• Install Windows 8 on external drive Thunderbolt - Windows could not prepare the computer to begin the next phase of installation

  Hi all

  I'm at my wit's end trying to install windows 8. Let me start at the beginning: I used to have windows running on my Mac Pro ssd internal 8.1, installed via bootcamp. It worked well for a while, and then refused to start, gives me a blue screen KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. Despite some advice from lonely T, I was unable to fix and ended up wiping the partition and relocation, again via bootcamp. Yet once again, it worked for a few months, then the same problem. I made this one last time, and it only lasted 2 days... So I gave bootcamp.

  I think that the hybrid MBR partition scheme that implements bootcamp is the culprit, but I don't really have evidence to substantiate this claim. In any case, I tried to install windows in EFI mode. (If I understand correctly, the hybrid MBR is set up to allow windows to install in legacy BIOS mode, but that windows 8 may now install efi, which supports my Mac Pro mode.) My Mac is the new Mac Pro (end of 2013, trash in shape), and I can say short UEFI 2.0 (I have the latest efi update from apple installed).

  The method I'm trying:

  1. create a new partition in HFS + on my external drive using disk utility. The drive has now it's efi partition and partition empty 750Go I want to install windows a 1.25 TB storage partition that I use with my mac. It has a GPT. I formatted HFS + and no FAT, because I think that disk utility creates the same hybrid-MBR as training camp every time a FAT partition is created.

  2. use gdisk to confirm that the disc does not have a hybrid-MBR. (sudo/dev/disk1 gdisk watch MBR: protection)

  3 restart my mac and hold the possibility to put in place to bring up the boot efi menu.

  4. Select the EFI_Boot DVD icon (that's the windows 8 install dvd that I have in my superdrive USB drive)

  5. go in the menus of the disk selection screen installation and delete the partition in HFS +, I created to install windows on (the format option is not available)

  6. now select "Unallocated space" on the good drive and click Next.

  The problem:

  Partitioning seems to go ok (there is no feedback on this basis, but it proceeds to the next screen, and all new partitions expected are there if I check diskutil list later). He said it is "copy of windows files", but then stops with the error "Windows has no prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." To install Windows, restart the installation. "If I restart, I can start the same process all over again and get the same result.

  The Question:

  How I get this error and get windows install?

  Extra pieces:

  • The first time it happened I assumed it was the new sip / thing "without roots" in El Capitan, causing problems, then I disabled, but I still get the same error.
  • After reviewing the diskutil list output after one of installs it without success, I found that a labeled EFI partition has been created after my storage partition (the original efi partition was still there in the upper part of the disc).
  • I have windows 8.1 installed now bootcamp on my internal ssd. It was planned to use it and winToUSB to put windows on my crush, but I found that it only works with usb2. I do not have installed could cause problems with the installation on another disk.
  • Before say you I can't run windows on an external, yes you can, and many people have. I read windows sees thunderbolt internal disks.
  • I read a few other posts on this and other sites on this problem, but could not find a pertitnant solution to my situation. I found one that suggested to remove the efi on my disk partition, but that seemed like a bad idea, so I didn't try.
  • I write this at 1 in the morning after a day spent in front of the computer trying to get this working, so please excuse typos typing or other. I am pleased to provide you with any pertinant information helping you will help me.
  • Thank you!

  The other thing I tried also almost succeeded:

  Although I prefer to get the method above works, because it seems the most promising, is something else, I've tried that I thought worth mentioning. If you offer advice pertaining to this method rather than the above, I would appreciate it if you could explicitly declare that at the top of your answer. Thank you.
  

  I tried to install windows on the physical disk using vmware and virtual box. The instrutctions I followed for this can be found here: http://www.andrewsavory.com/blog/2011/2156 (the only thing different, it's because it's on an external drive, I created the Fat 32 partition manually using disk utility). The first time (using vmware) installation seems to go off without a hitch, but I couldn't get my computer to see the windows partition as bootable with the boot efi menu hold-option regular refined or with system preferences-> startup disk. I think that I was using always inadvertently a hybrid-MBR at this stage. I tried to repeat this new beginning with the first two steps above to avoid the hybrid-MBR. But now when I try to create the virtual machine based on the gross vmdk, it starts to copy the files then says not sufficient permissions and fails. I don't know if it's a permission with the disk or the hard problem. I tried chmod 777 and chown $USER of the vmdk disk (/ dev/disk1s3) does not.

  Wow, that was a long post...

  1. when a second drive is detected by the Windows Setup program, he wants to create his own brand of EFI (104 MB) and not to mess with the Mac EFI (200 MB). You can force it to use the EFI to the Mac using Diskpart commands.

  2 instead of HFS/FAT32, create a piece of 750 GB free space and it should only get a new MSR/MSD, without the part of EFI.

  3. on your VM method, the link you have is quite old. You have a MP 2013, with references to the 2010 Mac alumni and is a bit too archaic to be useful. http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/install-a-Windows-7-partition-on-Mac-OSX-Wit hout-optical-car-or - usb.1836959 / #post... seems to work for many and can be useful for a test. It also uses Winclone.

• How to fix the problem with windows to format external drive and lightroom

  I'm working on an imac with lightroom 4. I've already imported photos from an external drive that is formatted for windows. I made some changes using LR develop module but I would also use my NIK plugins. Lightroom does not allow me to export to the Nik plugins because the files are on a windows format. How can I copy/paste the photos on a mac to the disc format while keeping my changes? In addition, how re - import these files in the mac player in LR? At the present time, these files are shaded on b/c they are already in LR on the windows disc. Help?

  TUxera is a utility that gets around this limitation of Mac.

• Data transfer between 8300XP and 8.1 of Windows using an external drive of 1TD will be my transfer of files to the new system?

  I have an old Dell 8300 XP for 12 years and just got a HP Pavilion 23. Bought a WD 1TD disk transfer the data from my old computer to my new computer? Also, my old computer has some type of pass protection, when entering data on a disk or diskette that appears to be empty on any other computer. Do I have to remove the password protection before I transfer my data to the external hard drive?

  If your files are encrypted - you have Windows XP Professional, use the EFS file system and the files appear in the Green type when you look in Windows Explorer - then Yes, you have to decrypt (remove them the password) before you transfer the files.

  If you mean that you must enter a password to connect to your XP computer but otherwise have no password protected individual files, so No, mustn't do something for files before transferring them.

  Perhaps you could clarify what you mean by "when entering the data on a drive or a floppy drive he seemed to empty on any other computer."

  If you are unsure if you have XP Pro, made a click right desktop and select "Properties".

• Best way to move the photos to an external drive and subsequent backups? Without using the TM

  I filled out my current 1 GB drive external hard, so have bought another. This time around 4 GB...

  I don't want to see TM this time I just spend all my photos/videos from my Mac to the HD and much obviously, then continue to do that in the future.

  What is the best way to do it? Also, taking into account future backups, I don't want to reproduce the photos/videos.

  At soon all, Russ.

  You can exclude files/folders in Time Machine preferences.

  However, I do not understand what you want to do in the future. If you only have photos in one place, you do not have a backup.

• How can I move the mail to an external drive or a similar place of ediscovery?

  I have a summons for my emails to a certain company. How to separate my their email inbox and put them on an external support to provide for the lawyers?

  You should check with the lawyers, what types of files, they are satisfied. They may prefer something like PDF.

  File | Register under allows you to specify the file type. I would say .eml because it gives a copy verbatim.

  Drag / move to a folder on your computer normally gives the same result.

  If you have a lot of messages to export like that, I would use the ImportExportTools add-on - we.

  https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Thunderbird/addon/ImportExportTools/

  It also gives you a PDF option if appropriate.

  But you do, you may find that it's cleaner to do a specific folder in Thunderbird and copy all relevant messages in this folder. Then you can export this folder as a procedure for blocking simple file copy/transfer, having already separated and organized. This folder will also remind you what you have sent to them and help you spot any omissions.

• I need to display a corporate tutorial site which is only supported by Microsoft Windows.  Is it possible to load windows on an external hard drive and a MacBook to view the Web site?

  I need to post a tutorial for some training company corporate site only supports Microsoft Windows.  I'll buy a MacBook in the coming weeks when I go to training and I wonder if there is a way to load windows on an external drive and launch it on my MacBook?  I know you can use bootcamp, but I don't want to burn up that much of my Flash memory by placing it on the MacBook itself.  I have a 1 to Seagate that I use on my iMac at home for Time Machine.  Could just operate with Windows on it to visit the society tutorial with my MacBook?

  Boot Camp will not allow that.

  It is possible that one of the many emulators Windows for Mac can allow you to run with such a disk configuration.

• How can I move catalog PS elements Organizer (9) on an external drive?

  I have little space on the laptop MacBook Pro retina, and I need to move this catalogue on an external drive. Not sure if the files are referenced or if they are in the folder with the catalog. If there are any files referenced, I need to move these to the external volume.

  The Organizer stores its information in a catalog, it does not store your photos, as you correctly suggest.

  1 - photo/media ("library") files are stored on your computer where you want on the inside or / and several external drives.

  2 - the catalog itself is a folder containing the database and other assets of catalog as the cache thumbnails. By default, it's on your startup disk. Help found its place > information of the Organizer menu system.

  3. you can copy or move all the folder where you want: links always corresponding to the actual location of the media files. However, if you move the files from your library outside of the Organizer, the links are not updated.

  Based on these 3 principles that you can choose what suits best.

  -If you want to free up space on your internal drive, you can move your 'library' totally or in part, to an external drive, provided that make you the gesture of the display of the records of your organiser (not from the finder). Who maintains the links updated.

  -If you do it from the Finder, you will get "disconnected" files in your catalog and you would "reconnect" from the Catalog Manager (not easy).

  -You can keep your catalog on the internal drive, its size may not be a problem.

  -You might want to move your catalog where you want on the external hard drive. No problem to move the external drive. 'S done it with your Finder. In theory, the operating speed is lowest place, but the advantage is that you can share your catalog and library between two computers with the same version of the Organizer.

  -The best and safest to move your catalogue and the library to the Organizer in a single operation is to use the process of "backup and restore":

• If you move files to an external drive in PSE 7, are these backup files when you catalog backup

  My catalog is now about 50 GB and I want to decrease its size so that it takes up less space on my hard drive, and more important, so my backups and restorations do not take as long.    Files are not to be modified in the future then why keep saving them?  If I move the files on an external drive using files offline, copy/move files on the removable disk will be backup items these files as well as files on my C drive when I backup my catalog?

  If not, can I move files to a new catalogue and catalogue of dangerous data (such as albums, tags, etc.)?

  Thanks for any help.

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  When restore you to the original location on the destination computer, the fact that restoring average the same path where the files were on the source computer?

  Yes, the exact same path.

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  I used this option once when I saved on my XP computer and restored to my Vista machine.  It took me a long time to get rid of extra files generated by Vista.

  If you're moving from XP to Vista and your records are under C:\Documents and Settings\, Vista will create aliases to your user folders to maintain compatibility (since Vista has a different naming convention for the files of the user).  Vista itself will not create additional folders, but programs like the PES can be confused by having two different names for the same file.

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  I now store everything (files catalog and photos) in a folder with the same name under C:\ on both computers.

  As long as it is not under C:\Documents And Settings, then use the original location option to restore to the same exact path.

  The option new location / Restore Original Folder Structure will preserve your folder hierarchy, but create very long paths by adding in the root files, for example \users\ellis\pictures and it is difficult for many people to collapse these unnecessarily added files.

• 6 Lightroom not allowing editing of external drive

  I have two external drives connected to Lightroom, one is a 1 to and it's almost complete, the other is bigger and quite empty. I noticed today that

  the 1 TB drive is coming as the Red menu in Lightroom. It allows me to look at the pictures but when you go to and external program (Silverefex) to change it will not allow me.

  The drive works fine otherwise, I can display images in Photoshop and elsewhere, but for some reason any not in Lightroom. No idea where it started, have disengaged, restarted

  unplugged, in vain. All advice appreciated.

  Ok. Makes sense. To change in an external application, LR should create a new copy of the image, and your player's room. You need to move the files to another drive or remove things that you no longer need.

  If you move folders of images from external drive, use Lightroom to do. Drag and drop in the files Panel.

• Could not import on an external drive

  Recently, when I try to import photos to save to an external drive, it did not work. The import process seems to pass very quickly and then the file numbers are numbered with an error message. I can import fine on the internal hard drive and then move the files to the external drive. It only started happening. Any ideas?

  Yes indeed, "cannot be read' is a WRITE permissions problem.

  You did not check the permissions of the appropriate folder. You select PHOTOS 2015 as destination folder in Lightroom, and then you check the folder 2015 (another name) for permissions.
