Repartitioning

Hello All,
I plan to do repartitioning for a cube that already has data and the rollup is happening daily. What precautions should be taken to do reparitioning? And is complete repartitioning the right thing to do?
And how much time it might take for repartitioning?
Regards,
NK

Yoga 11 Windows RT - "Repartition the drive" Problem

Hey all,
I updated my Lenovo ideapad yoga 11 (without making a recovery usb) to windows rt 8.1 preview & as almost everyone is getting the activation issue on tablets, same issue came on mine. so i tried to downgrade from RT 8.1 to RT 8 (which i have already done on one windows surface pro successfully). during the process i accidentally "Repartition the drive". windows was downgrade to RT 8 and running smoothly but half of the drivers were not installed (including Wifi).
In disk management i can see four partitions:
350mb Healthy (Recovery Partition), 200mb Healthy (EFI System Partition), Windows (C: ) 54.06 GB NTFS, 3.52 GB Healthy (Recovery Partition)
Only windows (c: ) partition is accessible and rest of them are inaccessible, hidden & showing only in disk management.
Is there a way to fix this problem. i.e undo repartition the drive or accessing the recovery partition or Lenovo ideapad yoga 11 recovery image
Thanks

Problem is solved.
SAP advice me to pass the OSS note 1329869.
Now repartitionning is OK.

Best way to do this: repartition existing imac internal drive and restore

Hi all, I am trying to solve this problem: flaky bootcamp/reinstall of XP/reinstall of OSX yet keep existing apps working in the process.
Experience level: 4 years on a mac, decades PC sys admin.
History:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2490437&tstart=0
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2489101&tstart=0
My plan, and please verify validity:
1) create a clone of existing 10.5.8 system using CCC, to external harddrive
2) create timemachine backup on external drive (extra protection)
3) boot up on external hardrive OSX image to repartition internal harddrive.
Question: does it matter what version of OSX to boot up on to do the reformatting? I have several bootable OSX drives, including one with 10.6 install DVD, but I have no physical DVD disks from Apple available. I do have the boot camp 3 drivers on a pen drive.
4. clone back the image created in step 1.
5. run bootcamp assistant to create bootcamp partition
6. install XP or Vista, and use pen drive to install boot camp 3 drivers.
What if Scenario: what if I wanted to update this imac to SL while I am here doing all of this reformatting? I am thinking as an alternative to step 3 above, I could do a fresh install of 10.6, and then use the timemachine backup to transfer programs and settings? What are the risks here? The only thing this machine is used for is to record music using Protools, both on the mac side and in bootcamp. Avid says it supports protools in SL:
Avid is pleased to announce that the 8.0.3 version of Pro Tools® software provides full support for Apple’s latest operating system, Snow Leopard. Pro Tools 8.0.3 HD, LE, M-Powered, and M-Powered Essential software for Mac OS X all support the following operating systems:* Mac OS X 10.6.1 – 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard)* Mac OS X 10.5.5 – 10.5.8 (Leopard)
So I guess I am good to go there. Comments? Gotchas? thx!!!
coocoo
ps. feel free to be as technical as possible; i can take it:)

It probably doesn't matter, but use the version that's the same as, or just prior to, what you'll be running. If you're going to stay with Leopard, use a Leopard version of Disk Utility, just to be sure.
I don't do Windoze, but from what I read, your plan makes sense.
What if Scenario: what if I wanted to update this imac to SL while I am here doing all of this reformatting?
I would advise against that. Don't introduce another big change into the process -- if something goes wrong, you won't know what caused it, or what to re-do. Get Leopard running first, and use it for at least a few hours, or a few days. Then upgrade (the upgrade is very easy -- you just upgrade. There are no +Erase and Install+ or +Archive and Install+ options anymore: just Install, which installs a new version of OSX without disturbing anything else.)
And by the way, you really should have the disc(s) that came with your Mac. You'll need them to run the +Apple Hardware Test+ if you suspect hardware problems, and may need them for other things as well. Give AppleCare a call (800-275-2273); supply your serial number and they'll send you a set for a nominal fee.

How to Repartition 3TB Fusion Drive?

Hi, I've noticed an interesting phenomenon of my iMac, which has a 3TB fusion drive. The phenomenon is that the fusion drive has a 2.2 TB + 800GB partitions. I understand fusion drive is actually a 128GB flash drive plus a 2.87GB hard drive. Then why is the fusion drive divided into a 2.2 TB and a 800 GB partitions?
Anyways, that was just my curiosity. I have a practical question. I am trying to install Windows 8.1 on this iMac to do some development/environment testing works. I realized when I use Boot Camp 5.1, it will not let me install Windows 8.1 successfully. The error is when I head to Windows installation, formatted the Boot Camp partition to NTFS (or simply just format it), it will keep telling me:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed GPT disks"
I then tried making a USB bootable disk through UNetBootin. It tells me the same thing. I don't have a CD or DVD drive on my iMac, so I cannot try burning a DVD. So then I started my research about this error.
And it seems to be a common error based on my research. The solution is that I should remove the bootcamp partition from Boot Camp Assistant and then use the Disk Utility to create a new partition for Windows. I did the first part, but then I head to the Disk Utility, it says:
"The full size of the Fusion Drive is not available for repartitioning."
I restarted the computer, and it tells me the same message.
Now I guess I have two questions, answering either one can help me through my goal.
1. How to create partitions on a 3TB fusion drive?
2. How to install Windows 8.1 on a Boot Camp partition?

Hey I meant to answer my own question! Thanks for reminding me.
A good reference link is on Super User where some other users already answered methods for Macbook Pro. Here is the link:
http://superuser.com/questions/481650/cant-use-bootcamp-partition-for-windows-8- installation/846439#846439
I am going to copy my reply from the thread. Here we go:
I was stuck with this challenge last night as well. After 10 hours, I finally have resolved this. As it turns out, not all OSX are the same. For example, I have Macbook Pro Retina, iMac, and Mac Pro. ClaitonLovatoJr's solution works on Macbook Pro Retina but not iMac or Mac Pro.
Here is why:
iMac (2014) and Mac Pro (2014) have different types of hard-drive. So far I haven't gotten Mac Pro to work, because it has the most particular type of hard-drive, perhaps Windows simply does not support. But again, I haven't tried for very long.
On iMac, here is how you can get Windows 8.1 (Professional) to install.
Since late 2012, iMac have fusion drive, which means its hard-drive is combined with SSD and traditional hard-drive. As a result, Apple has an interesting way to manage it. I am not going to the details. In short, EFI would not work with the hardware, so we must go through Apple's Boot Camp.
The first thing to do is to find a USB flash drive. Many people including me failed because we try to use SD card. This won't work because SD card is too advance for what we are doing. It will load the install program, but after loading it becomes all Windows, and then it will fail the installation. So what we need is an old fashion flash drive. I tried using SD card adapter, it failed too. It might have something to do with the type of adapter I have. But to be safe, we should USE FLASH DRIVE.
Then we will create an installation stick with Boot Camp Assistant. Be sure to use the latest 5.1 version. And we must check downloading from Apple, because it will give you drivers you need to complete the installation. If downloading failed for some reason, we can download the files here:
http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Appl e_Software_Updates/Mac_OS_X/downloads/031-3384.20140211.Xcc3e/BootCamp5.1.5621.z ip
And then manually place the files to the installation disk.
I suggest not to check install just yet, in case you need to manually place the file.
Now we can finally use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows. We must use it because Boot Camp is the only application that can create usable disk space for the installation. Disk Utility or other type of applications will not work. Apple has a very specific design for the hybrid EFI-MBR system for iMac's fusion drive.
Then the computer should restart, and very likely to stuck in black screen. Don't panic, this is because there is a bug in Apple's Boot Camp loading system. The wait time is too short, if you have many devices connected it will not load correctly. We can power off the computer by holding the power button and then power up while holding option key.
Now we cannot choose EFI-Windows when booting up, we must choose Windows. EFI is faster and more advance, but we cannot use it.
Now we should be able to boot into the installation interface, a very lowres one. If you see a highres interface it means it went to the EFI. Power down and try again. If you don't see the lowres interface, something went wrong. Boot into OSX and remove Windows through Boot Camp Assistant (actually just to kill the new partition), and then redo everything.
If you are in lowres interface, it's not all done yet. You still need to format the new partition, either just by clicking on format or using command center. Now you should be able to install!
After installation we can set up Windows, but it will die and reboot. Don't panic, because iMac is not design for Windows. Windows thought it had some hardware failure. And then we will be able to login after rebooting, but it will stuck for a long period of time - like 20 to 30 minutes. This is because it needs to download and set up some drivers for the odd environment it encountered. Finally, we will see pop up to encourage us to install Boot Camp on Windows. We don't have to. We can always use option key went starting the computer. But it's up to you.
When shutting down Windows sometime it will fail and give you errors, this is because Windows ultimately does not work with Apple's driver very well (fusion drive or other hardware). No worry, just power down by holding the power button.
Hopefully this help!

Need to repartition to install Lion?

When I am propmted to select the disk to install Lion on, my startup disk has a message This Disk doesn't use the GUID Partition Table Scheme...
What? I need to repartition my mac to install Lion? I have lost my systems disk so now I am screwed? ***, does that mean I will also have to reinstall all of my existing applications if I figure out how to repartition my drive? Can I easily restore the apps, with all supporting files from my existing TimeMachine backup? This really has me upset, as I didn't see any mention of this on the Lion page on the Apple Web site, nor did I see it mentioned in the App store before buying

I ran Disk Utility Verify and found there where some errors to correct, so I did a repair. After the repair was successful I tried to install Lion again. Once again it's telling me to repartition my hard drive.
S.M.A.R.T. Status : Verified
Partition Map Scheme : Apple Partition Map
So it looks like Apple changed the Partition Map Scheme at some point from Apple Partition Map to GUID I guess a re partition is the ONLY way around this?

Repartitioning a single drive from 2 partitions to 1 while maintaining a Time Machine backup

This is a bit of a quirky situation and I had a very difficult time finding the right search terms to bring me anywhere close to an answer. I still don't have one.
So here's the situation: I have an iMac hooked up to a 1TB external HDD via FireWire. Previously I had the HDD partitioned into 1 500GB partition for Time Machine and 1 1500GB partition for media files. I have since decided to move all my media back onto my internal HDD and would like to repartition the entire external HDD for use with Time Machine (as I will now have Time Machine backing up many of these media files as well) but I don't want to lose my existing backup history. I've seen the instructions for moving a Time Machine backup from one drive to another but how do I move a Time Machine backup off of an external HDD, reformat said drive from 2 partitions to 1, and move the backup back to it without disrupting the hard links?

BacktwoBedlam wrote:
The Time Machine backup is just an image
No, it's a complex set of folders and files, intricately linked together with multiple hard links.
Copying it to your internal HD will take a long time, if there's room for it; and emptying the trash after deleting it will take an extremely long time, and likely result in permissions and/or locked file problems.
If you do have to copy the Backups.backupdb folder, copy it only to a separate partition so you can just erase it when done.
See #18 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details.

Best way to repartition external hard drive to give Time Machine more space

I have my external 2 TB hard drive segmented into 2 equal 1 TB partitions. The first partition is my time machine back-ups. The second is media files.
I also have approx 500GB of storage left on my 1 TB internal Mac HD. I keep receiving an error message that Time Machine cannot complete because it needs more file size. I have 185 GB available and it needs 225 GB.
I realize TM needs additional space to process back-ups; but what is my best option for re-partitioning my external HD since my first partition is used for TM? Or can I make TM work without repartitioning? Any suggestions?

See the pink box in #C4 of [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
It sounds like there ought to be room on the TM partition, though. Are you sure there's nothing else there, besides the backups for that Mac? See #A1 in Troubleshooting for a handy widget that will display the backup messages from your logs. Navigate to the first time it failed, copy and post them here.
Repartitioning will be tricky. How much stuff is on the second partition? It's possible you can split it, copy the data from it to the new partition, then delete the second one and expand the TM partition into the empty space. See #4 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Using Snow Leopard+ forum).

Can i repartition an extended hard drive?

I partitioned a 1TB Seagate exHD so i could back up with Time Machine and use the partition for other stuff.Well, i never used the other side but, now the partition i used for TM is filled. So, what i want to know is whether i can repartition the unused side and use part of that for my new TM backups?I have a Mac air,version 10.10

Open the Disk Utility, select the drive, and look at the Partition tab.
If the Time Machine backup is on the first partition in the list, delete the second, drag the slider below the first as far down as it will go, and click Apply.
If the Time Machine backup is on the second partition in the list, move it to the first or another location, delete the second, put it onto the first if needed, and proceed as above.

TS1550 Time Machine fails to backup after I've repartitioned the external drive

Just got this new iMac running OS X version 10.8.4 and can't get Time Machine to complete the back up... It is extremely slow... makes me think of the Windows environment I'm trying to escape from... and then after several hours (only achieving about 200MB back up) I get a message that the back up failed.
I've repartitioned the 1T HP drive several times to the Mac OS as advised by the Apple on-line advisory, and have run rhe Disk utility repair function... but still can't get it to work.

Repartition /OVS in vm 2.2.2

Hi
I am doing some tests in Oracle VM 2.2.2 to see how we can repartition /OVS partition (right now empty). What I have done is:
1. get a new disk or LUN
2. partition the new disk
3. mkfs.ocfs2 -T datafiles new partition
4. /opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py -n new partition
5. /opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py -r new uuid
6. /opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py -i
7. /opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py -d old uuid
So far so good but whenever i reboot the server /var/ovs/mount/xxxxxx and /OVS are not mounted. If I mount /var/ovs/mount/xxxxxx manually, the symbolic link /OVS is not created, rather it creates a directory
Am I missing a step?
Can we use LVM instead of ocfs2 of the repository is going to be local? I tried in VM installer by using ALT-F2 then ran lvm command but it just stays in linux prompt. (This I have tried in 2.2.2 and 3.0.3)
Thanks

You need to have suspended lin1 to start a guest domain, so it means lin1 is running but in suspend mode.
If you really want to start the domain you should use:
xm create <path_to>/vm.cfg
Locate your vm.cfg file, this is the Xen config file.

After failed repartition, No bootable device on startup

Hi,Got a really annoying problem.
I had a windows partition using bootcamp. I then tryed to remove it using bootcamp but got a error message stating that drive could not be repartitioned. I tryed again but the program froze so I force quit it. Now I cant access the windows partition but there is space occupied on the drive where it should be.
Also when I turn the Macbook on it tries to boot into windows I guess because i get a no bootable device message.
I can still access the mac partition by holding down option at boot but this is getting annoying really quickly.
I have tryed repairing and verifying disk permissions and erasing free space but besides having more room on this partition nothing else.
Have tryed tips on other disussions and nothing has worked.
Any help would be amazing thanks.

I received a new iMac on Wednesday, and therein began my problems. I needed to set up a partition with
Bootcamp so I could run Windows 8.1. After repeated efforts I was unsuccessful, and could not get the
the drivers to work. I read on the Apple support discussions that many have also been not able to get
Bootcamp to work.
I gave up and installed Windows 8.1 with Parallels. It was easy, but when I installed the 42 Windows 8.1
updates, I lost Internet Explorer and could not download things from the internet such as virus protection
software. I had to reinstall Windows and decided not to install any updates. I'll take my chances with
malware and only go on the internet via Safari. Windows 8.1 is terrible, and I see on the blogs that many
people have had dissasters after installing the updates.
Ineeded Windows to run my Quickbooks software. In retrospect, I should just have installed
Quickbooks For Mac even though folks say it is not as good as the Windows version. My accountant
would have needed to adjust to the change. Beware of Windows, and stick with Mac !

New MacMini - Can't Repartition

Hey guys, I have a problem that I hope you can help with.
I have a new MacMini without the optical drive. Someone here took it and tried to install Linux on it and now I need to undo that and get MacOS back on there as the only OS. The problem is I can't get the Linux partition off of the drive.
I boot from the Recovery Partition and then run disk utility. When I try to set the disk back to one large pertition I get the error that says 'Failed to unmount the disk' and the re-partitioning fails.
Is there a way to undo this partition?

You probably can't repartition the entire HD because that would require unmounting the entire HD, which it can't do since you're booting from one of the partitions on it -- the recovery partition.
Got another Mac? Maybe if you put the Mini in Firewire Target Disk mode and hook it up to another Mac, you could then erase and repartition the entire drive.

Repartition a Boot Camp Windows partition

I am trying to restore an Acronis 10 image backup on a Boot Camp Win partition. Acronis does not see the Win partition. I tried Partition Manager 8 to repartition inside the Win partition but PM says it cannot see the drive letters, though its small tools software seem to be ok with that. Has anyone tried to restore an image of another drive on a Boot Camp Win partition ?
Thanks !
