Need help on Partitions

Can anyone tell me how partitions will effect if we refresh the database. I know that you will loose the parrtition whenever you refresh . So does we nead to recreate the partitions all the time.. Can any one tell me the solution for this ..how this parttions work.
Thanks

If the outlines are out of sync in the areas that are partitioned, you will get warnings in yout partition. It will still try to pull the data for you. If for example you have partitioned products and it' 4 children. If to the source databases you add a fifth child, you will get a warning, but it will continue to pull product and the 4 children it knows about. In this example the total will be correct, but will not add up to the sum of the children in the partition target. in other cases

Have you tried to repartition the drive with Disk Utility to add a third partition or to remove the Boot Camp partition?
I would repair the hard drive to see if that helps:
Repair the Hard Drive
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Norm
"...have tried all different sizes with no luck" tells us nothing about what size you tried. If indeed you tried all different sizes then you don't have enough space. What size did you try? What happens when you try? What error messages do you get?

Need help with partitioning my drive...

Hello folks!
I have a small problem with my macbook. I have recently installed windows using boot-camp since I need to for my schoolwork. But now I want another partition that I can use while in windows so that I can install some simple games and play while not doing anything else. The problem is that whenever I use the tools in OSX to create a new partition and format it as either NTFS/FAT32, I cant reboot into windows anymore. All I get is a blue screen and then a reboot.
What am I doing wrong and is there a better way for me to go by?
Hopefully someone knows the answer and cheers for the upcoming replies. =)

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
I don't do Windoze, but it's my understanding that Boot Camp only allows a single partition for Windoze and a single one for OSX.
But you'll no doubt get better advice in the +Boot Camp+ forums, at: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237

Partition: Need help on Partition Scheme

I have question about partition scheme. The partition scheme has a starting partition
filegroup "Inv_200806" which is repeating twice. This scheme and function is already in use on the tables. I was wondering why does this partition
filegroup is repeating twice. Is it normal or recommended to do that?
Also, does this mean that Inv_200806 is a default/primary partition
filegroup after we do purging on the partitions and insert the data again in a table (which falls under purge boundary range)?
FYI: When I checked the boundary range of both Inv_200806 filegroup, first one has NULL boundary range and the second
has "2008-06-01T00:00:00.000'".
Any help /guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Need help to partition and format new hard drive for T400

The HDD failed in my T400. I bought a new 1TB HDD and fitted it. The diagnostic software in the BIOS did a read and controller test (Passed). When I put the Windows XP disk in the CD reader, the setup started - then stalled at the "Windows setup" page. I thought the hard drive had a write problem but apparently it must be partitioned and formatted first, before Widows setup can commence. The thing is that I can't get to the option where Windows formats the drive. In old computers, there was always a partitioning option in the BIOS setup but in my T400, there doesn't appear to be any such option. The computer has 4GB RAM, the actual model is 2767-RV8.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to get this up and running?
One other question is - (assuming I can get the thing working) - Is there somewhere I can load the operating system on part of the hard drive where it can act as a fall back in case the operating system gets corrupted? - i.e. something that can't get attacked by malicious software?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi irivlin,
If you are trying to clean install XP, then you have to do following setting in BIOS first:
Press F1 to BIOS, Config -> Serial ATA (SATA) -> change to "Compatibility"
You can change XP partition only if you are doing clean installation, otherwise you have to use 3rd party to do it.
For backup part, there are lots of choices in the market. You might consider using XP own backup function. Lenovo got a program called Rescue and Recovery can also do backup as well.

I need help on my MacBook Pro. Recently I've deleted another partition of my disk from the disk utility and I found out that my disk capacity wasn't get into the normal one which is 750GB. Meanwhile I installed window 7 into the partition disk.

I need help on restoring my disk capacity back to normal. I installed window 7 into the partition disk through bootcamp and I deleted it from disk utility. After I erase the partition disk,I get my capacity to 499GB but not 750GB. Do I need to reinstall my MacBook or something to do with the restoring?

You shouldn't do it. You have to erase the Windows volume with Boot Camp Assistant, so it will restore the space onto the OS X volume and that volume will have 750 GB.
As you did it with Disk Utility, you have to resize your OS X partition manually:
1. Open Disk Utility, select your hard disk at the top of the sidebar, and go to Partition tab.
2. You will see a bar with Macintosh HD. You have to click it at the bottom right corner and drag it to the end of the bar, so Macintosh HD will use all the space of the hard drive, and press Apply.
3. Close Disk Utility and your OS X partition will have 750 GB

Cannot install windows 8 because the disk is in MBR partition. Need help.

I am on a MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011. I am trying to install Windows 8(OEM) using bootcamp witht a USB. I made the USB bootable from the Windows Usb tool, and made the Bootcamp partition through bootcamp. I hold down the option key at startup and select the usb. It starts the setup, everything is fine untill I select advance option to install and select the BOOTCAMP partition. It says you need a GUID partition table to install but I have MBR. I have checked in disk utility and the partition map scheme is GUID partition table. Do i have to format the whole drive to fix this? That really isn't a problem. Also, FYI, this mac recently had its logic board replaced by apple. Could that have anything to do with it?
I have been stuck on the problem for days and it is getting really frustrating. Any help is appriciated. Thank you.

Hey there, I have the same problem as Noor440 discribed, just that I burned a dvd with Windows 8 and it doesnt work. I can boot it from the CD in EFI mode but then it happens the same as with Noor. I can't install it because of MBR and its asking for GPT.
The thing is that when I try to boot from the regular CD (not in EFI mode). My screen goes black and I can't do anything about it.
I read in different posts that to install WIN7 or XP I have to have my optical drive at the original place just that I removed it in order to install an additinal SSD.
Is there no other way than to open my macbook again put the SSD in the place of the original HD (at the moment it is in the slot of the optical drive) and then partition my SSD with bootcamp, install Win 8 and change the optical drive with the HD again. Last but not least I would need to redo the syslinks as well ...
would be nice if anybody has some good suggestions wether I can avoid that all ...
thanks a lot

you can't add or mofidy partition numbers. especially not if and once you have windows installed.
boot from Windows 7 DVD afterwards
but first you have to tell us and Christopher what and how you partitioned your system.
Successful setup of OS X Lion + Data Partition + Bootcamp Win7 Ult
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3293948

Thread with suggestions on Windows backup methods:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3798090
Paragon CampTune
Paragon CampTune is a commercial product that is designed expressly for this task. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ It consists of a downloadable ISO that needs to be burned to a disc and booted from in order to resize the partitions costs US$19.95.
Securing Dual-System Configuration
Imaging is still the most affordable and robust way to secure computer data. Unfortunately Mac OS X backs up only HFS+ volumes, leaving Windows with dual-system configurations unsecured. You can permanently lose all of your data unless you have a Windows-compatible backup solution.
Paragon’s CampTune and Paragon’s Drive Copy for Mac can secure the entire dual-system configuration. CampTune creates traditional images of volumes or entire hard disks, Drive Copy can copy them to other disks. In case of an emergency, you can restore the previously created image or copy all your data back to its original state.
GParted Live
GParted Live is similar to CampTune as it is also distributed as a bootable image that needs to be copied to a CD/DVD or USB flash drive. As free and open source software, distributed under the GPL, it will always be available free. Since it has more functions than CampTune, it may be harder for folks who are not as experienced with partitioning hard drives. http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
iPartition
Coriolis Systems' iPartition is a £29.95 ($44.95 US) utility that runs in Mac OS X and allows resizing of all of the relevant partition formats, including HFS+, FAT32, and NTFS. It provides a Mac-oriented user interface that may be easier to manage than some of the free utilities. As it is not capable of resizing the boot disk, it requires a bootable external disk or a boot DVD. (A tool to create a boot DVD is included.)
Paragon Partition Manager
From the makes of CampTune is a commercial tool that is similar in functionality to GParted Live, but has a more polished/friendly user interface than GParted Live. Previously only the US$79.95 Professional version supported all the features required for this, but as of version 11 the US$39.95 Personal version has also been reported to work. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/pm-personal/
Winclone/Disk Utility
Winclone is a free tool for creating and restoring backup images of your Windows partition. One of its key features is that it can restore to a larger partition than the one the image was created from.
NOTE: Winclone has been discontinued, but for now remains available and capable of completing these tasks (including creating and restoring Windows 7 images).
Winclone updated to support Lion Winclone updates and download
Disk Utility can resize HFS+ (Mac OS) partitions, but is currently incapable of resizing NTFS partitions, so you could use it to reduce the size of the HFS+ partition and create a new larger placeholder MS-DOS (FAT) partition
The full process would be:
Backup Windows partition with Winclone.
(if the new Windows partition is smaller than the old one make sure you set the preferences in Winclone to save the image as an uncompressed dmg)
Delete old Windows partition
Resize current Mac Partition
Create new Windows partition as MS-DOS (FAT) in free space after Mac OS partition.
(If the new Windows partition is smaller than the old one an additional step is required: shrink the filesystem on the image by selecting Tools->Shrink Windows (NTFS) Filesystem)
Reboot your computer for the new Windows partition to mount properly (winclone may not restore if you don't reboot)
Restore Winclone partition over new Windows partition
An alternate Winclone based process is described in the External Guides section
Native OS utilities
MR user Kazyua reports that you can use the disk management utilities provided with the current operating systems if you want to do it manually. Windows 7 and OS X both have partition resizing functions built in. In OS X, open Disk Utility and manually shrink the mac HFS+ partition by dragging the lower right corner. Then in windows go to the start menu and type "disk management" into the search box then hit enter. You should get an overview of the drives you have and the individual partitions. Right-clicking on the partition gives an "Extend Volume" option. The Windows NTFS volume should then be extended into the free space you created with Disk Utility. This method has not worked for other users, so try at your own risk.

Hello, I need help to retrieve deleted information to partition an external hard drive. What should I do?

Hello, I need help to retrieve deleted information to partition an external hard drive. What should I do?

I'm not about the question, and giving you the right answer requires me to ask a few more questions.
Do you want to retrieve deleted information for future usage, or to completely delete a partition? The latter is straightforward: simply erase the partition. The former is more complicated: it's very difficult, even using available commercial software, to recover deleted information. If the data is important, you may want to contact a professional like DriveSavers. It won't be cheap.

U410 recovery partition reformatted, need help reinstalling Windows 8

Hi,
I have a Lenovo U410 with a 32GB SSD and a 750GB HDD that are treated as one drive. The previous owner reformatted the entire drive, which erased the recovery partition. Thus, I can'tmake a recovery disc or USB stick (the recovery partition would have to be intact for that to work anyway) and can't reinstall Windows 8.
Can anyone confirm that the recovery media I'd order from Lenovo support would be able to reinstall Windows 8? I'm afraid that they would send me a disc that needs the recovery partition to work.
Thank you.

You can give them (Lenovo support) a call and ask about it.
I did, they didn't know if it would work.

Need help Cloning a Bootcamp partition

I need to install a larger hard drive in my Leopard MBP that has a HFS+ and a FAT32 partition running Win XP.
Moving the HFS+ partition is no big deal, but I really could use some step by step guidance in moving the contents of the existing FAT32 partition to a new and larger FAT32 partition.
I essentially need to backup to an intermediate drive, and then to the new larger target drive. I have been trying to use Disk Utility, but am unable to get a partition that is bootable. I have tried doing a "throwaway" WinXP install on the partition, but am unable to write over the files there, because many of them are locked. I am not running NFS.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if this will work, but.... What if you used the Microsoft Backup Utility to back-up the files to an external hard drive (you will need an NTFS partition on the external), use bootcamp to create the larger FAT32 on the new drive, install a fresh copy of windoze on the new drive, then use the Microsoft Backup Utility to restore the files from the external hard drive.

Need help on which router to buy for my BB 8320

Now i know 8320 is dated but at this point i am not planning to change anytime soon .

Need Help Recovering Hard Drive Space on Disk Utility

I recently wanted to resize my Boot Camp hard drive partition as I did not need it to be 194 gb. In the process I screwed something up and now that space that was once my Boot Camp Partition is now "free space." My Mac Partition still says that I have 305 gb left and I am unsure how to expand this partition to get back that "grey" space. I've tried using Boot Camp Assistant, starting with Command+R after the "chime," and restoring my OSX (not completely however).
I need help in getting back this missing space. It seems that I have looked everywhere and although people seem to have a similar issue I can't figure it out.
Would restoring Mountain Lion completely by using a USB jump drive solve this problem? I have an external hard drive that uses Time Machine to back up my MacBook so a complete restore shouldn't be an issue.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
P.S. This is what my disk utility currently looks like...

You can try to use Boot Camp Assistant to completely remove the Windows partition but it might not work.
Simple fact is once you setup a Windows partition you can't fool with it at all, that is unless you use some add on program specifically designed to do that on a Mac computer. If you need to resize the Windows partition you first need to use BCA and remove the partition completely and then recreate it at the new size you want and reinstall Windows.
You might have to use Time Machine and backup your Mac partition then repartition the complete drive and then restore from that Time Machine backup. Then setup the Windows partition and reinstall Windows.
