Cannot run in Fusion Bootcamp partition after restoration

Running VMware Fusion 2.0.4 on MacBook Pro, OS X 10.5.7.

My HD failed recently, and I had to do a restore from a backup.  Everything works fine, except the merger won't start my Win XP Bootcamp partition.  I get the error

Cannot open disk ' / Users/cyoder/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 specified file is not a virtual disk.

So is it possible to recover it?  I don't see anything obvious in the file to edit to make it work.  Any help is appreciated - thanks.

Note: These senses are different which have already been posted so read and follow through... Note: These steps assume that you have a single Apple to default installation of Windows on a single Boot Camp partition and Boot Camp of VMware Fusion single default partition Machine virtual (without a snapshot *) and if you have changed the partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Machine package virtual first. * Also note that Fusion 2.0.0 may accidentally have a snapshot with the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine and it should not have, then you should check to ensure that the condition does not exist as well. (With merger closed if the partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine package is over 1 MB in size, then you might have a snapshot in place and do not continue with these instructions.)

===

1. If the merger is open, close it.

2. in a Terminal (/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste command, as the following and then press Enter and it will delete the partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine of the metadata and the Virtual Machine to help.

Note: This does not affect the Boot Camp partition install windows in that it does not remove it.  Also be sure you copy all the command line below, as well as, "RM" at the beginning of the ' (quote) after the s in the Machines. "

  • Cannot run VMWare Fusion on Mac 10.9.4 6.4

    I use Fusion for some time on my Mac (Mavericks 10.9.4). Recently, when I went to launch Fusion 6.4, I received this message:

    Cannot run VMWare Fusion

    VMware Fusion is damaged and cannot be repaired. Please move the VMWare Fusion application to the trash and reinstall VMWare Fusion

    So, I removed the merger application and downloaded again. When I installed it, I got the same message. Well, I thought that this must be one of these 'hidden' files, see you must be corrupt, so I used App Zapper to get rid of the merger and all files related; emptied the Recycle Bin, so merger was gone, gone, gone. Uploaded a new image, the same thing!  No matter what I do, I can't use Fusion. Suggestions?

    Do not use Zapper App - merger, running specific uninstall scripts.

    I've seen that occur when get-Gatekeeper confused about how something has been installed, when permissions are confused, or when a hard drive is running out.  If you have VMWare Fusion and have installed and it run under an administrator account (default in OS x unless you change it), then first use disk utility to first 'check disk' (if you want something better, look for smart voltains software utility), then repair permissions.  If this does not work, try to right click on the merger in the applications folder, and choose open.

  • Lost bootcamp partition after you use diskutil to resize

    Hello

    I was little Yosemite when I resized (shrunk) my partition apple to increase the size of my bootcamp partition using disk utility. I studied the problem and understand the limits of partition are not correct on my bootcamp partition.  Using this thread as my main guide

    https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/6465316?TSTART=0

    I went through the steps and got the boot to a read error trying to start on the bootcamp partition.

    In osx, disk utility displays the bootcamp partition, but it is always grayed out and right-click to mount displays an error when you try to mount.  I understand it, conceptually, what I do, but I don't know enough details to understand what I'm doing wrong.  Here is information and links to screenshots of error messages, etc.   I would greatly appreciate any idea. Former Republic Yugoslav, the machine is a retina MBP 15 "with a 500g SSD

    This link will show you the screenhots of the controls required for the diagnosis.

    http://www.lewallens.com/2016/03/lost-bootdisk-info.html

    In addition, I had bootcamp windows installation USB key that I was going to start, from the discussions around the read error.  I couldn't accomplish that, as when started the USB, the display depending on whether you get after you choose the language and keyboard is not the screen where you can choose the Startup Repair, but the first screen of the windows installation.  Interestingly, with the same USB stick plugged into a mac mini without bootcamp partition, boot/repair screen comes up

    Thanks in advance.

    How to resize my bootcamp partition without deleting chtol

    However, according to Apple, you may use any software other than Boot Camp to resize the partition.

    Boot Camp: resize the Windows partition (told to uninstall Windows and resize all reinstall)

    Boot Camp: install Windows on your Mac (also indicates that you can not resize the partition once Windows is installed)

    In addition, Windows and Mac OS X must be backed up separately. Time Machine does not back up windows partition, so if you ever have a problem and the need to restore your computer, you would lose the Windows files.

  • 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.

  • Running from a Bootcamp Partition vs virtual disk

    Is there an advantage to run Windows 7 from a vs Bootcamp partition a virtual disk image?

    I started to use a virtual disk image and just created a Bootcamp partition and added to the merger.  Things seem to be quite a bit faster using the Bootcamp partition.

    Is this the case in general?  Just curious to know what others have experienced.

    Thank you!!

    It is normal that you feel.  Realize that a VM is running "virtual hardware", which is generally not as fast that runs the operating system directly on the physical hardware.  Think of it as speaking through a translator.  There is a 'delay' for the message to be delivered. Take a look at the frequently asked Questions on VMware Fusion, about halfway down, the section on virtual hardware.

    For Boot Camp however virtual, take a glance to choose the settings of VM right.  Among the main reasons to use one or the other would be the advantage of the speed of Boot Camp against the convinience of not having to restart the Mac or the ability to run several machines against virtual simultaneously only running an instance of Boot Camp.  (e.g.: simulate an entire network, with the file server, web server, mail server, etc., with just one physical machine.)

  • Cannot get rid of bootcamp partition

    Hello

    I screwed up trying to clear my bootcamp partition. I went to the disk utility and erase all data from the partition. What I should have done was go to the bootcamp assistant and erased it from there. So now when I go to the bootcamp assistant, to erase the partition is greyed out. I have backups before and after this error. What should I do?

    I el capitan and a 2013 mac air.

    The solution incase everyone made the same mistake.

    1. go to disk utility and click on the primary partition for the division of camembert

    2. Select the windows partition and set the volume at MSFat

    3. now go to the bootcamp assistant and delete!

    Any suggestions?

    You cannot save your programs - a clean installation wipe everything from the hard drive.  Programs need to be reinstalled (they cannot be copied or saved) - and you probably wouldn't do anyway because there is a good chance that some of the infected files can reside in these same programs.  The ONLY way to avoid this is to get your hands on a real Windows Vista Installation disc, so we can attempt a repair system/upgrade where your programs will be preserved (and we don't know yet if that will completely solve the problem of infection but it probably will restore the functionality at least for a certain period of time).

    Sorry for the bad news, but that's just how it is.

  • Can't see the data partition after restoring the system

    Hello.

    I had installed Windows 7 on my computer and I had two operating systems of windows operating system. And I wanted to boom volume but I couldn't and I downloaded a program and crashed my both operating systems. And after that I used the hp recovery cd use cmd, System Restore. And after that, I got all the workers. But now I can't see my data partition. I can see the computer Manager, but I can't access it.  Please help Microsoft. :(

    Is the partition on the same drive as Vista?  If so I would try to extend the Vista partition to include the space in this partition "missing."  Maybe this process will add space on your system drive, and at least you will have access to it (even if it is not a separate partition that you wish).  I don't know if this will work if the system is not seen as a partition, but I guess it's worth a try.

    After that, my only suggestion is to backup your data and do a clean boot from the drive and format the drive and reset the partitions in the installation process.  This should solve this problem.  I wish I had a less drastic recommendation, but honestly, I know of no other way to solve this problem (if it does not solve the problem).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Windows 7 VM ACTIVE NO BOOTCAMP PARTITION

    Hi people,

    I can boot into Windows 7 Pro, which is located in on a Macbook Pro bootcamp partition and its active, but when I try to run VMware Fusion 3.0, this is a no go.  I can not activate the virtual machine running on the bootcamp partition.  And VMware Tools is installed. Is there any solution for this?

    TIA

    What you have said it's a matter of Microsoft like any merger can and will do is to manage the database of WPA, once you have enabled under the two Boot Camp and as a Virtual Machine but it is all the Fusion can do and another while WPA is a Microsoft technology is between you and Microsoft.

  • Uninstall the bootcamp partition: the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

    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. The problem is when I try to remove it from the app of Bootcamp, I get this message: "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. »

    It comes to the current state of the hard drive:

    According to this page, it is because of Windows recovery partitions added during the 8 to 8.1 migration and 8.1 to 10.

  • 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).
