• Failure of repartitioning after using Boot Camp to uninstall Windows

  Hey there,

  I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 on my MBP 15 "retina.

  I got 10 Windows installed on my device and I decided to uninstall it through the Boot Camp Assistant, but suddenly had an error that repartitioning could be done and the process has failed. Then I tried it again and this time, that nothing has happened and the bar has been blocked, so I decided to close and stop the process.

  After a while, I noticed that the Partition does not appear on finder, but the main part (Macintosh HD) was not the exact size of the disk, which means that the Windows partition still exists.

  Now please help me to solve this problem and remove this Windows partition so I can have a single partition and more free space.

  Note that I'm a little fake. (If I need a complete answer)

  Thank you.

  You can use lack some of my storage on my HDD, installed bootcamp has failed. as reference and after the release of orders as requested Terminal? We can determine the course of action, based on the output.

• SuperDrive drive broken don't Boot Camp Windows at El Capitan

  I tried many schemes proposed in this forum and at least a dozen different ways to do El Capitan boot camp Windows. I have run csrutil disable recovery and used the utility gdisk to rewrite the workout plan to use GPT.  It seems to go as far as the installation of all files of Windows 10 then I get the message Windows "Windows didn't prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation.» To install Windows, restart the installation. "I tried bcdboot c:\windows and manually enter the drive and also the partition GUID I recorded option detail gdisk. But I get errors co so there is something that has always does not run.

  I have not yet tried Rufus. I used unetbootin to make my Windows 10 microsoft 64-bit ISO flash player. I also have an OEM Windows 8 disc bought three years ago. I am a little concerned by the barking of multiple trees simultaneously.

  It's a MacBookPro6, 1 EFI and SMC confirm current. 8 GB Crucial RAM. The SuperDrive doesn't work, or my burner USB Pioneer BD-204 (with confirmation last firmware, which actually turns into a BD-205) will allow you to install windows despite offering an optical EFI partition after the option - reboot. I was able to get Windows installed from a USB key that I did leave an ISO download unetbootin Using Microsoft as described. Maybe Rufus has solved this problem?

  I am entirely prepared to scrub the entire disk (that I had actually done yesterday, by a genius) and start from scratch if I could just find a step - who would work in reality. I really need to boot camp Windows 8 or 10 of this machine again.

  I'm even ready to install another internal drive instead the SuperDrive for boot camp Windows, but I want to assure you that I have does not work in the same exact questions if I take this step.

  Also boot camp just offers me the possibility to specify an ISO standard, there isn't that two not three check boxes and whenever I try from the disk, I get the black 'system unboot press a button' block after it restarts.

  I also edited info.plist of boot camp to add my model to the list of the 32 bit patterns.

  There is absolutely no problem backup etc., yesterday, the genius was so smart that he told me to try a Microsoft store.

  Please help this is going on 10 days, that I tried to fix this now. Should I go back to the Apple Store and ask them to put the Mavericks on this? That's how I got 8.1 Windows boot planted three years ago.

• Boot Camp: This disc seems to have been divided by another utility. It must be erased before installing Windows.

  I have a SATA Western Digital to 6 TB drive on my Mac Pro 2012.  I thought "what better place to put a bootcamp partition?  But when I went to use the Boot Camp Assistant, I was greeted with this:

  Boot Camp: This disc seems to have been divided by another utility. It must be erased before installing Windows.

  

  I thought ' OK - I'll delete data... Use utility disk to erase the disk completely, and then try again.  After a few hours, I used... completely partitioned disk utility disk and tried again.

  Same message.

  It seems that for some reason I can erase completely and use the entire disk for Windows (blah) or should I use another drive or not Boot Camp at all.  Is there a problem with the size of the hard drive Boot Camp can support?  Any advice?

  Hello ElPapa,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I understand that you want to put a Boot Camp partition on your Western Digital HD connected to your Mac Pro. What is your boot drive? If this isn't the case, it could be part of your problem. According to the following article on installing Microsoft Windows using Boot Camp, it is said that you need "at least 55 GB of free disk space on your startup disk".

• Issue of boot camp

  If I install Bootcamp on my iMac will I still have my mac files it can change between iOS and windows?

  And can I install boot camp on an HDA disk extern?

  Bootcamp take a portion defined by you to your hard drive in my case, I had a 2 to hd and divided into 1 TB for windows and 1 TB for osx

  When I press option or with my windows left the keyboard down Alt key when it starts up I get a list where I can choose if I want to start osx and windows

  Windows we see the mac part of your hard drive read-only and even OSX with the part of windows

  Windows itself is not officially supported running on an external hard drive so I would say no, but people usually find ways and I don't know if windows see love at first sight connected external drive as it would a usb connected.

• I tried to make a boot camp partition, but for some reason some don't has not and now I have two partitions I can't combine.

  I tried to ebb in the Boot Camp Assistant, but I'm greeted by this message "Startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. Also, whenever I try to go back to disk maybe utility try to merge the two together it won't let me. Help, please. My laptop is currently the MacBook Pro 2015.

  Maybe someone can come up with some weird juju or mysterious incantation to perform during the full moon in loincloth, but in a State worse case, you will need to repartition the disk and reinstall/restore from scratch. So I would say that you start preparing down all your stuff safely into something you can restore from. In other words, get an external drive of appropriate size and clone the current system of work on a bootable clone. Can be done with disk utility, but the fastest way is to use CarbonCopyCloner, you can try for free. Be sure to clone the recovery Partition as well.

• Boot Camp or Parallels 11

  Hello

  I just bought a new Mac Book Pro 13 "Retina Display. I intend to use Windows 10 on my mac book as well. For the most part, I'll use windows for commercial purposes like MS Office, email, photoshop, navigation and sometimes I could use it for the basic games.

  I'm stuck between Bootcamp and parallels. Parallels seems more user-friendly, attributes of parallels seems as easy as switching between two systems also things I want to do it on Windows could not push the memory and device allows to execute in good performance. However I still have concerns about the Parallels because of performance issues I've read so far. Since its running the two systems at the same time, it could reduce the performance of the laptop. I would get the best performance and the face with minimal breakdowns of the system that I use.

  Also, I read a lot of articles that says that boot camp is best in performance wise but I couldn't make the decision for my case and my features. I need suggestions from other users who are more experienced with Mac in order to make a decision between them.

  Plug from my laptop.

  Thank you

  Perhaps you are not aware of this, but OS X comes with e-mail software. MS Office is available for OS X, just like most of the products like Photoshop Adobe. OS X also comes with its own browser. My question is why you must use Windows to run programs that you run on OS X without using Windows?

  Although Boot Camp is slightly faster with Windows and Parallels, but unless the speed is essential Parallels is much easier to use provided that you have sufficient memory to run two operating systems simultaneously.

• Boot Camp Windows Installation 10 - "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. It's the GPT partition style.

  Hello

  I tried to dual boot Windows 10 alongside OS X El Capitan on my iMac 21.5 inch i5 end 2013. I have followed all the instructions in the Boot Camp assistant, restart, choose the yellow 'Windows' drive to boot from, but when I get to the Windows installation, enter the product key and language, and then select the partition (0-4, the partition Disk Partition) it tells me that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »

  So I found this answer: How do I install Windows 8.1 on Haswell MBP

  But then I received the same error.

  Tried this: http://macriot.com/mcrt/?p=2362

  But fdisk TPG allow me to change anything, as the SIP is enabled.

  Tried to disable SIP via a command line in a terminal in recovery mode, but got an error-bash: command not found csrutil.

  So now I'm stuck on all fronts. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  1. your iMac end 2013 supports the facilities of BIOS/MBR and GPT/EFI.

  2. the legacy BIOS/MBR method requires a hybrid MBR.

  3 EFI/GPT is recommended for your specific model.

  4. you can use the GPT Fdisk steps in your link to make your drive a GPT disk only. It is not enough.

  5. you will need to convert the FAT32 partition space using the following OS X Terminal

  diskutil eraseVolume free disk0s4 FREE

  This will return an error, because free space is not associated with disk slices.

  6. at this point, use the USB installer created by the wizard of BC, boot from it and hold down the Alt/Option key and select Boot EFI (not Windows). Point to the portion of the free space that you see after the + 620 MB Recovery HD. It will separate into a small (128 MB) MSR and the rest as MSD (NTFS).

  7. do not install W7 in Boot EFI, because it has some difficulties.

  8. when Windows is installed, and BC drivers are not installed, run setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder.

  9. If csrutil is not found, you are in the recovery of the Internet, because your local Recovery HD is corrupted. The rescue of the failure of the local recovery is restoration of Internet. Your must be on El Capitan. There is no csrutil (or SIP) before El Capitan.

• Mac Mini with os x Lion, said El Capitan partition Boot Camp Windows 7 has lost

  I have a Mid 2011 Mac Mini with os x Lion as my main OS.  I had installed Windows 7 to be started using Boot Camp.  Everything worked perfectly until I added El Capitan under a new partition.   Now, as soon as the boot, there is no option of Boot Camp; There are only Lion and El Capitan options to begin.  However, BOOTCAMP and Win7 files/folders appear in the Finder.

  After reading similar cases here in the support forums, it seems that this may be repairable.  (fingers crossed)  Oh, and FYI, I'm a total beginner when using in the Terminal environment.

• iMac 2015 Unable to Boot Camp and Windows Installer

  I've been back and forth with a Service guy to customers by phone, but thought I'd throw so the question in the case to see if there were others who have experienced similar problems and might be able to help.

  I have an iMac, retina 5K, 27 - in, end of 2014. It allows to launch the Boot Camp with Windows 8.1, which I put in place about 1 year ago. It worked very well. But then, I decided to try to upgrade to Windows 10 about 3 weeks, which is not well. Decided to erase the partition via the wizard Boot Camp and re - install from scratch.

  Now, I can not install Windows at all. I've tried everything. Using another ISO downloaded from the Windows website. Check disks using first aid. Last night I even totally erased the readers (via the terminal in recovery mode, with the help of the man of CS) and made a "Reinstall internet" of the operating system and then tried in boot camp. Without success.

  I tried to call Microsoft too, but their position on the whole thing is "this is on a Mac, this is the problem to Apple. Bye. »

  Appearances, Assistant Boot Camp is successfully created a partition. The system resets the Windows installation each time and I spend the flow rate of the installation until I get to the section "where you want to install Windows? I select my Bootcamp partition, format and then click Next. That's when I get the error message "we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup logs files. »

  If I quit the installer and restart on the side OSX, I see that the new partitions is to Windows NTFS, so it seems ok. I am completely puzzled and frustrated as * at this stage.

  Any thoughts? Ideas? Help? Please?

  iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014)

• Boot camp unrecognized cross-platform records

  So here's a little history, I had an installation work of Yosemite and Win 7 ultimate running on my MacPro 3.1 beginning 2008, saw disks cross-platform with the standard read write limits, data was all mixed-platform so I decided to backup my stuff at the same time, wipe and do a clean install, I only have a disc of snow leopard OSX so I wiped and did a clean install with one of there , I noticed there was a worm even newer to avalible OSX install El Capitan then I updated level and attempted to do a training camp, although bootcamp and apples website says that my machine would support 7 when you enter the disk, he said I could do only a win 8 64-bit installation, I did not no more nor want to. It's jogging my memory that I had to modify the plist for the first time I did this, so I started to do some reading and what appeared to be the fastest workaround has been download a copy of bootcamp 4, because the new version does not support mixed installation of the iso (32 & 64 bit ver on one disc) did the installation went well spent ran boot camp software Player was not grateful so I tried to connect to the internet and there was a problem any appeared adapters but I just couldn't join the network and other issues at random so I started back in OSX deleted the partition and booted, this time networking the problem has been resolved but hard disk recognition was still a question , from windows I can openboot camp software and select this option to start card, but can not see the player mac, Mac I see windows on the desktop player but does not not in the utility disc or bootcamp and a target boot disk.

  Sorry for the long background but I seem not to be the only person having this problem perhaps this may help understand why its happening and lead to a better solution, aka prevent it

  Here is the info that you seem to need to read the other discussions on this topic

  I read the solution for the subjects to which I'm fairly certain that I'm having the same problem with and I am confident in preforming the required steps, like to confirm that, that is the question and what numbers should I use in my case for steps 7 and 8 and help is greatly appreciated.

• Windows 10 could not locate the boot camp partition

  I'm trying to install 10 Windows on an iMac end of 2015 with a 512 SSD.  With the help of Boot Camp and an ISO of Windows 10, I am able to create the Bootcamp partition and the iMac restarts in the Windows of Windows installation. I enter my product key for my Windows 7 DVD and reach the screen showing partitions.  I select "disk 0 Partition 5 Boot Camp" partition and click on 'Format' according to the Apple support document.  The partition is then renamed to 'Drive Partition 0 5'.  When I select the next button, I get the following error message:- "we couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one.  For more information, see the Setup logs files'.  The Windows Installer does not progress.  I deleted the partition several times using bootcamp and restarted the installation and always get the same failure.

  Any advice on how to install Windows would be greatly appreciated.  Boot Camp 6 will let me install Windows 7 on the iMac and so I need to use Windows 10.  I guess the Windows 10 ISO downloaded from Microsoft will work with the Windows 7 product key and Setup seems to accept it.
