Installing Lion clean on hard drive with multiple partitions

I have a spring 2008 24" iMac running Snow Leopard.
I am about to put a new 2TB hard drive in it and after I do that I want to do a clean install of Lion on it.
I do not want to upgrade my Snow Leopard install to Lion. I will keep it on my back up drive as a fallback incase of serious workflow incompatiblities with the new OS.
For my workflow I create and use multiple partitions (Mac OS, Windows and multiple HFS+ for data) on my hard drive and I have seen that Lion creates it's own hidden recovery partition as well for the recovery functionality.
My questions are:
1) Will I have issues running Lion on a partition on a hard drive with multiple partitions that have different file systems?
2) If I install Lion into one of these partitions will it create it's recovery partition within the space of the partition it is being installed into?
3) I will be creating a clean install by downloading Lion using the App Store and then burning an installer DVD using instructions I found elsewhere and then using that to do the install on the new drive. Is that the best route to take?
All my current data I will have on a backup external hard drive and after I complete the Lion install on the new larger drive I will manually reinstall all my software and move my data back from my backup drive to the new drive one partition at a time except of course for OS partition. I keep all my real user data outside of that partition anyway.

I believe this article answers most of your questions.

You will most likely run into the error message that "Some features of Mac OS X Lion are not supported for the disk" if you have multiple partitions set up, especially if they were not set up using Bootcamp and/or have serveral different file systems.
You can confirm that the Recovery Partition will not be installed by checking Disk Utility for your current partition map scheme.
This is most definitely not the end of the world as it is quite easy to create an external Recovery disk.
1) No, you shouldn't have issues running Lion, but Recovery HD will not be created.
2) No, and in your case it doesn't sound like it will be installed on your internal drive at all.
3) Yes. If you begin with an empty partition, then install Lion that would be considered a clean install.
Hope that helps.

How to install lion cleaning the hard drive

I have a MacBook I am currently running Liuon but have previously installed Leopard and Snow Leopard without clearing the hard drive first.
The machine has now three operating systems installed and is running very slow.
It has been suggested that I make a copy of the hard drive, before erasing all the information and loading Lion on a clean hard drive.
How do i do this?

Install Lion to a blank drive or partition, including one created with the Disk Utility, and then either use the Migration Assistant or copy your files to the new system manually as desired.

Can programs be installed on an external hard drive with my mac pro?

Can programs be installed on an external hard drive. I am running low on space. Final Cut Pro X spins off the rendering files which takes a large chunk of space. Like to at least have those rendered files on an external drive, but can find that option to make it happen.

Hello Ian. I am currently using Lion installed on a WD My Passport 500Gig drive connected to my MBPro via USB, which is still running 10.6.8. Like you I am not prepared to lose all my currently functioning Mac, but also like to see how the new OS runs before making the total switch, maybe when it gets to 10.7.2
So after you download Lion and select to run the installer it will show you which disk to install on, being the default SL drive you downloaded Lion with. But here you can click Other Disk and select the external HD. The installer will run and then boot into the external drive to complete the installation. From then on you can use Startup Disk or the Option key to select the preferred OS.

Cannot install Lion on External Hard Drive

I have a brand new ssd in a hard drive enclosure and want to put lion on it before I install it into the computer, taking out the old hard drive (with SL on it). I got it from the app store, it installs until it has to restart, and then after it restarts and is installing is says cannot install because it cant create a recovery partition or something like that. How can I do this? Do I need to install the empty ssd, then have lion on a bootable usb and install from there? Thanks in advance.

Carbon Copy Cloner will make a bootable external drive. The old version is shareware if you can download it, the new version is commercial. It is a great program. I have been using it for years back to a G4. Many backups do not create a bootable drive.

How do I install Lion on external hard drive? I have purchased and downloaded through App Store but do not know where the download is located so I can install.

I want to install Lion on an external hard drive. The OS was purchased and downloaded through the App Store but I do not know where the file is.

If you downloaded the installer it will be in your applications folder. Failing that use spotlight start typing Install and it should show up.
This is assuming you downloaded the installer from the app store, and didn't just install it onto your mac. If all you have done is install it on your mac. Go to your purchases Lion should show up. Then click download.

Share a Hard Drive with Multiple Drives and Users

Background: I have an Airport Extreme (4th Generation) with two external hard drives connected via USB 2.0 and USB hub. I have Airport Utility setup to allow access to both drives via user accounts and passwords. From what I have gathered the way in which the user accounts and passwords work is the Airport Extreme makes two directories at to root level of the hard drive, 'Users' and 'Shared'. All files located in the 'Shared' directory are available to all user accounts setup in Airport Utility. Within the 'Users' directory are sub-directories named for each user account that is setup. All files located within the user directories are available to each respective user.
My trouble is the ability to see both the 'Shared' folders and the respective user folder when I authenticate with a user account. I am able to see the files in the 'Shared' directory on each of the two disks but it seems I am only able to see one of the user account directories and files.
Questions: My two questions are:
1) Is my understanding outlined above correct?
2) How might I be able to see the user directory on both disks as well as the 'Shared' directory on both disks.
I am hoping to still be able to use user accounts to access the disks as I have multiple people who store their files.

It didn't. After a night of testing, I found that I could get the router to at least let me create shares if I partitioned it as an MBR drive (GPT would not work at all), but it would not even rcognize a partition sized to 2TiB (tebibytes, 2048 GiB) or even one sized to 2TB (terabytes). The most it would recognize through my trial and error was about 1.5TiB, which I found odd.
This setup would have been too onerous, as it would have made about 746GiB completely unusable on the drive (outside the largest area referenced by an MBR partition table), and I would have had a main partition for files and one that would be invisible to the router (it only read the first partition, obviously).
So luckily, Best Buy took the external hard drive back with no restocking fee (the WD My Book Essentials 3TB is on sale at $150 there if anyone is interested). I ended up just getting a Synology NAS enclosure and 2 2TB hard drives. I'll get those on Thursday (hopefully).

Unable to install Lion on new hard drive.

Hello,
My brothers laptop hard drive died so I am fixing it for him. I've replaced the hard drive, created a bootable USB Lion install by following http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/08/make-a-bootable-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-installer-from -a-usb-flash-drive/.
I plug in the USB, hold down option, select the USB drive, and I get the wheel spinning and apple logo. After two or so minutes it turns into:
Does anyone have any idea as to why I am getting this? I've tried changing which USB hub it uses, tried redoing the USB, used a different USB, verified the md5sum (145dc094527a8d5f5f601c7fa53d7577) all to no avail.

Most likely you have a non-functioning system. It could be because the flash drive was not partitioned and formatted properly before you created the system on it or a flaw in your cloning. Not knowing which specific model you have it could also be that the system you cloned is not able to boot the computer because the computer requires a different version of Lion.

Cloning hard drive with multiple users.

I'm trying to clone my hard drive using disk utility ready to upgrade to Snow Leopard and increase memory at the same time. I've formatted the new drive selecting one GUID Partition and Mac Extended Journalled format. The cloning keeps failing at up to 18GB out of 111GB total. I logged in as administrator and saw that many files in other users' accounts are marked with a little red - sign so I can't access them. Is this the cause of the failure? I have tried selecting file sharing and allowing administrator access to all users' files but it didn't get rid of the - signs. Any ideas, please?

Is disk utility really no good? Does that explain it?!
In that case I'd better get ccc or superduper later but right now i only have 500MB space left on my mac so I can't add anything more. I've had a look at what I've achieved so far and the copying stopped in the middle of an old xerox printer plugin in the library after 1 hour of slow but good work. I finished copying the library by drag and drop and it all looks the same as the original. That leaves previous systems, systems and users. Can I just keep going by dragging and dropping?
Right now my problem is that I tried to copy previous systems and after nearly 2 hours it is still 'preparing to copy' and i can't stop it, it doesn't respond.

How should I upgrade hard drive with bootcamp partition & Parallels too

I need to replace the hard drive in my 24" iMac (model 8,1 - early 2008). My major concern is how to deal with my Windows XP in Parallels using a Bootcamp partition. I have yet to find software that runs in OSX 7 (Lion) that will clone both the OSX partition and the Bootcamp NTFS partition. It would appear that the most practical approach would be to use bootcamp assistant to remove the NTSF bootcamp partition and then clone just the OSX partition to my new drive and then recreate the bootcamp and parallels installations and reinstall Windows XP from scratch. Seems rather inelegant, so I'm hoping someone has advice based on experience. I'm truly hoping there is a more elegant way and any suggestions are appreciated.

Kinda sticky, but there is a way. You'll need three separate tools for the job:
The External Hard Disk: Indispensable. Get one that's at least 2x bigger than your current internal drive. You'll need it as an interim storage point
Winclone: This free software will allow you to image the Boot Camp volume. Since the developers closed shop, it's off to MacUpdate for a copy. Run it and clone the data to the external drive
Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.3: Same as above, but for your OS X volume. This essentially puts a slick front-end on Disk Utility's cloning powers, but it really works well. Get it at http://www.bombich.com/
As for restoring the volumes:
Restore the Mac side first from Snow Leopard, using the created image from CCC. Let it take up the full of the new drive
Now, run Boot Camp Assistant to size up a new Windows volume. You should not need to reload Windows--that's where Winclone comes in.
Use Winclone to recover the XP side now, and if necessary, resize the volume.
If done correctly, you'll keep XP as you update to Lion on the Mac side--but you can't upgrade the drivers past 3.2.

Time Machine doesn't like external drives with multiple partitions

I've had a problem with Time Machine on both 10.5.0 & 10.5.1 - Time Machine could not create the initial backup regardless of all the things I tried.
I have a Powerbook with a 300Gb Maxtor connected via firewire 800. This drive had been partitioned into three partitions (which I've used with other backup tools without problem).
Apparently the problem I had been having with Time Machine was that there were three separate partitions on the external drive. As soon as I took a chance and wiped all of those partitions and made a single partition, everything was fine.
I had called Apple Tech Support shortly after I got Leopard and when I discovered the problem with Time Machine. I specifically asked if there would be a problem from the multiple partitions and they didn't think there would be, but they were sure. Looks like Apple was wrong.
If you are having problems with Time Machine with a drive that has multiple partitions, trying changing your external into a single partition drive.

You will note that I was referring to a Powerbook and the Apple Partition Scheme. There might be something different happening for Intel/GUID users.
10.5.1 did address other issues with other partition types. Time Machine seems to have trouble with certain partition schemes. I'm not surprised that multiple partitions and GUID works because of things like bootcamp. Apple probably tested specifically for that type of config. They may not have worked all the bugs out of multiple partitions on a Apple Partition Scheme.

How do partition a hard drive with different partition schemes?

How can you partition an external HD with different partition schemes for different partitions? GUID one one partition and Apple Partition Map on another?
Thanks.

I am trying to add a second partition to my (1TB) external firewire HD. Apparently it was preformatted as "MS-DOS (FAT)" and I started putting lots of files on there. Now the "partition" option in disk utility shows me the one partition that's on there, but all options are grayed-out - I cannot add another partition, it seems, nor change anything on the existing one. Is there any possible solution other than totally erasing the disk and starting from scratch? I would be hard-pressed to find enough disk space to (even temporarily) store the stuff that's already on that HD.

Macbook Pro 10.7.5, need to clone hard drive with two partitions?

I have a Macbook Pro running 10.7.5. I have two partitions on the current 750GB drive and just purchased a Samsung 750GB SSD. I want to do an exact clone to the new drive but am struggling with the fact that I have two partitions on the current drive and seemingly all the advice talks about cloning the Macintosh HD only.
I need to clone both partitions to the new SSD. I can't, don't want to, reinstall anything.
Is there a way to clone the entire drive, not just the boot partition?
Thanks!!!

...Weird as all the word on the internet is how difficult it is to clone the Win installation, am I missing something?...
When cloning difficulties with Win installations are discussed, it's almost always Boot Camp. Virtual Machines are just really big files which can be copied and moved like any other file (though Parallels or VMware Fusion will detect that and ask if you've copied or moved the file and getting the answer right is important). That's just one of the many virtues of virtual machines - easy cloning and duplication.
... All reports show the EVO as the faster of the two drives but I swear the M500 is much faster on my desktop (Win7 Pro) than the EVO was. I mean they both are fast but, as an example, launching DVD Profiler Pro with over 4,000 entries would take the EVO 19 seconds or so, but the M500 does it in about 13 seconds...
That is puzzling because looking at this review for example, the Samsung does come in ahead of the M500 most of the time.
...Do you have any other advice to ensure I'm getting the most out of the SSD and my Macbook, 10.7.5?...
Normally I'd suggest activating TRIM but you've already done that. And while any update would disable TRIM, if you're using TRIM Enabler, that pops up to let you know TRIM needs to be turned on again. But since you've reached the end of the update line with Lion, that only applies if you move to Mountain Lion or Mavericks. However, if you're booting from a different drive to work on the SSD, TRIM needs to be enabled on that drive too. Even if it's a HD, the OS will use TRIM on the SSD you're working on.
The only thing that comes to mind is not to fill the SSD to the brim with files. There are fundamental differences between SSD's and hard disks and for best performance, that needs to be respected. This discussion goes into some detail so you can appreciate what the SSD controller has to do.

Upgrading hard drive with bootcamp partition

On my MacBook i've got a Lion partition and a Bootcamp partition with the Windows 8 Consumer preview. Would it be possible to copy the partitions from my current drive to a bigger drive and extend each the partitions to make use of the extra space? I would rather not have to reinstall both Lion and Windows as I've got all the apps and settings i like on Lion and getting an OpenGL graphics driver to work (so i could play Minecraft) and installing VB6 was a huge hassle.

You can clone both the Mac and the Boot Camp Partitions separately to external drives then back clone to the new drive after installation. Be sure to clone the Mac Partition with Carbon Copy Cloner which can copy the lion recovery partition also. After having the clone of the Mac installed then set up anew Boot Camp partition but don't install any Windows OS. Clone the original Boot Camp partition with Winclone or Paragon HDM 12 themn back clone this to the newly creaed BootCamp partition.
You might want to scan the Boot Camp section of these forums for comments on this process.

Can I keep my Lightroom 3 catalog on a PowerMac hard drive with Apple Partition Map

I want to keep my LR3 catalog on a HD in my Power Mac (Intel chip) that I had formatted and used to store my pre-LR3 photo folders on my G5 tower. The 1TB drive is half full, and was formatted as an Apple Partition Map. On swapping the drive into an empty bay in my Power Mac, I can open photos saved on the drive, although I can't seem to rename them. I created my brand new LR3 catalog on the drive as well, but haven't done anything other than import the LR3 catalog I had already created and exported from my MacBook. Other than the drive not being bootable on my Intel Power Mac, are there any risks to managing my LR3 catalog from this drive? Or should I only keep my LR3 catalog on a GUID partitioned drive?
This HD is not of course my startup drive, but only to be used to store my photos.

Oops, I should have used "Mac Pro" to describe my Intel machine, not "Power Mac"

Question about using HFS+ & FAT partitioned hard drive with Windows

Theoretically, if I have a [mobile] hard drive with one partition being "HFS+" and the other partition "FAT," What would happen if I used it on a PC? Would it only mount the "FAT" partition or both the "FAT" Partition and the "HFS+" Partition?
Apple Mac mini (2005) Mac OS X (10.4.7) PowerMac10,2: 1.5GHz, 512MB RAM, 80GB HD, BT/AE...

Unfortunately, you cannot have drive partitioned partly as Mac OS Extended and FAT32 that can be used on both a PC and a Mac. To use the drive on both you need to format the entire drive FAT32 as a single partition. Alternatively, you can format the drive Mac OS Extended and partition the drive, but to use the drive on a Windows PC you would need Windows software for reading and writing Mac disks, such as MediaFour's MacDrive.
That said there is a technique for doing what you want, and it's described here.
