How to create a new system drive

I have a 4.5 yr old G5 that I want to keep for awhile, but I think its time to replace the original system drive. The second drive is a bigger and more recent drive that I want to reformat and install the latest OS X on it, then move to the top position as the system drive. I was thinking I would leave drive 2 in place and do the reformat and system install before moving it up to the top - will that work? Isn't there some concern about "master and slave" positions (or drive 0 and drive 1) when it comes to system drives? Can I reformat and install onto drive 2 and then simply move it up to the top position to then function as the system drive? Any better procedure? (I'm planning to install a new, larger drive in the lower slot after I create and move the new system drive.)
Thanks for any advice!

Hi
No need at all to move drives around (and it can be a pain to do so in the G5s anyway) - just install your new drive in the empty slot, install the system, and use System Preferences - Startup Disk to make that the boot drive. Master/slave doesn't apply to SATA systems.

  • How to create a new System Data

    Hi guys.
    I need to create a new System Data with which to filter a list output using a field derivated from siebel marketing. This data isn't between the standard system data like CampaingCode, SegmentId .....
    Now i discover one .XML file (someting like Marketing....xml), in the OracleBIData/web/config directory, in which there are defined all the standard System data like:
    <WebExpression>
    </WebExpression>
    Can I try to modify this file and add a new system data? if the answere is YES, hao i can do this? My real problem is how take a system value, from siebel marketing, to assign at this new systme data.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    thanks for your solution,
    i created a new Data carrier type AC for viewing auto cad files and given the path as, C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2006\acad.exe"
    and at Define serveres and files or folders,
    defined the data carrier as Autocad type was default as AC,
    at Identify frontend computers i could not enter any thing it is only in display form and no values were there and niether could be entered.
    and my datacarrier created is not there to be selected while creating documents.
    through CV01N create documents.
    i suppose this is because i have already defaulted PC as the data carrier type. default system as my data carrier.
    please clarify my Below douts also
    as in my configuration i have defined only one Datacarrier ie Default PC, will this do all the need full, or will lead to to any complication in any aspect,
    i want to know what is the Advantages of defining many datacarriers or the Limitation of a single Datacarrier.
    iam facing a situation where a particular software say PDF reader or AutoCAD, is not installed in all the System. and iam thinking of installing this Software in a particular System or say in the Content Server system.
    can this software be made used to view these cad and Pdf files on the front end system where this software is not installed,
    Say in a particular PC the software AutoCAD is not installed and if he wants to View the AutoCAD file,
    another problem iam facing is
    while Creating a New AutoCAD file in my system through DMS Create, it gives a message "Drawing file is not Valid"
    while i can create a Word Doc File, but it is not possible to create a new AutoCAD file throuh DMS, (AutoCAD is Installed in my system)
    also i have no idea of how to create a New Data carrier type,
    what exactly have to be filled in
    1, define data carrier type
    2, define server and files or folder
    3, identify frontend computers
    please provide configuration details or if possible screen shot details
    points will be awarded for sure.

    Hi,
    You need to create a JDBC System in portals for the same.

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

  • How to create a new user id in OID for Oracle Collab suite File System

    Dear Friends,
    I want to know how to create a new user id in the oracle internet directory where i can use that user for the new subscription of the oracle collabration suite file system..
    Please do the needfull and thanks in advance...
    With warm regards
    R.Prasad

    Hi!
    The way you suggest should not be used.
    A CS user will be created as a normal OID user and will receive the CS attributes in a different subtree later during the provisioning.
    For creating CS users use oesuser and uniuser. Files provisioning will work in a different manner anyway.

  • How To create a new R/3 source System ?

    Hello,
    Can somebody guide me to a white paper or something related which explains in detail how to create a new R/3 source System in BW?

    hi jay,
    while i don't have a white paper, it was as simple as right-clicking the source systems tree in AWB and creating a new one - the process is simplified if you're using release 3.0E up, but i can't help you much if not. but you basically have to create an RFC connection to the source system, create a BW user, assign the IDOCs properly (this one i don't know how to do), and linking them all up together in one source system.
    if i come across any notes, i'd be more than happy to help.
    i'll try asking our Basis people too, just in case they know of anything i could point you at.

  • How do I create a new startup drive?

    Once I get a larger drive installed to replace the 80 GB drive that came with my G5, what is the safest way to create the new startup drive?

    Gi-
    The best way to get going on a new drive is, after formatting the drive with Disk Utility, download SuperDuper and clone the old drive to the new drive.
    The free version is excellent, and totally reliable,
    The paid version makes keeping backup clones easy.

  • How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion.  I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?

    How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion.  I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?
    The system I'm have is a Mac-mini that had SL on it and no SuperDrive.  I have also call Apple Support and they have really have not been to much help over 1st did my up grade to Lion and Installed the Lion Server.... it lost my SSL that I paid for and kill almost on of my server setting, plus kill all my web servers (using apache vhosts), and not to say the LDAP will even let remote users login to your laptops.
    PS: There is no way that I'm going to buy a Install USB from Apple... They have over billed me over $300.00 because the Apps Store still has bugs (Glad I did not write that App/Service)
    If there is anyone that can give in the information to create a USB install stick, I would be very thinkful.

    Here you are bro, courtesy of "softpedia.com"....brilliant site!!!
    If you ever had problems with your Mac OS X installation you know that the first thing you should do is to check the startup volume using Disk Utility.
    After the check has ended and, if the errors exceed a certain level of seriousness, the Disk Utility application will require you to restart your Mac and use its Mac OS X Install disc counterpart.
    Other users may have to reinstall OS X altogether, but will find, or already know, that their SuperDrive (a CD/DVD reader and write combo drive) is not functioning properly and it will not be able to read the Install disc.
    Although this might happen to Mac OS X Leopard users due to faultyhardware, the vast majority of problematic SuperDrives will be encountered inside Snow Leopard running Macs.
    This is due to the updated SuperDrive firmware included in either the Install disc or the software updates one has to install to reach the latest version of OS X, namely 10.6.6.
    This can be fixed by flashing the SuperDrive’s stock firmware using free command line tools that one can find for free online (I will write about this process also, but at a later time because this article only focuses on allowing you to create your own alternative USB boot disc).
    If you are reading this last bit of information with skepticism, than you should know that it happened to me too. Despite all my tries to make it work properly, the SuperDrive kept on munching any inserted DVDs and just popped them out in about twenty seconds.
    The workaround to this issue was to create my own Leopard bootable USB memory stick. I am not suggesting a Snow Leopard bootable stick mainly because there are lots of users that have decided to buy the cheaper, Upgrade version, which I have not tested and, therefore, I’m not sure if it will work properly once written to a USB disk.
    And now, here are the exact steps you should follow in order to obtain a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) Install disc.
    Step 1 (If you already have the Leopard install disc DMG file you can skip to Step 2)
    Launch Disk Utility (you can find it inside /Applications/Utilities). Here select the Leopard Install disc in the list of drives on the left and click on the New Image menu entry at the top of the window. A save message will appear where you will have to select the Desktop as a destination.
    Step 2
    After Disk Utility has finished creating the Leopard DMG, insert your USB stick and erase all data and reformat the disk. To do this select the USB in the list of drives on the left and, after clicking on the Erase tab on the right side of the window, choose the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format and click the Erase button beneath.
    Step 3
    After the USB has been reformatted, download the SuperDuper app from HERE and launch it. Once SuperDuper starts, you will only have to select the DMG in the Copy drop-down menu, your USB memory stick on the right and hit the “Copy Now” button.
    One can also use Disk Utility for this task but creating a bootable USB stick failed 2 out 4 times when copying the DMG to the stick (with the exact same settings each time). Creating the bootable stick using SuperDuper proved to be the perfect way to do it because it worked each of the 4 times I tested it.
    The steps above can also be used to create a bootable Mac OS X Lion USB by using the InstallESD.dmg image you can find inside the Lion installer (named “Install Mac OS X Lion.app”) downloaded from the Mac App Store in the /Applications folder.
    To locate the InstallESD.dmg right click the Lion installer, select the “Show Package Contents” entry, go inside the “Contents” folder, and from there into the “SharedSupport” folder. Inside this folder you can find the InstallESD.dmg you can use to create your own bootable Mac OS X Lion USB stick. To do so, go to the third step described above and use the InstallESD.dmg as the DMG to be copied to your USB disc.
    That’s it! Once the process ends you will have a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) USB disk that you can use as an alternative to the Apple’s DVD Install disc that comes bundled with all Macs.
    To use your newly created bootable disk you will have to restart the Mac, press and hold the OPTION key until the StartupManager appears. Here, select the Mac OS X Install disk using your keyboard arrows and press return to start from the selected drive.

  • 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 am a volunteer. I am not an HP employee.

    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 to create a new field in a sub screen in material master. ?

    How to create a new field in a sub screen in material master. ?
    Kindly help us.
    LIke wise tell me how to create a new sub screen as per my desired

    Follow the documentation of Logistics - General->Material Master->Configuring the Material Master->Create Program for Customized Subscreens  to add the new field in material master.
    Create Program for Customized Subscreens
    In this IMG activity, you can create a function group of your own by copying function group MGD1 (for industry) or function group MGD2 (for retail). The subscreens are not copied, except for two subscreens which are copied for technical reasons. You can use this copy to create subscreens of your own which you can assign to a data screen in the activity Define Structure of Data Screens for Each Screen Sequence.
    Requirements
    Be sure to read the program documentation first.
    Activities
    1. Create a function group of your own by choosing Execute.
    2. Enter a name containing up to 25 characters, beginning with the letter Y or Z, and choose Save.
    3. Access the Object Navigator.
    You do this from the SAP standard menu by choosing Tools -> ABAP Workbench, and then Object Navigator.
    4. Display either program SAPLMGD1 (industry) or SAPLMGD2 (retail) as required.
    5. Copy the subscreens as required, ensuring that they already contain as many as possible of the field names you want to use in your function group. You do this as follows:
    a) Choose Screens, position the cursor on the corresponding subscreen, and choose Copy in the context menu.
    b) Enter the program to which you want to copy the subscreen, prefixing it with SAPL, and enter a screen number. Use the screen number of the original subscreen where possible. If the F1 help is specific to a particular subscreen, this ensures that this context-specific help continues to be displayed.
    Example
    You have called your function group YENTERPRISE, to which you want to copy subscreen SAPLMGD1 2301. Enter SAPLYENTERPRISE as the program to which the subscreen is to be copied, and enter (preferably) 2301 as the screen number.
    6. Return to the initial screen of the Object Navigator and display your program. In the example above, you would enter SAPLYENTERPRISE.
    7. Choose Update object list.
    8. Select the subscreen you have copied and activate it by choosing Activate in the context menu.
    Using the Screen Painter, you can remove fields you do not require on the subscreen or include additional fields from other subscreens (see the ABAP Dictionary). For information on the Screen Painter, see the SAP library documentation BC ABAP Workbench Tools.
    Points to consider when removing or adding fields
    Make sure that a field statement exists for each field on the subscreen since data may not otherwise be transported correctly. You can use subscreen SAPLMGD1 2002 as an example.
    For the fields you have added, include any check modules and modules for self-programmed F4 help that are called up for these fields on the original subscreen. You can do this by displaying the flow logic for the original subscreen and searching for such modules. They normally have the same names as the fields themselves. When you find a module, copy the corresponding module call to your subscreen.
    If you change the order in which fields are transported that are checked together in the flow logic (such as the safety stock and minimum safety stock), you must deactivate the check module for the first field and activate it for the second. The system would otherwise transport the first field, and carry out the check before the second field is transported.
    Any error messages that fields are unknown when activating the subscreen are due to the fields still being included in checks, even though you have removed the fields from the subscreen. Search for the fields in the source code and make the lines in which they appear comment lines. Then reactivate the screen.
    9. Assign the subscreen to a data screen as required.
    Note on transport
    Use the Workbench Organizer to transport the copy you have created.
    Proceed
