SAP Kernel on Drive D: in dual boot Scenario.

Hello,
I am trying to install SAP 4.7 IDES on my system. My system is Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM and 320GB HDD. This is a dual boot system with Windows 7 on drive C: and Windows Server 2003 (x86/SP2/Enterprise Edition) on drive D:. Drive D: has a partition of 50GB for the OS and SAP files. Further I have another partition E: which has a 100GB partition for Oracle. I want to install SAP on the Windows Server 2003 platform, I would like to know if the SAP Kernel can be installed on drive D: (where windows is located). Any help in this matter would be appriciated. Thanks in advance.
Regars,
Vinay

Hi,
I want to install SAP on the Windows Server 2003 platform,
I would like to know if the SAP Kernel can be installed on drive D: (where windows is located)
Against recommendation as mentioned in official Installation Guide, In your personal system, only for testing/training purpose, you can point SAP Kernel path to any free location which is having around 7GB to 10GB free space in your system.
Rest of the information you will find in its concerned Installation Guide and the possible things you can manage within your system if its accommodated.

Partitioning Hard drive ubuntu arch dual boot

Hello I am running on Ubuntu 11.10, and I'd like to try out Arch Linux. I'm pretty much a complete beginner, and would like to know exactly how to manually configure my hard disc partitions to allow for a ubuntu/arch dual boot.
I have read the beginner's guide and have tried searching for existing documentation on how to configure the partitions. I have not been able to find anything helpful and I apologise if there are already clear instructions aimed at beginners floating around. In this case, could someone point out this documentation to me?
Thank you

Hi there and welcome to arch.
First off, Google offers a plethora of information as to how to go about it.
Our wiki has also quite a few hints.
Just have a browse around. There's plenty of info out there.

GRUB not loading in a UEFI dual boot scenario.

Hey there everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble dual booting arch and windows 7.
So far using the beginner's guide I have partitioned my drive with sda3 as my boot partition and sda's 4 and 5 as my / and home partitions respectively using GPT partitioning, so that the two partitions created by my windows 7 64-bit install won't be affected.
GRUB has installed correctly on sda3 and the windows 7 loader was detected when I ran grub-mkconfig however after booting I am greeted with a windows message stating that bootmgr was not found. So as far as I can tell it seems like grub isn't being loaded at all. Is this because GRUB is installed on sda3 rather than sda1?
The content of my /etc/fstab can be found here:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/sda4
UUID=1dd5f519-d9a2-4030-9075-adc5b90b4470 / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
# /dev/sda5
UUID=c0f183e3-612f-4424-a722-fa8894dc202a /home ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 2
# /dev/sda3
UUID=6129-A183 /boot/efi vfat codepage=437,noatime 0 2

It looks like you have installed and setup grub for BIOS systems and not for UEFI!!!
Please read arch UEFI wiki throughlly https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UEFI, UEFI Bootloaders https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … s#GRUB_2.x and last but not least GRUB https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … _systems_2

Parallels and Mac Drive (native versus dual boot in Boot Camp)

I know my terminology is probably incorrect here but am I correct in thinking that OSX and Win7 will talk to each other when I boot into OSX and access my Win partition via Parallels?
How is this different when I boot "directly" into the Win 7 partition and use it "natively"?
Can I use Mac Drive so that they will talk to each other fluently?
I'd like to store all my files on the OSX partition and I want to make sure I know what I am doing.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Thank you for the link but it wasn't helpful as it only really said compatibility. What did finally resolve the issue was going directly to AMD and finding that they updated the BootCamp specific drivers. For other that stumble upon this, you cannot use the normal drivers from AMD but you must search for the bootcamp specific drivers (which also includes an updated Catalyst utility and a couple extra things not included in Apples release of the drivers).

Dual boot with Mavericks and Snow Leopard on Two different internal drives?

I have a late 2009 quad core Mac Pro running Snow Leopard- it has 4 internal HD's. I want to eventually upgrade to Mavericks. Before I do a clean install of Mavericks on my start up disk that has Snow Leopard OS, I was hoping I could download Mavericks and install it on another clean internal hard drive to test it out before I commit to erasing my main drive and doing a clean install. My Mac Pro meets the minium specs to run Mavericks.
If I install Mavericks on this second internal drive can I dual boot using the option key at start up and elect to either operate in Snow Leopard or Mavericks? What are the concerns or issues I might face if this is possible?
As I have Snow Leopard, I am also unable to produce a Mavericks bootable USB flash drive- the terminal commands don't work with Snow Leopard. With Mavericks installed on a second internal hard drive- will I be able to create a bootable Mavericks USB Flash drive?
Thanks for any advice.

1. Yes.
2. The Spotlight indexes may be rebuilt every time you switch OSes.
3. Yes.

Dual boot Windows 7 and Windows 8 then remove Windows 7

Hi,
my plan is to install Windows 8 on a Windows 7 computer on a new hard drive creating a dual-boot system. Once I have Windows 8 setup properly with apps etc. I want to remove the Windows 7 install and use the old drive for data. what are the steps for this?
Dave

I'll list out the requirements for getting Windows to boot. You might find that it will take you less time to unplug your Windows 7 disk and reinstall Windows 8 than try to troubleshoot. You might also try the Repair option that should be on the Windows
8 DVD. You'll have to use Google to figure out exactly what your configuration is and possibly how to do some of these things.
First, if you have a GPT partitioned disk you have to have a EFI BIOS to be able to boot off it with normal Windows tools. You can switch a disk from GPT to MBR but you'll probably lose everything on it with normal Windows tools. Maybe something like gparted
can change the partition scheme without destroying the data. Disks greater than 2 TB have to be GPT. On the other hand if the disk is MBR partitioned (as is common) then it "should" be straightforward.
You need to have:
A partition on your disk Active (what you did in Disk Management) (It possibly has to be the first; see my comment later)
The bootloader installed on that partition (what bootsect does)
The BCD store for that bootloader to boot Windows (what bcdboot does)
Your BIOS has to be booting to this disk as well
If you look in the lower section of Disk Management you might see that there's another (probably unnamed) partition before your C drive. Try this:
Make that first partition the Active partition.
Unplug the Windows 7 disk
Boot to the Windows 8 DVD
Run bcdboot c:\windows (note: without the /s c:)
If bcdboot complains, try: "bcdboot d:\windows" or "bcdboot e:\windows" in case the drive letter of your Windows installation shifted.

Isolated dual boot with OS mavericks and mountain lion

I just created a dual boot between mavericks and mountain lion (1 physical drive with two partitions) but I'm having troubles where they each see each other. Bin/ lib/ etc are fine (i think) as they are added via environment vars but it seems as though the spotlight privacy directories are shared. For instance, I thought I could simply add the other partition to the Spotlight Privacy list, ie while using mountain lion add /Volumes/Mavericks to the privacy list. However, when I added the volume in one, it also appears in the other. Another issue I've encountered is that while compiling on ML, I was getting errors complaining about the 10.9 sdk.
So, can anyone advise on the proper way to isolate these two operating systems with a dual boot scenario?
Thanks
Adam

Create two partitions on the hard drive. Install each OS on its own partition. This will only work if the computer can be booted from either version.

P35 Neo2 BIOS Settings to run Dual Boot SATA and IDE HD's

Hi,
I was having intermittent problems with a Gigeabyte so upgraded M/B.
I have an IDE "caddy" with 2 Dual boot HD's (Linux Grub booting XP on sda1 and Fedora9 on sda2), and had no problems with either HD's on old M/B.
The old M/B also had SATA sockets which I installed a 250GB drive as my main setup. Dual boot again with same setup. I set the SATA to "auto" and it detected and ran when no IDE caddy was inserted.
Everything ran OK but I had very intermittent CRC failures that I could not isolate, so I upgrade 2 days ago.
Without inserting any IDE drives I can boot the SATA drive OK into Linux OK (it also detects an ext3 partition on a seperate /backup partition so the IDE interface works).
If I now try and boot the XP on my SATA drive, I get the dreaded blue screen.
I assume this is due to me having XP installed without the AHCI support as detailed in other (long) thread showing how to overcome this problem!?
I would also like to know if and I can just boot from my IDE drive (with no SATA's connected), because even though it seems to detect the PATA HD OK, I cannot get it to boot from either of them! I know these HD's have not changed as I have checked both of them on the SATA OS and both Logical volumes are still there and the relevant boot flags are both set.
Even though I have a bit of a complex setup, this may well be a very simple case of BIOS settings (sorry).
FYI:
I have a A7345 IMS V1.8 012408 BIOS and my two IDE drives are both dual boot with XP on the first partition.
Both Linux partitions are formatted using Logical Volume Management (LVM).
Thanks for your time
Any help/pointers would be appreciated as I am not absolutely sure that the M/B is functional or not.

Thanks for the info, I am now a bit clearer as to what is happening!
I removed known good IDE HD from caddie and put it directly on the IDE cable (after removing the old non LVM linux IDE disk that was on it).
The newly connected HD was initialized OK and I can see both SAT and IDE disks listed with F11.
On trying to boot from the IDE, it starts up and decompresses the image, BUT cannot seem to find the LVM Volume group 03 (which is where my /boot partition is located).
It then gives in and after a while, boots back to the SATA OK (where the bootloader is also inside the LVM so I can't see why the LVM IDE disk is a problem but the LVM SATA boots OK).
I do remember (late last night) trying with just IDE drive and of course it just hung because it did not have any alternative to boot!
Any other observations/suggestions?
Apologies its late here and I will not be back for a few hours!
Regards

SAP Netweaver 7.01 trail on a dual boot MacBook Pro

Hello, I would like to know if SAP Netweaver will work on a MacBook Pro. I am planning to dual boot Windows 7 basic using a software called Bootcamp which is native to Mac OS X 10.5
System Spec :
Model Name:     MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:     MacBookPro5,1
Processor Name:     Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:     2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors:     1
Total Number Of Cores:     2
L2 Cache:     3 MB
Memory:     2 GB
Bus Speed:     1.07 GHz
*I have two Questions :*
1) Will SAP Netweaver 7.01 trail work with Windows 7 32 bit basic edition ?
2) Are the system spec above sufficient to run SAP ?
Thank's for your time.

I'm having lots of problems installing SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR1 on my MacBook with WinXP Pro SP2 running in Parallels. I have allocated 1 GB RAM to WinXP and changed the Paging to 4096 MB which is the maximum. I have over 150 GB allocated to the C: drive.
I also changed the number of processes to 1. I am assuming that the change to the C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir\NW701\AS-ABAP\ADA\CENTRAL\inifile.xml file will do the trick.
      <fld name="migmonJobNum">
        <properties>
          <property name ="doc-long" value ="
Number of parallel Migration Monitor jobs." />
        </properties>
        <strval><![CDATA[1]]>
        </strval>
      </fld>
I tried to continue the old installation that I had to stop since it had taken more than 12 hours on the Phase 12 of 27 - Create Database Schema step. If this does not work (this is my third hard time trying to do this after having to uninstall), I think I will get VMware and just install this on the Windows 2003 Server if I can't get this working on XP.
Since you were able to get it working on XP, technically, I should be able to even though it's running in Parallels. There must be a way to monitor the MaxDB database activity to see why the Create Database Schema is taking so long.
Thanks for you help in advance,
Jay

[SOLVED] Dual-boot Arch/Windows - 2 hard drives

Hi Everyone
I've just installed Arch and I'm having a bit of a problem dual-booting between Arch and Windows XP, which are each on a seperate Hard drive.
I've done this successfully before with Mepis Linux and Windows XP, but for some reason it's not working this time.
The difference is that I've recently purchased a new computer and both Windows and Arch are on SATA drives whereas last time they were both on IDE drives. Also I'm not sure whether or not to enable SATA AHCI mode in the BIOS (apparently it doesn't work with XP anyways), or SATA port 0-3 Native mode. Although I've tried all possible combinations and it doesn't seem to work at all.
Here is my menu.lst file:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/0df05d3b-537c-4576-ad36-1f90a6b01ec0 ro vga=773
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
# (1) Windows
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
When I boot into Arch from Grub it works fine, but when I try to boot into Windows from Grub, I get this:
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
and then nothing....No error message or anything. It just hangs. Does anyone have any ideas as to what's happening? Thanks in advance.
edit: It seems I solved the problem by adding these lines to the menu.lst file:
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
root (hd1,0)
I can now boot into either Arch or Windows from the Grub menu

New to Mac... I have partitioned my hard drive Dual Boot M.Lion/S. Leopard with 2 OS partitions and a Media Partition. How do I direct my file storage to the Media Partition? Can I put a "Media" folder on both OS Desktops that will allow me to drag n drop

New to Mac... I have Partitioned my MacBookPro with Dual Boot Partitions running M.Lion and S. Leopard and a seperate media partition.
How do I assign my storage to the MEDIA Partition once I am booted in either OS?
Can I place a folder on my desktop so I can read/write ALL my media to?

Why not? Make a folder in your media partition and put an alias folder (shortcut) on the desktop of each partition/ OS. You can right click on the folder in the media partition and click on "make alias".
If you want to direct your iTunes media to point to the media partition, google "move iTunes library to external disk" and follow the steps; the instructions should be the same for a seperate partition as it is for an external drive.

Can i take a a hard drive from a windows computer, enclosure it and use it on my mac as a dual boot?

I would like to take a hard drive from my old Windows computer which already has Windows 7 installed an use it on my mac as a dual boot. How would i go around doing this so i could keep all the files i already within this hard drive? I have the hard in an enclosure so i just need to know how i could use on my iMac, If anyone could take the time to get back to this i would appreciate it, Thanks!

Windows won't boot from an external drive. Don't waste your time.

Macbook Pro - 2 Hard Drives - Dual Boot OS OSX + Windows

Hello guys, I've been facing an issue here
I bought an SSD 2 years ago and changed the original MBP HD. I did a fresh install of OSX while still having my optical drive. Everything is fine with the OSX installation.
Recently I bought an enclosure and installed the original MBP HD drive into the optical drive slot. Now i have two HD's on my MBP (Early 2011 - Unibody Model)
The configuration for the Hard Drives is as follows:
SSD Drive - disk 0 - OS X Running fine
HD Drive - disk 1 - clean formatted to accommodate Windows 7 installation
I started the BootCamp Utility formated the second hard drive to install windows from bootable USB. Everything works fine until the point where the Windows installation actually expands the files. I always get the same error, that windows cannot be installed on that drive and any changes will be reverted back to original settings.
Several hours after researching the whole thing this is what I've got:
The error that I am getting is for the configuration of the drives, a fix to this problem is to take out my SSD, install the old HD in its original position, install windows normally, put my SSD back in its position and put the old HD in the optical drive and thus I will have the Dual Boot of two OS in two different HD's. That's really really awful as I have to take appart again the whole thing and swap between the drives till the process is finished. This is because The EFI boot + Windows to be installed require the disk that windows to be installed to be on main slot - disk 0.
My question here is, is there any fix to the BootCamp assistant to let me install windows on the hard drive that it is located on the disk 1 position?
Moreover is there any way to install windows through the environment of OSX with the use of a VM, but, the windows to be a bootable OS rather than a VM bootable image? (on disk 1 - optical drive SATA port). - What I mean by that is, while running OS X normally on disk 0 run a VM software that will mimic the environment of a bootloader so that I can install windows on disk 1, but after I shut down my computer, windows should be accessible on disk 1 as a normal installed OS.
Sorry for the long post and thank you very much for your time, any suggestions would be really helpful.

You can install Parallels or Fusion, either will work. When you setup either Parallels or fusion you can tell it to use your already installed Boot Camp installation of Windows as its target guest operating system.
You would then just boot into OSx, start your VM (Parallels or Fusion), then you'll have access to both OSx and Windows without having to reboot.
I have this setup and two monitors. I have my Windows running on my external monitor and OSx running on my Macbook Pro monitor at the same time.
Beware that you will need to re-register Windows to get a second key. This is free and easily done either online or by calling the Microsoft registration number. The reason for needing a second key is that Windows, although only installed once in your Boot Camp partition sees the virtual hardware created by your virtual machine and thinks it has been reinstalled on a new computer.

I want to dual boot Windows 8 on my 20-inch, Mid 2007 iMac, from an external USB drive.

I want to dual boot Windows 8 on my 20-inch, Mid 2007 iMac, from an external USB drive. The internal drive is completely dead, it doesn't even show up in Disk Utility. I'm running 10.8.2 from the external drive. When I start Boot Camp Assistant, at the Introduction page, when I press the continue button nothing happens. Do I have to have internal drive to run Boot Camp Assistant? Can anyone provide me with the steps to dual boot, with his setup? Thanks in advance!

Hi maczimillon,
Only follow these steps, it works for my:
Open "System Information" and note your "Boot ROM Version" (some like MBP51.007E.B06)
Navigate to "Utilities" in Finder and open the package contents of -BootCampAssistant.app- with right click. Duplicate the "Info.plist" file to the Desktop e.g. and open that with Text Editor.
You must locate the keys "DARequiredROMVersions"and "USBBootSupportedModels"
Add new strings with the information of your machine under booth keys (step 1), always respect the format, such as: <string>MBP51.007E.B06</string> for the frist key and <string>MBP51</string> for the second key.
Save changes and replace the original plist file (it may ask you to enter admin pass)
If you proceeded correctly you will see the checkbox "Create a Windows 7 USB install disk" enabled in Boot Camp Assistant.
Then you can follow the usual Boot Camp installation using your WIN8 DVD iso image . The assistant program will proceed resizing your disk partition and installing necessary drivers for your iMac.
I strongly recomends you to use thirld party's bootloaders like rEFInd (rEFIt) because of the Apple SMC versions of some old machines should not be able to boot properly from external devices like USB drives.

How to install Arch for dual-boot with Win 7 (on 2 hard drives)?

Hello,
the TLDR first: how exactly should I proceed when setting up GRUB for 2 hard drives to dual-boot Arch (64 bit)and Win 7 (64 bit)?
Long version: So, I have the following hard drive & partition layout:
On my first hard drive (250 GB big) I have: Win 7 64 bit, all the programs for Windows and of course the EFI partition
My second hard drive is 1 TB big and formatted in NTFS and it only contains data. It has 2 partitions, one is about 750 GB big and used for simple storage.
Sidenote 1: sometimes my disk management (Windows' own gparted) shows either the little disk or the big one as disk 0. Don't know what exactly this means, but I have never ever experienced any problems whatsoever during use.
Sidenote 2: the UEFI motherboard (ASRock H67M) cannot boot into Legacy mode.
I want to install Arch on a ~200 GB partition on the second hard drive (the one with 1 TB). (click here if you want to see a screenshot) I am posting this because I am confused with how exactly I should deal with the whole "2 hdds & UEFI" thing.
So how exactly should I proceed when setting up GRUB for this setup?
For partitioning I suppose I would have to use fdisk or cgdisk. I used cgdisk before and found it to be straightforward. Then, because I have experienced my fair share of problems with rEFInd, I'd like to use GRUB.

First thing you should do is become familiar with your motherboard.
http://www.asrock.com/mb/manual.asp?Model=H67M
This will probably help you out in understanding the sidenote 1 thingie (hdd's on sata3 and/or sata2 connectors)
As on sidenote 2, according to the manual it seems to be possible to boot legacy mode, see Storage Configuration.
