• How do I restore the partition hidden bootcamp

  Hello

  I had the partition, bootcamp for windows 7 and I had restored the bootcamp. Bootcamp deleted the partition, but it could not restore the main HD storage size. How to restore the free space.

  

  Hello there, elixir_125.

  Looks like you're wanting to reformat the hard drive on your MacBook to delete the Bootcamp partition. The following Knowledge Base article offers up how to do this:

  How to reinstall OS X on your Mac

  Wipe your drive and install OS X

  Generally, you don't need to erase your startup disk to reinstall OS X. The OS X Installer is designed to allow you to perform an installation in place during the same version or earlier versions of Mac OS X. If you transfer your Mac to a new owner, you can clear your integrated boot disk before you reinstall OS X.

  Important: Before you remove and reinstall, back up your important files. If you are using a MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, make sure that the power adapter is connected and plugged all by performing the following steps.

  You can use these measures to erase files on your startup drive and install a fresh copy of OS X:

  1. Before you begin, make sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet.
  2. Restart your Mac. Immediately hold down the command (⌘) keys and R after having heard the startup sound to boot into OS X Recovery.
  3. When the recovery window, select disk utility, then click on continue.
  4. Select the volume name back from your startup disk in the left side of the disk utility window, then click Delete.
  5. If you want to erase the disc safely, click Security Options. Select an erasing method, and then click OK.
  6. On the Format menu, choose Mac OS extended (journaled). Type a name for your drive, and then click clear.
  7. After that the drive is deleted, close the disk utility window.
  8. If you are not connected to the Internet, select a network in the Wi-Fi menu.
  9. Select the option to reinstall OS X.
  10. Click on continue and follow the instructions on the screen to reinstall OS X.

  Additional options

  If you want to reinstall the version of Mac OS X included with your Mac, or if you have to reformat your entire startup disk, press Command + Option + R to start instead. This starts your Mac recovery of the Internet.

  If you have more than one partition (like Boot Camp) and you want to delete the complete startup disk, you can use disk utility to remove the partitions or re-partition your hard drive. Start up your Mac in recovering from Internet, then use utility to repartition your boot disk drive until delete you it. Make sure that you back up important data from all partitions before repartitioning of a disc.

  See you soon.

• Reclaim free space after deleting Partition Bootcamp

  After installing a new SSD and gives back to the top of time Machine, I deleted my Bootcamp partition on my MBP using Boot Camp Assistant. The Boot Camp partition, although MS-FAT was no longer bootable after recovery, and I thought again and use Winclone to retrieve my Windows backup.  The result of delete Boot Camp seems good:

  But when I look at the storage, I find that I went 113 GB on my hard drive MacIntosh partition (or says my Time prior Machine backup) to more than 300 GB.  The Boot Camp 118.5 GB partition is gone, but the 'Other' segment seems to have increased to 284 GB.

  

  I see a lot of solutions online for free space recovery after the removal of Boot Camp, but they do not seem to apply to me.  Many are for removals of Boot Camp failed using disk utility.  Several involve CS, but I have no basic storage.  I tried to boot into recovery and repair.  I tried several reboots to clear space.

  Any ideas, please?

• Not entirely deleted Bootcamp partition

  Hi, I tried to remove the 10 on my iMac with bootcamp windows partition. In the Mid-process my iMac froze and I had to reboot. Apparently, he deleted enough to make my computer think it is gone, but it's still there and storage is always taken. When I restart my iMac and press option to switch from readers 'Windows' is still there, but it boots just a mistake and will not let me delete anything. In disk utility, it does not show a score of "windows". Bootcamp is also windows to delete not day, he said only: install windows. I tried to fix my readers, I reset my STROLLER and I reinstalled OS X. After some time studying online I found someone say can I have damaged my "partition table", but there was no explanation as to what it is and how to fix it.

  On about this Mac, in escrow, he says 1 TB SATA drive but says that the ability is 597 GB.

  Any help is appreciated, thanks!

  Hello waynetay,

  Thank you for being part of the community of Apple!

  Looks like you want to recover the hard disk space that has been used by Bootcamp.  I know how critical disk hard space is, as I understand it want to access it.

  The Boot Camp Assistant should have added space on the side of Mac OS X from the hard drive when it has been used to remove Windows.  Since that didn't happen, you need to back up the system, and then erase the hard drive, then restore the backup.

  First, back up the computer.  Your computer has software called Time Machine.  It is a fantastic software for backing up your computer.  Information on how to use Time Machine is available here:

  Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

  Once you have the backup, you must erase the drive and then restore the backup Time Machine.

  You can use these measures to erase files on your startup drive and install a fresh copy of OS X:

  1. Before you begin, make sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet.
  2. Restart your Mac. Immediately hold down the command (⌘) keys and R after having heard the startup sound to boot into OS X Recovery.
  3. When the recovery window, select disk utility, then click on continue.
  4. Select the volume name back from your startup disk in the left side of the disk utility window, then click Delete.
  5. If you want to erase the disc safely, click Security Options. Select an erasing method, and then click OK.
  6. On the Format menu, choose Mac OS extended (journaled). Type a name for your drive, and then click clear.
  7. After that the drive is deleted, close the disk utility window.
  8. If you are not connected to the Internet, select a network in the Wi-Fi menu.
  9. Select the option to reinstall OS X.
  10. Click on continue and follow the instructions on the screen to reinstall OS X.

  Once OS X installation is complete, you should have the option to restore from a backup Time Machine in the first installation of OS X.  Choose this option, and the computer will restore everything that was on it before it has been removed.  More information can be found here:

• 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.

• Deleted partition BOOTCAMP capacity entered Recovery HD

  I am facing a weird problem and it is honestly driving me crazy!

  I had a partition bootcamp (80 GB) with Windows 7 installed for a while. Then I tried to delete this partition using Bootcamp Assistant of Apple, but I have encountered an error and was not able to do. So I decided to start in Recovery Mode, formatted the BOOTCAMP partition in the hope that I would be more able to merge with my Macintosh HD one.

  I managed to do it, which means that I then had Macintosh HD on one side and a BOOTCAMP partition go 80 empty on the other.

  However, something was not trying to group them together and for some reason, I now have a capacity of 420 GB displayed on Macintosh HD (same as before), no BOOTCAMP partition remain always displayed and order diskutil list showing me 80 GB for Apple Recovery HD (which correspond to my initial BOOTCAMP capability):

  ~ diskutil list

  / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 500,3 disk0

  1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

  2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 419,4 GB disk0s2

  3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 80.5 GB disk0s3

  When I run the option first aid in Apple SSD disk utility, I get the following:

  

  My only wish is to be able to recover my full 500 GB on Macintosh HD for later use bootcamp again and install Windows 10.

  Looking forward to any kind of help,

  Thank you in advance.

  Save all your data, preferably twice and independent from each other. Format the drive and reinstall the OS from scratch and restore your data. Alternatively, if you are comfortable using the command line this syntax comes into play:

  diskutil resizeVolume peripheral [ limits |] MapSize | R | size [numberOfPartitions]

  [part1Format part1Name part1Size part2Format part2Name

  part2Size part3Format part3Name part3Size...] ]

  No destructive resize a volume (partition); You can

  increase or decrease its size. On the other hand, takes no action

  and print some info.

  A size of the limits takes no action, but instead will print the

  target range of valid values for the score, taking into

  conditions account file system and partition from the current map

  as files used and other partitions (buildings) following the

  target.

  A size of mapsize takes no action, but instead will print the

  size of the device disc set covering, as well as the

  map of entire partition size (all partitions less map

  (overhead). The whole-disk device may be larger than the by -.

  competition card if the entire disk device has increased since the party-

  tion map was created. More a whole-disk device is possible

  with some drives (RAID) business systems.

  You can grow a volume (partition) (back) to its maximum size

  possible, provided no new partitions have been created, which

  are in the way, by specifying R for the new size of the volume. You

  must use R instead of trying a value such as

  100% because the latter cannot count fresh generals score card.

  To decrease the size, new partitions may be

  created to fill the recently released space.  To do this, specify

  the numberOfPartitions, format, name, and size settings in

  the same way as the description of triplet for the

  partitionDisk verb.

  Resize a volume that is currently defined as the computer

  Startup disk will invalidate this setting; use the Startup

  Disc Bless or system preferences panel (8) to reset the

  resized volume as the boot disk.

  Device refers to a volume; file system of the volume must be

  logging HFS +.  Valid sizes are a number followed by a capital

  Letter from Tal multiplier or percent sign suffix as described in

  the section SIZES at the end of this page (e.g. 1-5 t, 128 M,

  50%).  Property of the disc is needed.

• Invisible BootCamp partition, I can't access or delete!

  So to start with, I try to install 10 Windows from a USB on my computer with bootcamp (I use OS X elcappitan). So, I followed the normal steps for installing windows via bootcamp 10 as get the iso file on my usb key (which is 8 GB) and make the score for her. But after having going through this process (and once I open the installer of windows 10) I get to the part where you have to choose your partition to install windows 10 on and I do not see the "BOOTCAMP" partition.

  

  So I cancel the configuration and return to my main user and when I enter disk utility, THERE AGAIN, I don't see the partition, Bootcamp done for me! It stinks because I put a good 90 GB on my 500 GB hard drive in that partition.

  One thing is that when my bootcamp was just about to finish creating the partition, I received a message for a fraction of a second saying something like "your mac has / restarts unexpectedly" or "without cause." He wasn't there long so I don't take everything, but I want of maybe my mac restarted to "a reason any ' during the last seconds of the creation of the partition, which makes the incomplete partition and/or currupt? If so, and for this reason my 90 GB partition is invisible, how would I be able to find it and remove it to do a fresh reinstall?

  That's what my main hard drive looks like atm... sound literally saying that my Macintosh HD occupies 100% of my HDD 500 GB, yet when you look at how much he was in fact, it is said that it occupies only 409,53 GB of space! Which proves that the Bootcamp partition is STILL too much space on my drive hard but at the same time, not to show. My main goal would be just to delete this 90 GB bootcamp partition entirely.

  

  Im very bored with cela and essentially spent a WHOLE DAY trying to fix it myself with other similar solutions, online. Hope someone could give me a solution or even just something to try to correct this :/

  Thanks for reading my report.

  The alternative method faster, simpler and more secure to reclaim your disk space is

  1 backup OSX and all of your files - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support .

  2. boot into Internet recovery (CMD + Opt + R) - OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support .

  3. click on Utilties-> disk utility and erase your entire internal drive.

  4. restoration of OSX and your files - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support .

  This requires another external drive that can accommodate TM backup - backup disks that you can use with Time Machine - Apple Support .

  It takes a while to do it this way, but it is less compared to the diskutil methods labour intensive.

• OSXRESERVED do not deleted after installing Windows with Bootcamp

  I installed Windows 8.1 and upgrade to Windows using Boot Camp 10.

  I think that the normal procedure for installation (instructions Apple) should be:

  -Boot Camp will partition the original HDD system to:

  -Partition OS x 'reduced '.

  -OSXRESERVED partition to save all the installation Windows 8.1 or CD ISO.

  -TRAINING camp of hard drive where the final installation of Windows will be.

  -Once installation is complete (it took about 5 hours!) so it should be reconfigured by boot camp would exist only two partitions:

  -Partition OS x 'reduced '.

  -BOOTCAMP with Windows OS HARD drive.

  But I still 3 partittions in my MAC PRO END of 2013: OSX, OSXRESERVED and BOOTCAMP.

  So now, when I boot my MAC PRO instead of see 2 possibilities of OS (OS x and WINDOWS) I see three possibilities (OSX, WINDOWS, and WINDOWS again), and the third possibility is wrong, it will show the original installation Boot CDROM instead of Windows 8.1

  I hope that I have explained clearly (...).

  Second part of the problem: I want to use VMWARE FUSION and configure it to use the Bootcamp partition as a virtual machine (YES, with the MERGER it is possible to use as virtual bootcamp, then you can start your Machine Windows within the MAC, or boot from the beginning). The problem is that the MERGER will detect the OSXRESERVED partition, but not the BOOTCAMP partition... So I can't get it to work until I have the first problem...

  Would you please be so kind as to help (I would like someone to really expert Apple could give a solution).

  Best regards

  Francesc

  1. you can remove OSXRESERVED manually using disk utility.

  2 VMWare seems unable to distinguish between the installer and install BC. Once you delete OSXRESERVED, it should work fine.

• Can't find/delete Bootcamp Partition

  Tried to use bootcamp to create a partition for my copy of windows, that I just got. He was suspended for a while creating the partition, so I force-quit it as several users online said to try to resolve the situation. Tried then to find and delete the partition, he tried to create. Ended up crashing the disk utility or something so I force restarted the computer to see if that helped. Now I can't find the partition on the disk utility at all, it shows the drive as having 1 TB less than expected (the size of the partition, I created or attempted to create), and he does it for some reason, introduce yourself when I press 'alt' on my keyboard on the computer.

  Is there a way to delete this partition and try this again without any reformatting my hard drive and restore from backup? I have a time machine backup, I don't want to wait 12 hours for 1 TB of data to be transferred...

  Please see the solution in doesn't have windows via bootcamp 8.1 installation .

• Windows 8.1 with Bootcamp installed in El Capitan. Do not delete with Bootcamp so I used the disk utility. Now, Windows always tries to start with an error, the 'other' space illustrates.

  Long story short, I installed windows 8.1 using Bootcamp, went very well. I was just curious how it would go.

  in any case, tonight, I decided to delete the Windows partition (Bootcamp Partition), and I got an error in Bootcamp that says "sorry couldn't do Mac OS partition a new»

  With that I went to the disk utility and tried to partition the disk on a partition again, which it did, but now I have 40 GB of "other space". I literally have nothing stored on this computer, until I installed Windows 8.1 which was not there.

  Also, when I start it up I always get Windows start first if I do not hold Option, then it goes to the blue screen, obviously because he's not here.

  I started to recover, tried to fix it, verify, erase free space, etc.. I'm running a MacBook Pro 13 "128GB 2015.

  On a Mac of 2015, the disc is divided into a group of logical volumes and Volume for OS X, and a partition for Windows. If BCA fails to restore it correctly, the part of Windows do not get properly gathered in the LVG/LV. The other questions you have, it's that there are remnants of the Microsoft your EFI partition Boot code.

  To solve both, the easiest and safest method is

  1 backup OSX and all of your files - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support .

  2. boot into Internet recovery (CMD + Opt + R) - OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support .

  3. click on Utilties-> disk utility and erase your entire internal drive.

  4. restoration of OSX and your files - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support .

  This requires another external drive that can accommodate TM backup - backup disks that you can use with Time Machine - Apple Support .

• VM installed Bootcamp, I can delete bootcamp?

  Hello

  I installed the virtual machine of windows 7 Bootcamp.

  I have little space so I can now delete partition bootcamp and simply run the virtual machine in vmware?

  or do I have to re - install everything again like new?

  Thank you

  No do not remove the boot camp partition unless you have imported using the merger. For more information about the import of a boot camp partition, please see this article for more details:

  Import of Boot Camp

  Once the boot camp is imported, you can remove the boot camp partition and use it on mac.

  If you have any free space on the mac partition you must use the external storage device to import. Once imported directly on your external storage device, you can remove the boot camp and transfer the imported on Mac VM.

• 4K @ 60 Hz fichier_ecriture deleted on the bootcamp driver update?

  Hello, I currently have a 2015 Macbook pro with a M370x AMD 10 under bootcamp with the graphics driver 6.0 Windows Update installled.

  I am running a LG 27UD68-P on the mini display port with an adapter Club3D HDMI 2.0.

  This will run out 4K @ 60 Hz very well on Mac OS X and same bootcamp without updating to 6.0 graphics driver was last updated.

  Now that I've updated, my refresh rate is only limited to 30 hz, even if AMD Radeon is the maximum resolution supported and the refresh rate is 60 Hz 4K.

  I've updated the graphics card drivers previously using the method of unofficial workaround for the AMD driver version, but I re-installed Windows since then and you just want to know if it is possible with the latest updated version? If this is not the case, what would be the next driver update be scheduled for possibly?

  Thank you.
