Partition not found while installing

I have made a second partition with Boot Camp, I can see the HD icon named " BOOTCAMP" on my desktop. But when I want to install windows and I have to select the correct partition (Bootcamp), it isn't there. There's only one partition.
Can som ebody help me out ?

Hi inv and welcome to Discussions,
what Windows are you trying to install, XP or Vista ?
With XP make sure that the CD is a XP with at least SP 2 (Service Pack 2) incorporated !
This is a must with BootCamp.
XP CD with SP1 or prior usually don't work woth Macs and BootCamp.
You can slipstream the SP2 into a SP1 XP using this procedure http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxpsp2slipstream.asp

Number one - you are hijacking someone else's thread. Please read the forum FAQ. The link to that is conveniently located in the upper right corner of this very page.
Number two - no oracle product is certified to run on Window 8. If you want to run an Oracle product, you need to use an OS which Oracle has certified for said product.

JRE not found, while installing Oracle 9i on Fedora Core 5

I am installing Oracle 9i on Fedora Core 5 from the following site.
http://ivan.kartik.sk/oracle/install_ora9_fedora.html
The site asks me to Download the Java Runtime Enviroment (j2re-1_3_1_15-linux-i586.bin) from the Sun website.
extract the file and put it in /opt directory. And edit Disk1/install/linux/oraparam.ini and modify JRE_LOCATION variable to /opt/jre1.3.xx
I have downloaded JRE version jre1.3.1_19 as this is the version available from the sun site, and put it in the /opt directory.
[oracle@localhost Disk1]$ cd /opt
[oracle@localhost opt]$ ls -l
total 24

My oraparam.ini settings are:
[oracle@localhost ~]$ cat Disk1/install/linux/oraparam.ini
[Oracle]
JRE_LOCATION=/opt/jre1.3.1_19
However, after doing these changes when I use /home/oracle/Disk1/runInstaller, i get the following error:

Files not found while installing Oracle 9iAS Rel 2 on Win2K

Hello,
When installing Oracle 9iAs Release 9.2.0.1.0 on Windows 2000, the installation pops up windows 'File not found' for a number of files like -
jarfiles.1.4.jar, jarfiles.1.2.jar.
I checked out and the files are not avialable in the installation. The setup disks are proper.
What could be the problem?
Regards,
Mandar

The release date has slipped. We've found some issues which must be fixed before we can release on Windows. Hopefully we will have it soon.
I understand that there is a high level of anticipation. I appreciate everyone's patience.

JRE not found while installing Oracle 9i on Centos 3

Hi
I am Installing Oracle 9iR2 (9.2.0.4) on Centos 3 OS. But the runInstaller script stops showing the following message:
The Java RunTime Environment was not found at F/bin/java. Hence, the Oracle Universal Installer cannot be run.
Please visit http://www.javasoft.com and install JRE version 1.3.1 or higher and try again.
: No such file or directory
I found that there is no need of installing a separate JRE for 9iR2 because it comes with its own bundled JRE. Then why runInstaller is complaining about a missing JRE. Please help me in solving this.
Specifications :
Operating system: Centos 3 Update 9
Kernel : 2.4.21-50.EL i686
Thanks
Ganesh

Finally I got the solution.
For a long time I was roaming around installing JRE and modifying environment settings.
I verified the oraparam.ini and found it was OK.
But as per Ivan, i checked the DVD and also got a link in web which describes about corruption of linux files when they are burned under windows (Due to some Smart Character conversion).
Earlier i had burned the folders extracted from downloaded ship*.cpio.gz (Disk1, Disk2, ...)
But this time i made ISO images from extracted folders and burned to DVD.
After Inserting the new DVD, the installer started and finished installation in one go.
Thanks For your replies.

Partition not found- While deploying to managed server

We are using 11gR1. We have configured a soa managed server. While deploying Sales demo application in BPM Studio, we set up connection to the Admin Server and when we test the connection it is successful. During the last step of deployment, where the SOA managed server is prompted, SOA server is listed properly but we get a message saying that partition is not available.
We went to EM and found that there is a default partition, we also created a new partition and restarted both the servers. But still we face the same error. The Log gives the following information:
<Error> <RepositoryPartitionModel.class> <BEA- 000000> <Getting Partitions>
Is this a product bug or are we missing out on anything.

Hi venkat,
I am also having the same problem. Were you able to find out the solution for this issue. I currently manually deploy the GUI EAR from the admin console and the SAR file from the EM.
Thanks,

Help Please: Big Bang-XPower: hard drive not found while installing Windows7 x64

I bought an MSI Big Bang-XPower MB and was trying to install windows7 x64. I have a WD raptor 150GB and Samsung 1TB hard drives. Both drives show up in BIOS. SATA controller setting is in IDE.
after I clicked at the "install" icon, a window showed up telling me that no hard drive was found. I have seen this problem before with my old MB. All I needed to do with that MB was to load a driver for the hard drive and problem solved. Does anyone know which driver (name and version, please) is the right one for this MB? I went to the MSI driver page and there are several of them. and some of them give me about 50 drives to choose from (I tried about 10 of them but neither worked).
Also, is IDE or AHCI more appropriate for this MB with Windows7?
Thanks for any help.

i downloaded and unzipped the file to a USB drive. it instructed me to press F6 to load the driver, but i couldn't find this screen while I was installing windows7. at about what step does this normally show up. i can see this if i were installing xp or vista.
anyway, when i click at the load driver with the IDE setting, nothing was found. There was a driver when i changed sata setting to ACHI, but the computer told me that was not a valid driver.
does the drive package have to be loaded in a floppy disc?
anyway, called tech support and was told that the xpower was one of their newest MB. and the tech rep told me that he had never heard of this problem before. he had no idea what he was talking about. Fail! lol

Artifact not found while installing SAPUI5 evaluation edition

Hello Experts
We downloaded the SAPUI5 SDK 1.16 from UI Development Toolkit for HTML5 Developer Center and tried to install it from the local hard disc and received the following errors
The same occurrs in hana studio 1.00.68 and 1.00.70.
However the manual update from the disc works for SAPUI5 sdk 1.12. As the project requires the SAPUI5 ABAP repository which comes with 1.16. We need to update to the SAPUI5 1.16.
Would you know how to come around this issue?
SAP Development Tools for Eclipse - Juno Software Repository is not accessible within our network to install the SAPUI5 from there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

[SOLVED] Upgrade hard drive: Grub error 22: Partition not found

I'm trying to move to a different hard drive. I booted a live cd, created the partitions, formatted, and used "cp -a" to copy all the files over. I also updated the fstab on the new drive, and now I would expect everything to work. However, I can't get past grub.
When I boot up, I get "grub error 22: partition not found".
Here is my setup ("Arch Linux - SSD" is the entry not working):

Another note, is that grub-install takes a very long time to run after I update the menu.lst (5+ minutes), but the update does work without errors, and the new items do appear.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm wondering if I've just been looking at it too long...

I solved this by using the uuid instead of the root:
# (0) Arch Linux

uuid 128a4425-c9ae-433f-b604-5488d55a14b3

initrd /boot/kernel26.img
Also, I got "grub-install" to run much faster by removing the fd0 from the device map.

A couple of things that are important:
refind_linux.conf should be in the same directory as vmlinuz-linux and the initrd so it should be in /boot/ since that is where your kernel is.
In your refind.conf stanza you have the line volume "EFI system partition" which tells rEFInd that the loader is in that partition whereas the kernel and initrd files seem to be in /boot/ which is not the EFI System Partition. Hence the volume line needs to specify the filesystem where /boot is which in your case appears to be /dev/sdb5 so the volume line in that case should be volume "root" since root is the filesystem label for sdb5? Note that if you update to rEFInd version 0.8.0 or later then you can use the partuuid value to specify the volume but in the version you are using that token for the volume was not yet implemented.
In the stanza you quoted there was no terminating } but maybe you just didn't copy it to your post.
Making these changes may let the system boot to the arch kernel.
