Trouble with a 2nd Partition

I partitioned my hard drive last year. Unfortunately, while booting into Windows I dropped something on my power bar and destroyed the operating system. So - I decided to wipe the partition and start fresh... and have encountered several problems.
After deleting the partition completely, I tried to create a new one.
I encountered this problem:
The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved.
Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again.
So... after some research I discovered that I needed to download CCC. I made a backup of my disk on an external hard drive, booted using the external hard drive... tried to use Disk Utility to erase my internal hard drive... and encountered another problem.
Disk Erase Failed
Disk Erase Failed with the error: Could not unmount disk
Do I did some more research. People suggested booting off of the OSX installation disk and wiping my internal hard drive that way. Unfortunately, I have since lost my OS X Snow Leopard disk and had to borrow my roommate's. When booting with his disk, I encountered another problem.
Mac OS X Can't be Installed on this Computer.
If you want to restore your system from a time machine backup, click "restore from backup".
I don't know what to do next. Am I stuck because I don't have my original OS X disk? Or is it something else? Ideas?

Hi,
Had the same problem... Looks like I had some 'unmovable' files in the zone where Boot Camp wanted to create my second partition.
So, even if HFS volumes are not supposed to get fragmented, well... they do...
I used iDefrag (which, unfortunately, is not free...) to defragment my HD and solve the problem. As a bonus, my Mac OS X system looks a way more reactive since then.

  • My troubles with Drobo (2nd Gen.)

    Hey everyone. I wanted to put my experience here so that people could chip in and learn/share.
    For the past five months I had been having with my Drobo (2nd Gen with 2 FW800s and USB 2.0). It came bundled with 2x 1 TB WD drives. I set it up using Drobo Dashboard and for a time, everything was good in my data world.
    Then two things happened around the same time: Added a 1.5 TB drive to my Drobo and I added a password to secure disks for my Time Machine. Shortly after my computer was no longer able to access my Drobo data via Finder. Drobo Dashboard would still report to me on it's status. Aperture would save the vaults, iTunes would play music from the drive but I could not access the data through Finder, only with Terminal was I able to move, copy, and open/delete files.
    So what should I do but I try different cables, I try both FW ports on the Drobo and even resort to using USB from the Drobo to my computer. Issue remains.
    So I figure what the heck and I plug my Drobo via USB into my Time Capsule, it had worked before for me so let's see... "WHAT!?" I could see the files in folder... "AMAZING!!!" But wait, ***!? I move from the Drobo Directory back to my user directory and try to go back and I can't. It shows me that horrible site of the Drobo just as bad Alias. Double clicking it has Finder offer to fix the alias but alas that doesn't work just like I knew it wouldn't.
    I unmount the Drobo and retry going to Network>Time Capsule> Drobo and BAM! Finder sees the files again, but I change directories and hit 'Back' and now the Drobo is a bad alias again... "Darnit!"
    This is starting to agitate me but being comfy with unix I survive, every day I hate plugging in the Drobo because I won't have that GUI-ease any more. Months pass and having contacted Drobo, Apple, tech-savy friends I get nowhere.
    Then one day I try plugging my Drobo into my PowerMac G4 and the Drobo works fine there. (This is where I should've gotten my first clue). So I try to have my MBP access the Drobo through Network> PMG4>Drobo and "Hooray" it is there again... but I am still not out getting beers of celebration. So I change directories and go back and darn I have the same alias issue.
    So now I see that my MBP can access the files via a Network connection 'one-time only' and other than that my other system works fine with it. My cousin brings his MBP over and we test it out, it is perfect on his system. He can access the files, change directories from Drobo to his system and back again all day long, it is perfect... This is puzzling me to no end.
    I talk to one of my great friends who has the in with all issues with the 'good' companies. He mentions a possible bad Symlink and that gives me fuel to start my hunt for a resolution. Months go by and I get no where.
    This is destroying my tech-esteem, myself who is a AASP server guy and general S.M.A.R.T.-@$$. So I reach out again to my pals in various tech fields and no progress is made other than I learn a few more terminal commands.
    Well two weeks ago I say, "screw it!" and I start copying my Drobo data off to my other drives and spend the following 5 days copying things via Terminal from the Drobo to 3 different drives. At one point of the copy I tell terminal to "sudo cp -rfv /Volumes/Drobo /Volumes/Extra Drive " and you won't guess what happened within 30 seconds I was not able to access that drive via Finder though Terminal was still copying data just fine. So I stopped Terminal with Cmd+. and removed the invisible files that it had copied and then the Drive was good again in Finder... So changed my cp command and only did the two visible folders that mattered to me. Finder was still happy... (HINT!)
    I finally have my Drobo empty and things set aside and I figure that this time I won't use Drobo Dashboard to format it. So I go over to Disk Utility to reformat it. It fails! So this is where I get lucky and hit myself in the head because it never dawned on me to think about the limit of the Apple Partition Map (2 TBs). I knew a long time ago that APM didn't like being formatted for more than 1 TB and 2 TB was out of the question. So I have Disk Utility reformat the drive for GUID. It works but there is a problem, Drobo Dashboard says that data is still on the Drobo.
    Okay Drobo Dashboard, I'll play your game. So I go through the set up assistant and figure out what happened (maybe). I think what originally happened is when I got the Drobo I set it up to be a 1 TB volume so Drobo Dashboard just set it to APM by default. So when I added the other 1.5 TB drive in months later, rather than just making that 1.5 drive a 1 TB image drive it went crazy with it and went halfway with APM and GUID structures. I say it that way because since it was my MBP that was plugged in with the Drobo originally the Symlink between my Drobo and MBP was different that other peoples units. <I'll interject right here will quick and add that in the 5 months of my Drobo not working with my computer I had 3 new hard drives, 5 fresh installs, and a new logic board. I even tried to triage the /dev folder for issues and that turned up nothing>
    So I took a second and revisited Drobo's latest updates and manuals and so I set up my Drobo to be 16 TBs in size though it has only 2x 1 TB and a 1.5 TB drive. Drobo Dashboard set up the unit to be GUID, erased the ghost data that had lingered from Disk Utility and things were fine. Finder was finally working again so I copied over my system's User folder to the Drobo and it worked fine, navigation was GUI again and for 30 minutes I tested everything. I hope that with this out there other people can learn from my time and trials. Please don't hesitate to comment or question me. I'd be happy to help and/or go into more detail.
    Quick side note though. Drobo should've seen this at the very get go had they asked better questions and actually looked at the screen shots I submitted to them of Finder, Drobo Dashboard, Disk Utility and more. The fact that Drobo doesn't give you the APM/GUID option during the walk through (and them smartly disabling it for people who go over 2 TBs is stupid on their part as well IMO). Thanks for reading and good luck to you and your data!

    There are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Just to summarise what's in the link above:
    Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries.
    Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library: Loading songs onto iPod automatically
    However as she is going to use her iPod on another computer she would need to set her iPod to manual update:

  • Trouble with reading from partitioned drive.

    Hi guys.
    A family member has entrusted me with trying to sort out her laptop. Her internal hard drive was full and was not letting her do anything.
    I found out that the drive was partitioned in half 80GB/80GB.
    I then proceeded to clean up the laptop as it hadn't had any cleanup done to it in the 4 years of owning it and it was very slow.
    I got to the iTunes folder and moved it to the partitioned half. I then looked into getting the iTunes program to read the files from this drive b changing the folder location through Edit> Preferences> Advanced> Change iTunes Media folder Location.
    I changed it to D:\iTunes Media\Music
    At first this worked and all the library was listed. Then after the family member got it home she opened it up and there wasn't anything in the library.
    It had reverted back to :C drive where there wasn't any media anymore as I have deleted it. Currently it is still in the : D drive and also on an External HDD backed up.
    I would like to know how I am supposed to get iTunes to read the media from the Partitioned drive and also use this drive as its storage drive all the time when purchasing media.
    I am not all that good with this kind of thing as there is only so much I can understand from the internet

    anyone?

  • I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made & opening as read only for the 2nd person - but allowing them to save the file.

    1) I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made.  As soon as you open the file and exit.  It prompts for a save.
    All excel versions are 15.0.4701.1002.
    Using a table.
    the functions CELL, OFFSET, TODAY, INDIRECT, NOW, INFO and RAND are not being used.
    2) Same file.   2nd person is being told they are opening the file as read only - but when they are quitting excel prompts them to save the file. 
    Everything was working fine.  I started having problems with Excel, IT wiped my version out and re-installed office. 
    File is on networked server HP - Windows Server 2012 Essentials.  
    We are all on Windows 8.1 Pro.
    I really hope someone can help - the excel expert had no answer - and passed me along to here.

    I copied the whole file and started deleting worksheets one at a time and testing it by closing it and re-opening it then closing it again – to see if it wanted to save. 
    Once all the pivot tables were deleted – the problem went away. 
    I found that some of the pivot tables had automatic refresh upon open, so this caused the excel to think data had changed. 
    It is fixed now.  By clicking on one cell of the pivot table, analyze, options, data and uncheck the 3<sup>rd</sup> square down to not automatically refresh.  NOT A NETWORK ISSUE.

    my partition layout inherit from the time where I had both Windows and Arch Linux installed (so I was low on free primary partitions) is: sda1 350 GB ext4, sda3 8 GB swap, sda4 98 GB ext4. So I have no /home and / in different partitions as sda1 is where I have all my data.
    my /etc/fstab:
    devpts                 /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0

    Also, my /tmp folder has not being cleaned in 5 days. ¿Does it not supposed to be cleaned at every boot/shutdown (I have booted few times in five days)?
    So, my troubles here are:
    / is mounted twice, and /tmp is not being cleaned. Any clue on this?
    Also, to me, my/proc/self/mounts seems weird, aside from the fact that I think there is why / is mounted twice. Could someone check that?
    Thank you in advance.

    But as far as I can remember, that has been always there since I started using burg instead of grub (half of a mont ago, maybe more). And never got troubles with that.
    Also, rc.local has everything comented out
    EDIT: have I to assume that the burg entry is leading to troubles?

  • 2nd partition with Tiger

    Hi,
    I just got a new MacBook Black and would like to have two bootable partitions -- 1 Leopard and 1 Tiger. I need to have a Tiger partition so that I can sync with my Palm Treo 700p, which I was never able to sync with Leopard on my PowerBook using HotSync (and I'm not a fan of the Missing Sync). Every time I try to install Tiger on the 2nd partition, however, I get an error message stating something like "This software cannot be installed on this computer."
    Any advice?
    John

    If you'd purchased the previous 2.16GHz black MacBook version that originally came with a set of Tiger install discs, instead of a 2.2GHz black MacBook with a set of Leopard install discs, you could install the original Tiger onto one partition and add a retail version of Leopard onto a separate partition. The biggest problem with that strategy might be that the older MacBook had a RAM limit of 2GB compared to your new MacBook's 4GB, not to mention that the new one has a faster front side bus.
    Your new MacBook with Leopard install discs will only install Leopard or the next OS X after Leopard, but it will not install an old OS X like Tiger or Panther; or OS 9.
    Refer to this Apple Support article:
    "Don't install older versions of Mac OS than what comes with your computer"
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25497
    I don't advise doing it, but if you don't care about the RAM, you could return the new one and buy a refurb 2.16GHz model, if you don't mind going backwards with technology. We're sure to hear some howls about that, but it is only up to you to decide.
    Me, I'd just sell the Palm and keep the new black MacBook. I happen to be waiting for mine to arrive:)) The 4GB RAM capability means I'll be able to keep it for 3+ years, just as I have done with my iBook G4 with a max 1.25GB of RAM.

  • I am having trouble with a form, won't tab to 2nd page...

    I am having trouble with a form I created in Acrobat Pro 10. I created tabs etc, they all work wonderfully in Adobe, but once I uploaded it onto the web-based program for other users, the tabs only work  on page 1, I have to click on page 2 to keep tabbing through.  It won't tab into it.  Any advise?  Also, when the users open it it opens in the web.

    1. The library is separate from the application, so re-installing shouldn't cause an issue with the actual photos. But it would be foolhardy in the extreme to do anything without first backing up.
    2. Often these issues are caused by a damaged Library, so reinstalling doesn't change much.
    FWIW
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
    Alternative approach:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • How do I extend an existing wireless network with a 2nd time capsule?  I want to tether them with a gigabit ethernet connection.

    I am having trouble with extending a wireless network using 2 timecapsules (1 is 1 terrbyte hdd, the other has a 2TB HDD.)  The first one is connected to the WAN (cable modem) and our LAN.  I would like to connect the 2nd one to the ethernet LAN and have it 'rebroadcast' the 1st ones wireless n network in order to expand the overall range of the network.  Your help is very much appreciated.

    Suggest that you download and install the much more useful AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion.
    I assume that Time Capsule 1 is operating correctly at this time.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
    Select Time Capsule 1 and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons and make a note of each of the setttings on this Wireless page.
    Make sure that the Ethernet cable is connected to the WAN "O" port on Time Capsule 2.
    Open up AirPort Utility and select Time Capsule 2 and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the icons and enter the exact same settings that you wrote down for Time Capsule 1
    Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
    Make sure that the settings look like this:
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click Update and allow 25-30 seconds for Time Capsule 2 to restart to a green light
    Very important......perform a power cycle of the entire network as follows:
    Power off every device in any order that you wish
    Wait a minute
    Power up the modem and let it run for minute by itself
    Power up Time Capsule 1 the same way
    Power up Time Capsule 2 the same way
    Continue starting devices one at a time the same way until the entire network is back up

  • Player on WD2 Black (Dual Drive) unable to access 2nd partition

    Host OS : Win 7 Pro (x64)
    Guest OS: XP Pro (x86)
    I had a regular (mechanical) 500 GB hard drive (2 partitions OS and DATA) with W7P (x64) and VM Player 3.x running XPP for years with no problem.
    I could access the 2nd partition through the Guest OS and modify/save files etc on it.
    I just got a new WD2 Black Dual Drive (120GB SSD and 1TB mechanical in one unit) so technically there are 2 partitions on the drive.
    I copied the entire Player (data) folder from the old drive to the new. I installed the same version of Player 3.x and tried to access the Guest OS - I am able to access it but unable to access network or usb drives (keep getting errors as it boots up also) etc.
    So I started from scratch on new drive - installed vmplayer 3.x (even tried every version upto v 7.1.0) and installed Guest OS (XPP) again and now I am able to access the network and usb drives etc.
    But when I add the 2nd partition in the settings and start the player I get an error that it cannot start because it cannot power up the scsi (2nd partition) drive and it shuts down.
    If I remove the 2nd partition from settings it boots up fine.
    I am able to access the 2nd partition in W7P with no problems.
    In the Guest OS I am not able to access the 2nd partition.
    I called WD Support and they said to call VMWARE support and the problem has nothing to do with the physical drive.
    I have updated all the VMware tools (as recommended) but still not able to access the 2nd partition.
    In W7P I had to install a "driver" software to access the 2nd partition. I tried to install the same thing in the Guest OS (XPP) it starts to install and then comes back and says it cannot see the 2nd partition.
    Any help in this would be greatly appreciated as I would like to keep all the documents/data on the 2nd partition and be able to access the same from both the HOST and GUEST OS's without having to create duplicates or transfer them back and forth between the two.

    OK FaiyazR, I think I see your core question.
    When you first create a VM the only "disk" it knows is the virtual one.
    If you want to access the physical disk or just specific files on the physical disk, you will have to set up a "Shared Folder". Here is one way to do it:
    While in VM Player:
    Go to the "Player" button(screen upper-left)
    Select "Manage"
    Select "Virtual Machine Settings"
    In the popup window select "Options"
    In the "Options" menu select "Shared Folders"
    Click enabled
    Click "Map as a network drive in Windows guests"
    Click the "Add..." button which brings up the Shared Folder Wizard
    Enter the "Host Path" to the partition (or folder) you wish to share. Repeat for next partition (or folder).
    Hope this helps.

  • More then 2 partitions on an external drive with a Fat32 partition...

    Hey guys. I'm having some troubles with partitioning an external USB drive in disk utility.
    I want to have 4 partitions total, 3x MAC OS Extended (journaled) and 1x FAT 32.
    I am able to create the partitions (using GPT) fine in disk utility and as far as the OSX is concerned, all the partitions are viewable and work fine however windows machines do not see the fat32 partition. Windows only sees one large GUID partition that it cannot read.
    If I reformat the drive (using GPT) with 1 MAC OS Ext (journaled) partition and 1 FAT32 partition, both windows and the Mac find all the partitions and things work as they should.
    I want 4 partitions so I can have a data drive for OSX, a bootable copy of the snow leopard install disc, a bootable copy of a fresh snow leopard installation and a windows data drive for exchanging files.
    Is there anyway I can do this or do I need to stick to 2 partitions if I want the fat32 partition to be readable by windows?

    I would try NTFS. I know that that would prevent you from doing anything with the partition from your Mac, but that's sort of a small price to pay. To compensate partially, you could run MacDrive (mediafour.com) on the Windows machine(s). MacDrive allows Windows machines to read and write Mac formatted drives.

    Could there be a problem with the way Sno is formatting FAT. I never use FAT so I am not quite sure what is going on here. But, many have reported that the Sno Disk Utility no long refers to FAT32, just to FAT, and having FAT formatted, they have FAT problems--i.e., things don't work like they should under FAT32. Maybe you should try formatting with an Install DVD that clears specifies FAT32.

  • Having trouble with sound quality

    I have had this iPod Touch 2nd Generation for almost 2 years now, and I'm starting to have some troubles with it. The headphone sound quality is now starting to deteriorate. Unless the headphones are plugged in a specific way, either one bud goes out, or the sound quality goes down, as there is a lot of static and crackling, and I've had experiences with it actually shocking my ears while I'm listening.
    I have tried a new pair of headphones, and this does nothing.
    My iPod is obviously beyond the manufacturer's warranty, and it's up-to-date with the latest update. Is there anything I can do?

    Sounds like your headphone jack may need replacing.

    I waited several minutes for Windows to boot and eventually the windows cursor appeared on the screen.  It went through the system like it was going to start but ran the message below and then a blue background (it wasn't plain blue though, it was like a wallpaper) and the command prompt thingy came up stating exactly this:

    Old EXP IMP doesnt have capability to append the row, since you're using 10g use datapump instead. use option TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=APPENDso my import should be like this
    imp "'/ as sysdba'" file=Table1_1006.dmp fromuser=user1 touser=user1 tables=Table1 log=imp_Table1_1006.log TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=APPEND
    Did you look up the command line syntax and control options for imp?
    You should make it a habit that whenever anyone - especially a stranger on the web - gives you a bit of code or references a command or init parm or any some such, the VERY FIRST thin you should ALWAYS do is look it up for yourself and see exactly where and how it is used and what it means. That is how you grow beyond having to be spoon fed every little thing and become more self-sufficient.
    If you had, you would have seen that there is no TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION option for imp and seen that it is an option for impdp. And realized that exp and imp are NOT the same thing as expdp and impdp.
    =================================================
    Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
    Go to tahiti.oracle.com.
    Drill down to your product and version.
    <b><i><u>BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION</u></i></b>
    Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab you will find the complete documentation library.
    Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what <b><i><u>kind</u></i></b> of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
    Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what <b><i><u>kind</u></i></b> of information is available there.
    Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
    Do the same with the Utilities manual.
    You don't have to read the above in depth. They are <b><i><u>reference</b></i></u> manuals. Just get familiar with <b><i><u>what</b></i></u> is there to <b><i><u>be</b></i></u> referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
    Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
    - Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
    - Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
    - Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
    - When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.
    Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

  • I'm having trouble with my computer, I boot it up and within a few minutes it freezes and I have to restart it, I tried updating it to the latest mavericks but it won't finish the installation it's stuck at the end, what can I do to fix this?

    As stated I'm having trouble with my computer, I boot it up and within a few minutes it freezes and I have to restart it, I tried updating it to the latest mavericks but it won't finish the installation it's stuck at the end, what can I do to fix this? I need it for homework tonight.

    Crowntheme,
    you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it still freeze after a few minutes?
