocated space shown on the screen -> click on the new button on the bottom -> set the size of the new partition to be created -> and click create.

  • How to create and drop partitions automatically?

    How to create and drop partitions automatically?
    The environment is Oracle 10g(10.2.0.3) on the RHEL4.0 system.
    I want to partition the MESSAGE table by date (NUMTODSINTERVAL(1,'DAY') ). One partition per day. Because the table is huge, only 2 partitions (today and yesterday's data) are necessary to be kept online. All the partitions that earlier than the previous day will be backed up and then dropped. I want to make the partition creating and dropping jobs run automatically. How to do it?

I want to make the partition creating and dropping jobs run automatically. How to do it?With 11g, new partitions can automatically be created.
    With 10g, you need to do that yourself. I prefer to create a "buffer" of future partitions - in case the job whose task it is to add new partitions gets held up or stuck. Or the job queue is full due to some problem and it does not get the chance to execute in time.
    I dislike your partitioning criteria. I prefer using the date directly and not mangling it to something else. If a specific day has a large volume of data, then another option is to use hourly date ranged partitions. With local partitioned indexes and the date time range used for querying, this can be quite effective performance wise.
    As for partitioning maintenance - I use a custom written partitionManager PL/SQL package that provides an interface for adding daily and hourly partitions to a table. Input parameters are for example name of the table, start date and the number of partitions to add. Similarly it provides interfaces for aging partitions - again by specifying a table and a date-time to use as the starting point, back into time, for removing old partitions.
    I typically call this code from the actual application code itself - so before a new partition will be used for example, the app code will first ensure that it has a partition to use. This is safer than a separate job as the dependency is resolved where and when it is needed - and not done as a separate task.
    For example - you should have a procedure/package that provides an app the means to log a message into your MESSAGE table. As part of an autonomous transaction, this procedure can check if the required partition exists, before attempting to insert a message into the table.
    Where this approach is not possible, a DBMS_JOB can be used to create future partitions - but as I mentioned, rather have it add a bunch of future (empty) partitions in case something goes pear shape with the job mechanism.

    Can I set up 2 different time capsule backups? one for the lion partition and one for the snow leopard partition?
    No, you can't partition a Time Capsule's internal HD.  Both partitions will back up to the same sparse bundle. keeping the backups for each partition separate.
    Time Machine will not take the two OSX partitions as two different computers, but for best results, exclude the Snow Leopard drive from backups on the Lion partition, and exclude the Lion partition from backups on the Snow Leopard partition.
    There may be some files on the Lion partition that Time Machine on Snow Leopard won't like, among other things.  See #10 in  Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details.

  • How to create a new connection from SAPGUI to Test drive?

    Hi,
    I have installed Sap Netweaver Test drive on a linux virtual machine (windows host).

  • How to create a new Oracle OSB project automaticaly with script without IDE

    Hello,
    I want to create automatically an "Oracle service bus project" and an "Oracle service bus configuration project" with scripts (ANT or Maven or ...) without using IDE, without using workshop or Eclipse. I want to create automatically (ANT or Maven) just a skeleton of an OSB project witch i can use after in workshop.
    I want to create 1 "Oracle service bus configuration project" with many "Oracle service bus project" automatically (ANT or Maven or scripts) witch i can use after in workshop. How to create a new Oracle OSB project automaticaly with script without IDE ? How can i do this ?
    I'm using Oracle service bus 10.3.1
    Thank you for your help.

    Thank you for your response,
    I do not want to just create the services (proxy services and business services) but I want to create a template for 40 OSB project with the same scripts ANT/Maven.
    Template="Oracle service bus configuration project" + "Oracle service bus project" + services of 40 OSB projects
    The goal is that I have more than 40 projects to create and just the name of the projects that changes (when I say the name of the project ie the name of the OSB project, the name of proxy services and the name of business services ).
    So I want to give my script (ANT/Maven) the name of 40 OSB project and the script must generate the skeleton of the 40 projects at once time and after generation of skeleton of the 40 project, I will import them in the workshop to add manually mapping and routing and other things that differs from one project to another.
    So i want to generate automatically a skeletons of 40 OSB projects using a script (ANT / Maven) and I give to the script juste the names of the 40 projects.
    I want to create a "Oracle service bus configuration project" and "Oracle service bus project" automatically of 40 OSB projects (ANT or Maven or scripts) witch i can use after in workshop.
    I want to create one 'template' of all 40 projects in the same time, with the same directory structure (Transforlation, Business services, proxy services, WSDL .....) and all 40 project have the same transport, just the names of projects and services witch changes and i can give to the script all names of projects and services and i can give also all WSDL.
