• Bootcamp Partition is corrupted or missing.

  Hello

  Update to windows 10 birthday and it seems that my bootcamp partition disappeared completely, I have a fusion of 2 TB drive (end of 2015 iMac) with partitions divided about 1 TB each. Bootcamp cannot see the windows partition more able to reclaim that space. OSX (10.11.6) works well however as a 1 TB fusion drive. Disk utility only sees the drive 1 TB as well.

  Either way, I want to recover Windows, or reclaim space for OSX without a reinstall full Mac OS x if it is possible? (Will reinstall windows if I can reclaim space)

  Bootcamp:

  The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

  The startup disk must be formatted in a single volume in Mac OS extended (journaled) or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows.

• Startup BOOTCAMP partition problems

  Hi, I've seen a few posts that are very similar to mine, but I can't seem to get to the bottom of this issue. Here's the background on what happened:

  I ran El Capitan on a single OS X partition and decided to run Boot Camp Assistant and install Windows 10 on a new partition. It worked perfectly, and I have been using Windows and start back. So, I decided that I would create a new partition for easy sharing files between the 2 BONES using a Fat-32 file system so that the two operating systems can have read/write access. I did it with the disk sideways utility Mac and everything seemed to go smoothly. Also, I don't touch my BOOTCAMP partition, but took all the space for the new partition on the side Mac. Everything seemed fine... until I tried to start again under BOOTCAMP. Now this partition is not recognized as bootable, but it is accessible from the side Mac and everything seems intact.

  I ran the command diskutil list and here is the result:

  My theory was that because the BOOTCAMP partition moved from 4 to 5, this confused sort of things. I decided that I loved not more to have the shared partition, so I erased it. Then I tried to delete this partition, but I am unable to do by using normal mode or recovery disk utility. I tried to disassemble and then delete in both modes. I scoured the internet looking for a solution and I am completely stuck. This seems like it should be a super simple solution, but it is frustrating that I can't understand it. I don't think that I've damaged or corrupted something and I just need to be able to start in Bootcamp.

  Help, please!

  Thanks in advance!

  Still have not solved this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

• Problem loading my BootCamp Partition after the partitioning of the disk again

  Hello

  I have a problem that I can't find everywhere are talking about here. Everything worked well. My BootCamp partition ran out of space. I wanted to increase the size of the partition, because I really have a lot of space on the Mac side.

  I ended up searching and following the procedure here:

  https://discussions.Apple.com/message/24377993#24377993

  "1) back up all your files (optional, but highly recommended)."

  (2) using the disk utility OSX resize MacintoshHD partition unallocated space leaving as much as you need to add to the bootcamp partition.

  (3) set the Bootcamp startup disk and restart the mac.

  (4) in Bootcamp with Windows running launch Mini Partition tool and select the bootcamp partition.

  (5) choose the option "expand" to extend the partition using all unallocated space.

  (6) the program prompt restart you the mac to apply the task, the cause is not possible while the partition is mounted and windows running.

  7-restart the mac and then automatically Mini Partition tool will do the job a form of "graphics like msdos. »

  I'm in step 3, and that's when I started to have a problem. I resized my Mac partition to have about 100 less GB. Did step number 3, but I got this black screen that says something along the lines of "bootable device found - no. Insert the diskette and press any key any." You know, the message that is displayed when the software that allows the system to boot is not found.

  I had to restart, and then press and hold the option key. It's weird. My Mac partition looks great, but the BootCamp partition isn't here. I loaded the side Mac upward, and I can still see my Bootcamp partition in the finder window. I can go in, see all the files and everything. I always choose Windows as my boot target drive. It just won't load.

  How can I fix?

  1 Please take the Mini tool. It's a total disaster. Should be prohibited on Macs.

  2 Please after the release of the following OSX Terminal commands. Do not change the disk partitioning any further.

  diskutil list

  Cs diskutil list

  sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

  The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

• Impossible to install 10 Windows on Bootcamp partition

  #1

  Hello! I just tried to install Windows 10 on my Macbook with a 32 GB USB using Bootcamp. Everything was fine until I came to the part where I have to choose the partition where I want to install my Windows 10 and of course I chose the Bootcamp partition, but in fact I couldn't click on 'next' (I was so stupid and don't format it).
  So I just format the Bootcamp partition and when I tried to click 'next' he just told me 'we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. I went through google and searched all regarding this problem and there are a lot of guys having almost the same or exactly the same 'error' when trying to install 10 Windows on the Bootcamp partition, but nothing has really helped me. I deleted everything except my USB key and someone told me that I should only have 4 partitions or less.
  He shows me the 4 partition but there are two partitions (3) and two partition (1).
  Is this a problem?
  Here is a picture of my diskutil list: https://i.gyazo.com/f554fb8aac609c2420f55f9696fa06a6.pnggiven that English is not my native language, I'm sorry for my bad spelling.

• Bootcamp partition Windows will not start since WinUpdate

  I'm working on a MacMini (mid 2011) on which a bootcamp partition has been installed. I had to work on windows update etc...

  So I did update from our wsus server, and then restart Windows, windows no longer starts. There was a line of white underscore flashing on a black screen.

  I tried to see if the Mac partition (10.7) was able to start. It has been altered too, but I was able to reinstall it.

  __

  on windows, I followed these instructions: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4936761?tstart=0

  To do this, I created a USB bootable key WIN10 (regardless of the Version of the OS in this case), I started on it to access the repair menu. Here, I opened the CMD and had results of the thesis:

  
  x:\sources>cd c:\ 
  
  x:\sources>Bootrec.exe /Fixmbr 
  
  Operation succeed 
  
  x:\sources>Bootrec.exe /FixBoot 
  
  Operation succeed 
  
  x:\sources>Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd 
  
  Number of windows installation identified : 1 Add the installation to boot list ? : O 
  
  Asked System Device not found. 
  

  I assumed it was due to drivers for windows compatibility. (something like record of $ $WinPEDriver), but no idea how to put them on my bootcamp partition, previously never worked with bootcamp.

  I should also mention, I tried a classic Windows repair, he told me that my windows partition has been locked. I assumed it was a problem of version of bootcamp. I've updated everything on my mac partition, but he found no update for bootcamp. Right now I'm preparing a bootable usb key with both 'iso' and 'windows compatibility modules' activated with bootcamp assistant.

  I don't know when it happens, but now, when I try to boot on my bootcamp partition, there are only blackscreen (not slider more). But also, my screen flashes as if he finally gets the signal just before the black screen.

  I need your help for:

  -Fixed problem starting Windows partition, OR...

  -Give me a way to get the activation key for the license of the installed windows (without starting it (if it exists)), so I can reinstall it correctly.

  Thanks for the kind help and forgive my bad English.

• Bootcamp partition extended, now cannot start Windows

  Hi all, hope you can help. Running Windows 7 on Bootcamp partition. OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 on the other side.

  Needed to make Windows larger partition to install away from port, although comments, not sure that all this pain is worth it. That's what's happened so far:

  1. I enlarged the Bootcamp using disk utility partition

  2 restart the computer and now the Alt key, I could not see the usual option to start the Windows partition.

  3 then I read that I had to go to the preferences system and make my boot drive Bootcamp, I did.

  4 but on reboot, I get the error message "no boot device - insert the diskette and press any".

  5. isn't a step 5. The hope that you could help me find one.

  Thanks in advance for any wisdom.

  How to enlarge a Boot Camp partition is either:

  a. assistant Boot Camp use to remove Windows and refer the reader to a single partition. Then reinstall Windows using Boot Camp Assistant by specifying the size of Boot Camp, that you need for now.

  b. use CampTune, a third-party application, to resize one already set up to the Boot Camp partition.

• Shrinking Bootcamp partition and add space for Macintosh HD

  Guys, after helping me with my previous question, my Macbook is almost as I want it to be. As said, I have a Macbook Pro 15 "retina end 2013 with OS X El Captain (later) and in addition, a Bootcamp with Windows partition 8.1." It's that everything works fine now, but the partition Windows 8.1 has 300 GB and my score only 80 GB hard drive Macintosh.

  I wanted to shrink the partition, Bootcamp in Windows 8, 1 with Minitool Partition software but, obviously, when I reduce this score I get unallocated space that I can't turn into a new partition because I have 4 partitions in the MBR slot. So, what is the best way to reduce my Bootcamp partition and add space on the Macintosh HD partition?

  Thank you very much!

  Remove the Boot Camp partition, and Windows using Boot Camp Assistant. Then start to affect the size of the Boot Camp partition you want.

• 10 Windows Bootcamp Partition encryption

  Hey all!

  First of all, thanks for any help that anyone can provide!

  I've been digging around online for any help regarding encrypt the partition 10 Windows on a MacBook Pro.

  From what I've read online, it seems as if the OSX partition is encrypted with FileVault. the bootcamp partition will break (failed to connect to Windows plus). If the BootCamp partition is encrypted by BitLocker; the OSX partition will break (unable to connect to the OSX partition).

  If the statements above are met, the more desirable (and apparently the only viable solution for my situation) is to recreate the BootCamp partition to be primary (take up more HARD disk space, leave 5 to 10 GB for OS x), install Windows 10, encrypt the drive with BitLocker and never connect to OS x again.

  This line of thinking is right? It's a bit difficult to find information about this specific set of scenarios.

  To help, here are my requirements "in stone":

  • I need Windows 10, cannot work without it
  • I would like to OSX, but can do without them.
  • I can't change the laptop or hardware, the MBP is my only option
  • I need to encrypt my daily driver must be

  A few months ago, I created a Windows 8 bootcamp partition, and then, I updated for Windows 10 without any problem. But I no longer need and I would attribute this space to OS X.

• Bootcamp partition is not as boot drive, after running bootcamp to install Windows 10 on MacbookPro 15 "El Capitan running

  Hello

  I'm trying to install 10 Windows on my Macbook Pro. I followed this guide, but I am stuck between steps 3 and 4. In disk utility, I see that the bootcamp partition is created, but it does not appear as boot drive. I also tried to start my mac while pressing the option key, but still it will not show.

  See below for a screenshot that shows the current state of my machine.

  

  

  

  How can I continue to install 10 Windows on my Mac?

  Your BOOTCAMP partition internal not yet have Windows installed on it.  If you're between steps 3 and 4 (the installation procedure standard), your, assistant Boot Camp should automatically rebooting your computer after partitioning, from the installation media (Windows 10 CD), you must have created.  I assume that you already have a Windows 10 installation disk.  Make sure that the disc is inserted when you first enter assistant Boot Camp and you let the computer restart on its own.

  Apple instructions are a bit vague (somehow I'm not surprised).

  Watch (time code 04:26 - 09:15) in next video for instructions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SxA_OsPEgk).

  Good luck.

• Bootcamp partition bootable no more after the addition of another partition

  Until a few days ago that my Bootcamp and OSX worked very well together. When I did my Win10 partition I created it with 64 GB of space. After a while the hard drive became too small, so I decided to add more space to him. The method that I was about to use is: create another partition 64, go to windows, mix two partitions with windows software.

  After you have created the partition, I couldn't open Windows more. First he gave me the infamous "no bootable disc not found" - error and later the Bootcamp partition went in the menu selection that start with alt down. I tried several methods, I saw on the internet, but somehow I can not use the command "write" with fdisk, it gives me this error: "fdisk: / dev/disk0: operation not permitted".

  Another mistake I met is: "fdisk: could not open/usr/standalone/i386/boot0 MBR file: no such file or directory" when you use the command "sudo fdisk e/dev/disk0. I tried this method (the solved by one): repair Boot Camp after having created the new partition and also some methods more I found on the internet, including some methods gdisk. They seem to all fail because the operation is not allowed when using "write".

  A few commands:

  sudo fdisk e/dev/disk0

  El Capitan requires SIP should be disabled in the local food only, otherwise these operations fail. You cannot use Fdisk to correct this problem. You need GPT Fdisk (Gdisk) to rebuild the MBR hybrid. Please see Re: [help] can't start Windows (8.1) after resizing partition for example.

• Bootcamp partition disappeared after fdisk commands

  Hello

  I have a serious problem caused by my own stupidity,

  I tried to resize my partition, bootcamp, with no success, of course.

  Here is what happened,

  I resized the MAC OS X partition and made a new 100 GB. Then I tried to restart Windows that did not work.

  A black screen appears not saying no device found Boot... Insert and press a key.

  I rebooted to mac OS X and searching the forums, I ended up find a thread of a few years.

  He said try a few commands to disc, I did, it didn't work. Then I have a little "creative / reckless" and tried between the two commands.

  I guess I deleted or seriously damaged my MBR, although it could be a TPG. I do not know.

  Now, I can't see my Bootcamp partition in the finder.

  I see the size of the partition in the disk utility application, if I look at the full hard disk partition scheme

  

  It's the score 'Naamloos' is where bootcamp has been stored and as you can see I can't access it or what so ever.

  However in the terminal, I can see the partition

  

  My question is, if I can restore this partition?

  And if not, I can see the data on that partition?

  A lot of work not saved is there and final exams are almost!

  I'm sorry for the post probably not correct 'according to the rules of the forums"and the faulty use of the language and the incorrect spelling.
