Boot camp & vm Fision

参考麦客孤独的教程:boot camp和vm fusion 完美合作详细说明,用VM Fusion 启动boot camp 安装的windows。但是在我自己操作中,遇到问题,打开VM后点Boot camp partition不能行windows,出现对话框提示:

Cannot open the disk '/Users/binchen/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot Camp partition.vmwarevm/Boot Camp partition.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

Reason: The partition table on the physical disk has changed since the disk was created. Remove the physical disk from the virtual machine, then add it again.

VM fusion Version 1.1.1 (72241) eng,

Leopard 10.5.2

boot camp 2.0 (分区后安装win用NTFs格式化了)

启动时按option可以选择windows启动,但是在mac的系统设置,启动盘里没有示windows启动


不会弄,于是乎寻找网上,用vmware-rawcreator 手动创建vm导boot camp 分区系统的。(ref:original thread)自己新建一个vm但是启动的是boot camp安装的windows系统,把原来默认的boot camp partition 虚拟机删掉就可以了。


主要操作如下:

  1. In VMWare Fusion, create a new vmware instance called WindowsXp. Under “Settings” for that vm, you can change or add a new IDE hard drive. This will make life easier, since you won’t have to worry about having the right SCSI driver if you are running a minimalistic Linux distro. From the command line, WindowsXp is really a directory called WindowsXP.vmwarevm (yes, vm appears twice in that extension).
  2. Close WindowsXP in VMWare Fusion, so you can edit it directly.
  3. In a terminal:
    1.  cd "/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/"
    2. List the partitions on your hard drive. ./vmware-rawdiskCreator print /dev/disk0
    3. Create a file that points VMWare at your partition. (My bootcamp partition is number 3, so that is why you see a 3 in the following command.) ./vmware-rawdiskCreator create /dev/disk0 3  /Users/USERNAME/WindowsXP.vmwarevm/bootcamp_partition ide
  4. Add or edit these lines in the text file /Users/USERNAME/WindowsXP.vmwarevm/WindowsXP.vmx ide0:0.present = "TRUE"     ide0:0.fileName = "bootcamp_partition.vmdk"
  5.  Run WindowsXP in VMWare Fusion. You will be asked for your administrative password, because VMWare Fusion must be granted access to read and write to your bootcamp partition
倒是可以运行windows了,只是原先的问题不知道在哪里,看log文件说disk0不能打开,不懂啊,抓狂!

ccd2iso

ccd2iso------CloneCD image to ISO image file converter!


mac os x 下burn .iso镜像文件倒是方便,不今天碰到CloneCD的镜像,包含.ccd/.img/,sub三个文件,郁闷了,一般需要CloneCD是在windows下的,还有个Toast,看了感觉也比较麻烦,看到这个开源软件ccd2iso简直是眼前一亮啊,赶紧下载,然后按照install说明文件指示:1. ./configrue 2.make 3.make install. 4.make clean. (在root下make install)安装完毕,然后命令:ccd2iso image.img myimage.iso 就ok了,不需要另外两个文件。

Mac 字典软件 Dictionay 2.0

如今so international, 电子字典是每台电脑的必备。用上Mac后用的都是web translation, 因为每找到好的软件,Dojam试过,感觉翻译不好; Mac自带的Dictionary2.0默认的只有英英翻译和Wikipedia, 在快速阅读的时候基本就是添乱。
不过有点希望了,找到在Mac 的 Dictionary2.0 添加其他翻译包的,还有达人作了字典转换器,可以将Startdic的字典包转换成Dictionary2.0使用的包,强!
我就现成下载了牛津英汉字典美化版 参考博文。下载解压到自己用户目录下的资源库中的Dictionaries中(Library/Dictionaries)就可以了。注意:下载的包解压后是一个Contents目录,那么,在Library/Dictionaries下自己建一个文件夹命名为:XXX.dictionary(就是扩展名为dictionary的文件夹),然后把Contents目录放进去。

需要自己转换其他字典包的,请参考达人的blog:Mac Dictionary Kit
并感谢我google到并下在现成包包的兄弟blog:MAC字典软件 英汉字典下载

Top 10 Most Popular Torrent Sites of 2007 (ZZ)

% Source from: TorrentFreak

The list is based on Alexa’s traffic rank, and this data was backed up by reports from quantified sites on quantcast and traffic reports from some of the site admins.

Here is the list, as of December 29, public BitTorrent sites only.


1. Mininova

Without a doubt the most visited BitTorrent site. In November, Mininova reached a milestone by entering the list of the 50 most visited websites on the Internet.

Alexa rank: 46

2. IsoHunt

IsoHunt continued to grow this year. In September they were forced to close their trackers to US traffic because of the issues they have with the MPAA, but this had no effect on the visitor count.

Alexa rank: 143

3. The Pirate Bay

The Pirate Bay has been in the news quite a bit this year and remains not only the most used BitTorrent tracker, but also one of the most visited BitTorrent sites. At the moment they are fighting with IsoHunt for the second place in this list.

Alexa rank: 147

4. Torrentz

Torrentz is the only “torrent site” in the top 10 that doesn’t host .torrent files. Several improvements and new features have been introduced over the past year such as a comment system, private bookmarks and a cleaner layout.

Alexa rank: 160

5. BTjunkie

BTjunkie was one of the fastest risers last year and continued to grow throughout 2007. Last month they were, like many others, forced to leave their ISP (LeaseWeb), but the transition to a new host went smoothly and didn’t result in any downtime.

Alexa rank: 445

6. TorrentSpy

TorrentSpy was the most popular BitTorrent site of 2006, but dropped to sixth place due to legal issues with the MPAA. To ensure the privacy of their users, TorrentSpy decided that it was best to block access to all users from the US, causing their traffic to plunge.

Alexa rank: 461

7. TorrentPortal

Not much news about TorrentPortal this year, but that probably is a good thing. Like most other sites they have grown quite a bit in 2007.

Alexa rank: 481

8. GamesTorrents

It’s quite a surprise to see GamesTorrents in the list of 10 most popular BitTorrent sites of 2007. This Spanish BitTorrent site had a huge dip in traffic earlier this year but managed to secure 8th place.

Alexa rank: 583

9. TorrentReactor

TorrentReactor.net has been around for quite a while, four years to be exact, and is still growing.

Alexa rank: 604

10. BTmon

BTmon was one of the newcomers in 2006, and it is the youngest BitTorrent site in the top 10 this year.

Alexa rank: 673

Honorable Mention: Demonoid

For being one of the most visited BitTorrent sites until they pulled the plug in November.


Top 5 Newcomers

1. SumoTorrent

SumoTorrent launched this April and quickly became one of the more popular BitTorrent sites.

Alexa rank: 1021

2. SeedPeer

SeedPeer launched in September and is formerly known as Meganova.

Alexa rank: 2924

3. Zoozle

A BitTorrent meta-search engine, launched in January.

Alexa rank: 2987

4. Extratorrent

Launched a year ago, it got a serious traffic boost earlier this year.

Alexa rank: 5304

5. BitTorrent.am

BitTorrent.am is also indexed by Torrentz.com, and was launched early 2007.

Alexa rank: 6903


Note: Alexa’s data gathering is not perfect. The exact figures may be not be completely accurate, but it is a great tool (especially the traffic rank) to compare sites within the same niche and to get a global impression of traffic shifts over time.
