Why is the hard disk split into two data partitions (C:Vista and E:Data)?

I've just switched on a new A200-1V0 and found that the disk space is split into two equal sized partitions "C:Vista" and "E:Data" (and a small EISA one).
WHY? What is the logic and purpose? It's not even as if the the C:Vista partition is smaller and intended solely for "system" stuff as the the "Users" (User Documents) root is on it too.
Is this the default for Vista (my first use of it), if not, who said Toshiba could do this without asking me?
How do I move the "Users" root in Vista (to the Data partition) - if I've got two partitions I might as well use it?
Can I resize partitions in Vista without a 3rd-party utility (or a complete backup/restore)?
Thanks

Hello Just YOU
Please do not be upset because there is no reason for that. You have bought new product with factory settings. Toshiba and any other hardware manufacturer do not know each customer personally and, unfortunately, it was not possible to ask YOU how to configure YOUR notebook.
Because of that there is Product Recovery media that allows you to configure HDD according to your wishes and needs.
Please use this DVD and install OS how you want to have it. When recovery procedure starts you will see SETUP option on the right side. Click on it and choose the right option.
Install OS again and enjoy your life. I really do not have time to write about vantages of two partitions because it is basic stuff and you probably do not want to loose your time reading this.
Bye and good luck!

Why is the ipod icon split in two parts

I'm used to the the music and videos being together with the ipod app and now after updating my phone the ipod app is split. Why is tit hat way?

You're right, it has been that way for a long time. I've never bothered reporting it as a bug since it's simple enough to deal with, but reporting it would be a reasonable thing to do.

ORDERS Idoc splitting into two

Hi,
   I have requiremnt where i need to Split Orders idoc into messages.
   1. Orders XML file 2.XML file only with control record fields.
i have seen all the discssion on this and deceiced to implement the scenario as per
/people/jin.shin/blog/2006/02/07/multi-mapping-without-bpm--yes-it146s-possible   blog. But the problem is need to use two message types on the target side.. for splitting the message..
ORDERS and Contrlo record Fields message type... i can't change the standard idoc..
Can i add the Control record fields to Standard IDOC in any way....   like exporting file...if so..
tell me whether the Idoc will split into two messaged or not....
Regards,
Deep

My doubt is in the mentioned blog target msg type was created one.. here i need to take with ORDERS idoc(ED in our case). I need to split the IDOC everytime when it triggers based on RCVPRN field value.. this value is always so there should be 2 values everytime.
you will need to duplicate the IDOC at the target side to achieve this...if you are successful in doing the 0...unbounded thing for your IDOC....
1) Duplicating:
Duplicating is not Multimapping.....Multimapping is what you saw in the blog and duplicating is right-clicking on the node and choosing Duplicate Subtree....no two messages will be created in this process (duplicating).....
2) Multimapping:
it is used to create two (or more) different messages at the target end...
Does it split into two message ( ORDERS XML and Control Record XML)
No it wont split the IDOC into two messages.....
So if your requirement is to have only one target message with seperate IDOC nodes..having ORDERS and Control data individually...then go for duplication method...apply the condition for RCVPRN to generate the nodes...
If your req is to have two different messages at the target then use multimapping apply the condition for RCVPRN to generate the two different messages.....
Hope it helps...

Abhishek.

Selected "Edit in Audition," audio track was split into two files. Preference change?[image included]

I have no idea what kind of shortcut key or preference I changed.
When I select any video on any premiere timeline to "edit in audition" i end up with the audio getting split into two wav files instead of one, as the red rectangular shows. Instead of the single audio track to edit in which you can see in the blue rectangular.
***The blue rectangular I got when I dropped a video directly into audition.
Update: did some testing around in premiere, this issue only happens with clips that are on a timeline, but if I "edit in audition" from "project" (main folder with all material), I can edit it properly.

Its one file with two different dispalys.
You can pull the bottom one down by dragging it down or hit the very little triangle on the right side.

The Hard Disk Name is shaded red

Why is the Hard Disk Name is shadded red???? Its kind of slowing my mac down, can anyone tell me whats wrong?

If you're talking about the name of the hard drive on your finder (or desktop) being shaded in red, this can be changed by right clicking on the hard drive icon and selecting the colour label to "X" (none). There is no reason why this would be slowing your computer down whatsoever unless i have misunderstood your problem.
Hope this has helped

Why does the keyboard on my iPad split into two sides

Why does the keyboard on my iPad split into two sides?

To elaborate a little more Nick, that is a feature designed to make it easier to type when holding the iPad with both hands.
If you tap the icon in the lower right of the keyboard, you will see the option to Merge the keyboard back together. If you hold the icon and drag your finger up and down, you will move the keyboard.
Hope that helps!

The Same Album is Split Into Two On My iPod

Okay this may be hard to explain but here it goes...
I bought a CD, and imported it onto my iTunes library. No big deal. It imported fine. Then I tried importing it onto my 4th Generation iPod Touch (32GB). The album has 10 tracks, and it was split into two on my iPod. One album has all tracks 1-10, while the other has tracks 2-10. But when I search up the song on my iPod (on the songs list), it only comes up as one. I tried deleted the album that has tracks 2-10, but when I do, the tracks 2-10 on the other album get deleted, so I'm only left with Track 1.
This is starting to get really confusing for me and I don't know what to do. In my iTunes library it comes up as one album, on iTunes when I look at my songs list it comes up as one album, and even on my actual iPod on the songs list, there's only 1 version of each song, but on the albums list, there's 2 versions of the same album.
Please help! Thanks so much !!

In iTunes on your computer right click on the songs and select Get Info and look at the sorting. From iTunes Help
Tips for using song and CD info to organize your music
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking Details and selecting the checkbox next to “Album is a compilation of songs by various artists”.
Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
Create your own genre category by clicking Details and typing the category in the Genre field.
Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track fields.
Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.

In the itunes library, a single album appears to be split into two separate parts, how do i combine them?

my itunes library has several albums that are split into two parts. one contains half of the album's songs and the other the other half. how do i combine these so the album only appears once in it's entirety?

Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things.

The hard disk can not be split because some files can not be moved

Prerequisites: Computer has had a partition installed in bootcamp with a non-complete Windows XP installation
Started by uninstalling the old windows and restore the partition.
Got error on disk so it was cooked by the Lions recovery and was OK
Trying to re-install Windows, but get the same problems that
"The hard disk can not be split because some files can not be moved"

Problem solved by reducing the size of the windows partition to 40GB (from 50GB).
I had a quit full disk so perhaps that influenced, not i have about 43GB left for mac and 40GB for windows

I cannot drag folders onto my 1 tb hard-disk. Do you know why? I can transfer things to my computer but I cannot drag them from my computer to the hard-disk..

You can reformat the drive but that will wipe all the data on it. Move everything to your Mac. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility. If you need both Mac and Windows access, I suggest ExFAT. Then move it all back

Replacing the hard disk on an iBook G3 (700 Dual USB)

Hi
I'm kind of regarded as the guy to go and see when anything goes wrong with a Mac, here in Athens, Greece. But I have very little hardware experience with laptops. A friend of mine just brought me her iBook G3 (700 Dual USB), running Panther 10.3.9 to check out. She was getting the initial start up screen (grey Apple, spinning wheel) and once in every ten times or more actually getting into her hard disk. Anyway after a bunch of tests I narrowed the problem down to the hard disk (40 gig, I think). The disc is basically presenting all the symptoms of a damaged disc. I can not even wipe and reinstall on it. When I start up from the Panther system CD, it runs normally, up to the point where I tell it to install, it goes to the next screen where you choose your destination disc, and shows, nothing! Disk Utility on the install disc sees the hard disk and identifies it as an IBM, but the single partition with Panther installed is greyed out. I tells me that the disk can't be wiped because of an ERROR -20. I also tried mounting it on my G4 as a firewire external, and in fact managed to rescue the data, (though it took an hour to transfer 250 kb of data). I even tried to wipe it in my own machine as an external disc, but again the same problem. Strangely enough Disk Utility says the disc does not need repair.
Anyway, I decided to change the disk and be done with it. But as I say I have very little hardware experience with laptops, and the Apple support pages don't have any documents that show the internal workings of the iBook, except for how to change memory and install Airport cards. Aside from the fact that I still have to figure out where to find a new disc for the machine, I don't really want to open it up until I can check some instructions.
Can anyone give me a clue how you get inside these machines? I have a Powerbook G4 manual which does shows how to open it up and change the HD, but I'm not sure how similar these two models are internally.
So I'd appreciate any clue as to the procedure for opening these babies up. Thanks in advance.

It's not an easy thing to do. Arm yourself with a tiny screwdriver and loads of patience:

How do I remove the Hard disk from computer? I have an old iMac, model M5521 circa 2000. I need to wipe the disk clean to DOD specs before donating it.

I have an iMac Model M5521, circa 2000, which I must wipe the hard drive clean to DOD specs before donating it.
I have the DOD software on another non-apple computer. I need to remove the hard disk drive from the iMac to do this.
How do I get to the hard drive? I find only two screws on the back of the monitor/case and they do not help. What am I missing?
Thanks

It's not too hard but you have to take off the bottom cover of the case. These instructions shoudl show what yo uneed to do.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/103447/iMac-G3-Disassembly-Guide
I pulled the original 10G hard drive from our M5521 and replaced it with a larger one. The whole thing took under 45 minutes, including the 15 minutes it took me to recover a screw that fell into the works.

When i import movies from my iPhoto app to my iMovie app does it make a copy (thereby using double the hard disk space) or does it link to my iPhoto app? The reason i ask is i want to archive all my videos from iPhoto/iMovie. HELP!

Hi - I'm having the same problem with freeing up space on the HD. If I can't free space if I'm using any part of the clip, how can I split up the clips so that I can discard the part I won't use? This is crazy! I have only 4 GB of free space left!
Also, I've tried to transfer the project file to my external HD but I keep getting an error saying I can't transfer it. I've been told this is because I don't have enough space on the HD for the transfer. I tried a similar transfer with another computer with plenty of HD space but the same error occurred. Is there a way to break up the project file into small pieces for the transfer (I'm thinking the whole movie file is just too big)?
Thanks for any info!
