  • Increasing partition size for windows

    can i increase the size of my windows partition with bootcamp?
    i installed windows at first just so that i can use some of the program and files that runs on windows. And i thought since i was going to format that partition in the FAT way then i can access files on OS X. But after the installation of windows i realize that i'd have to go to OS X and drag that file into the windows partition and then restart in windows to use them. And now it's too late (or not if you guys tell me that i can increase its size) because i've only gave the windows partition 5 GBs of capacity and after installation only 1.7 GBs is left free. What if i want to watch a movie i downloaded that is 2 GB in size? i can't possibly drag that into my windows partition after i downloaded it with OS X because it will be too big for it. What can i do now?

    I believe you have to go back to the original mac partition and start from there. Just like it was a new set up of boot camp.

  • Increase partition size

    I have a small partition that I need to increase... I have looked all over for the .hdd file that I'm supposed to have in Boot Camp so I can run Parallels Image Tool, but I can't find it or anything close. Can this be done? What am I missing?
    Thanks

    To increase the windows partition:
    Converting FAT32 to NTFS while booted into Windows:
    1. Click on Start button
    2. Click on Run
    3. Type in Cmd and then it Enter
    4.In the command prompt window, type: convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs and hit Enter. Please note that the "drive_letter" in the above command should be replaced with your drive letter. This is more than likely C so your command would read as Convert C: /fs:ntfs. NOTE: once you convert the partition to NTFS from FAT32 then OS X will not be able to write to it however it will be able to read it.
    5. Once the partition is converted then shut down windows and boot into OS X.
    Backing up windows partition:
    6. Download and run an app called "Winclone" from OS X and back up the newly converted Windows boot camp NTFS partition to another drive (maybe external USB or firewire drive)
    Create new partition size:
    7. Run Boot Camp Assistant from OS X and delete current Windows partition.
    8. Run Boot camp assistant again and recreate a new Windows partition with the increased size that you want. NOTE: Do not go through the process of installing windows from the boot camp assistant menu.
    Reinstall windows backup clone onto new larger partition:
    9. Close boot camp assistant and run Winclone
    10. Using Winclone, unarchive your windows backup to the newly made larger NTFS partition that you just created with boot camp assistant.
    OPTIONAL: to allow access to the newly converted NTFS XP file partition while in OS X
    11. download and install on the OS X partition NTFS 3G app http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/

  • Cannot increase partition size

    I originally had three two partitions one called BOOT and one called FILES. I ran out of room on my boot drive and I was told to clone it, add a partition with a larger size and clone it back to the larger parttion. I crteated BOOT 2 and then once cloned back I deleted BOOT.
    Now I cannot increase the size of FILES to its original size and cannot seem to recover any of the space from the original BOOT parttiion. Neither BOOT 2 or FILES can be increased. How do I acheive this?
    Here is a screen capture of what is going on.......

    You can not do that with Disk Utility. While it can be used to create and resize partitions, it can not be used to regain the space between partitions if there is data on the second partition.
    You might try something like > iPartition for Mac - Smart hard disk partitioning utility.
    But personally if I were in that boat. I would Clone the data from the 2nd and 3rd Partitions to partitions on an external drive. Then start over by reformatting the internal drive into 1 or 2 new partitions using Disk Utility and then clone the partitions back onto the internal drive.
    In addition: In OS X it is not necessary to have a boot partition and a file partition, OS X does quite well at managing everything including quite large user libraries in one partition.

  • Smartform : Main window : Want to increase the size of main window

    Dear Sir,
    In my smartform my Main window is fixed after four windows(2 + 2) but only in first page.
    Now my requirement is there in second page i am only showing two windows out of four and in new vaccent space produced by two window i wanted to increase the height of window equal to 2 window in second page onwards.
    Please guide.
    With Rgds,
    Nirav Parekh

    You just need to change the UPPER and HEIGHT values for the MAIN window on the second and subsequent pages.  Presumably, you have a different page definition for these pages?  If that's not your question, then please re-phrase it.

  • How do you create a disk image of windows so u can increase partition size?

    Ok, I have installed windows on my mac using bootcamp so i can play pc games and such. I mainly use the mac side of the computer but I have 30 GB devoted to windows. I ran out of space though and now want to uninstall windows so i can make the windows partition bigger. The problem is that I don't want to have to install ALL of my programs over again once i reinstall windows so I want to take a disk image of windows which i can revert to once it is reinstalled. I tried using the disk utility to do it but it keeps giving me error messages. Does anyone know how do create a disk image using windows??? or maybe I'm doing something wrong with the disk utility??? HELP!

    The easiest way I have found to do this is to backup the windows partition with a program such as WinClone
    http://twocanoes.com/winclone/
    Then use the bootcamp assistant to erase and recreate the partition, finally restoring the backup to the new partition. I have done this several times with my mac and it works great.

  • Cant increase partition size

    Recently I partitioned my drive so I could transfer files from my mac partition to my bootcamp partition (I had 3 partitions total). I had some problems with that partition so I deleted it using disk utility (I ended up with 2 partitions and free space, see picture). Next I tried increasing my mac partition and when i click apply, the progress bar shows as if it is working but when its done, it reverts back to the previous state with no error messages. Please help.
    Click here to see the problem in a video.

    Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the MacintoshHD partition to a external GUID OS X Ext J formatted blank powered drive.
    Use WinClone 3 to clone the BootCamp partition to another drive.
    Boot from the 10.6 install disk, Internet Recovery (command option r held at boot) or option/alt from the clone drive (easiest) and reformat the whole drive as you need.
    If it's a hard drive, you should take this opportunity to Zero Erase, (move slider one spot to the right) in Disk Utility to map off any failing sectors in advance, takes some time but it's worth it later.
    Then option/alt boot from the clone and reverse clone (also restores RecoveryHD) and then use BootCamp Utility to setup BootCamp partition anew, then use WinClone 3 to reverse clone Windows back on.

  • Increasing partition size for Windows 7 Ultimate in a clean install

    I am running XP on a 32GB partition through bootcamp. I'm using OS 10.5.8 for my MacPro.
    I wanted to do a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate (upgrade) in a larger partition than before, probably a new one.
    I have about 400GB of available space for this and wanted to know if it was possible before starting out. I ran out of space with 32GB for XP and figure a good 100GB partition would be safe with all the updates etc.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • How do I increase the size of a partition

    I have installed OS X on an external drive, I partioned the drive, one 20gig partition for the operating system and one 230 gig for data. I now want to increase the size of the OS partition to 30gig, can I do that without erasing the data on the partition?

    you can use iPartition or VolumeWorks to do that.

    I want increasing the space in c1t0d0s0. when I installed Solaris 10 I do not looked attentively the size allocated
    Thanks

    Hi,
    As I understand, you want to increase the size of the root partition (where you installed Solaris) which resides in c1t0d0s0. I think it can be done using Concatenations from Solaris Volume Manager (SVM).
    I have tried it in non root partition like /export/home and it is very easy.
    metainit -f d0 2 1 c1t0d0s7 1 c2t0d0s7 //this will create volume d0 as a concatenation
    growfs -M /export/home /dev/md/rdsk/d0 //this will grow the /export/home partition
    Regards,
    Rei

  • Changing partition size and migrating to Leopard

    My iMac currently runs OS 10.9 and has boot camp installed, but I chose a Windows partition size that was too small (only a few GB, enough to install Windows XP). I am now want to increase the size of the Windows partition and to install Leopard. What is the best order for me to change the partition size and install the new system? If the disk needs to be wiped clean to do this, what is the best way to back up the existing data and then to reinstall it. Would I use migration assistant?

    If your beta Boot Camp Assistant hasn't expired, you COULD do this before you upgrade to Leopard. If it has, you can play games with the date, or you can do this after you're on Leopard.
    Either way, if your partition is FAT32 you can back it up using Disk Utility, according to other posts (see especially backup/clone discussions in the beta discussion forum); if it's NTFS, Winclone is probably the way to go. If it's a real small partition, though, you might just start over, or back up only what's "yours".
    On either the beta or Leopard, you'd want to back up or clone the current Boot Camp partition, remove it using BCA, create the new larger partition using BCA, and then restore the contents.
    None of this requires wiping the MAC OS disk, it DOES essentially wipe out the WINDOWS disk. I don't think Migration Assistant helps here, but certainly haven't tried that.
