Lost bootcamp partition

As he tried to resize my partition bootcamp (and then removal of partition of the said) my worked before Windows partition will be is no longer visible on the startup disk selection screen. I read through some forums for similar problems, but none of them are quite the same and with my knowledge, I am unable to decipher enough to connect the dots. I'm under El Capitan 10.11.2 iMac

I'm fairly certain that more information will be needed, but I don't know exactly what that orders to enter.

EDIT: The Windows partition is displayed in the selection of the startup disk in system preferences. What I meant above is that it appears not all in now alt when you restart.

1. in what year is your iMac?

2 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

sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk1

sudo fdisk/dev/disk1

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.

  • 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.

    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

    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.

  • Bootcamp partition renamed Untitled after starting up in Mac OS

    Can someone help me please?

    I had successfully installed Windows 10 on my Macbook Pro and ran Windows already several weeks smoothly.

    Unfortunately I did a backup of my windows files again.

    Today when I started at El Capitan to connect my iPad to iTunes Windows gave me a message about repair when I tried to reboot Windows bootcamp version.

    He has failed to fix and only gave my an advanced options menu.

    I started again under MacOS to find that the windows partition has been renamed to "Untitled" and that no file was visible in the Finder.

    I ran disk utility and selected first aid on this score, I thought that it was read only to check for disk errors.

    Now when Windows starts it says no operating system available, and utility disc shows 496 GB of empty space on that partition!

    I hope that all my files are lost!

    What can I do to fix the bootcamp partition? I tried to install the bootcamp on USB installation files but cannot boot from USB (does not show the USB)

    Thank you!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

I don't know how, I deleted both the partition boot and forcefully repeat thing of recovery for 4-5 hours. So now I mavericks, disc bootcamp as not a partition and a very weak internet because of the recovery. And cannot choose the startup as a bootcamp drive or can't do anything for the bootcamp partition disk utility... Can you help me? I'm sorry if I could not tell you very clearly

  • 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
