Bootcamp does not have enough space on the USB drive.

Hello everyone,

I am trying to install Windows 7 on my Macbook pro mid-2012 running on El Capitan.
I want to do with a USB key, I bought a 16 GB nine one. Try to create the USB bootable with Bootcamp, I get the error that the USB device is too small. I don't know why that it is 16 GB.

Then I tried to format using disk utility, but I get an error.

I tried to use the command line to do with diskutil, always get an error: impossible to disassemble the drive.

Using diskutil I can see the USB key:

#: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 15.5 disk1

1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1

2: Apple_HFS Untitled 15.2 GB disk1s2

I tried to erase the part EFI using gdisk, everything is ok in gdisk, I can just erase and write to the disk. But the problem is that when I unplug and re-plug the USB nothing has changed...

Try to use under Windows (via VirtualBox) I see only a 200 Mb USB Drive.

I don't really understand everything first:

-Why bootcamp with the new USB has not been able to make a USB bootable for windows.
Second:

-Why can't I erase this USB key.

Thanks for reading. I hope you can help me or tell me at least!

You must delete and format the USB stick in the form of FAT. What is a USB2 flash drive? A GPT with a FAT partition will not work.

Please see Re: Please format the USB key as a single partition FAT.? on how to do to erase/format the USB.

  • I started the download of el capitan and did not have enough space for the upgrade - I released space, but now the upgrade is blocked for download

    I'm on 10.10.5 and try to upgrade to el capitan via the App Store.  I don't have enough space at the beginning and upgrade wouldn't start - I got error message says not enough disk space.  Once I released space, download hangs and will not end.  I have restarted the download several times and have rebooted as well.

    Hello

    Take a look in your Applications folder to install Mac OS X El Capitan.app. If you find move him to the trash, then empty/remove it. Another thing you could try is to go to Launchpad and look an article with the 'X' Mac OS X logo on it,

    Click and hold on it until it wiggles, and then click the little 'x' and then delete.

    Restart the Mac, relaunch the App Store and see if you can download now El Capitan.

    Another thing you can do, when the download is complete and what is important before you begin the installation process, do a copy to install Mac OS X El Capitan.app and keep them safe, to an external drive or USB key, the original in the Application folder item is deleted once the installation is complete. It is snack and practice have this spare copy so that you can install on other Macs if you want you will need to re - install the system should anything go wrong in the future.

    And always, always make a backup before making major changes to your system.

  • I have enough space on the flash drive backup but message says no space.

    Original title: complete PC Backup

    I have Windows XP on my computer and try again to back up my computer before a move.  I have two 2 64 GB San disk flash disks that should accommodate more than what I have on my computer.  However, I get the message that one of flash drives is not enough, so I inserted the following - which is not big enough.  Positively, I don't have that much on my computer to consume up to 128 GB of backup space.  Do I need to use a different backup program other than that of the control panel?  Is there another one that is good, useful, fast?  Help!

    If you are using in relying on the built in NT backup to back up your system, it is the primitive technology (obviously - since you will be asked for a floppy disk when it is done).  If you have a disaster (even minor), you'll have a big problem trying to retrieve your orders if you do not have a floppy drive - and maybe even if you do not have a floppy drive you are most likely still a big problem if you need to restore your stuff.

    If you want to make a backup, an image, or a sort of clone of your system, it makes sense to use modern technology - and that the technology is not integrated into XP.

    There are many popular options for XP Backup and imaging software (s) of third parties.

    A people a popular seem to like is Acronis.

    With this (free 30 day trial) you backup, you can make a bootable CD or bootable USB (which is modern, huh?) and use than disaster.

    They used to have a completely free version - maybe no more - just the 30 day trial, and then you have to buy, but it is highly respected.

    It is so much more robust than the XP Backup, it's laughable.

    There are many other options if you do a little research on Google...

    Here are a few products that other users of the forum could be appealing.  Use Google to find and read about their features and capabilities.  Some have free versions, or you can buy to get more features:

    If you have a Western Digital drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD:

    http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?Swid=119

    Or you can get the backup software and cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

    Acronis True Image Home
    EASEUS ToDo Backup free
    Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
    Casper
    Norton Ghost

    Some disk cloning software for you to Google ideas:

    XXClone
    Marcium account
    DriveImageXML
    Acronis True Image Home 11
    EASEUS ToDo Backup
    Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
    Casper
    Norton Ghost

    No matter what method you choose, it is prudent to test your method of end to end to make sure that it works.

    You can create a temporary folder somewhere on your system and copy a bunch of files, perform your backup, and then delete the temporary folder and don't forget that you can retrieve your backup.

    The day you have your backup/restore process to work is not the day, namely that it does not work.

  • Can we use Office default memory offline if the customer does not have enough free memory?

    Can we use Office default memory offline if the customer does not have enough free memory?

    Yes. We can use the parameter offlineDesktopDefaultMemoryScaleupValue jointly with the offlineDesktopReportedHostMemoryValue parameter in the registry.

    For example, if your client system has 2 GB of memory and the desktop view is configured to require 2 GB of memory, you won't be able to check the desktop view because low memory is also necessary for visualization of hosted customer.

    Use the parameter DesktopReportedHostMemoryValue = 2048 registry offline, so that you can go to the desktop and use the registry parameter offlineDesktopDefaultMemoryScaleupValue = 1024.

    so that the desktop view uses only 1 GB of memory when run locally.

    Reg patch: HKCU\Software\VMware, Inc. \VMware VDM\Client\disableOfflineDesktopMemoryScaleup

    Note: If it's a small environment you can do manual. Or we can simplify this activity by creating a group policy.

  • "Clips do not have enough media for the transition?

    I have two clips between which I want to insert a cross fade.  The first clip is 19 seconds long, the second is 16 seconds.

    When I try to put in the transition (I did two seconds of time), I get a message saying "Clips do not have enough media for the transition."  He will accept no transition more than 0.1 seconds.

    It makes no sense to me.  There are a lot of media for the transition time.  Can someone find out who's the problem and a possible solution?  Thank you.

    If it's important, the first clip is a mp4 video, and the second is a jpg photo.

  • BIOS update failed: the process does not have this system. The process of the utility is not complete.

    I have a Thinkpad T450s and I'm trying to update the BIOS version 1.19 to 1.20. I've created a live usb with the 'el tortio' - image extracted using linux "dd". Once I boot on the USB under Legacy-BIOS and select upgrade, it proceeds witht the error message "the process does not have this system. The process has been cancelled. "I have disabled the protection against theft, AMT (I think this is the option) and I'm sure that I use the correct .iso file from the downloads section. I don't have a Windows operating system installed, but I'm able to start in various linux distributions using Legacy and UEFI methods.

    Here is my BIOS information.

    What could you suggest to get the update disc to recognize my system?

    I think I've fixed the problem, I formatted FAT16 USB drive and not in FAT32 and also when you use the geteltorito command, it is preferable to use the-o option rather than a redirection ">"syntax. " An article said that it is best to drop in a DOS command line using the USB boot, then run dosflash.exe from there, however, I could not edit the .bat file, but it is an option however.

    I hope this helps someone stuck in a similar situation.

  • Why Motorola does not have hands-free in the bike box?

    Why Motorola does not have hands-free box?

    I have all kinds of helmets that work very well.

    As to why the bike not turned in the box - I would say that most people do not use them. You may disagree, and perhaps it is regional. But looking around the United States and the European Union, most of the people with cell phones do not use wired headphones. And the few people I know that do, tend to buy a different brand of what is in the box.

    In the United States, you can get them in many stores for less then $10 for Motorola is saving most of us who do not use wired headphones. I have a set that runs in my backpack as a backup, but I always forget it's there and use the phone without it.

  • Satellite L300D - TEMPRO said that I have no space on the HARD drive

    Hello

    I'm new to the site... I got a L300D for three months and no problem but in the last two weeks, I had TEMPRO warns my readers have free space that disappears quickly.

    In fact at this moment I have a total of * 800Mbs * when in fact I more than * 90Gbs * and I even used a shedder file to clean up more space.
    Is there a way to get TEMPRO on track or is this a normal problem, unsolveable.

    Hey Buddy

    TEMPRO is a tool that scans the entire HARD drive
    I guess you have different partitions on the HARD drive and I guess Tempro tells you that the free space among available partitions_ _on breaks down

    Well, I'm not quite sure what partition is a sense but perhaps hidden partition Vista first, s (WinRE).
    You should know that Vista uses a hidden backup files partition, this partition can be used if something goes wrong with the operating system

    I think Tempro means that partition

  • iPhone 5s does not have black screen, but the phone is still on

    So I have a very strange problem that I couldn't really get on Google.

    My iPhone doesn't come 5, after going to sleep, using the power button (my home button does not work). It will randomly start being sensitive, sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes after a few hours.

    By trial and error, I realized that cool the phone seemed to work fairly regularly (but not 100%), but now this method no longer works.

    I'm sure that the phone is still because when I call, he goes not to the "the number you have called is not available at this time" response, it sounds just normally, but the phone does nothing.

    However, connecting to a PC is the PC not recognizing anything plugged and that the phone itself does not seem to charge.

    When he "wakes" it is as if I just plugged it and shows me the lock screen and everything is normal.

    Thanks in advance for your time

    By reading your post I was stuck on hardware failure, perhaps the LCD screen or logic board and then you wrote this. Please you elaberate on what you mean by "it is as if I just hooked it up". Actually connect? Does it make the chimes as you he plugged in even if you don't have?
