  • How to fix the fsck "your drive could not be partitioned..." Bootcamp does not

    Hello, after days of searching for a solution and try several times to fix this, I write a question.

    I want to create a partition with Bootcamp to install Windows 7. Here's what I made in the following order:

    1. Tried to partition with bootcamp, but he was only let me pick 32 GB or 1024 GB (which I did not available).
    2. Manually create the partition with utility disk and at the start of my flash, found that USB 3.0 drive / Bluetooth drivers don't would not load then ran in question where I couldn't go beyond 'select language' screen on Win 7 install.
    3. Tried to restart and delete my partition but noticed that I couldn't so I had to boot in recovery of the Internet and the use of the terminal commands and gpt, deleted the unused partition and used disk utility to merge it into main drive. I followed these instructions: deleted my bootcamp partition, but can not resize my osx partition
    4. Re-directed training camp and received the error "your drive could not be partitioned."
    5. Disc repair/check etc. ran and found errors.
    6. Run fsck by this thread that your disk cannot be partitioned. Win7 Bootcamp and still got here.
    7. Thought that maybe filevault caused outcome so disabled that. 48 hours later my 2.3 TB have been deciphered.
    8. Ran bootcamp, same problem.
    9. Run fsck, same problem.
    10. Currently using TestDisk to analyse the sectors on disk 1, correct? :

    I'm ready to create another partition manual if I can get drivers USB/BT to work.


    Furthermore, anyone know why there is a limit of 32 GB/1024 on the size of my partition for bootcamp? Why can't choose anything between the two?

  • Solitaire: error "your drive could not be partitioned. Help, please

    Hey, solitaire

    After recovering disk space, I tried to run BCA. I used a 64 bit Win10 .iso downloaded from Microsoft. BCA created the installation disk, downloaded media files and allowed me to choose my size of the partition (same split) on my merger of 3 TB drive. Then I got the error.

    I have reset the SMC

    Rest PRAM

    None of the external devices are connected.

    I repaired the drive in disk utility, and restarted in single-user mode and made a repair of the AF - / sbin/fsck.

    Also, I started in safe mode to try BCA from there, but he couldn't find the Win installation disc, even if disk utility could find it.

    Here is my list of current diskutil:

    Cs diskutil list

    This is my current research on the problem brought me. I remember seeing a bunch of odd discs added to diskutil when it is run in repair mode. There were about ten of them. I don't know if they were repaired during the previous process.

    Ideas? Thank you!

    As you test, use utility disk to create a FAT of 1 partition to or more and check the result of diskutil disk1 and sudo fdisk/dev/disk1 list and check if it works. If so, you can always delete the partition and use wizard BC.

  • Boot Camp Assistant does not start the installer

    Hi all -

    I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 or 10 Pro on my mid 2015 Macbook Pro. I made this countless times on before Mac computers, including my 2013 previous Macbook Pro without problem. However this laptop seems to have problems during the process. Or I do something wrong and don't understand how it works now.

    I started Boot Camp Assistant, walking through the steps, divide the disk, etc. He began the restart process, then it restarted,... then I was back to my Mac. There was no indication that he was still something, but I let it sit for a few minutes. When I was confident it would do nothing, I decided to restart and hold down the 'Option' key on startup to select the Windows disk...

    OK just thought of this, but I will continue to write this question: Boot Camp Assistant request now an ISO standard. I still remember having to do this from a USB or CD player. I hold down the 'Option' and select the DRIVE or a CD drive but since I do not have either, I can't select it. I thought it was a problem in which nothing appeared on the screen except Macintosh HD.

    So I guess that the problem comes from my ISO file? I made them using the instructions from Apple of physical disks (Windows 7 and 8.1, but my laptop does not support 7). I will try to download Windows 10 Microsoft site, according to Apple.

    Anyway, I looked in the disk utility and found that BOOTCAMP was created successfully. I used Boot Camp Assistant to delete the partition and to combine the disc again. I then tried the whole process, once again, but with the same results.

    Still, I will try with a new ISO directly from Microsoft...

    Thanks for any input in advance.

    1. 2015 macs do not use a cable USB or CD/DVD to install Windows.

    2 creates a partition on the internal drive called OSXRESERVED and puts the content of the ISO and the drivers of BC on this 8 GB partition and boot from it.

    I got 10 Windows Boot Camp installed for more than a year without difficulty. But suddenly, my wifi doesn't work in Windows 10. He could see networks and said it was connected, but it has never been an internet connection.

    Assuming that it was the result of an update, I

    1 uninstalled all Windows regular updates that I can

    2. uninstalled the Broadcom driver

    3 downloaded the last Boot Camp Assistant WSS and installed

    But now I can't reinstall a driver for the Broadcom card! I tried to install WSS, but the network card remains in my device without a driver manager. So I tried to install the individual installation files in the folder of Broadcom. Still did not work. I even tried to extract all files Broadcom installation and manual installation of all the drivers. Windows 10 seems to recognize that the "ac" driver is the right, but always tells me that the driver installation failed without giving details.

    You are welcome Michaelmcd85.

    The 305 error indicates that the hard drive has failed. You will need to replace the hard drive.

    This is an easy repair so I'll give you the information you need to fix yourself. It's your interview Guide &. It contains information on how to disassemble the laptop. The guide also contains information that will allow you to choose a replacement hard drive.

    If you do not want to repair the laptop you can contact HP Support directly to the 1-800-4474-6836 if you are in the USA / Canada. If you are in another country, you must first visit HP's Support around the world to find the coordinates for your region.

    3 TB drives require a special partitioning on Macs that do not support Windows using boot EFI. What year/model is your Mac? El Capitan BCA is broken when handling this, but Yosemite and the Mavericks manage much better.

    It requires the partition Windows to be "sandwiched" between the two partitions on OS X, forming a volume of CS, so that a valid MBR can be created.

    Have you tried to create a Windows partition that was larger than 1 TB to test if it worked or not?

  • Windows 10 anniversary + Boot Camp = Assembly is more Mac partition

Everything worked fine until I installed upgrading Windows 10 anniversary today. now Windows Monte is no longer the Mac partition. I reinstalled with success the latest Boot Camp drivers, but Windows still show me the Mac partition. (Starting in Mac OS works fine).

    Everyone knows about this problem? Anyone know of a solution or workaround?

    I wanted to offshore to see the cheers or boos... started Googling tonight and find that this Apple community and a Slashdot post in particular is disconcerting:

    ... and he mentions a MiniTool Partition Wizard app. I'm looking on the site; the open air. I would try to download Windows and without committing to changes, driver changes, etc. he 'sees' the HFS partition +?
