How to give linux partition mackbook's drivers

my problem is that I got a partition with linux and I CAN'T install drivers from installation Cd becouse there's no way to open .exe files by ubuntu...
I would like to know HOW can I install macdrivers into linux partition.

Hi Teugon,
Apple offers two types of installer package types:
.dmg - For Mac OS
.exe - Windows XP/Vista/7
Apple doesn't offer 3rd party support (.deb) for Linux nor is that recognizable OS for Boot Camp. So yes, I think your Linux related question would be better served via the countless number of communities that exist on the Internet. Besides, the previous posters above were just trying to help. Had the original question been phrased clearly perhaps there wouldn't have been such confusion. In a few seconds I was able to find all sorts of links regarding how to setup Linux on a Mac. Here's an example of one - http://sowerbutts.com/linux-mac-mini/

    Hi again,
    I would like to answer to another question, just in case:
    Question: Can I dual boot Win7 and Linux on a UEFI capable bios?
    Answer: Yes you can. If your HDD is formatted in MBR partition table (or msdos) than you can install first windows 7 and than the distro of your choice. BUT, careful, if you install windows from a DVD media it will convert your HDD in GPT partition table and dual boot will be almost impossible... (or will give you a lot of headache) to avoid this, dump the win7 iso to an usb using Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. Installing from USB will not change the hdd in GPT partition table.
    take care

  • Remove rEFIT Linux partition

    Hello, I installed linux usign rEFIT correctly, but now I want to remove the partition and combine the Linux and the Linux swap partition back into the whole partition. If you were wondering why I want to uninstall it, I just wanted to use a Virtual Machine to run Linux, because that is what I was advised to do recently, instead of dual botting. So, I was wondering if anyone knows how to simply combine the partitions and remove the Linux Partition off of my computer.
    Thanks,

    I just wanted to use a Virtual Machine to run Linux, because that is what I was advised to do recently, instead of dual booting.
    Smart decision, that's exactly what I recommend as well.
    Jt's rare that one will need the full hardware performance of Linux on a Mac, and if so, then it's better direct installed on a PC.
    Apple doesn't make it easy to install Linux, nor provides the hardware drivers for it. So someone has to hack those and since Apple has went all AppStore crazy...
    anyway.

    With rEFIt it hasn't been updated in ages, there is another like EFI program that has taken over their function in that area.
    http://refit.sourceforge.net/
    The uninstall instructions to remove the EFI program from your EFI firmware parittion is here, but like the rest it hasn't been updated since Snow Leopard days back in 2011. So it's unknown how things will go with Lion, Mountain Lion or Maverick.
    You should FOR SURE, clone your OS X partition to a external JHFS+ (GUID OS X Extended Journaled) drive using Carbon Copy Cloner, which you can then hold option/alt key and boot from it (provided your EFI firmware is still working. LOL.  (but you can still direct access files from another Mac, or Windows with MacDrive or Linux)
    Make a bootable clone of your boot drive
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    http://refit.sourceforge.net/doc/c1s3_remove.html
    You likely should also create a EFI firmware restore cd, this will return the at boot key commands at the second attempt to boot the machine after the firmware has been applied.
    Get your model identifier correct (OS X System Profiler or Apple's Hardware Test)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
    and download (on another Mac) the correct firmware: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
    Apply using these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2213
    Now you should be WAY overprepared for nearly anything.
    As you should know, EFI is a firmware partition, and programs like rEFIt can be installed there and then are loaded (second boot) into NVRAM (I believe.)
    Once rEFIt is removed, you use the option/alt keys at boot to use Startup Manager to get into OS X (f you have it)

  • How to remove a partition of my hard drive

    I have an old 2007 HP Pavilian DV6000 series with Windows Vista. At some point, one of my husbands friends had the bright idea to partition the hard drive and put Linux (Ubuntu) operating system on my laptop. I haven't used this laptop in a few years now because once he did that the laptop has been screwy ever since. I want to remove that OS and remove that partition. I don't have a recovery disc to do a factory reset, I've tried that and I've tried restoring to early point and nothing is working. So how can I un partition that part of the hard drive and remove that horrible OS?? Vista is still on there and I can still access Windows, but I just want my computer back to how it should be. Thanks!

  • How to give permission to Menu Item in PeopleSoft HR 7.5

    Hello All,
    I am new to PS 7.5. I like to find how to give permission to MenuItem in PS 7.5. I am able to go there via
    PeopleTools -> Security Administrator -> MenuItems -> double click on the Administer Workforce -> I will see my menuitem there. I highlited my menuitem. still I coulcnt see that menuitem online. Please let me know how to give menuitem access in PeopleSoft 7.5.
    Thanks.

    I would check to see if there is software that can be downloaded to the PC from the manufacturer. I am assuming your device is a "plug and play" device. The manufacturer might still have the device drivers for install on their website.
    Installing the drivers manually should alleviate the problem
    Otherwise, you can make the changes in Group Policy to solve the problem

  • TV on demand not working with FF on XP partition works fine with iexplorer or on Linux partition?

    I have been use firefox on XP and Linux for years and I watch and listen to the BBC iplayer as well as four on demand, five on demand ect. a few days ago this just stopped working.
    At first I thought it was the iplayer not working but tried looking at other site and they are not working. Youtube is fine though.
    When I switched to my Linux partition it works fine then I tried iexplorer and the sites works fine.
    I have explored at length for answers online and the only thing I have come up with is 'Npdsplay dll' plugin for FF but I appear to have the latest version.
    Should I try one of the fix tools online I am always a bit dubious about these downloads?
    Cheers Tony.

    There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
    - Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
    - Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])

  • How to delete a partition entirely?

    I had a bootcamp partition, and I can't figure out how to completely get rid of it. I've erased everything ON the partition but I can't seem to figure out how to restore the partition's memory back to the original Macintosh HD partition.
    Since I used disk utility to erase it, bootcamp assistant won't give me any options as to how to delete the partition. It's using up 50gb of my harddrive and I need the space for my original partition.
    Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
    Thanks so much

    Select the drive in the sidebar, click on the Partition tab, delete that partition, and drag the slider at the bottom of the Mac OS X partition as far down as it will go.

  • Removing Linux Partitions

    I installed linux on a separate partition and was dual booting it. For some reason it also created a huge number of extra partitions. Now after deleting the main linux partition it won't let me delete the other partitions (I'm actually not sure which are
    windows 8 partitions). Is there any way to extend the "C" drive to fill the unallocated space (as seen in the picture)? Which of the drives are necessary?
    Note: The extend drive option in DISKMGMT.MSC is grayed out, as far as I can tell this is because they are not next to each other. Is there a way to rearrange it?

    Hi,
    As I know, It won't be labeled since Windows doesn't understand the Linux file system, so you'll need to figure out which one it is by size and where it is on your hard drive. But, you can identify the Linux partitions because they have no label under the
    “File System” column, while Windows partitions will be identified by their “NTFS” file system.
    Since you can't extend the volume, you may also choose to create a new, separate partition instead of expanding your current Windows partition, if you like.
    And, I would like to suggest you try the steps from the link below to fix the issue:

  • Need my files on a damaged linux partition from Mac OS X

    Hi everybody !
    Just got my new MacBook Pro 15 inches today and it is absolutely great. I have problems transferring my documents from linux to my mac. I tried ext2fsx, but I have a critical error. I guess this is the same as for windows, meaning that it was badly unmounted under linux due to a brutal shut down. I cannot repair the linux partition because my other computer is really dead. Any idea how to fix this under mac os x ?
    Thanks in advance,
    D

    I did not suggest this because I was uncertain if Apple had changed fsck to work only with HFS file systems. If it works with other unix file systems that would be an nice easy way to check the disk out.

  • X230i How to Backup recovery partition?

    I bought a new x230i but I would like to install a new OS rather than using the pre-installed one. How can I backup those ThinkVantage tools, drivers, OS, etc first? I assume its all on the recovery partition, correct?

    iscgrant wrote:
    There is a link on the ThinkVantage Tools named Factory Recovery Disks.  It lets you make one (and only one) copy of the recovery disk.  I messed up and created it on a SDCard which I found out isn't bootable so be carefull :-).  I believe it can copy to DVD disks and you can also use a USB Stick.  I found that 16gig is needed but it might be different for your system.  I ended up having to call support for replacement recovery disks because I messed up my one and only chance.
    Hey,
    Do you still have that SDCard with the non-booting recovery image on it?
    Something I'd try if I had one of those and a spare 16G (or 8g?) USB flash drive:  prepare the flash drive per the link below, then simply copy the contents of the SDCard to it.  Make hidden stuff visible first.  Not sure that's necessary, but just in case...
    New or used USB memory keys or USB flash drives require an active partition created from within Wind...
    This has worked for USB flash to USB flash to rescue an improperly formatted flash drive. It just might work in your case.

  • How to delete linux/ubuntu from mac?

    Please help I dont know what else to do I have tried everything. Everytime I try to delete it through bootcamp I get a message saying, "The disk is not journaled. You must enable journaling using Disk Utility before using the Boot Camp Assistant." And I have tried doing it in disk utility too. None of it will get rid of the particion. I really need to delete it because I need the space. Thanks for any help.

    Ok, you got a dual boot setup, you must of have used Bootcamp to create the partition and then installed Linux in there instead of Windows.
    First thing to remmeber is Linux reformatted the partition to EXT when it installed.
    Mac's can't read that format or even acknowledge it exists.
    Second it's likely a sub partition called Linux Swap was also created as this is how Linux handles excess memory needs, by swapping the contents to a seperate partition for security.
    It's possible this sub-partiton is under the main partition, so dealing with the main Linux partition should hopefully remove it in Step #4, else #2 or #3 will do it.
    Step 1
    The first order of business is your going to have to get a copy of your User file folders (Music, Documents, Pictures etc) out of OS X and onto a external hfs journaled (Disk Utility) formatted drive (not TimeMachine!) and disconnect this drive. (and any other drives as well so there are no mistakes)
    You should also make a note of anything like serial numbers, email addreses or other things that are very important as you might be having to erase and reformat the entire drive and reinstalling OS X.
    Note: Always keep a two copies of your vital data at all times.
    Step 2
    The absolute best method. If you have another blank external powered drive (not the one with your backup of files) then download the free to use Carbon Copy Cloner and simply clone (use the default settings for now) your OS X 10.6 to the external drive.
    When that's finished you can hold the option key and boot the computer from it. Now your happy.
    You can use Disk Utility on the clone to erase and format the entire drive, GUID partition map, HFS+ journaled and simply CCC back onto the internal drive.
    Reboot and run ALL of OnyX's maintainence and cleaning aspects and reboot. Zoom
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    Step 3:
    Not the best method, but works, hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk, select Disk Utility and Erase the whole drive format hfs+ journaled and quit, reinstall OS X, Software Update, install programs from fresh sources and finally files from backup back into their respective folders like before (not Library, leave that alone)
    When you enter the hard drive name, use the same name as before, when you go through setup, use the same username as before. This is important or you lose your pathnames to your iTunes music file locations and wind up with a bunch of exclamation points.
    Step 4
    A chance this might work and save yourself some work and be experimental before trying the Step 3 above. Go to Disk Utility and select the Linux partition, rename it BOOTCAMP and change the partition to MSDOS and let it rip. Then enter Bootcramps and see if it recognizes it and allows you to unpartiton it.
    If it works then the 2 and 3 steps are obviously not needed, but #2 is advised as a bootable backup method in addition or surplanting TimeMachine as TM drives  are NOT bootable.

    Perfect Solution to Problem:
    Precautions:
    1.Create your recovery DVD's from recovery partition before proceding, or order them from hp so as in case of any error or in worst case system can be set to factory restore.
    2.BACK UP YOUR DATA.
    3.FOLLOW ON YOUR OWN RISK , NO RESPONSIBILTY FOR DATA LOSS , SYSTEM CRASH, OR LOSS OF RECOVERY PARTITION.
    4.Hopefully you have read this , if any consequences arises take it on your part , nothing to do with it, you can leave the rest of reding part if not ready,
    THANKS FOR READING........
    OOP'S you are here,,,,,,,,,then lets continue at your risk..........
    Statement:
    You are using this guide at your own risk. I don't take any responsibility for any problems.
    Important informations !
    Before you will do anything please create a set of recovery discs and back up all important data.
    Both these steps will save you a lot of troubles if something will go wrong.
                Resource:
             From experience
    Remember that if you will decide to use the recovery discs or the F11 option to restore the PC to its originalcondition, all partitions which were created by you will be lost and all the data which were stored on them willalso be lost.
    Introduction:
    Below screenshot shows pre-configured partitions on HP notebook with pre-loaded Windows 7.
    As you see mounted HDD has four primary partitions:
    C - partiton with the operating system.
    HP_TOOLS - partition which allow to use diagnostic tools after pressing F2 on startup.
    RECOVERY - partiton which allows to recover system by pressing F11 on startup.
    SYSTEM - active partition which boots the operating system. 
    Here begins our problem. A standard partition table is only able to store information about four partitions.
    This means that a hard disk could have a maximum of four partitions. The four standard partitions are oftencalled the primary partitions.
    To deal with this limitation we may:
    ----> Delete hp tools partiton , and create new logical partion, BUT RECOVERY MEDIA SET HAVE BEENCREATED BEFORE......
    PROCESS:
    Note:
    Please perform each operation individually.
    Using several operations at one time may end with fatal error.
    1.Hope you have your recovery media , recovery media dvd set and DRIVER DVD,if not then please get it first for safety..
    2. Download and install MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition.
    3.Please back all of your data on HARDDISK before proceding.......
    4.Go to START> COMPUTER > RIGHT CLICK ON IT > MANAGE
    5.A window opens, select disk management from it , given on left hand side....
    6.It will display your harddisk partitions as displayed in image.....carefully locate HP_TOOLS Partition in given table.....
    7.Right click on HP_TOOLS Partition and Delete it.........it will prompt for response say yes.........
    8.Now must have left with 3 partitons.........HP_TOOLS have been deleted...
    9.Now action time...........
    10.Start Minitool Partition wizard.......it will diaplay your partitons.........select C: partition......right click on it .....select option move/resize...
    11.New dialog box appears displays currents stats use the drag corners on top to reduce size for C: drive ......set the new size according to use..........But new size must not be less than 150 gb to avoid any data loss.....
    12.leave rest of options intact.........click ok...........this will return you to minitool partiton wizrd home screen........click on apply at leftmost top corner..........it asks for permission say yes........then it displays that drive is in use you need to restart............
    13.Click on Restart Computer........
    14.Your Computer will restart in Mini tool partition boot mode dont press any key...........after loading it will start processing and shrinking............then copying data...........it will restart automatically after progress is done 100%..........be patient.........it takes upto 5-10 mins......
    15.If every thing goes fine your computer will start normally.........then go to START> COMPUTER > RIGHT CLICK ON IT > MANAGE
    16. New window opens, select disk management from it , given on left hand side....now you can see your C: partition has been reduced in size according to your size specified...........and unallocated space have been created along by C: partion.
    17. Finally right click on unallocated space and select NEW SIMPLE VOLUME......a dialog box appers specify size to create a new logical partition...........you may create any number of logical drives till there is free space left...........
    18.Now open My Computer ...........you can see your new custom partitions have been created........
    19. Done.........enjoy.......
    SUPPLEMENTARY:-
    1. You can create any image creation tool......to create image of your C: Partiton and save image in yourcustom created partitons.......
    2. In future if you want to recover system,,,,,you may use your created image using imaging software forrestoring your C: partiton......may be helpfull instead of running recovery.........
    Drawbacks:

  • How to make Vista partition on the HDD as first one with Recovery CD

    Hello,
    i want to format and recover the information to my "Vista" (C://) partition, which is the first. But when i choose the option "Format and recover to an existing first partition on your hard disk(without RE)" the computer began to recover to "Partition Type: windows NT NTFS (ID: 07)" which size is only 1.50 GB.
    In the middle of the process it shows "not enough space on a disk"
    Question: how to make "vista" partition the first one? What is "the first partition" in the second option of formating and recovering the system?
    Thank You for Your answers

    Hi
    You can obtain from your friends (I am sure someone has it) Microsoft WXP installations CD and install OS on C partition. On Toshiba download page you will find chipset and all necessary drivers to make WXP running properly. When finished connect external HDD or USB memory stick and copy all your data there. you can also install Nero demo version and create data CD or DVD. It is lot of work but if you have time you can do this without any problems.
    Other way connect your HDD as external one to other PC and copy all your important data. Sorry but I do not see other solution.
