Increasing disk capacity designated for Windows OS

Dear Apple Community,
I have installed Windows on my Mac Book Pro, but forgot to increase the disk capacity during the process. As a result, now there is not any free space to copy data or install programs and etc.
Can please someone suggest good application or tool which will allow me to increase the capacity of Windows Drive (bootcamp) wihout reinstaliing it?
Thank you very much in advance for your kind help!

Thank you Shobhit for your reply.
Does it mean that 400G is not close to being enough if I want to complete all of the step according to BP_CRM_V170_Demo_System_Export_V2.pdf, including TRex installation ?
Did you install the TREX 7.10 for CRM in your case?
Thanks and regards,
Li etsuhin.

How can i increase the capacity of a window disk in parallels

how can I increase the capacity of a window disk in Parallels

Look in the Parallels help menus in Parallels or on the Parallels site. Your question has nothing to do with Windows compatibility.
Once you get to the the proper menu item settings you will have a slider to increase/decrease the size. Just move the slider in the direction to increase.

This was something interesting that came out of Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference today, straight from the lips of Terry Myerson, the Executive VP of the Windows and Devices Group.
He also was quoted as saying "Last week we announced a focusing on our Lumia lineup..." Again, further proof that Microsoft is not abandoning Windows Phone or Windows 10 Mobile.

Mac disk accidently formatted for windows...

I pulled a mac hard disk from a friends broken Powerbook G4 - formatted with OS 10.x - with the intention of pulling all the info off the drive so my friend could save his files. After putting the drive in a USB2 enclosure, I could see the files fine, and was about to transfer them to my HD, when my braniac son who builds PCs for fun asked what I was doing. I expalined that my friend had purchased a windows PC and would not likely be able to view the files on his PC, so I was going to transfer them to my machine, reformat the disk to work with windows, and transfer the files back. Maybe there was an easier way, but I am not aware what it would be.
My son said "no problem dad- windows can read that disk". BEing the eternal pessimist, I said "OK, show me". He plugged the disk into his machine and viola- nothing happened. He was surprised, and started typing furiously- and before I could ask what he was doing I guess he put a windows partition on the drive with windows 7 drivers - I think it is NTSF. But he still could not see the files.
I stopped him ASAP, and took the disk back to my Mac. I opened disk utility, and I saw 2 partitions- one 250MB with the windows format. The other -I think- was "unformatted". I downloaded Data Rescue 3, and scanned the disk. That application can see the files I need, but I am thinking there has got to be another way without spending $100. When I use Disk Utility now, the drive shows it is "unformated".
What I want to do is somehow mount this on my Mac, possibly rebuild a directory and offload the files.
Thoughts?

Have your son cough up the $100. You broke it. You fix it!
Try:
"TestDisk is a free data recovery utility. It was primarily designed to help recover lost data storage partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally erasing a partition table)."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TestDisk
The more you mess with the disk, the greater the chance of trashing the disk. I'd say TestDisk is too risky.
Mess with a virtual hd.
Use disk utility to create. Not shown in the example.
I think if you rename the created file to .dmg, it will just work.
Do a bit-by-bit copy
In Mac OS 10.4, you can use the following command to display all the partitions:
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
# This is a little deep.
#It is best to do the pdisk command before you eject the external hard drive. Now, eject the external hard drive. Do another pdisk command to see what drive name has disappeared. The disappearing name is the name of your external hard drive.
sudo pdisk -l
#for details...
man pdisk
#The syntax is different for Mac OS 10.2. I do not know about 10.3.
# Do a bit-by-bit copy.
#eject the partition
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
dd if=/dev/disk0s10 bs=4096 | gzip | dd of=~/disk0-s10 bs=4096
#this can take awhile. Open another window and do ls -l ~/disk0-s10
# Here is how to restore the partition.
dd if=~/disk0-s10 bs=4096 | gunzip | dd of=/dev/disk0s10 bs=4096
Remember to erase the large zero data file before backing up.

PGP Whole disk Encryption but for Windows Partition only ?

Hi,
Slightly unusual situation here. I want to use my MacBook Pro at work and home. OSX at home and XP at work. Now at work they have a strict policy of only allowing computers on the network with PGP Whole disk Encryption. I've looked into this and there doesn't appear to be a way of setting this up via bootcamp because PGP makes use of MBR which as far as I know bootcamp doesn't use and PGP themselves say bootcamp isn't supported.
Looking around the web there are various articles about tripple/quad booting Mac systems not using bootcamp but things such as Grub or reFIT. I'm wondering if there is a way of using this boot technique but using the partition option when installing PGP for windows and only setting it up on the defined windows partition.
Has anybody tried this or have alternatives ?
Thanks in advance
Steve

Hi Steve:
Windows has a boot manager built in. Windows can be installed on a logical NTFS partition, the boot
manager can sit on a tiny fat or fat32 primary partition. I have used this arrangement on my PC's
many times. I have not tried it on a Mac, but it should work. You will need to have some working
knowledge of partitioning to pull it off.
I don't know how PGP designed their software, but it should support this arrangement, unless they
have some cheesy engineering design built into their software that would prevent it from working.
The windows boot manager has been with NT from the beginning. It is not rocket science, NTLDR
sits in the usual spot reserved for system boot files, the boot ini file tells NTLDR what partition
the /windows/system32/ntoskrnl.exe is on and NTLDR passes the ball to ntoskrnl and away
she goes if everything is Kosher. Windows boot manager can boot other OS's as well.
Be aware though that windows may assign a drive letter to the windows installation other than
"c" (usually "d" of "f". That doesn't keep anything from working though.

Increase disk space allotted to Windows

I have a Mac Mini with following config: Mac OS X 10.5.8; 120 GB HD, 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB 667MHz DDR2 SD RAM. I have installed a licensed version of Windows XP SP2 and allotted it 10GB of space. Now I find the space woefully inadequate.
_How can I increase the disk space allotted to Windows without having to reinstall Windows?_ For a re-installation would mean downloading all the updates from SP3 till date all over again, also the drivers etc.
P.S. I need Win XP on the Mini for my children. They are taught Win XP at school.

Will try the same. But is there any 'free' software to do the same job reliably.
Sorry to say but no.
The only 'free' alternative would be a complete re-installation of BootCamp Windows with an increased partition size.

Designing for Windows & Mac

HELP, PLEASE! I've designed a site for a client, using
Dreamweaver 8, and he says the page is appearing differently in his
mac (text out of alignment) than in windows. Appears GREAT when I
view it through windows IE... What tool / element in Dreamweaver 8
do I use to design for BOTH platforms, where they will both look
the same. I am not a CSS user, but the traditional 'cells' and
fixed widths.... THANK YOU... THANK YOU!!!!

What browser and version is your client using? What is a link
to the pages?
Do the pages validate?

Not all free disk space available for windows partition in Boot Camp

Hi,
I want to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp on my MacBook (2009, Mavericks OS, BootCamp Assistant 5.1.2) and unfortunately it has been a huge struggle until now to achieve that. The whole reason for this is that I had Windows XP as the second OS on my MacBook, but I wanted to increase the Windows partition with Disk Utility. Unfortunately this permanently damaged my Windows partition so I couldn't use it anymore.
What I did next? I decided to delete the old Windows XP (which isn't supported anymore by Mavericks) with Disk Utility, which afterwards tells me that I have 1 partition left: The Mac partition.
From there on I wanted to install Windows 7 with the newer Boot Camp. The problem is that in fact Finder tells me that my Macintosh HD has 58,54 Gb free space, so I would like to assign at lease 30 Gb to the to-be Windows partition. However, Boot Camp only gives me the option to assign 20 until 24 Gb, other values I can't assign.
Can anyonetell me why this happens or what could be the problem? I need to have more than 24 Gb available for my Windows as this was the whole reason why I once wanted to increase my old Windows partition, that's where all the problems came from.
I appreciate your help, thank you!
Here is what Disk Utility tells about my partitions:

TTBOMK the only way you can increase the Windows partition is to repartition the drive back to a single partition
Then reinstall Mountain Lion
Restore all data from backup
Create new larger partition with Boot Camp
Install Windows
Restore data from backup

Share disks over WAN for Windows

I spent a lot of time searching through the forum to find the solution for my problem but I could not seem to find the concrete solution for it. Hence, I'm asking for help.
Problem description:
I can't access my USB drives connected to the Airport Extreme over the WAN from Windows XP. However, it's working fine with my Mac.
My Configuration:
+ Airport Extreme firmware version 7.2
+ 3 USB drives connected to the Airport Extreme via the USB hub
Using the AirPort Utility, I have configured the followings.
+ On the Airport/Base Station tab, I have enabled "Allow configuration over Ethernet WAN port" and "Advertise configuration globally using Bonjour"
+ On the Disks/File Sharing tab, I have enabled "Enable file sharing" with accounts options (and I have created different user accounts). I also enabled "Share disks over Ethernet WAN port" and "Advertise disks globally using Bonjour"
+ On the Advanced/Bonjour tab, I have enabled "Use a wide-area hostname"
+ I also registered my dynamic IP address at home with DynDNS
My Observations:
+ At home (this means locally), I can access all the drives from all of my machines including, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac Mini, PowerBook.
+ Outside of home (this means over the (WAN), either at work or at my friend's house, I still can access all the drives from my PowerBook. However, I CANNOT access any of the drives from any Windows machines.
My Understanding:
+ On Mac, it uses AFP protocol for file sharing and this is working fine locally or over the WAN.
+ On PC, it uses CIFS protocol for file sharing and Airport Extreme seems to have issue with this over the WAN.
Help!!!
If anyone has found a working solution and has tried it yourself and you know it works, please post the solution with detail steps. Your help will be highly appriciated. I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one who has this issue.
Thanks

Ahansen,
I don't think this issue has anything to do with static IP address. For most of us in the US, although we have the dynamic IP address from our ISP (I have Comcast in my case), if the modem/router is always on 24/7, the IP address does not get renewed.
Again, although, I have the dynamic IP address, I have the same IP address for many months. I have been using the same IP address to remote desktop back to my server at home when I'm away from home.
I don't see how the static IP address is revelant here in this case unless I'm missing something.
If it works for you, everyone will appreciate you very much if you can post the detail instruction here.

Bad disk IO performance for window vm

Hi,
I created some windows vm on OVM and find the disk IO performance is really bad.
For example:
I created a win2008 R2 64bit VM with DB, and installed OVM windows PV Drivers on it.
And I assign the CPU as 2.4G * 6, memory as 8G, HD as 100G.
If I create a 2G tablespace for DB, it will spent over 1 hour.
The installation for Oracle DB will spend 2 days.
I think it's caused by OVM server's HD.
It's 500G 2.5inch hard disk *4, and I did raid0+1 for it.
The OVS folder is 1T.
What should I do to improve the IO performance.
Thanks!

After Effects cc not starting due to optix.1.dll error or not designed for Windows

Hi support team,
                       I cannot open after effects cc due to a problem with a optix.1.dll error . Attached is a sreen shot. I suspect is the nvidia video card that has problems.
Anyone one has the same problems? Any solutions for this? Thank you.
Regards,
Elias Lo

Hi Todd,
           Thanks for your reply. I managed to solve it by reinstalling the After Effects CC. This error occurred when I haven't updated my laptop , especially the video card updates. Therefore , optix.1.dll is only 0kb as a file , in the support file for AE cc.
              I hate the GeForce experience by Nvidia. One of its updates caused Windows to prevent starting. I have to reinstall Windows and reinstall Adobe Creative Cloud, hence the issue. Thanks Todd , will always be an Adobe supporter.

A program designed for windows will not install

I have been trying install the latest version of the Roche Accu-Chek Compass software on my new MacBook with Leopard, Bootcamp and the latest updated version of Windows XP all installed. The installation disk is OK (It installs on another PC OK. Accu-Chek support have been unable to help so far. I wonder if anyone else has had similar problems or can make any suggestions? The install wizard appears to start OK but then stops and a pop-up headed Install Error detected appears, saying "Install encountered an unexpected error please try again"
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I have found a solution! Download and install VM Fusions then install Accu-Chek Compass - it then works like a dream. In fact I am delighted with VM Fusions it seems work in the way I had hoped that Bootcamp would. I have obtained the 30 day trial version from

Hope this helps. ( I have no connection with VM Ware other than as a potential customer)

Hello, Mac doesn't have or know what program to use to open cd designed for windows

Hello, How do I upload photos from an older Samsung cell phone? My Mac doesn't know what program or app to use. The product cd is for use with windows. What software must I have to open these files? Went to App store, & there are too many apps. Which one do I need? Can't install the photos into Iphoto. I'm still new at this.

Install Windows on your Mac or ask a friend who owns a PC to help you.

I need a USB Headset with Mic to use for Webinar's and Go To Meeting sessions. There looks to be very few options that work with the Mac as they seem to be designed for Windows. Any suggestions on equipment?

I am looking for a binaural USB headset with microphone to use during Go To Meeting sessions and Webinar's. Seems to be little that works with the iMac and most of the web searches have not been encouraging. Any suggestions on units that work. I have a new iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

No Support for Windows 7! Extremely Frustrated! Help!

Ok, so here's the deal. I have TX1220us tablet pc. It came with Vista 32-bit Home Premium on it. Everybody knows that Vista is a resource hog, and running the 32-bit version on a 2.2 gig 64-bit processor is a complete waste of performance capabilities. So, what's the ideal thing to do? Upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate of course! Not so easy... After upgrading, almost nothing works properly on my computer. I did this 8-10 months ago, and immediately noticed the problems. My CD/DVD Lightscribe Drive only functions partially, it only reads some discs and won't burn anything. The fingerprint sensor doesn't function at all. Worst of all, the digitizer (touchscreen) is no longer touch sensitive. The quick launch buttons werent working for a while, but I installed some vista drivers, and luckily was able to get 2 of the 4 to work.
So what do I do? I talk to HP Support for help. Unfortunately, the only "support" that I could get out of them was in the form of a few sentences. "Unfortunately, HP does not recommend upgrading from the pre-installed operating system. HP does not support anything but the pre-installed operating system" and "This is something that HP is currently developing, and we will update the support page as soon as updates are available for your hardware". The irony of this all is this: At the exact time that HP gave me the first statement, there was an ad with a link from HP on the right margin of my models support page stating "The Wait for Windows 7 is Over! Upgrading your computer has never been easier!".
Again this was 8-10 months ago that I went through all of this, and now I finally decided to give it another try. You'd think in 10 months that they would be able to develop some sort of updates for customers. Wrong... I once again received the exact same responses with absolutely no sense of concern or care for the happiness of a customer from the support representative. I have finally decided that this is some sort of marketing scheme or sales scam to force their customers to go out and buy a new computer, even though there is no need for it. My laptop is 300x faster on Win7 x64 than it was on Vista, and after paying for an expensive new operating system for a tablet that i purchased only 3 years ago for $1,600 I have no intent on going out and purchasing a new one just so I can run Windows 7.
Does anybody know who to talk to about getting issues like this resolved or to get compensation for HP's complete lack of care for customer satisfaction? Any info would be nice. Finally, if anybody has come up with a way to get this system working properly on Win 7, I'm open for suggestions. I have tried installing HP Vista drivers on my system, but when I run the setup packages, they exit out saying that the setup programs are designed for windows vista, that it has detected a different operating system, and that the setup will now exit.
Help!
tx1220us - Windows 7 Ultimate x64 - Nothing but problems

I think you would be very surprised at how many of your drivers are supported natively by Windows 7. I have an even newer AMD laptop which I installed W7 on and had to install very few drivers. Running Windows Update manually from Control Panel and choosing to also see 'Optional' updates gave me those.
