Using Camp Tune to re-partition hard drive

I used Camp Tune to re-partition my hard drive to create more disk space on the Windows side. I added 5GB but when I try to run the Windows update it is telling me that I do not have enough disk space..4MB is required. My disk tells me I have 5GB free and the download is telling me I don't even have 4MB available. Why is Windows not recognizing the newly created free space?

This question should have been posted under the "BootCamp" forum. Camp Tune allows you to re-partion your hard drive after installing Boot Camp. I originally did not allow enough hard drive space for the Windows side of my computer; Camp Tune allowed me to add 5GB without having to erase everything and start from scratch.

Boot Camp Assist can't partition hard drive

Boot Camp won't partition my 500GB internal HD. I get the message:
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. 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." I had recently used SuperDuper to replace my original single partition internal HD with the new 500GB HD with three partitions. I had not setup Boot Camp on the original HD. After getting the Boot Camp Assist error message on the new HD I used SuperDuper to clone back from my original HD (which was now external) with a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. I then ran Boot Camp Assist again and got the same message. I ran Disk Utility Verify Disk Permissions and got some errors which I then successfully repaired. I still get the same Boot Camp partition error. Any suggestions?

When you partition your drive you are given the option to format it for OS 9, if you choose this option your drive will be formatted to be incompatible with Boot Camp. This incompatiblity will remain when you put it back to a single partition unless you go to options and select the top radio button (format for Intel Mac) to create a GUID Partition Table (at least that's what I did and it fixed the problem).

Need Urgent help, I have made partition hard drive in my mac book and using OS mac

Need Urgent help, I have made partition hard drive in my mac book and using OS mac & Window8 seperately... for couple of days it works great for both window & OS mac But nowadays, my pc gets restart automatically while using window & even I cant access to my Mac OS........... I got some error in window (error80070003) ...>>>>> Now how can I format whole drive & recover my Mac book OS.without boot disk.

I can't find that model. If you open System Profiler in the Utilities folder look for the Model Identifier over in the right hand display. What do you find for the model ID? If your computer supports Internet Recovery here's what to do:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. If Mavericks is not installed, then you can reinstall it by re-downloading the Mavericks installer.
You will need to use Boot Camp Assistant in order to create a new Windows partition, then reinstall Windows.

I recently purchase macbook air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my Seagate external backup plus hard drive for time machine back up. How to partition my 1TB Seagate back up plus hard drive for use with mac and windows pc?

Hi All,
I recently purchased 13" Macbook Air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my 1TB Seagate backup plus external hard drive as time machine and my windows 7 pc. Please suggest a method. Thanks in advance for your reply.

I strongly recommend having an external drive dedicated solely for TimeMachine. You could partition the drive but if something goes wrong you risk losing the data on both partitions. Should you decide to go ahead with splitting the drive for two different uses you’ll need to partition the drive either using the Mac’s built in Disk Utility program or Windows utility. I believe the built in Windows disk utility program will destroy the current partition and erase the data that’s on it - I use a third party Windows disk utility program for partitioning and it allows for non-destructive partitioning but warns to back up data first just in case. Apple’s Disk Utility can do non-destructive partitions but I don’t recall every trying to do a non-destructive partition on a disk originally formatted for Windows using it. Again - back up that data just in case.
Finally, your TimeMachine drive should be at least 1.5 times (I prefer 2 times) the size of the data you expect to be backing up a year or two from now. In other words, if you currently are using 50GB of your computer’s drive but expect to begin purchasing Mac software to replace software on your Windows computer and if you expect to be putting photos, music, and other data on it you might expect that two years from now you’ll have 100GB of stuff on the drive. So a 200GB partition is the smallest size you’d want. TM’s backup scheme keeps multiple copies of data as it changes so the extra room is important for this scheme.

Re-partitioning hard drive, XP to Win7 upgrade

Realizing that my existing XP Boot camp (3.0.1) partition was not going to be large enough for Win7, I deleted my existing partition along with my XP installation.
Two issues
1- I now cannot partition my newly un-partitioned hard drive in Boot Camp. I got some message about the memory already being used, and the need for a journaled format.
According to Disk Utility, my HD format is Mac os extended (journaled). My RAID type is Mirrored RAID type.
Any ideas how to get my disk to partition? I did zero out all the free space on the drive before trying to partition.
2- To get to Win7, do I now have to reinstall XP, upgrade Boot Camp to 3.1, install Win7?
Another problem I seem to have is that i bought an Upgrade version of Win7. Is that going to work for me?
Thanks in advance for any help. NEIL

Hi Neil,
1- I removed my previous boot camp partition. My Mac HD is mac osx extended (journaled). raid type is mirrored raid set, but raid size is 0 kb. What should my settings be, and where do i change them?
So you have a RAID set with Disk Utility but are not using it ?
What exactly is the 'layout' of your harddisks ?
If you don't use that once set RAID, it might be best to clean house right now and get rid of it.
Disk Utility can do this, but you have to backup your OSX first, since undoing a RAID deletes the content of the HDs/partitions in it.
2- in your post, you reference the following link within a thread http://codesociety.com/2008/10/23/boot-camp-cannot-partition-disk-files-could-no t-be-moved-error/ but this page is jibberish. Any other advice on what to do when boot camp cannot partition?
Sorry, seems that that page is gone for bad.
Like said, the BootCamp Assistant needs to find a free contigeous amount of diskspace of the size you specify in the BCA when partitioning.
That error you get implies that the BCA can not find it.
Have a look at my other posts in the thread I linked to, on how-to use an external harddisk and something like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your OSX back and forth to get the needed free diskspace for the BCA.

Do I need to install virus protection for the windows portion of the partitioned hard drive on the MacBook Pro?

Do I need to install virus protection for the windows portion of the partitioned hard drive on the MacBook Pro?

You are running Windows, so yes. I like Microsoft's built in protection and how 8.1 is 'hardened' but I also install Malwarebytes. I will not use Kaspersky anymore. But you do need something. And 8.1 is more secure than prior versions definitely but there were some major zero-day security updates on this month's "Patch Tuesday."
The forum for you is "Boot Camp" and this if you look above: Communities / Desktop / Mac Pro is not for MacBook Pro

Can my iSight work on partitioned hard drive with windows 7?

I have a macbook pro 17in screen, snow leopard. I have yet to get it updated to the latest operating system. I partitioned the hardrive to run windows 7. The built in iSight camera is not working. The dvd player will not visual to tv or projector. If I wanted to project a power point presentation, it wont transfer thru the hardware provided by the mac.

Yes. If you are using BootCamp to boot Windows®, see Apple - Support - Boot Camp for help.
If you are using an virtualization emulator like Parallels, VMware Fusion, CrossOver Mac, or VirtualBox, seek help from its support site.
kmburr wrote:... The built in iSight camera is not working....
If the problem continues after turning Mac off for a minute or two and restarting in Mac OS X with no external devices connected, see Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight.
Be sure to test more than one Apple camera app in more than one user account.
kmburr wrote:... The dvd player will not visual to tv or projector....
I do not understand this sentence. We can try to help with this after you get your other problems corrected. However, to minimize confusion among problems right now, I suggest you not respond to this unless you can explain how it is related to your other issues.

I want to know if I can backup my Ipad to an external harddrive. I have a pc with xp pro media edition and a partitioned hard drive with very little space on C and lots on D. I am trying to update my Ipad to 5.1.1 and it says it needs 12 gb to backup.

I have a Sony Vaio desktop PC with a partitioned hard drive, running Windows XP Pro. There is 13 gb on C drive with the OS, and 140 gb left on D drive. I am trying to update my Original Ipad from 4.3.4 to 5.1.1 and because C drive is full ( I have moved everything that can be moved to D drive) mostly from Microsoft updates over the years, I am unable to do the backup Itunes is telling me I have to do to update or lose all media on this iPad. 12.67 gb is required to do the backup and I have a whopping 965.2 MB. I can not get the cloud to use as backup as it requires 5.0 or better. Does anyone know if I can back up to D drive, and if so how? Also, I have a 1 terrabyte WD mini external hard drive I just got as a gift...could I do the backup to it and, again, if so, how? Please explain from start to finish, as my brain is now fried from, first from finally getting Itunes updated to 10.6 ,and now trying to do this update. Thanks to anyone for their help!!

Can I back up a bootable partition from an APM drive to a GUID-partitioned hard drive for storage, later to be able to clone restore the backup back to an APM and have it be bootable on a PowerPC?

Tongue twister of a question, huh?
I am creating a APM-partitioned hard drive for use with a PowerPC iMac G5, so I can have a fresh OS install on one as a reference, and the other be my usable OS. Now, I also want to back both of these partitions up on a storage hard drive that I also want to contain partitions that are bootable on an Intel mac (GUID). My question is, can I clone my APM partitions as backup to designated partitions on my GUID backup/storage hard drive (which I plan on being able to boot other partions on an Intel Mac), and have the option of later cloning the same APM partitions back to an APM-paritioned hard drive and have them still be bootable on a Power PC? I know I won't be able to boot a Power PC from off of the GUID-paritioned drive, but I want to be able to restore my APM-partitioned drive incase things go sour with it.
Thanks so much for your time, guys!

Block-level copier that copies not just the files but the filesystem structure as well. But files can be moved from GUID to APM partitioned devices without any effect on the file. The partition scheme affects whether an installed system will boot a particular type of hardware.
If you installed OS X on a GUID partitioned drive you would not be able to boot a PPC Mac.
And, you're most welcome.

One of the partitioned hard drive failed

Hi,
One of the partitioned hard drive has crashed/damaged in my MacBook Pro. And it happened to be main OS X installed drive. But fortunately I have backup in my Time Capsule. So, I am not that much worried about my datas.
However, now I am wondering is it possible to use that portion of the hard drive again? By erasing the partition and re-partition it? Since other partition is working fine. So, any one who has better idea about hard drive, any advice/solution would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dikesh

dieskshjoshi,
that depends upon the nature of the crash/damage to your hard drive.
If it was a physical crash, then the problem could be either on the disk itself or on the disk heads. If the disk was damaged, then you should not use that portion of the disk again, unless you’re not concerned about subsequent loss in that portion of the disk. If the disk heads were damaged, then it will only be a matter of time before your other partitions will be damaged, and you should replace the hard drive with another one.
If it was a “virtual” crash, such as a filesystem becoming corrupted, then you could erase that partition, reformat it, and restore its contents from your backup.

Can i partition hard drive and run 10.6 on one and 10.4 on other

I have software that only runs under 10.4 on my older Imac. I would like to partition hard drive and run 10.6 on one and 10.4 on the other. Is this possible? Can I get instructions?

Yes.
Just set up the partitions. If you already have a 10.4.x and 10.6.x drives then "clone" them up as bootable backups with a backup utility like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.
When booting you can hold down the option key to get a list of bootable volumes (select with arrow keys and hit return). You can use Startup Disk for either of them to define the default system to boot from if you don't use the option key technique.
If you don't already have these systems then of course you will have to install them in their respective partitions.
You have to realize of course that these are two distinct systems each with their own version of your login directory.

Unable to partition hard drive

Unsure if this is a macbook pro or a leopard subject or even something else...
but i have a 230gb usb hdd which i have been using for approx. a year now. I wanted to move all the data off and use it just for time machine and other synced backups.
I moved the data off and went to erase the drive... but, the disk utility just hanged when going through the partitioning/erase. The status bar just stopped as if it wasn't even able to start, and the mouse icon stayed on the spinning wheel. After an hour i had to force quit Disk Utility.
Once i restarted and played around a bit more i just could not access or format the drive.
I even tried using terminal's command to partition the drive, but again it stuck on 0%.
If the drive has totally gone, then fine, but i would love to know what has happened and if i can do something to se how usable the drive is.
PS i dont have access to any other machine and just upgraded to leopard.
Thanks.

Might this because the format of the hard drive is Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted)? Is the encryption playing a part in not allowing me to partitioning my hard drive?
That's correct.
If you open Disk Utility, click on the encrypted partition and look towards the bottom left and check for Format: Encrypted Logical Partition. If you see this, you have a CoreStorage volume or Logical Volume Group which is usually created during the encrypting process. If you want to have multiple partitions on your external drive without encrypting ALL of them, you can decrypt your external drive which should get you back to square one so you can partition it the way you want. Then, if you want to, just encrypt the partition(s) you want and leave the others alone.

Problems backing up I-tunes library to external hard drive.

Help - I'm having problems backing up I-tunes library to external hard drive. The drive appears on the desktop but when I try to drag in my i-tunes music folder I just get the circle with a line through it symbol. I can drag items from my mac to a different 4 gig memory stick with no problems. I put some music onto the hard drive from a windows p.c. and that dragged into my i-tunes fine. Any help would be much appreciated.

i'm guessing the external HD is NTFS formatted, which your Mac cannot write to (read only).
you will either have to reformat it (FAT32 or, better yet, for Mac) or install the _*NTFS 3G*_ driver.
