More than one Partition for Windows?

Hi all,
New to Mac:-)
Bought a MacBook Pro 13".
Now I want to install Win7 with Boot Camp.
On my PC I had several partitions like one For the Windows itself, one for all music files, one for fotos, another for all datas.
Is it possible to have several partitions for Win7 likewise and how can it be done?
Tks for answer

No. There are 4 partitions with Master Boot Record, but Mac OS X has two support partitions of its own, for a total of 3.
You can run Windows only on the internal drive and do what you want, and run Mac OS from an external drive (USB or Firewire).
Boot Camp is a limited environment in supporting Windows and allowing Windows to be installed on a system drive that actually uses GPT instead of MBR.

Why does Boot Camp think I have more than one partition on my hard drive?

I'm surprised I'm finding no remedy for this problem in my searches so far. My symptom is that when I run the Boot Camp Assistant app, I get the following error message:
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition." The instructions that are provided along with the error message are: "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
When I try to follow the instructions, I see that Disk Utility shows my drive as having a single partition. Nevertheless, I've backed up my Macintosh HD volume, re-artitioned the drive into a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume (once using the Snow Leopard Installation disk and once using Drive Genius 3), and restored my Macintosh HD volume. After all that, I still get the same error message. I even defragged my hard drive, which seems to have helped some users I've read about, but it hasn't helped me.
Something worth noting is that I recently upgraded to a bigger internal hard drive, and before doing so, I deleted the Boot Camp volume. I innocently thought I'd just do a fresh install sometime after replacing the hard drive, but hindsight tells me that I might have fallen victim to my own ignorance.
Is there a value stored in a register somewhere that's telling my OS that I have more than one partition when I really don't? Can someone out there help me do battle against my ignorance?
I'd be grateful for any help that can be sent my way...

Your welcome and good luck finding the solution. BTW as a newbie you benefit from:
Switch 101 & Mac 101.
Also you may want to reassess to see if you really need Windows on your computer. Remember if you install it you have all the issues every Windows users has to deal with. When I switched almost 4 years ago I installed Windows too but now I only turn it on to see if it still works. Of course your situation is different you may have proprietary software only designed for Windows and have to have it installed.

How to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

how to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

Only for the very brave......
Open up the Time Capsule (voids the warranty)
Pull the hard drive
Place the hard drive in a separate enclosure
Connect the enclosure directly to your Mac
Use Disk Utility to partition the hard drive
Reinstall the hard drive back in the Time Capsule
For the rest of us.....
The next best thing might be to set up one or more disk images on the Time Capsule, which will allow you reserve a given amount of space for each disk image.
Open up Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Click on the New Image tab
Navigate to the Time Capsule
Set up the disk image by naming it and specifying how much space you want to reserve

Why does Boot Camp Assistant already think I have more than one partition on my hard drive?

I used DG3 to initialize the HD, which essentially erases the disk if I understand correctly. I haven't used Superduper before, so perhaps that's worth looking into.
I did mentioned the use of DG3 to ensure that I had a single disk partition. I guess the restore from a clone or Time Machine was implied...
;o)
Thanks for putting some effort into helping me. I'll look at Superduper and let you know if that gets me anywhere...

The spell check goes with the keyboard layout being used. Just activate both English and French in Settings > General > Keyboard and then use the Globe key to switch between them.
(I think there is bug in Pages, however, so that this doesn't work for that -- you have to change the OS language).

Can i create more than one instance for single database?

HI
anybody can tell me how to create more than one instance for single database(without using RAC)?
thanks
Kalanidhi

Anandji,
I sometimes think differently. I also think like what this person is asking..(although I have installed and administering 5 different RAC databases)
The main doubt of mine is that we create multiple instances accessing the same storage area.
Anyway the controlfiles of all instances will have the same information except the instance_names and instance id's.
Hence I always think , why can't it be possible to to create another instance in the same system and point it to a controlfile which is copied from the other instance.
Why can't the same files be shared between the two instances in a same system ?
I know I am thinking a little bit confusing...
Anyway I need to test that also...

How to display more than one documents on windows 8 desktop?

how to display more than one documents on windows 8 desktop?

Adobe Reader Touch doesn't show more than one file on screen and doesn't show them on the desktop. Apparently these are very old fashioned things that Microsoft doesn't think we'll want to do any more and calls them "legacy" to make them sound antiquated.
If you want to do these things use the legacy Adobe Reader, a much more powerful and flexible app (and not obsolete in the slightest). http://get.adobe.com/reader . There are no legacy apps in the Windows App Store.

Creating more than one account for a single user

I was wondering, if I creat more than one account for me (the only person that uses my powerbook) is that going overboard? I mean, lets say I am logged into the standard account and I want to learn more about the bash shell and using terminal which I am new to, if I **** something up will the whole system be toast or will only things in that account be messed up? Like could I then just log into my admin account and delete the other messed up one? Or no? My theory was that this was a way of keeping my comp safe from myself, being that I am new to macs and moreso that I am new to the unix side of things and want to start learning the command line without worrying about screwing up my whole system. I would just use the standard account for everyday use (like what I do now) or experiment with terminal, and when I need to download something or change some settings that requires me to be logged in as admin then I would log in and download what I need then log out and use it in the standard account...am I just wasting my time? Is what I am doing any "safer" than just having one admin account and thats it?
Thanks for all the help! It feels good to be a part of the goodguys team =)
Thanks again!

Ghost,
First, I don't subscribe to the "one should not use an admin account" philosophy. For someone who is the owner and main user of any given machine, I see the use of anything but an admin account a bit anal, totally unecessary, and needlessly complicating.
On the other hand, I don't see the need for more than one admin account on any given machine. Yes, I see exceptions to this, and many people favor having a second admin account as a "backup," but I have never had more than one admin account on any of my machines, and have never encountered a situation where one would have helped.
In short, I like the idea of having a "main" admin account that is used most of the time, and then having "secondary" accounts (all non-admin) for any additional users that might log in.
Now, any limitations that apply to you as a GUI user of an account, admin or not, will apply to you at the command line as well. In other words, you can't get yourself into any more trouble at the command line than you can within the GUI. In fact, you might even be better protected at the command line than you are in the GUI. I say this because any action that would ordinarily "elevate" you above the standard capabilities of a non-admin user require the use of "sudo." Avoid the use of sudo, and you can avoid any problems.
That doesn't mean that you wouldn't be able to do something stupid that might wreck an account that contains "all of your stuff," and on which you depend. It is not likely that you would damage your System, but it is entirely conceivable that you might, for example, accidently delete or overwrite your entire HOME folder. Oops!
If you simply don't trust yourself with the command line, a second account might be a good place to experiment. Maybe create it as a non-admin account at first, with the option to change it to an admin account at a later time, when you want to learn how to use "sudo" to do more powerful things. By then, you will understand what not to do. Eventually, you will have the confidence to use the command line in your own account, which will have been an admin account all this while.

Hi Rebekh ,
I am recreating your packages for the desired output.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pack_str
AS
     TYPE type_refcur IS REF CURSOR;
     PROCEDURE str(char_in VARCHAR2,ans OUT type_refcur);
END pack_str;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY pack_str
AS
     PROCEDURE str(char_in VARCHAR2,ans OUT type_refcur)
     IS
          lv_t varchar2(200);
     BEGIN
          lv_t := REPLACE(char_in,',',''',''');
          lv_t := 'select id,name from col_tab where dept_name in (''' || lv_t || ''')' ;
          OPEN ans FOR lv_t;
     END str;
END pack_str;

More than one role for a clip.Is it possible?

Is it possible assign more than one role for a clip?

Only one video role, only one audio roll, per clip. Only one as these are "Media Stems", and when you work with Stems, only one roll per asset video, one per asset audio.

More than one index for a column.

Hi,
I am trying to create more than one index for a particular column of the table.But oracle does not allow more than one index for a column.
I just want to make sure whether we can add more than one index for a column
and if yes what are the scenarios.
Because as far as i know some database allows more than one index for a single column.

You cannot create more than one index for the same column(s).This is not so true Nicolas. Look at following example:
SQL> create index idx_mytest_id on mytest(id);
Index created.
SQL> create index idx_mytest_id_desc on mytest(id desc);
Index created.
SQL> create index idx_fbi_mytest_id_upper on mytest(upper(id));
Index created.
SQL> create index idx_fbi_mytest_id_upper_desc on mytest(upper(id) desc);
Index created.
SQL> create index idx_fbi_mytest_id_lower_id on mytest(lower(id));
Index created.
SQL> create index idx_fbi_mytest_id_lower_id_dsc on mytest(lower(id) desc);
Index created.
SQL> create index idx_fbi_mytest_id_tr_up on mytest(trunc(upper(id)));
Index created.
-- I can still continue but for this example this will be enough
SQL> select index_name from dba_indexes where table_name = 'MYTEST';
INDEX_NAME
IDX_MYTEST_ID
IDX_FBI_MYTEST_ID_UPPER
IDX_MYTEST_ID_DESC
IDX_FBI_MYTEST_ID_UPPER_DESC
IDX_FBI_MYTEST_ID_LOWER_ID
IDX_FBI_MYTEST_ID_LOWER_ID_DSC
IDX_FBI_MYTEST_ID_TR_UP
7 rows selected.You can see 7 indexes for one column (ID) and I could still continue...
So according this test we can say you can't create more than one index for one column (or the same group of columns in case of composite index) with same condition(s).

Or simplified: you can't create the same index for same column(s) twice :-)

More than one style for a single link state?

RH 8 outputting CHM
Hello,
Is it possible to define more than one style for a single link state?
For example, I would like a link in the footer of my master page to be smaller than the links that appear in the body of my topics. I want to retain behavior, and simply change the point size.
I can't simply hand format in Design mode, because my link is within a script. Or, am I missing something easy here?
Thanks much.

I'm pleased to say I figured out how to change the formatting of a hyperlink embedded within a script.
Within the script, I used a var string to reproduce the text in my link. Then I used another var to change the string size.
So, here's the part of my script that produces what I'm after:
var mailDisplay = 'Was this information helpful? ';
var str = 'Was this information helpful?';
var mailDisplay = str.fontsize("1");
Upon generation of the CHM, the script trumps the CSS. It's a beautiful thing.

Pass more than one argument for action in the URL

Hi,
i've created a DesktopURL object with which i refere back to the Front Page. With the same URL i want to minimize two channels at the same time. I know that i can minimize one channel with the "action=minimize&provider=myProvider" attribute.
Is there a way to pass more than one provider for an action ?
Or exists another way to do that ?
thx

In fact, my code was completely right. I tried with commas and it hasn't work. When I tried again without commas it worked perfectly...
Nevertheless, thanks for the advice!

SapScript - Print table out_par - more than one entry for object

Hi Gurus,
following problem.
I have a SapScript form and call an external program from within the form.
In this programm I get more than one entry for the same out_par-value - this is correct.
My problem now is that on the form there is only printed one of the entrys.
Here my coding in SapScript.
/:           DEFINE &ZZ_OBJECT& = '        '
/:           PERFORM LESEN_OBJEKTLIST IN PROGRAM ZIHFORM
/:           USING &CAUFVD-AUFNR&
/:           CHANGING &ZZ_OBJECT&
/:           ENDPERFORM
*           All involved object:
*           &ZZ_OBJECT&
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Regards

In Sapscript PERFORM-ENDPERFORM statements, the parameters can contain only one value as they are variables of type character & length 80.
If you want multiple values in your CHANGING parameters, fetch all of them in different variables. Also, in your program store them in the same order, in the output internal table of structure ITCSY.

Can we give more than one value for an Authorization field in Auth-Check.

Hi all,
Can we give more than one value for an Authorization field in Auth-Check.
Ex: AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_TRVL_BKS'
ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02'
ID 'CUSTTYPE' FIELD <Value 1> <Value 2> <Value 3>.
IF SY-SUBRC 0.
MESSAGE E...
ENDIF.
If yes, please help me with exact syntax.
Think it will be like
ID 'CUSTTYPE' FIELD: <Value 1>, <Value 2>, <Value 3>.

Hi,
yes we can give more than one field.
program an AUTHORITY-CHECK.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT <authorization object>
   ID <authority field 1> FIELD <field value 1>.
   ID <authority field 2> FIELD <field value 2>.
   ID <authority-field n> FIELD <field value n>.
The OBJECT parameter specifies the authorization object.
The ID parameter specifies an authorization field (in the authorization object).
The FIELD parameter specifies a value for the authorization field.
The authorization object and its fields have to be suitable for the transaction. In most cases you will be able to use the existing authorization objects to protect your data. But new developments may require that you define new authorization objects and fields.
please reward points, if it is useful.
