Hi,
Unfortunately no option for you to increase VRAM. System will work this out and allocate AVAILABLE RAM for VRAM up to max number if required.

Resizing partition - boot problem?

Hello everyone. I've been using Arch for three days now and like it. Problem is I installed it on a small partition and now I have only less than 1GB disk space left.
So here is my situation: I have primary partition (Windows7) and Extended partition. Extended looks like this:
[sda5 -exUbuntu][sda8 -Arch][sda7 swap][sda6 ntfs data]
So i want to delete sda5 partition (which would give me 20 more gigabytes) and resize sda5 partition to it. But:
1) I remember GParted not being capable of resizing to free space to the left side, only right side. I would give it a shot, but here comes next problem
2) deleting partition sda5 changes sda8 to sda7 and sda7 to sda6. I guess boot would fail then since these partitions are mentioned in menu.lst and also fstab.
What's the best solution for this? Maybe I could try changing sdaX in those two files and then play with those partitions, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough.
Thanks.

1) Delete sda5
2) Move sda6 to the left
3) Merge the unallocated space with the Arch partition.
As for the booting, use UUIDs

Cannot resize partition...

Before mods delete/close/move my post 'cause I'm sure there exist hundred of related problems to this let me explain.
I study Engineering in Computational Systems, for my Digital Design class I need some software that only exist for Windows (I've been searching the web looking for alternatives for Mac without success)... So I decided I'd install BootCamp and Windows 7, but I got the **** "cannot resize partition" error...
So here's the deal... I CAN'T make a backup, my external hard drive is damaged, I've been searching and I found that this problem is 'cause BootCamp can't move big files or stuff like that so to fix the problem I have to defrag the hard disk and here comes another problem, I can't afford iDefrag neither...
Any help for defrag or resize my Mac OS X partition?

Usually when I see "Cannot resize..." it is because the Windows partition was too small, or they need more room for OS X files. Not because they got the error message from Boot Camp Assistant (which tells you to reformat and restore after you have a backup).
Step #1 is (always) backup before making changes.
Real easy... buy an external, you will need backups for Mac OS and probably Windows. you will want to be able to run OS X off external too at some point.
It isn't because there are big files, it is that they can't be moved.
The free space has to be contiguous, not fragmented, also, in order to create a slice for Windows.
I assume it won't work with a VM running under/inside OS X so you need to run Windows natively.
Some people have bought iDefrag ($49?) and results are anywhere from good to mixed to didn't work.
You are right, the question has been asked... about 999 times in the last two years.

Windows Won't Boot after resizing partition

I am having problems with Windows not rebooting after I resized partition to reduce Mac side and increase Windows side. I do not see the BootCamp partition labelled as such while running disk utility. Upon startup, the Windows partition shows up when I boot up while pressing the ALT key. However, when I try to run Windows, it says " error loading operatig system".
I also followed instruction and went through to run gdisk successfully. Results towards the end.
What can be done? Windows still does not boot and It shows ? Suspicious MBR at sector 0.
Below is information based on typical questions asked here.....

The operation has completed successfully.

So here's what I think happened. Upon resizing the OS X volume, a 5th partition was created. When that happens, diskutil removes the hybrid MBR that's needed to activate the EFI firmware CSM (BIOS emulator) which is still presently used for booting Windows on Apple hardware. Upon removing the hybrid MBR, Windows is no longer bootable. So what you probably did was used Disk Utility to reverse what you did by deleting the extra partition. When you do this, diskutil recreates the hybrid MBR but with the wrong partition type code. It sets it to 0x0C, and therefore thinks it's FAT32, whereas it should be 0x07 for NTFS. Disk Utility will then let you run a disk check on what it erroneously thinks is a FAT32 volume, but is in fact NTFS. If any writes are done, which it appears is the case, it corrupts the NTFS file system.
So this is just yet another Bootcamp data loss story, without any warning in either documentation or Disk Utility whatsoever.
What version of OS X is this?
The easiest, but most tedious thing to do is to totally start over with everything: obliterate the entire drive with Disk Utility making 1 partition only, reinstalling OS X and files from backups, use Bootcamp Assistant to resize the OS X volume the way you really want it, reinstall Windows and restore from its backup. All of that can be done in the GUI.
You might still use the Windows install disk to run Windows startup repair. It might fix the Bootcamp volume. The remaining problem in that case is what to do with the large pile of free space, but I'll make those suggestions later once you get to that point.
If Windows startup repair can't fix the Bootcamp volume, and you don't have a backup, then you'll need to download and install testdisk, and read how to use it to try and find your data. It's an iterative process. Once that's done, while it probably won't fix it and make it bootable again, you'll have a basic backup of files. The remaining thing to do is use gdisk remove the broken Windows partition, make a new one that also includes free space you presumably wanted Windows to have, and make a new hybrid MBR adding partitions 2 3 4. Then reinstall Windows, your apps, and restore your data from backups.
So that's the gist. Ask if you have more questions.

Resized partition, now can only boot using option key

I made my boot camp partition larger and my os x partition smaller using a 3rd party program. I can still boot into windows, but only using the option key. When I look at my startup disks in OS X, only my OSX partition shows up. Is there any way to make snow leopard recognize this resized partition? Thanks!

Hi,
I am not familiar with that program but since it is a Windows program I doubt that it has installed anything in OSX.
Most likely that program wasn't even "aware" that it was used on a Mac running WIndows.
And it also might be that that is the reason for your problem.
To run Windows with BootCamp on a Mac OSX has to establish/use a form of hybrid GPT/MBR partitioning.
GPT for OSX and MBR for Windows.
That also means that using any kind pof partitioning tool (resizing etc.) would have to be done best in OSX since only OSX "knows" that there is a Windows partition and can handle the hybrid partitioning accordingly.
First thing I would propose (if not already there) is a backup / clone of your OSX onto an external HD.
Secondly boot your Mac from the OSX DVD and use Disk Utility from it to verify/repair your OSX.

Resizing partition w/o affecting one key recovery

hi there! is there anyone know how to resize partition C: w/o affecting the software one key recover?i just wanted to resize it so that i have more space in D: drive for the backup i have to do...thanks

I have the opposite problem. I have a low disk space error all the time. I would like to get rid of the C partition and just have one if Vista allows that. I have a Y510

Can't resize partition after upgrading to Yosemite (using SSD drive)

I upgraded to 10.10 and using SSD drive now. When I was using OS X 10.8.5, I could freely resize partition but not anymore. I guess because of the SSD drive and the new version of OS X, and Logical Volume Group could be involved. I don't want to waste 80 GB of SSD drive so really looking for a solution now. Thanks in advance.

Yes, that's exactly what I did. I had to go back to my old snow leopard install DVD, use the disk utility on that to repartition the drive. I made 2 partitions, installed Snow Leopard on one, used that to install Yosemite on the other partition and trashed the snow leopard install.
I haven't yet tried the Yosemite USB install method which would have probably been faster as I could have avoided installing SL.

Resize-partition PowerShell - using a variable for size

Hello.
I'm trying to user the PowerShell command resize-partition as part of a RunBook task so I need to be able to specify the size as a variable. The -size element requires that you also add on the size type (e.g. kb, mb, gb, tb etc.) but this makes the command
fail as its then passed as a string and it looks like it wants to be a UInt64.
I have tried various different ways such as:
$size = 300 + "gb"
$size = "300" + "gb" etc.
The error I get is:
PS C:\Windows\system32> Resize-Partition -DriveLetter E -Size $Size
Resize-Partition : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'Size'. Cannot convert value "300GB" to
type "System.UInt64". Error: "Input string was not in a correct format."
The only way I can get it working is to hardcode it in: '-size (300gb)'
Would anyone have any idea how to get this working? It must be possible.
Thanks, Joe

Yosemite, Boot Camp, Windows 8.1 - Resizing Partition Guide

Hey everyone, I had some success with this so I thought I would share:
What you Need:
0) familiarity with the command line, HD partitioning, linux, and lots of nerve.
1) Yosemite
2) A successful installation of Windows via Boot Camp (I was using 8.1 and I did the installation after I upgraded to Yosemite, i.e., I did not have a Boot Camp partition before upgrading to Yosemite) <-- Any other type of config may not work with this guide!!
3) A Linux live usb/cd with gparted (I assume you're familiar with linux and gparted and things like that, I'm not going to go into too many details on how to use that OS or its tools)
4) patience and luck
Disclaimer: This can really screw up your system if you fail to follow the directions or you have made the storage gods angry... use at your own risk!
So initially I created a boot camp partition to install Windows 8.1 and after the installation realized I should have allocated more space for Windows. On the OS X side, I opened the graphical diskutil and discovered I could not resize or change either of the partitions - the only thing I could do was delete the boot camp partition which was not a handy option considering the time I put into installing Windows and its subsequent updates.
After some careful googling I found this:
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/134498/unable-to-resize-partitions
Which led me to the solution. From a terminal run: 'diskutil corestorage list' (without the quotes) to get a list of the logical volumes, groups, and physical disks that OS X created after using boot camp. The information you will need is the UUID of the logical volume (not the logical volume group or family). You are then going to use the undocumented command 'diskutil corestorage resizeStack' with the UUID of the logical volume in order to change the size of the volumes and physical disk. In my case, I wanted to shrink my remaining OS X partition by 40GB and give that to Windows. Again from the terminal run:
'diskutil corestorage resizeStack UUID XXXg' where UUID is the 32 digit identifier of the logical volume and XXX is the desired new size of the disk (e.g., 350g for 350 GB).
After a few moments, it will finish and in diskutil you should see an amount of unallocated space. You still can't do anything with it here, but at least it's visible. Reboot into OS X again just to feel confident that you haven't screwed anything up, yet. It did seem to take slightly longer to reboot into OS X this one time, but everything turned out ok
Now using a linux live usb drive, boot into your favorite brand of linux and run gparted. You should see your unallocated space sandwiched between your OS X partition (which gparted may or may not formally 'see') and the NTFS Windows partition. Simply move the Windows partition over to occupy the unallocated space and extend it to the end of drive and you're done. My version of gparted warned me that Windows may not boot after I do this, but for me, it worked fine and booted into Windows properly the first time. If Windows doesn't boot, you'll need a Windows install on a usb stick (you should have one from your boot camp installation right?) and then you'll need to repair the disk (there are many helpful guides that go through this very thing - just google it).
It worked for me flawlessly, good luck!

Everything has worked so far, I have freed up about 75GB that is in between OSX and my 8.1 Bootcamp Partition, however I can't for the life of me seem to make a working Linux USB. How can you make a BOOTABLE (from this retina macbook pro) Live CD with Gparted. What tools/ISO did you use?

Cannot resize partitions on yosemite !!

cannot resize partitions on yosemite !!

Do they have data on them? Are these partitions you could resize before? Is this a new machine? Is it formatted GPT or something else? Are you using boot camp?

Can I resize partitions in Tiger?

I'm rethinking my strategy of being able to restore from my TM volume to Leopard. Can I resize partitions using Disk Utility without losing data while in Tiger?

NEVER change any partitions on a disk without first backing up completely and testing the backup.
I believe Tiger will destroy data; Leopard claims not to but I don't trust my disk to a partitioning agent. Leopard states that you should backup.

Problem in resizable 2 matrix in own form

I want to design a form with exactly like <b>journal voucher</b>
so it has 2 matrix object (upper and below)
here's my code
Set oFormPOS = SBO_Application.Forms.Add("formPointOfSales", ft_Sizable, -11)
    '// set the form properties
    oFormPOS.Title = "Form Point of Sales"
    oFormPOS.Left = 300
    oFormPOS.Width = 520
    oFormPOS.Top = 100
    oFormPOS.Height = 500
    oFormPOS.AutoManaged = False
    Set oItem = oFormPOS.Items.Add("PMatrix1", it_MATRIX)
    oItem.Left = 20
    oItem.Width = 485
    oItem.Top = 25
    oItem.Height = 160
    Set oPOS.oMatrix = oItem.Specific
    Set oPOS.oColumns = oPOS.oMatrix.Columns
    Set oItem = oFormPOS.Items.Add("PMatrix2", it_MATRIX)
    oItem.Left = 20
    oItem.Width = 485
    oItem.Top = 300
    oItem.Height = 170
    Set oPOS.oMatrix2 = oItem.Specific
    Set oPOS.oColumns2 = oPOS.oMatrix2.Columns
but when I resize down my form, <b>the matrix followed my resize and increasing the height automatically and stacking with another matrix</b>.
even though I set AutoManaged = False, it still resize automatically , and make my form
screw up
Please anyone help me to solve this problem
I want my form to exactly like journal voucher (doesn't has a problem with resize)
Thanks

Hi Rasmus Thanks for the answer
and what do you mean by catch the form resize event ?
about my code what is the use of Automanaged = false, I didn't feel any different
I thought Automanaged = false will make my matrix not resize automatically,but it didn't
if i can change my matrix not resize automatically, I think i will change my code to these code, and I hope will auto arrange the position of my matrix
Set oItem = oFormPOS.Items.Add("PMatrix1", it_MATRIX)
    oItem.Left = 20
    oItem.Width = 485
    oItem.Top = oFormPos.Top + 10
    oItem.Height = (oFormPos.height/2) - 30
    Set oPOS.oMatrix = oItem.Specific
    Set oPOS.oColumns = oPOS.oMatrix.Columns
    Set oItem = oFormPOS.Items.Add("PMatrix2", it_MATRIX)
    oItem.Left = 20
    oItem.Width = 485
    oItem.Top = (oFormPos.Height/2) + 10
    oItem.Height = (oFormPos.Height/2) - 50
    Set oPOS.oMatrix2 = oItem.Specific
    Set oPOS.oColumns2 = oPOS.oMatrix2.Columns
but I don't know how to disable the resize of the matrix automatically
so Rasmus beside what is the form resize event, do you know the use of automanaged ?
Thanks

Facing Problem in resizing datafile

Hi i m facing problem in resizing a datafile of size 2.5 gb, i infact import data of 2gb in this file then reorganize data in different tablespace now the used size of this datafile is 96mb , when i issue command to reduce it to 200mb it gives me error that data exist u cannot resize datafile,
tell me what should be done to resize it.
thanks

Hi,
You can create a working tablespace with a good size
CREATE TABLESPACE tbs_tmp
DATAFILE 'D:\Oracle\oradata\SID\file_tmp.dbf' SIZE 100M
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 64K;
And move all segments from your tablespace TBS1 into this new tbs
(select segment_name,segment_type from dba_segments where tablespace_name = 'TBS1')
If indexes :
alter index owner.index_name rebuild tablespace tbs_tmp;
If table :
alter table owner.table_name move tablespace tbs_tmp;
Ensure that the tablespace TBS1 is empty
select segment_name,segment_type from dba_segments where tablespace_name = 'TBS1'
After what, if no row return, you can drop your first tablespace,
DROP TABLESPACE tbs1 INCLUDING CONTENTS CASCADE CONSTRAINTS;
recreate it with a goos size,
CREATE TABLESPACE tbs1
DATAFILE 'D:\Oracle\oradata\SID\file_tbs1.dbf' SIZE 100M
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 64K;
and move all segment from tbs_tmp into this new tbs1
(select segment_name,segment_type from dba_segments where tablespace_name = 'TBS_TMP')
If indexes :
alter index owner.index_name rebuild tablespace tbs1;
If table :
alter table owner.table_name move tablespace tbs1;
Ensure that the tablespace TBS1 is empty
select segment_name,segment_type from dba_segments where tablespace_name = 'TBS_TMP'
If no row return, drop the working tablespace
DROP TABLESPACE tbs_tmp INCLUDING CONTENTS CASCADE CONSTRAINTS;

Problem while resizing datafiles..

Hi Experts,
Im facing problems while resizing my datafiles. I am using Oracle 10g on Windows 2003 server.
I had a datafile of size 20GB.
I have 3 schemas sch1, sch2,sch3 and all have objects.
I dropped sch1 and truncated some tables in sch2.
I found the freespace available in my datafile 16GB.
When I try to resize the datafile to 5GB, I am getting ora-03297 error.
I checked for object that are beyond 5GB using the follwing query.
I found sch3 objects are present beyond 5GB mark on that datafile.
How can I resize the datafile to 5GB??
Is there any other way to resize the datafile?? Please help me.
SELECT owner, segment_name, segment_type, tablespace_name, file_id,

I know it is a little bit late to reply. But, I still want to share my experiences with everyone here.
Actually, I have ever also ahs the same issue and need to resize my C drive partition for installing a large game. But, the resizing process just unexpectedly fails at last in Disk Management. The “extend” function is unable to work.
So, I have no choice but to take chances with some third party partition resizer recommended in many forums such as:

Active Partition Manager
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/Active-Partition-Manager.shtml
All of them seem efficient. So, I just have tried them one by one and finally added wanted free space to my C drive successfully with the second free resizer. I even have found a video tutorial that teaches me how to resize my drive with
