Is it possible to have multiple partitions on my hard disk drive and use Bootcamp to install Windows?

Hi all,
Here is my question: I have MBP early 2011 and was trying to install Windows 8 using Bootcamp but the option to install Windows is grayed out so I can’t click the box next to “Install or Remove Windows 7.” Is this because I have multiple partition on my hard disk drive? Is there anyway I can install Windows 8 using Bootcamp without deleting my partitions on my hard disk?
Few more details:
Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Bootcamp 5.0.0
Thanks for your response

You can't create a Boot Camp partition on a drive you've already partitioned, and you can't install Windows 8 through Boot Camp at this time.

    Hello Everyone,
              I have a MacBook older model with me.I am running 10.7.6 on that, I was trying to use BootCamp to install windows on my mac. Since BootCamp can only work on a single Volume, I partitioned my Hard Disk to one volume.
    Using BootCamp I installed windows and everything worked fine. After installing windows and testing everything, I switched back to OS X and this time I tried to make another partition on my single portioned Mac volume and named it Backup. That too worked. Now I have three Volumes
    1)Development2)Backup3)BootCamp.
    Next when I switched to Windows, It should the classic error, No Bootable device found, please insert a Bootable CD and press any key. When I tried to enter my Mac OS X install DVD and by pressing option key, it does not show me the proper Mac OS X development volume. It keeps going back to the No bootable device found message.
    Any help will be much appreciated

    you can't add a partition in between - you put Windows to a new partition number.
    GPT (GUID)
    EFI
    Mac HFS
    Lion Recovery
    Windows
    And now you have two HFS
    One partition and one Windows (plus Lion Recovery).
    If you were to have more, it can't be before Windows for one thing.

  • Is it possible to use bootcamp to install windows on a flash drive (rather than an HD partition)?

    I would like to run windows on my Mac preferably from a flash drive, or an external drive. I don't want to install it locally because I don't have enough HD space. I've found a few sites and videos that show you how to do this from a PC (like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh-F6dcXmsE) but I don't have a PC and I'd like to know if it's possible to use bootcamp to accomplish this.
    Thanks very much for any help! Would be greatly appreciated.

    If you have Windows-to-Go, it can be installed on an external disk, otherwise Windows licensing restricts it. Bootcamp has additional checks to enforce such licensing.
    You can always install it on an internal drive first and then put the drive in a USB enclosure.

  • Dismount multiple external hard disk drives

    I have multiple external hard disk drives and was wondering what the command line is that will dismount all of these at once? Note that there is also one external DVD unit as well which I would not want to dismount.
    Thanks,
    Lyman

    diskutil unmount "/path/to/disk";diskutil unmount "/path/to/disk";diskutil unmount "/path/to/disk"
    Just replace replace "/path/to/disk" with the path to the mount point, leaving the quotes.
    Good luck!

  • Is it possible to have multiple search results page using one Search Enterprise Center site?

    Hi,
    We're using SharePoint 2013 and I'm trying to modify the search results page for one site collection. By default, it uses the search results page from the parent site which is the search center being used by default for the web application. I need to make
    sure that the site collection will only retrieve search results within the site collection (search everything has to be disabled). I found a way but I had to create another search center site to accomplish this, otherwise, it will affect the search center
    site of all other site collections on the web app.
    Now is it possible to have multiple search results page using one Search Enterprise Center site?

    Hi,
    According to your description, you want to retrieve the search results within the site collection.
    As a workaround, you can create a custom result source for the site collection and you will retrieve the search result within the site collection.
    More information about how to create result source in SharePoint 2013, please refer to :

  • Is it possible to have multiple locations in the Google Maps widget?

    Hey folks,
    Lets say you're designing a website for a client with multiple stores, you just want to point them all out, right?
    Just want to know if it is possible to have multiple locations in the Google Maps widget. I guess it shouldn't be that difficult, but I can't figure it out..
    any help would be highly appreciated!
    thanks,
    Thom

    It seems that you can only use one address for this widget.
    For this to work you will need to create the map in Google Maps with all your points and then copy the embed .html from Google into Muse.
    Example of an embed google map with multiple points imported into Muse:

  • Possible to swap multiple partitions into a table?

    Hi,
    We are using partition exchnage to swap individual partitions into table which then backed up.
    This being done one partition at a time.
    Is it possible to swap several partitions of a tabel in one go.
    using Oracle 11.2.0.3
    partioned by date, one partition of reach day.
    Is it possible say to move the last 7 days partitions into the other table for backup using partition exchange?
    Thanks

    >
    No.
    If the goal is to back up the data why not just use expdp to export the data for all seven partitions at once? Then drop the partitions.
    If you only use one regular table for the exchange you would have to start with an empty table, swap one partition, backup the table, truncate the table, swap the next partition and so on.
    Or you could create a table with seven empty partitions and swap the 7 partitions one at a time and then backup the new partitioned table.
    Or you could create seven tables and swap each one with a partition and then backup all seven tables.
    Too many choices.

  • Is it possible to have multiple "ATI HD 3870" in a macpro?

    is it possible to have multiple "ATI HD 3870" in a macpro?
    thinking of getting me a mp but want more videocards with more vram (more more more)
    now there is the option to get 4 ati2600 can i also install 4 3870's?
    -mj

    Power limit on the video card power supply is 350 watts. A 3870's maximum power consumption is 170 watts.
    There are slots for up to four video cards. That's all. If the four cards don't require more power than the power supply can provide, then you could install four cards. For example you could install four 7300s since each card only requires 50 watts..
    As I said more video cards just gets you more monitors. There is not improvement in video performance nor amount of video RAM.

  • Is it possible to have multiple pause the require view to click "continue" button to proceed?

    Is it possible to have multiple pauses the require view to click "continue" button to proceed?

    1. Turn the video into a symbol.
    2. Set stage, symbol and video to not autoplay.
    3. Set play in the video playback at the start of the video timeline.
    4. Set pause in the video playback at the prefered time on symbol timeline.
    Once I convert it to a symbol , the pause funtion is not showing on playback.
    5. Zoom in as much as you can on symbol timeline and set trigger "stop all" for the symbol right after the pause playback marking.
    6. Set play in the video playback right after the "stop all trigger" marking.
    7. Create button with action play symbol.
    You can now play a video which will stop at a pre set pause, and make it countinue to run by clicking the play button again.

  • Is it possible to have multiple different texts conversations with the same two people?

    In iOS 8.1.3 is it possible to have multiple different text conversations with the same person? I'm looking for a way to set an old conversation aside to talk about something new.
    Is this possible?

    speculation is agaisnt the ToS here, but you never know (I was shocked when we got 8 track recording in GB2)
    best thing to do is to send Apple some Feedback and let them know what features you want (they really do read what's sent):

    Youshould set one of them up to extend the wireless network. That one would not need an Ethernet connection and would allow your network to cover a broader area.

  • Hi, I have macbook Pro, running Leopard OS X. I partitioned my hard drive a while ago to install windows and only allowed myself 10 Gig of data. Anyway, i deleted windows and want another OSX on there instead. How do i make this partition bigger please??

    Hi, I have macbook Pro, running Leopard OS X. I partitioned my hard drive a while ago to install windows and only allowed myself 10 Gig of data. I deleted windows after i realised i wasnt enjoying using it at all and wasted my hard drive. I now decided that i want another OSX on there instead yet i have only allowed myself 10 gb on the partition. I have ben thru some programms but am struggling on making this partition bigger.
    I only want it at 20gb but cant seem to make the partition bigger, only smaller or split it into further partition.
    Is there a way to do this, i have all installation discs from original OSX so think this could help.
    Any help please would be fantastic.
    Thanks Chris

    Hi, dragging the partition will only make smaller, not larger. In disk utility you can only split or make smaller the partitions. Yes i booted from installation disks also but still no help.
    And Brody, I am willing to erase the disc completely, infact jus started doing a backup in order to do so but that failed also. And the information you gave on partition a hard drive, Although very simple and i already know how to do this, but it wont let me make the partition bigger, and i dont want to make a new partition, just enlarge the one i already have, which i dont see possible from disk utility.
    Getting really frustrated now, even backing up is saying no to me. **** external being a douche.
    I dont mind erasing the hard drive but surely this must be doable without deleting the secondary partition back t a single volume, and re partitioning into 2 volumes again.
    Thanks again
