• The El Captain deleted my Windows partition and I can't get the rear space.

  Hey guys. After the upgrade to El Captain, I recently discovered that my Windows partition has been erased for some reason I don't know. I thought it was ok, that I would be re - install again, but I met some difficulties. In the tab "about this Mac" storage, there is no acknowledgement of the 60 GB drive I've used for windows and for Mac I have only 430/500 GB max, which means that the 60 GB is still a stranger in the car. I opened utility disc (image below) and as I thought there is a 60 GB named Untitled drive I can not recover when I try to partition the hard drive. Moreover, as you can see, the drive is not on the left side.

  I'm really new to technology and not great with following the complicated steps, so if someone could help me with this is a simple but effective, way that I would be more than grateful!

  

  El Capitan Upgrade can cause problems with Windows installed. It may still be recoverable.

• Cannot use the Windows Partition

  So, I have seen very similar messages and followed several forums, but I can't yet figure out what to do next.

  I have 8.1 Windows on my Mac.  I wanted to repartition the Windows partition and make bigger it because I was running low on space, and the Windows partition is what I use it mostly for graduate studies.  About a year ago, I took an easy youtube video and used Mini Wizard Partition re-partition space and it worked perfectly.  I have found the same video and tried to repartition the Windows partition again, but apparently I royally screwed up.

  My BootCamp is not yet visible more in disk utility.  Under the partitions, there is an option called "disk0s4" greyed, but I'm not allowed to do something with it.  I can't verify or repair.  If I go to Applications, BootCamp Assistant is there, but he wants me to start the installation of BootCamp.  It was not an option to restart Windows more, and when I turned on with alt + market, Windows was not an option more.

  I followed this tutorial:

  http://nerdr.com/bootcamp-partition-lost-repairing-Mac-partitions/

  and when I restarted my Mac, restart Windows was an option. So I thought that I fixed it! EVIL.  My screen was black and said: 'Missing Operating System '.

  I downloaded EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac (because it was another suggestion), and I was able to recover and see the files on the NTFS disk0s4, so I'm quite positive, they have not all been completely erased.  Or at least the part of basic Windows is still there.  I can't recover the drive to anything, because it tells me that I will just be fitness on the same drive, and I honestly don't know how to retrieve these files will help with the side of the partition of things.

  I also used TestDisk and it seemed to find my missing partition, but in the middle of analysing it, it says something like "disk too small."  After further research, I went through and took only the most recent score that seemed to be deleted with NTFS, and when you are trying to do, it would allow me to make a 'logic' partition because he said something in red, as 'bad file.'

  My Mac still works perfectly, but I'm terribly need to recover my windows.

  Here are my findings from a similar position:

  Now, my major dilemma is that in the original post, he said to the partition of the hybrids with the numbers of 3-4-5, but I was unable to do so.  When I tried 5, he said "partition does exist or is too large."  So I used the 2 3 4 numbers.  Now, I'm at the point where I use the w command (to write), but I don't want to do it if I didn't the other steps correctly.

  1 mini Partition tool is very dangerous and should never be used on a Mac, in particular, more than once.

• Disk space lost because of the boot camp windows partition

  Hello world

  I have a problem with my macbook. Once a decide install windows via boot camp. Everything is ok, I'm going to star boot camp, create the windows (100 GB for windows) partition and start the installation of windows, in windows, I format partition windows by tutorial in the site of apple and windows install beginning... after that windows displays errors that can not install windows, so a cancel every thing a restart of the mac (I'm told that I can't live without windows) , so I started mac and I watch my drive. I have 500 GB SDD, mac shows me normally of 500 GB, but the tape drive shows me only 400GB. I understand that the missing 100 GB is the windows partition, but it is now. I can't find this partition, or disk utility, or normally. Boot camp can not boot because error boot camp startup disk cannot be partitioned etc..

  A few ideas how to run boot camp with this problem or how can run windows install without boot camp to try install new windwos? Sorry for my English and thank you for any response.

  After you delete the BootCamp partition, you must use the disk utility to resize the OS X partition.  The partitions will not resize itself automatically, you must open disk utility and manually resize the partition to use the full capacity of the drive.

• I'd be able to do a clean install of El Capitan * without * destroy my Windows partition?

  I bought this media 2011 27 "iMac used earlier this year as a refurb from a dealer. It came with El Capitan installed, but I have the feeling that they had a facility upgrade compared to a clean install. The computer suffers from slow start and loading slow program (but once it loads then its fine). It's the same with my old iMac when I did an upgrade to Leopard years ago snow leopard, and erase the disk and performing a clean install OSX (and put files and programs back with Time Machine) has solved these problems then. So I thought it wouldn't hurt to try a clean install on this machine.

  But read the tutorials I noticed that if you are not the first owner of the computer, then you cannot install updates OSX without resetting the computer? Although I WAS able to install the OS via the App Store updates (and I thought that I linked my Apple ID to the machine when I put initially in place), won't install not mean I should be able to clean, or it will have to be completely reset?

  Yes, I've run disk utility and checked my HHD drive, it works fine. The entire machine is nice and quiet, not making abnormal sounds or perform exceptionally, it's just really the slow start in OSX and slow loading programs that are the problem.

  I also recently created a Windows partition and installed Windows 8.1. It starts and runs decently faster than OSX, so I think it's just a problem with OSX and not the HHD himself and do a clean install will be hopefully solve problems. This computer has given me a lot of grief, creating a partition to install Windows 8.1 (unlike my old iMac) so wouldn't really really really have to wipe the HHD together to "change the property" and having to mess with which once again...

  It 'sounds' like since the app store IS letting me install OS and updates to program with my Apple, I SHOULD be able to start in the RecoveryHD Partition and ID here to make a new install of Mac OS x on * just * my existing Mac partition. And this should not erase my * any * HHD, just the Mac partition. I'll save my whole Windows partition just to be safe, however. I could not find a guide which deals specifically with only reset the OSX partition and not wipe out Windows in the process, so I want to make sure I have my facts straight. I had planned on OSX reset and then restore my files with Time Machine. However, I also want to assure you that this will allow me to go even and reset the OS in the first place, given that I am not the original owner of the iMac and I don't know if they reset it correctly.

  Sorry for the extremely long question and TIA!

  Open the Mac App Store, make sure that you are signed in with your Apple ID and click on the purchase tab to see if El Capitan is associated with your Apple ID. If this isn't the case, you will need to download it so it will be associated with your Apple ID. If this is the case, you are all ready.

  Are updates to OS X, not the buyer, so you can install all the updates, but the OS needs to be associated with your Apple ID.

  I'm not sure about Windows, how did you install Windows? With Boot Camp? You should be able to clone on another drive (if you have one) using Clonezilla. Then wipe and reinstall El Capitan and put in place the Boot Camp partition and clone back.

• Question of partition: partition and narrower than the disk space

  Hi, I have a big problem with OS X El Capitan 10.11.3.

  I used to have a Windows partition with bootcamp which I deleted via bootcamp, but it crashed.

  I lost all my partitions and even os x. I have therefore started in recovery mode and launched disk utility, I could not create a partition OS X 90Go on my 120 GB SSD, and I installed OS X on it. Once installed, I have tried to maximize the size of the partition in disk utility to the actual size of the SSD, but it wouldn't work. Worse still, it actually shows my OS X partition a 60 GB instead of 90... (we also say that change log has not been activated, I allowed him but nothing happened)

  How can I make my OS X partition as big as my SSD?

  Here are some pictures of the utility disc and occupied disk space.

  

  Try to launch the Boot Camp again to see if it will delete the partition. It acts like it doesn't have.

• Windows Partition deleted w/Win7 - Win7 are now activated on another computer?

  I have a full commercial copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, which was installed on a partition on a laptop, I have used for several years.

  After the upgrade to Win10 end of last year, the Windows partition has started having so many problems that I've regressed to Win7 (using the tool provided with Win10). But once this has been done, the restored Win7 installation was so bollixed upwards it would not not even start with reliability. So (not needing more) I just reformat the Windows partition and put something on it.

  Now, I want to sell my Windows 7 installation media and key. I have questions about the following:

  1. because I didn't have the ability to disable Win7 on the old computer, will he be able to be installed on a new? Or is the key now considered "in use" until I got disabling?

  2. If the key is still considered as being used, how do I get the key made usable again?

  Thank you!

• I resized the Partition Mac to make more space for BootCamp and now Windows will not boot

  On a collague MacBook Air running 10.11.4, we used disk utility to reduce the Mac Partition so that we could then use a Windows tool to extend the BootCamp partition. However, upon restart, we got a BACK screen with the error that Windows cannot start because it cannot find the boot device.

  Help, please?

  This is not a mechanism supported by Apple to change the size of the Windows partition. Apple supports the remove/reinstall only.

  By adding a third partition you have damaged the boot loader. If you use Boot Camp to run Windows, so you cannot add a third partition. To set things straight, you will need to repartition the disk to a single partition and try again. A $20 alternative that might work for troubleshoot you is Paragon CampTune X.

• 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.
