forming the partition windows on iMac

I used disk utilities to form a new partition on my hard drive. It was a partition and is 4 TB. I wanted a small windows partition to be able to use other software. I managed to divide the partition, it is 3.95 TB for the iMac and the other partition is 50 Gm and is formatted as MS_DOS (FAT). How can I use this score to give me windows or do I have to use bootcamp and after partitioning reinstall my os system and then install windows.

Thanks for any help, even if you confirm that it can be the way I am.

1. in what year/model is your Mac?

2. what version of Windows you want to install?

3. you want to BCA allows you to create a Windows partition. Manual partitioning works with specific versions of Windows on Mac models after end of 2013.

4. what version of Mac OS X on your Mac?

  • Problem with external HARD disk - cannot mount the mac partition and can't unmount the partition windows

    Hi all

    Need your help. I have problems with my external hard drive. I worked on it yesterday when the cable is a little detached and disassembled my intestinal HARD drive.

    Here are the specs:

    1 Macbook Air 11.5 "running on El Capitan (10.11.1)

    2 Buffalo Ministation external (1 TB) HARD disk divided into two: a Mac partition (for time machine) and the other a windows on FAT32 partition.

    Before the accident yesterday, it was working OK.

    Now, when I connect the HARD drive, it turns on but the Mac partition cannot be mounted (it does not appear on the Finder. I opened disk utility... just load forever and does not work) and the Windows partition is visible... but I can't take it apart without turning my computer.

    I can assemble and disassemble a USB stick very well.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Maybe you can explain a little better.

    I would like to make some general comments before having your replay.

    It is not wise to use TM on a disk with apple unformatted or partitions, it is preferable to have a dedicated TM drive also.

    For TM, the rule is that the drive is about 3 times the size of the boot disk.

    Normally you 'survive' a good step disassemble the drive external, but in this case with a another partition formatted on this subject, I'm not sure if that do not corrupt the disk, especially since the Windows partition is bootable. I have suspct the partition GUID on the TM partition table is corrupt.

    I propose to start the disk completely: in DiskUtility select the 'higher' level (name of manufacturer) and the Partition, one OS X Extended (journaled) partition table Partition GUID. And use it only for TM, is not too big for this.

    Have another drive formatted NTFS for Windows.

  • More space for the partition windows 10

I guess so worst cases and that the bones disappeared and I wanted to increase the size for windows. I don't know how to do this with any access to the operating system.

  • GUID of the Partitions, Windows 8.1 & El Capitan

    Hello

    I have a mid-2011 MBP 17 "El Capitan 10.11.3 running. I have a 1 to SSHD I partitioned in 850 GB OSX Extended and 150 GB NTFS for Windows 8.1 installation. I used to partition this drive, as my BC does not seem to give me other options than to download the software updates (...?). I used MBA 2013 my girlfriend to create a USB bootable Windows 8.1. When I start my MBP with alt / option, I select my drive EFI. I go through the installation of Windows 8.1 and reached a point where I have to select a different drive to install Windows on my internal SSHD. I can't select a partition as it is said that these partitions are MBR and I need them to be TPG to install Windows. However, when I boot into OS X, readers say that they are in fact GUID partition tables, and I don't have an option to change them.

    I read a few different solutions including disabling SIP, but I am a little hesitant, as I am not aware of exactly what this does.

    Can someone help me install my version of Windows 8.1 on internal partition, while maintaining my OSX on the SSHD so partition?

    Thanks in advance!

    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Uninstall and reinstall the Bootcamp files in the partition Windows 10?

    Lonely T had a suggestion regarding a previous post, but I had already looked at the post, he suggests consulting, with no luck.  No further response.  So I try another tack before coming back to Win 7.

    I upgraded partition Win 7 Ultimate to win 10 Pro 10 days and installed drivers 8.1 on Macbook Pro 17 "early 2011."  Apple does not support Windows 10 on these machines, although many noted that they have been able to install it using 8.1 drivers - as I did.  Everything works in win 10 EXCEPT:

    1. by logging into my account, sometimes, the computer crashes because it loads the thumbnail of the bootcamp Control Panel, which gives a BAD_POOL_HEADER BlueScreen, after what win 10 restarts.  It is possible, of course, that the problem lies in fact in the attempt to load another program.  However:

    2. when the loading of the miniature of Bootcamp not breaks down the computer, trying to get access to the control panel often crash to give up - again - the BAD_POOL_HEADER blue, followed by an automatic restart screen.

    All drivers are 'best machine', etc.  Memory - 16 GB - is fine and has no problem under Win 7 or OS X 10.11.3.

    Version of Bootcamp 3.0, which is what has worked with Win 7, although there are newer versions.

    I guess this isn't a common problem.  Any suggestions on what can be done before I abandon Win 10 and return to Win 7?  I am even willing to uninstall Bootcamp in the Win 10 score and try to load it using the automatic installation of 8.1, but not heard about someone who has tried this and had success with it.  (I love 10 and am tired of being told in Win 7 that I should update to Win10.  "But I don't want to waste time with nuisance Bootcamp crashes at 10).

    The Intel GPU drivers seem to cause a lot of grief on Mac before 2012, when executing W10.

    1. can you check if the Windows installation is EFI (use msinfo32 and look at the Mode of BIOS).

    2 W7 is usually installed using old BIOS/MBR on Mac 2011. The hardware exposed through the layer of CSM-BIOS is not the same as that exposed through EFI. For example, the layer CSM cache the Intel GPU integrated. You can check what cards you currently have in the Device Manager? Please also check devices hidden using view-> the box show hidden devices.

    3 W7/W8.1 drivers are not different from the BC driver packages 5.x series.

    4 W10 has a more rigorous application of the drivers and does not load the unsigned drivers that have been allowed in W7/W8.1 5.x series.

    5. the W8.1/W10 BC6 drivers series is necessary.

    6. you need not install drivers BC6 and he just use generic Windows drivers, but some of your specific Apple hardware does not work the same OS X and W10 using this approach.

    7. most of the users have installed individual pilots as a solution, in some cases using administrator rights and compatibility mode.

    8 event Viewer would be the best place to search for the driver that caused the exception.

    9 automatic update of Windows seems to be broken in W10. It installs drivers that are appropriate for your hardware, but these accidents cause drivers, reboot, BSOD, etc..

  • My HARD drive with the partition windows broken.

    Hard drive broke into the windows partition with it. Would not be bad except the sticker to activate windows on the bottom is almost rubbed raw. I don't see a password required. Is - this here anyway to recover lost password? Always have computers SNID if that helps.

    You could try to start from a repair or install the drive and do a repair.  If this does not work and you do not have a backup, you must contact your computer manufacturer, whoever it is.

    When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. 1.5 TB external hard drives is approximately $90 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

    http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

  • How to format the partition Winfows 7?

    I have Windows 7 on my main partition and Windows 8.1 in the logical drive. Now that I don't need Windows 7, I would like to remove it from my PC. But nor removal of partition from disk management does not (quick format) the Win 7 partition formatting works. Now how can I format the Win 7 partition and use it for other purposes. In addition, there is a way to convert the logical Partition primary and vice versa?

    Hi Sujan,

    If you delete the primary partition, leaving the logic, the system cannot start because the main partition contains the MBR file.

    I suggest you to improve the Windows 7 partition (which is a primary partition) to 8.1 Windows.

    Note: You will have to reinstall applications.

    Once upgrade has completed, you can copy the data that is in your Windows 8.1 drive to another drive, and you can format the partition Windows 8.1.

  • delete the partition after a failed installation of windows 10

    Hello world

    How is it possible to delete partitions, if in disk utility, there is no possibility to click on the '-' key?

    So I made a failure (several) attempts to install windows 10 on my new iMAC.

    I could download an ISO of windows and start the bootcamp assistant.

    In the last attempt of last night, I selected the bootcamp in windows installation partition, however, installing windows said it was impossible to read the hard drive.

    I then re-formatted this partition (BOOTCAMP) in the installation of windows, and after that, still could not read.

    Then, I deleted the bootcamp partition in windows and re-created a partition on "unallocated space" in the windows installation.

    Installing windows 10 still wouldn't move forward then I've bailed out and went back to OS X with the hope of turning it back on (again) by deleting partitions.

    I was unable to delete the Mac partition.

    Then, I deleted this partition (the one original bootcamp) and reformatted as OS x journaled. At least now, I can see the Partition.

    However in Diskutil, I was then impossible to delete this Partition. There is also a small partition 16 MB that cannot be erased.

    Wizard bootcamp will be past a pop up station: the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

    So I will now try to delete these partitions (the boy and the training camp original one) merge into the original and give then installing bootcamp, another go when I have a lot of energy!

    any help would be appreciated. I'm a little cautious to use Terminal command lines for fear of ruining my new computer.

    concerning

    Evan

    1. your iMac has a Fusion drive?

    2. don't mix to disk utility and Wizard of BC. They can lead to a host of issues.

    3. If you do not typos in the Terminal, they provide much more rich in detail. You have a Time Machine backup, put in place?

    4 can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?

    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.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/can-i-have-more-than-one-operating-system-on-my-computer-multiboot

    If your hard drive has enough free disk space, you can install a newer version of Windows on a separate partition and keep the earlier version of Windows on your computer. It's called a multiboot or dual-boot configuration. Every time that you start your computer, you can choose which version of Windows to run.

    bought photoshop elements 11 year last for windows and use it in my office. The office is now crashed and not usable. So I bought iMac now.

    A license of Photoshop Elements is good for Mac and Windows, it should be just a matter of download the Mac version and using your serial number to activate it.

  • Is it safe to delete the partition OSXRESERVED? because it is still there after the installation of windows 10

    I recently got a MacBook Pro 15 "2015 model retina running MacOSX 10.11.5 El Capitan.

    My steps for installing Windows 8.1:

    Create a. ISO file from DVD installation disc and save it. ISO on a USB Flash drive.

    run bootcamp and run the. Location of the ISO on the usb flash drive.

    The SSD partition

    and then it reboot and the windows installer is on and I finish installing Windows 8.1

    then the program to install bootcamp drivers intervenes and installs the drivers

    then it restarts and I upgraded towing 10 Windows later and update the bootcamp drivers

    Then I start to Mac OS X, but the OSXRESERVED partition is still there.

    And when I restart by pressing the option key, I see 1 Macintosh HD but 2 displayed Windows disks

    Is it safe to delete the partition OSXRESERVED?  I read online that deleting it will cause 10 Windows do not to start over.

    Or should I leave it alone?

  • Cannot install windows after reset of the partition

    I've literally been sitting to my macbook for the last 10 hours trying to get my bootcamp at work, however after tons of things difficult and research I found online I'm always at a loss. Initially, I had installed windows 7 a few weeks ago for the second time (after that yosemite deleted my previous one during the upgrade) and everything was fine. Then, I took the decision to uninstall my windows because I really wanted to expand the size of my partition, then backed up all my files and used bootcamp to delete windows and re partitioning my hard drive to a single volume. However after this, and then following the same exact steps as before (running bootcamp and sharing in a larger space) once the restarts my laptop that it comes up with the message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key" instead start windows automatically load (as it did before). I've repeated several times in the hope that it would work once however I can't help but feel that there is a problem with my hard drive and when I try to check my hard drive (not the 'Macintosh HD' a top one) sometimes - (I say sometimes because it does not say this error when you try to check) said this :

    I'm really not good when it comes to such things, so this information can be totally irrelevant, sorry! I had originally check my volumes a recovery when yosemite initially deleted to repartition my hard drive and reinstall windows. I really don't know what to do, any help would be appreciated. I have no knowledge in this subject what so ever but I feel that my hard drive is damaged somewhere (even if yosemite still works perfectly and all my files appear to be intact) or for some reason my boot loaders do not work...

    I can provide more information if necessary, but quite frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing.
