Lost my disk partition for VMWare

I update to Lion, I had a partition for My Virtual Windows DOS to run some resident programs. Now I can not find the partition or any shortcut to find it. I do not what to do.
How may I see the partition without running my time machine to return to the previous OS.

Yes I think It does, it stills there..
/dev/disk0

Now the message while I try to open the WMWare
This version of VMware Fusion does not work with the 64-bit kernel of Mac OS X you are currently running.
To use VMware Fusion, you need to restart your computer using the 32-bit kernel of Mac OS X.

    Hi,
    This assumes that Windows 7 was the original OS that your notebook came with.
    If you created a set of Recovery Discs you can use these to reinstall the original OS - they will also re-create the Recovery Partition on the Hard Drive as well as reinstalling all your original software.  Remember this is a destructive process, so back up any personal files etc that you wish to keep before reinstalling the Operating System.
    If you don't have your original Recovery Discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

  • Creating DAS or SAN Disk Partitions for ASM

    Oracle® Database Installation Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) for Linux (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24321/oraclerestart.htm#CHDBJGEB)
    *3.6.3 Step 2:* Creating DAS or SAN Disk Partitions for Oracle Automatic Storage Management
    In order to use a DAS or SAN disk in Oracle ASM, the disk must have a partition table. Oracle recommends creating exactly one partition for each disk.
    My question: why does Oracle recommend creating exactly one partition for each disk? For a disk to be used on Suse Linux, I normally need to at the least 3 partitions, i.e., boot, swap, and root.
    Scott

    Please read the entire manual - before starting setup and configuration.
    From the very same manual:
    Do not specify multiple partitions on a single physical disk as a disk group device.
    Oracle ASM expects each disk group device to be on a separate physical disk.So why use partitioning? If you need to subdivide a LUN into smaller LUNs and use these instead of the larger LUN. Reasons could range from LUNs bigger than 2TB in size (ASM only support up to 2TB size LUNs), to wanting partition 1's of x size for ASM diskgroup 1 and partition 2's of y size for ASM diskgroup 2.
    If you do partition, take the extra precaution of marking the partition as a non-file system (partition type <i>da</i>) to safeguard against someone (like a sysadmin looking for space) from mounting it as a file system.
    Generally though - I would not partition LUNs for ASM use.

  • How to reuse the same disk (partition) for next ASM configuration?

    Hello All,
    I had successfully installed and configured ASM instance once, but I need to do a reinstallation and I would like to use the same disk (partition) as with previous ASM configuration.
    The disk path used was: /dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s7
    I have to regretfully admit that I may not have used the right ASM un-installation procedure. I ran installer and opted to de-install products. Consequently, I had removed ASM home. Now, when I running new ASM installation, everything goes fine until the screen where I should select disks for ASM configuration. Unfortunately, I see the /dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s7 with status > MEMBER < and I can't select it for the new ASM installation.
    I will really appreciate if anyone can let me know how to change status from MEMBER to CANDIDATE.
    Thank you for your time.
    DanielD

    Overwrite the first several MB of the partition with /dev/zero.
    So, use this command:
    # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s7 bs=1024k count=10
    That clears out the ASM header on the disk so that it looks like a clean disk again.

  • Disk partitions for ASM

    A client of mine is installing ASM and I have concerns about their proposed configuration. I'd like to run it past this forum to see if my concerns are justified.
    This is a non-RAC 11g install on RHEL5. We have 32 disks (2 vtracks X 16) of 144GB each. This storage will be used for 2 DEV databases running on the same machine. They want two diskgroups per database-- one for the Flash Recovery Area, and another one for everything else.
    The client's SA wants to spread the IO out across all the disks, so he has made 4 partitions on each of the 32 disks: one partition for each diskgroup. So the final allocation of disks is going to look something like this:
    create diskgroup DEV1_DATA
      normal redundancy
      failgroup vtrak1_1
      disk
        'ORCL:DISK01_P1'
        'ORCL:DISK16_P1'
      failgroup vtrak2_1
      disk
        'ORCL:DISK17_P1'
        'ORCL:DISK32_P1'
    create diskgroup DEV2_DATA
      normal redundancy
      failgroup vtrak1_2
      disk
        'ORCL:DISK01_P2'
        'ORCL:DISK16_P2'
      failgroup vtrak2_2
      disk
        'ORCL:DISK17_P2'
        'ORCL:DISK32_P2'
    create diskgroup DEV1_FRA
      normal redundancy
      failgroup vtrak1_3
      disk
        'ORCL:DISK01_P3'
        'ORCL:DISK16_P3'
      failgroup vtrak2_3
      disk
        'ORCL:DISK17_P3'
        'ORCL:DISK32_P3'
    create diskgroup DEV2_FRA
      normal redundancy
      failgroup vtrak1_4
      disk
        'ORCL:DISK01_P4'
        'ORCL:DISK16_P4'
      failgroup vtrak2_4
      disk
        'ORCL:DISK17_P4'
        'ORCL:DISK32_P4'
    ;OK? So here's my problem:
    This means that two separate databases will be sharing the same physical device and that this will result in IO contention. Am I not right? Or is ASM smart enough to deal with this?
    The client says that the more disks we spread data across, the better the performance will be. But I am doubtful.
    Trouble is, I have never set up ASM in this way; I have only added whole disks to diskgroups. Would anyone care to comment on this setup? Are my fears justified?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    This means that two separate databases will be sharing the same physical device and that this will result in IO contention. Am I not right? Or is ASM smart enough to deal with this?
    ASM is smart enough to deal with 2 database or more, but my concern should be if ASM instance is down or crashes it will take both the database down.
    The client says that the more disks we spread data across, the better the performance will be. But I am doubtful.
    Always test,  and i tend to agree with the client but that doesn't mean it wil be the case all the time. So once again test.
    Trouble is, I have never set up ASM in this way; I have only added whole disks to diskgroups. Would anyone care to comment on this setup? Are my fears justified?
    I didn't quite get this question, can you elobrate more here.

  • Disk partition for install Boot Camp

    Hi there
    Finally yesterday i get my iMac 20, but with 10.4.10 installed. Now i want to install Boot Camp to install WindowsXP.
    My question: I really need to make a partition to install Windows on a disk and the MacOSX in the other partition ???

    LATE post - for those who come after:
    Boot Camp REQUIRES a single, JOURNALLED HFS+ partition (created after midnight on a full moon's wane...*grin*...It's very Particular...) as a starting point - so you better give it one.
    In response to junihh's other point: Parallels can be told to use the BootCamp partition as it's very own HDD so, my suggestion would be (as I happen to agree with you): DO IT that way and get the best of all worlds... you can STILL can use the windows from PC as independent window, like a Mac window.

  • Disk Partition for Windows failing

    Hi Everyone,
    May you pls help me on the following (for iMAC OS X Version 10.5.8):
    Wanted to partition main disk into two one for MAC OS the other for Windows 7 Pro, however, I'm getting error message ' Filesystem verify or repair failed'.
    Tried to fix it via Applications / Utilities / Utility Disk / First Aid / Verify Disk Permissions + Repair Disk Permissions + Verify Disk - didn't help.
    I'm getting two errors on the detailed report:
    1. The volume HOME need to be repaired 1%) ->>>> that's for checking volume information and
    2. incorrect number of file hard links ->>> that's for checking multi-linked files
    What do I need to do next to have this fixed?

    Thanks rkaufmann87. Just one more question: can I loose data? The data file is v.big, it will take me the whole day to make a backup. I'm far far from being an expert (as I see you are!), so, will you give me few hints how it will work: so, I'm inserting a CD, Mac OS X will be installing on top of the existing? will any list pop, so I may choose 'repair disk' ? What is the abbreviations for DU by the way? Sorry for silly questions (they kinda don't look so silly to me though )

  • Disk partition for Arch only

    Hi,
    at present I have Dual boot Arch with Windows. My HD is 120 GB and I want to re-partition it for using Arch linux only, plus leaving around 20GB for trying from time to time other distros. My question is how to do it properly? I have done a lot of reading, but Im still unable to decide how to go about. Now, for Arch I have only two partitions: / and /swap.
    (1) Do I need /boot partition after deleting windows?
    (2) Im reading that it is advisable to have /home and /usr partitions separate from / partitions. If that so, how much space should be allocated for each of these partitions?
    (3) What should be the order? /boot; /swap/; /; /home; /usr?
    Thanks for any suggestion.

    1) Not necessarily, but it is probably best if you are going to try out other distros.
    2) I don't separate / and /usr.  I have 10Gb for / - add more if you are going to install lots of stuff.  How much does you install use currently minus your home direcotry?
    3) /boot first, nothing else matters but I go /boot; /swap; /; /home - I think stuff near the start of the disk gets read faster so if you hardly use swap move / to second

  • Disk partition for Thinkpad W520

    I bought a machine of thinkpad w520. I want to partition my disk for three. How to do this? also it can not affect the rescovery disk. thank you for your advice.

    Create recovery media first, so you can restore if anything goes wrong.
    I'd say shrinking C: and creating some more logical partitions should work.

  • Lenovo S405 How To: Re-Install Windows 8 if you have lost your recovery partition

    To help some people out... I read some of you formatted your drive and now are stuck without the ability to restore Win 8 if you went to Win 7 before you knew there was an issue, or lost your recovery partition for any other reason. FYI, if you can get your hands on ANY Win 8 disk (doesn't matter if its Professional or the Regular version) and install it, your serial key for Win 8 is hardcoded into your motherboard BIOS. Therefore, if you have access to a disk, you can simply install and it will auto activate and install your pre installed key. No need to spend $90 or more if you don't have to.
    If you don't have an external DVD Drive, simply download the Win7 to USB tool from Microsoft (it will work for Win 8) and transfer the disk image to a USB thumb drive (from another PC of course). Then boot from the thumb drive to install. Note: You will have to go into the BIOS to turn OFF UEFI and allow it to boot and install from a thumb drive.
    In my experience, I had to turn off UEFI in the BIOS (Get to BIOS by pressing F2 at boot). By turn off, I mean place in "Legacy" mode. Then save and exit and allow to restart. Upon restart, enter the BIOS once again and you should now see your thumb drive appear on the list of bootable devices (the thumb drive has to be connected BEFORE booting into BIOS). Move the thumb drive up the list to be the first boot device, save and exit and you are in business.
    Also, if you have access to the MSDN, you can actually download the RTM version of Win 8 which once its installed will auto activate and install using your hard coded serial making it a legit, normal copy.
    I tried to write this as more of an overview and less of a "hand-holding" article for the purpose of quick reference. Any questions, please post. I will not provide links to any software mentioned in this article. Search engines are your friend.

    After changing from UEFI to Legacy mode the function keys (F2 or Fn + F2) are not working anymore. I can't access the BIOS anymore and boot from the USB. Any idea? Thanks
    All Ok now. Please ignore my previous comment

  • Increasing Disk Space on VMware ISE

    hi,
    i would like to increase the disk space for Vmware based cisco ise to 600gb.
    Increasing the raw disk space is fine on VMware, but how will the ISE or Linux OS modify the partition to recognise the extra disk space
    thank                

    Refreshing an old thread, but I was faced with this recently.
    If you're prepared to roll up your sleeves with Linux, I've figured out a procedure. In my case I couldn't rehost the license since it's an NFR version - and yes Tarik is correct a restore doesn't bring in the license.
    Some instructions here.

  • Deleting VMware fusion disk partition

    My HD has only a small amount of free space. 7GB. I am trying to improve things by removing VMware fusion which I haven't used for years. I think uninstalling the program will be easy. I am having trouble removing the disk partition which should free up 15GB for me.
    FYI it is VMware fusion 2.0.8.
    I removed the virtual machine from the library in VMware, but I believe the partition is still there.
    I have located the partition via these instructions:
    http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&d ocTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=1007599
    According to these instructions I drag the file I located in finder to the trash and that will delete the partition. Is that correct?
    http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=display KC&externalId=1017838
    Any help would be appreciated.
    TL

    I'm assuming you do not have an actual partition, but rather a container file stored under either your Documents folder or your home folder -> Library folder.
    The VMware Fusion app should preferences should be able to tell you where that container file is located.
    You could also try using the free OmniDiskSweeper utility (Google it). Just do not delete things you do not understand, as OmniDiskSweeper can show you essential system files you have never seen before and might think are unnecessary. If unsure, you can always ask if it OK to delete files you are unsure of.

  • I am setting up a time machine backup to a external Hard drive.  I want to backup by Mac book Pro running OSX 10.8.5. I would like to Partition the disk and use one partition for Time machine backups and the other for my Lightroom backups. How to do this?

    I want to create a two partition disk. One partition for time machine, the other for Lightroom backup. Currently Time Machine is using the entire drive and it is doing the intial encryption and is about 29% complete after two days.  I've decided that I want to turn encryption off and partition the disk. So I do I start over?

    With the external drive attached, open Finder>Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility.  Select the external drive from the list in the left side panel of the DU window.  In the main window panel, click Partition in the buttons top center of that panel.
    Select the number of partitions you want and adjust their sizes.
    For the first partition, click to highlight the partition, then select the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then the partition table as GUID [both of those are the defaults].  Click Apply and it will ask to confirm and erase and format that partion...oh, give the partition a name, like Backup. 
    Then repeat those steps for the second partition..and remember to name it...something like Lightroom.
    Close Disk Utilitty and you are ready to send TM to the one partition, and do your backup of Lightroom to the second partition.
