• Problem with the conversion of Partition Boot Camp

  I would have just dl and installed the trial version of 3.0.  After running and by selecting the boot camp for the boot partition, merge began to 'prepare' the partition for use.  After about 45 minutes, the process had not been completed.  I grew up the activity monitor and found that the process did nothing.  I closed the process, thinking I could start over again at the launch of Fusion.  Wrong, merger saw the partition boot camp into a virtual machine that could not be started.

  Is there a possible way to start the process of 'preparation '?  It is apparently the only way to correct the problem.

  Tried from a support ticket, but could not do while I wasn't a registered owner.

  I'm trying to make my choice between Parallels and Fusion, or just stick with BootCamp.  I hope someone can help me with this problem.

  Harry

  Dear Harry,

  I did the same thing yesterday. My BootCamp partition has Windows XP (SP3) and I also have Parallels. I'm now trying to decide if I stay with Parallels or Fusion 3 (to take a possible advantage over the 64-bit @ Snow Leopard).

  My upgrade was fine, it took about 15 minutes to get BootCamp running on the merger. A small step has been to re - activate my XP with Microsoft license, because the "material" changes. I have the MACBOOK PRO 13 '' 2.53 with 4 GB of RAM. I don't really have time to play yesterday, but between Parallels and Fusion 3, (64-bit), I did not see too much improvement on the 'speed '.

  An advantage of having any of virtualization software, is that you can have multiple operating systems running, such as XP, Windows7, etc. I need that because my work, the developer. If you can stay only with an operating system, I guess, BootCamp works very well.

  Kind regards

• After the migration of ESXi 4.1 to 5.0 Update 1, ESXi containing the missing data store

  I intend to upgrade to an ESXi 4.1 production host, but I want to run through an upgrade of test on a separate machine. I created this using a virtual machine and the upgrade went well. However, now when I insert my vSphere client, I don't see the data store that contains data to my VM.

  Before migrating to 5, I had 2 drives, a disk of 4 GB for ESXi, and a 40 GB drive for the data of the VM installation. I could see and access times stores via the 4.1 vSphere client, but once the upgrade only the VM data store is available. Is there a reason that this is the case?

  I've updated but has not changed the partitions of data store. I have selected to migrate and keep the VMFS store, which was VMFS-3. I also tried to add the store drive 4 GB with the customer data, but an error message: "the selected disk already has a vmfs data store or the host cannot perform a conversion of partition table.
  Select another disk.

  I found this article on error message: http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2000454 , but I never actually removed from the data store. With the help of the 5.0 ESXi update I can see the VMFS store on 4 GB drive, which should have about 3.2 GB of available disk space (the rest being used by the hypervisor).

  Recommended someone else try esxconfig-volume - the list, and then use the output to a mount (http://communities.vmware.com/message/1666168#1666168), but the list command had no output at all.

  I searched through the forums and Google but you saw nothing.

  ESXi 5 has a different architecture, and I think that the problem is the size of the disk (too small) and the partition of scratch required.

  Have a look here:

• Converter to keep the primary Partitions after conversion.

  Hi all

  So we just started to use the converter for P2V, its an impressive tool. I noticed that his change of level primary logical partitions to drives. Not a huge problem, but if I add space on the logical drive he immediately wants to convert it to a dynamic disk. Dynamic disks is something of normally, we don't use in our environment. I ran through by converter some times, is there something I'm missing? We took the latest version - I would add that this server physical I have set up to test the converter in our laboratory.

  

  Before the conversion on the physical server.

  

  After conversion on VM.

  

  Thank you

  Javier

  Hi Javier,

  Unfortunately, it is a long-standing problem in the converter, but it has never been highly prioritized in order to process and fixed. I guess the assumption was that "it doesn't hurt" to have logical partitions. This is the first time I've heard that there are real problems - additional free space at the end cannot be used unless that switching to dynamic disks. We must need to revisit this bug again and hiérarchisera as it accordingly.

  As a solution, I would say you can resize volumes as part of the conversion process - you can add free space on each volume in the conversion wizard and would not need additional resizing after that. I know that's not a real problem, but it might be enough for your case.

  Kind regards

• Conversion table of Partition Non-Partition and vice versa

  Hello
  
  I followed the method of Partition to Partition and vice versa conversion table below. Please suggest is here
  any other altrnative methods available to accomplish the same thing.
  
  Conversion table of partition table partitions. Export data, drop the table, create the table with partitions and
  import data into the same table, now, the data is organized with Partitions.
  
  Conversion table of partition table non-partition. Export data, drop the table, create the table without partitions and

• OKR preserved with the implementation form/partition conversion?

  I am a new owner of an Ideapad S12 - as well as new to this forum, so I apologize if I didn't search well enough, but I could not find explicit answers to what I'm wondering.

  I understand that OneKey Recovery will continue to work as long as the disk partition HARD sizes remain unchanged. But let's OKR also continue working if I format and/or to change the file system, but leave the partitions and partition sizes unchanged? Specifically, I want to maintain the Restore Factory Default option when you press the OKR when arrested.

  Here are the current provision of the HARD drive:

  • Primary partition (C:, FAT32)
  • Extended partition (logical drive D:, NTFS)
  • (Inaccessible from Windows, NTFS) recovery partition

  I am considering the following actions:

  • convert C: from FAT32 to NTFS by using the command line in Windows
  • do a clean install of Windows, C: to NTFS formatting, leaving only the D:
  • do a clean installation of Windows, try to convert an extended in a primary partition partition D:

  I read on the people who make the first action without any problem, but OKR still work? I also have never worked with extended partitions, so I don't even know if the second and third actions are possible, a fortiori if they preserve OKR.

  I was quite surprised that the HARD disk has been partitioned so archaically, with FAT32 and extended partitions. I hope someone can tell me how can I go with formatting without losing the ability to restore my default HARD drive!

  Hello

  There is a big NO...

  Sentence: Small things could change the world... full up here

  ... But a full backup is always the best solution... When you invest a couple of hours after the backup

  You can do what you want... fresh install XP Home or Prof.... or Multiboot... Windows 7... Vista... SnowLeo... anything...

  but when you want to change something on the hard disk before the backup, you are alone in the dark .

  No one could help you easily or, in the case of bad tie...! Its your own risk!

  I prefer once again...

  Without costs high, why not use it... But needs a key-USB-DVD!

  EASEUS to do the backup will do likewise.

  the difference is, you need a CD player to start the rescue media program

  & minimum a 8 GB USB stick / HARD drive for the backupfile... & more time... but it's free...

  cordially KalvinKlein

  If you want to see what can happen Ive wrote a small article in German map S-series, translated by google

  Press F11 for lack of operating system

  Original article in German language, if you can read German

  Not translated Press F11 for lack of operating system

  In short repeat... it's S10e doesn't come with OKR but always symptom even on all S-Series...

  That's what you get after partitioning or re-formatting change

  First look seems OK...

  To start on the rescue and the recovery environment. Press F11

  But when press F11... you got it... uuuppps...

  Missing operating system

  So, what are you waiting for

• Conversion to logical recovery partition - is it logical?

  Hello everyone,

  My new dv6-6070se with win7 64 bit has 4 primary partitions. So I can't create new partitions.

  But if I delete or convert one of them to the logic, it will be possible to create new partitions.

  I already have a DVD series of recovery with the Recovery Manager. What happens if I convert the recovery partition (~ 15 GB) of elementary logic. Does this affect the usefulness of this partition as a source of recovery?

  And likewise, I have 2 other primary partitions, HP (99 MB) tools and SYSTEM (199 MB). How important are they?

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks to advnce.

  If you created the recovery DVD popular with those non-rewritable, and then use the Recovery Manager to delete the recovery partition, use Windows disk management. After he is gone then you can create you own new partition.

  If you were to change the logic it would need anyway. Leave it alone ' system', if you delete that or that you resize, your machine unbootable.

  HP tools has diagnostic applications in there to test your hard drive, memory, save a corrupted flash BIOS which is best left alone etc.

  You can access by typing immediately press f2 at startup upward.

• Conversion of non partitioned in partitioned table

  
  Hi gurus,

  I need to convert the partition table not in the partition.  More flexible way is to use the DBMS_REDEFINITION package for this.
  I do not have access to run this package, when I asked the EXECUTE permission for my dev
  CUSTOMER rejected suggestion that
  "DBMS_REDEFINITION is a method very slow migration that has never been used before here for these migrations.
  so I do not recommend using it as it can trigger bugs and unexpected side effects.

  
  is this true?

  What will be the alternative method, I can go away?

  Please suggest

  S

  I don't think DBMS_REDEFINITION has bugs.  However, you (and the client) should be familiar with the steps involved.

  Other that that, you will need to create a partitioned table and insert data to the existing table.  You can speed up integration through parallel direct-path insert.

  You will also need to build indexes on the new (partitioned) table.  Define constraints if necessary.  Run grants to other patterns, if necessary.

• Local partitioned Global Index Index conversion online.

  Hi all
  I use the Release of oracle 10.2.0.4.0 version. As a solution to solve a performance problem, I intend to convert one of the partitioned local index in overall index. Here is the script that I made, but it will take a time out as because other applications may use the same index and will suffer from performance during the transition problem. My question is if I can reach the same onlline, only because the prod database is too busy down time? Please suggest.
  
  Script:
  
  drop index INDX_c1c2;
  
  create the IDX_c1c2 index on tab1 (c1, c2);

  create the IDX_c1c2 index on tab1 (c1, c2);

  Your application will run without index during the time it takes to create. An alternative approach which avoids this would be:

  create index INDX_c1c2null on tab1(c1,c2,null);
  drop index INDX_c1c2;

• To the Partition, or not?

  After the conversation with others on this forum, a question popped into my head.

  With a fusion of 1 TB drive, which is preconfigured with Mac OS, etc. can a partition that drive?

  I was under the impression that this could cause issues with the merger, thereby breaking the merger between the SSD and SATA.

  Can someone throw some light or direction on this?

  With a Fusion drive, you can add a partition, or a partition of a Windows.

• Can't see the BootCamp partition or delete it

  So last night I installed Windows via BootCamp. When I started in Windows Installer I couldn't install it because 'the disc selected GPT partition style'.

  I start again under OSX and was ordered to the disk utility to format the partition, BootCamp to ExFAT, but I do not see this partition.

  

  I thought again the whole process and delete the partition with the Boot Camp Assistant, but it gives me this:

  Ideally, I would like to make the BootCamp work and see what I can finally install Windows. Can someone please help me here?

  There is no instructions in training Camp to use eXFat formats,

  Again, just follow the instructions as they are written
