What partition should be chosen for windows?

I am installing Windows 8.1 with Bootcamp. The installation shows 4 partition´s which one should i choose for windows?
The partitions is as follows:
drive 0 partition 1: EFI (200 mb) system
drive 0 partition 2 --- (178,9 GB) primary
drive 0 partition 3 --- (619 mb) primary
drive 0 partition 4: Bootcamp (186,6 GB) primary
I was thinking I need to choose the Bootcamp partition, for the windows installation and then change format it?
Best regards
Lars

It is a FAT32 partition and you will need to format it via the Windows installer to NTFS.
Please see Page 6 in http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf.

How large of a partition should I do for Windows XP

I am mainly using it for light gaming, the partition means how much of the hard drive is used for windows and windows-based programs/games it can use, right? What does Windows alone need, and what would you suggest? I have about 100GB total disk space left on my macbook.

Hi Desidarius;
Since your question is primarily about Boot Camp and Windows and not Leopard, you will probably have greater success if you post over in the Boot Camp.

To install Windows 8 OS on a new iMac using Boot Camp, what size "partition" should I allocate for Windows on a system with 3TB Fusion drive?

I am trying to install Windows on a new iMac w/3TB Fusion drive. The system crashed on my first attempt but appears to have partitioned the drive correctly before crashing??? So, what size partition does Windows 8 need to operate effectively? Is "more" better??? or just over-kill? And, has anyone installed Winodow 8 on an iMac...and how did it work? Would apps like "Parallel Desktop" or "VM Ware Fusion" be a good idea and troubleless?
I will try again but not too confident that it may get worse before it gets better.
Regards....?
P.S. I configured this iMac with the i7 processor 3.5GHz with Turbo Boost to 3,9GHz. When I select "About this Mac" it diplays my i7 processor as a 3.4GHz instead. Do you think they ran out of the i7 3.5GHz and shoved a i5 3.4Ghz in the iMac to meet deliver schedule??? I there a way to check the real-time speed of my processor??.

It depends on your uses. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321 Windows 8 works properly in Boot Camp, always that your iMac is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US You can only use the 64-bit Windows 8 edition.
Respecting to your processor, you may want to contact with Apple, as they may have sent you the iMac with a wrong processor

How much space should I allocate for Windows?

I have decided to install Windows 7 onto my computer. My only use for the Windows partition would be for gaming, e.g. Battlefield , some 007 games, Wings of Prey, etc......
Otherwise, I don't think I will use Windows for much else.
I may use an External hard rive, but having some of the games on the internal hardrive could be helpful.
I'm Downloading a copy of Windows 7, 64-bit.
Thank you for your time

You should make the Windows partition at least 50GB for Windows. I don't know what programs or what data you will have. So add enough space for your programs, updates, patches, and data to 50GB and you will be safe. I have 200GB but 120GB may be enough for you.

How big of a partition do I need for windows Xp?

How Big of a partition do I need for Windows XP? And to be able to run visual Basics program?

Nobody can answer that question with any certainty because we don't know your computing needs and what specific apps you're going to isntall.
Regardless, this forum is for the troubleshooting the installation of OS X, not Boot Camp, and you'll probably want to post your question over in the Boot Camp forums:

If i install microsoft office after partitioning my hard drive for windows, will it be available on both sides of the partition?

If i install microsoft office after partitioning my hard drive for windows, will it be available on both sides of the partition? Will it be universal for the computer or would i have to install it on both operating systems? Or, if I install office BEFORE partitioning, will it be available on both platforms after i partition?

If I understand your questions correctly, then I'm inclined to say no. Office for Windows and Office for Mac are two completely different applications. if you run via BootCamp, only one partition will boot.
If you want to run Mac and Windows at the same time, you could do what I did:
Get Parallels
Install Windows as VM on top of Parallels
Install Office in Windows
Now, you can run your OS X, jump into Parallels' WIndows and use Office that way.
It needs a lot of RAM, 4 is a bare minimum to realy make it sensible, 8 wouldn't hurt.

What is posted availability specification for Windows server 2012? 2012R2?

I am trying to put together a high availability solution and I want to know what the availability 'claim' of the individual components would be. What is the availability specification for Windows server 2012 and Windows Server 2012R2?(for example 99.9%
availability for the O/S itself). This would be in a non clustered or Load Balanced state. Just a single server running the O/S.

Hi,
SLA requirements determine how components such as storage, clustering, and backup and recovery factor into your organization.The term high availability is meaningless until you define how to measure it. IT shops measure high availability as the percentage of
time that systems are available, but the provider and consumer of high-availability services must agree on what constitutes availability and how the time is measured.

What's up with iTunes for Windows 7 64 bit? Makes my PC run like a 286 on Windows 3.11.

What's up with iTunes for Windows 7 64 bit? So slow and draggy. Makes my high end PC with multi-core processor and video card run like a 286. Even did this after doing a fresh install of the operating system with the latest version of iTunes.
No other software does this on my machine. There has to be some crazy issue causing this.

Try this,
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

What setting should I use for Abbey Road drums? Getting a cpu overload issue

What setting should I use for Abbey Road drums (i.e. multi-output, stereo, etc)? Getting a cpu overload issue. I have a macbook pro, 4 gb ram, running Logic Pro 9. Just 3 tracks of drums and a few real instrument tracks. Can't find a guide in the manual for either Kontakt or Logic. Thanks in advance!

Hi
AR drums are complete resource (CPU) hogs. They work better if you turn off as many of the AR internal plugins as you can.
See section 4 (?) of the AR manual, which you can find within Kontakt (In the library area of Kontakt click hold the small "i" on the right of the "AR drummer" Library).
Alternatively, your only solution is to increase the I/O buffer in Preferences:Audio, with the associated increase in latency

What method should be used for resizing the particular JTable Column width

I have a four table. Only one table which are on top have a table header. I want that when user resize the topmost table with a mouse other table colume also be resized automatically. So I want to know that what method should be used for resizing the particular JTable Column width.
Thanks
Lalit

maybe you can implement a interface ComponentListener as well as ComponentAdapter with your topmost Table.
for example:
toptable.addComponentListener(
new ComponentAdapter(){
public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e){
table1.setSize(....);
table2.setSize(....);
/*Optionally, you must also call function revalidate
anywhere;*/
);

I can't get Safari to load period. It quits immediately. According to the troubleshooting, I'm to un-install any third party plug ins. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for? I don't recall installing anything that wasn't an upgrade.

Unplug your iBook from the AC power, shut it down and take the main battery out for about fifteen minutes. Then you can put the battery back in, plug the power back in and restart. This should reset the USB and FireWire ports.
If that doesn't help, you could reset the Power Management Unit. Follow the instructions in Knowledge Base Article #14449 for resetting your PMU.
You probably should also startup from your Mac OS X install disk and run the Disk Utility to "repair disk" on your hard drive. This will determine if you've got some kind of file directory/software problems with the files on your hard drive.

What t_code should be used for migration?

Hello there,
our user wants to migrate "output vat" account after being audited.
actually , they start using SAP from 1st. January.2009 but now needs to migrate for reconciliation purpose.
Journal should be 40) output VAT / 50) Beginning Balance-BS.
Since this output VAT does not need any tax code and base amount, i think normal FI transaction like F-02 is not an answer.
Furthermore, LSMW is not strongly recommended at this time, considering line item to be created.
Could you let me know what t_code should be used for this case?
BR.

Hi
Note down the G/L accounts you are posting.
Option 1 :In OBD4 see the account group. change the tax category mandatory to optional field for running the lsmw. afte completion, set the status as earlier.
Option 2: goto fs00-> see the field status group.-> double click on the FSG-> see the taxes -> make the fields optional.
