How to merge two partitions on lion

Hello everyone.
I have a big problem... I want to merge two partitions... (I know, disk utility...).
In fact, I can't merge a partion which looks locked, with my lion partition via disk utility.
On this locked partition I had my old snow leopard OS still installed before deleting it, I wanted at th begining just try lion, and do a fresh install. (which is donenow)
Some more informations for you :
I have windows 7 via bootcamp installed.
Also, I have a save of my booting partition on time machine.
Thanks for your help
Darklink
ps : I'm french, so, sorry for mistackes

Even if software is going to make it happen, you are still faced with the possibility of power failure in the process, which would wipe the entire drive in one swoop if it happens at the wrong time.    Better to clone both partitions to a larger hard drive, and then erase, repartition, and copy back over the boot data first, and import the rest by hand.

  • Satellite L40-18Z: How to merge two partitions into one partition?

    Hello,
    I have a satellite L40 with a hard disk drive partitioned into two ( C and E ), one having 37GB capacity the other almonst 36 GB.
    The C drive is almost full and the E drive almost empty. I would like to take away the partition and have just one drive, is this possible.
    Any advice would be gratefully received. I am not a techi so be kind.
    Regards
    Peter

    Hi
    Of course this is possible
    You can do this in disk management.
    Just click right on My Computer -> Manage
    Here choose disk management.
    Now you have to delete the E partition. Then the free space could be added to the C partition.
    But note; before you would do this, create the recovery disk (if you didnt this in the past.)

    How to merge two adjacent partitions?

    The formal steps are delete the second partition and right click on first one, choose "extend".
    Of course this will erase data on second partition.
    Some third party tools can help do the job with keep data on second partition.

  • Merging two partitions

    hi
    i used bootcamp to partition by hard drive into two.
    and while installing ubuntu i converted the fat32 to ext3
    and then i wanted to remove ubuntu from my macbook,
    i thought bootcamp will detect ext3 but it didn't,
    so i went back to ubuntu and converted the ext3 to fat32 using gparted.
    then came back to mac os and started bootcamp and thought it will restore the fat32 to hfs partition but it says " the disk is already partitioned for windows and cannot re-partition it again",
    so i used the disk utility to convert the fat32 to hfs+ partition,
    now my macbook has two hfs+ partitions, i want to merge these two partitions.
    can anyone suggest me how to merge two hfs partitions.
    is there any freeware which can do this job?
    or any licensed software that can do this?
    or can the provided disk utility do this?

    Hi,
    Mac has a very useful utility accessible from Terminal. I personally find it much better that the GUI Diskutility.
    Start up Terminal in Utilities, and type "diskutil help" w/o the quotation marks. You will get a comprehensive list of items which you can do with your disk/volume. I have used it to create, delete, merge, resize volumes/partitions without losing data. Nevertheless you should always backup before venturing. Hope this helps.

    Hi Naresh,
    What you could do is:
    1. do a ontime command line merge of both repository using the nqudmlexec tool
    2. In the mergerd repository created two project (sh and paint) and assign one bussiness model to each project.
    3. Make this the master repository for your MUD.

  • How to merge two search button from different criteria

    How to merge two search button from different criteria
    this image show the question

    two different criteria for the same view and I need to merge it in one button as when I click
    on the button search result give from two criteria parameters

    You can!t using af:query. the af:query component comes as is. If you can't do it through the properties, you probably can't do it at all.
    As in your other thread, the way to go is to program your own search form. This way you can use a layout and functionality you like.
    For this you create a form with input fields for the values you are searching for, put them on hte page in a way you like and in the end by hitting on a button (e.g. called Search) map all inputfields to parameters of a service method you defined in your application module or VO. This service method then executes a view criteria returning all matches in the default iterator (just as if you had used af:query.

  • How to merge two conflicting contact on iPhone and on laptop?

    How to merge two conflicting contacts?
    When syncing my iPhone w/ my Mac laptop, it seems that Apple does not provide an option that allows you to merge the data from two conflicting contacts.  For example, you have a contact on your iPhone for Andy Summer and a contact on your laptop for Andy Summers - one contact contains only Andy's name and email address, the other contact contains only Andy's name and his mailing address.  I'd like to be able to merge the data from these two contacts into one and save it to both, but the Conflict Resolver in the syncing program (I think it's in iTunes) does not offer an option for merging the two.
    Does anyone have any knowledge about 1) how to merge data from two conflicting contacts, or 2) some other way to keep the data from each so that I don't have to choose one over the other?

    Jawad,
    First of all,You need to make teaming on both the interfaces on the server side.Which mode do you want to use? Active-Active or Active-Standby.
    Server side :Active-Active - You need to configure the switch side to be a etherchannel/LACP. It can be done by the commands on the cisco 4006.
    Server side :Active-Standby - You need nothing to do at the switch side.
    Note: Seems PAGP is a proprietary of cisco. Server shouldn't know that. To be bound with mode "on" of "lacp" should be fine. It depends on the server side as well.

  • How to merge two movies documents into 1 in  iTunes?

    Can anyone tell me how to merge two movies documents into one in iTunes? Sorry maybe this is an easy and dumb question for you, but I have totally no idea. I download some movies in Windows and use Kigo Video Coverter to converte them into mp4 format. So I can watch it through new Apple TV in my big screen TV. Now I am thinking maybe I can upgrade my experience a bit more. Because some movies are downloaded into 2 or 3 separated document and I have to choose and click them while seeing. Is there any software can merge those separated documents into one single in mp4 format? I wish you could give me several to choose . Freeware is better. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks. I've tried simplemovies application but it seems too much complicated for me. I read some passages online and bought Quicktime Pro ($30) and finally link 2 mp4 documents together. So easy. Only issue is I have to pay $ 30 .

  • How to merge two WD components in one WD application?

    Hi SDN,
    Can any one tell me How to merge two WD components in one WD application?
    suppose i have two WD componets z_comp1 & z_comp2 now i want to use both these components in one WD application.
    Regards,
    Rahul.

    hi rahul...........
              you can use any number of wd components into one component.
    eg:
            consider you are having 2 components 'A' and component 'B' and you want to embed both into component 'C'.
           You can just click the 'Create' icon which will be present in the properties tab of the component controller.
           you mention the name of bothe components 'A' and 'B'.
            So now the interface controller of both the components are created in component 'C'.
           Now you can use the views present in both the components in component'C'.
