• Can't find/delete Bootcamp Partition

  Tried to use bootcamp to create a partition for my copy of windows, that I just got. He was suspended for a while creating the partition, so I force-quit it as several users online said to try to resolve the situation. Tried then to find and delete the partition, he tried to create. Ended up crashing the disk utility or something so I force restarted the computer to see if that helped. Now I can't find the partition on the disk utility at all, it shows the drive as having 1 TB less than expected (the size of the partition, I created or attempted to create), and he does it for some reason, introduce yourself when I press 'alt' on my keyboard on the computer.

  Is there a way to delete this partition and try this again without any reformatting my hard drive and restore from backup? I have a time machine backup, I don't want to wait 12 hours for 1 TB of data to be transferred...

  Please see the solution in doesn't have windows via bootcamp 8.1 installation .

• VMWare Fusion 3 is not reconizing my BootCamp partition

  Hello!

  I would like to install Windows 7 on my NTFS HARD disk partition. It's cut as follows:

  "Windows" (disk0s2) partition: NTFS (cut with disk using NTFS - 3 G utility)

  "Mac HD" (disk0s3) partition: HFS +.

  I can't use BootCamp Assistant because my disk is already cut.

  And because I had problems to use it (with a disc with 1 single partition HFS +, I couldn't create a BootCamp partition, and I have enough space on the disk), I have not use it again, if I can.

  The problem is that my NTFS partition is not "recognized" as a bootcamp partition.

  I already have this before on my previous HARD disk, but at least my score has been recognized by VMWare Fusion.

  I have already tried these 2 things:

  -Boot on the Windows 7 installation DVD and format the partition

  -Format the partition to FAT32 using disk utility and appointing "BOOTCAMP".

  Thanks for helping!

  OK, the good partition tables.

  I re-read your original message, and it seems that you have not installed Windows again, are - this correct?

  Fusion displays only the Boot Camp virtual machine, after installing Windows (it checks for the presence of the necessary boot files). So if the partition is empty, it would be logical that the merger is not show it again.

  Just go ahead and to install Windows on that partition, then restart in Mac OS, and the merger is expected to see the Boot Camp partition and create the virtual computer to it.

  It is possible to install Windows 7 on the NTFS partition within the merge (rather than start from the installation DVD Mac), but it involves a bit more work to manually set up the virtual machine.

• Invisible BootCamp partition, I can't access or delete!

  So to start with, I try to install 10 Windows from a USB on my computer with bootcamp (I use OS X elcappitan). So, I followed the normal steps for installing windows via bootcamp 10 as get the iso file on my usb key (which is 8 GB) and make the score for her. But after having going through this process (and once I open the installer of windows 10) I get to the part where you have to choose your partition to install windows 10 on and I do not see the "BOOTCAMP" partition.

  

  So I cancel the configuration and return to my main user and when I enter disk utility, THERE AGAIN, I don't see the partition, Bootcamp done for me! It stinks because I put a good 90 GB on my 500 GB hard drive in that partition.

  One thing is that when my bootcamp was just about to finish creating the partition, I received a message for a fraction of a second saying something like "your mac has / restarts unexpectedly" or "without cause." He wasn't there long so I don't take everything, but I want of maybe my mac restarted to "a reason any ' during the last seconds of the creation of the partition, which makes the incomplete partition and/or currupt? If so, and for this reason my 90 GB partition is invisible, how would I be able to find it and remove it to do a fresh reinstall?

  That's what my main hard drive looks like atm... sound literally saying that my Macintosh HD occupies 100% of my HDD 500 GB, yet when you look at how much he was in fact, it is said that it occupies only 409,53 GB of space! Which proves that the Bootcamp partition is STILL too much space on my drive hard but at the same time, not to show. My main goal would be just to delete this 90 GB bootcamp partition entirely.

  

  Im very bored with cela and essentially spent a WHOLE DAY trying to fix it myself with other similar solutions, online. Hope someone could give me a solution or even just something to try to correct this :/

  Thanks for reading my report.

  The alternative method faster, simpler and more secure to reclaim your disk space is

  1 backup OSX and all of your files - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support .

  2. boot into Internet recovery (CMD + Opt + R) - OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support .

  3. click on Utilties-> disk utility and erase your entire internal drive.

  4. restoration of OSX and your files - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support .

  This requires another external drive that can accommodate TM backup - backup disks that you can use with Time Machine - Apple Support .

  It takes a while to do it this way, but it is less compared to the diskutil methods labour intensive.

• Bootcamp deleted missing partition, but can not recover the partition space

  Tried to install 10 Windows via Bootcamp on my Mac. First, I formatted the bootcamp partition. Then I got the following message: could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup logs files.

  

  I tried five times with Bootcamp installed Windows 10. Then I advice to delete the partition and create a new. So I did. Still did not work. When I rebooted my mac, 50 GB missing as you can see here:

  

  I tried to restore the partition, but there is no possibility to do so, as you can see here:

  

  I read so many posts that I don't know what to do anymore. I don't mind factory reset my macbook, but it will restore my lost partition as I probably only erase the 450 GB instead of the 500 GB SSD?

  I read in several messages (this one in general: Bootcamp Partition missing during startup) that this information might be required, so I added from the outset:

  diskutil list:

  

  Cs diskutil list:

  

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

  

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0:

  

  
  

  I hope someone can help me restore my 50 GB, I lost. Even once, I do not fear factory reset my macbook if that's the best way to solve this problem!

• Bootcamp partition does not appear at startup

  Hello

  I'm on iMac 27 inches, end of 2013, and I have a problem. A week ago I tried to clean my mac and start from the beginning. Because my mac has been very slow. Then I do what it takes. So, apparently, I erased all macintosh hd and leave bootcamp partition. So I used for a while because I was tired. And yesterday I don't know what I have everything in the bootcamp partition and recovery of mac has just finished after 4 hours I was relaxing and wanted to extend my bootcamp 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

  Off topic: should I upgrade to el capitan and yosemite? Or leave it as Mavericks?

  Thanks for your replies!

  Hello waynetay,

  Thank you for being part of the community of Apple!

  Looks like you want to recover the hard disk space that has been used by Bootcamp.  I know how critical disk hard space is, as I understand it want to access it.

  The Boot Camp Assistant should have added space on the side of Mac OS X from the hard drive when it has been used to remove Windows.  Since that didn't happen, you need to back up the system, and then erase the hard drive, then restore the backup.

  First, back up the computer.  Your computer has software called Time Machine.  It is a fantastic software for backing up your computer.  Information on how to use Time Machine is available here:

  Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

  Once you have the backup, you must erase the drive and then restore the backup Time Machine.

  You can use these measures to erase files on your startup drive and install a fresh copy of OS X:

  1. Before you begin, make sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet.
  2. Restart your Mac. Immediately hold down the command (⌘) keys and R after having heard the startup sound to boot into OS X Recovery.
  3. When the recovery window, select disk utility, then click on continue.
  4. Select the volume name back from your startup disk in the left side of the disk utility window, then click Delete.
  5. If you want to erase the disc safely, click Security Options. Select an erasing method, and then click OK.
  6. On the Format menu, choose Mac OS extended (journaled). Type a name for your drive, and then click clear.
  7. After that the drive is deleted, close the disk utility window.
  8. If you are not connected to the Internet, select a network in the Wi-Fi menu.
  9. Select the option to reinstall OS X.
  10. Click on continue and follow the instructions on the screen to reinstall OS X.

  Once OS X installation is complete, you should have the option to restore from a backup Time Machine in the first installation of OS X.  Choose this option, and the computer will restore everything that was on it before it has been removed.  More information can be found here:

• How can I delete a partition? Standard procedures do not work

  Hello

  Context:

  MacBook Air (mid 2011), version OS X El Captian 10.11.4

  128 GB SSD into a 70 GB partition (OS X el capitan, the name is "Macintosh HD") and a 50GB partition (used to be bootcamp, name is now 'B'). The 50 GB partition needs to go.

  I erased the 50 GB for OS X extended (journaled) partition, but when I click on the partition, I still can not remove it (the infamous "less grey", see picture).

  I can resize, Macintosh HD remains to 70 GB and a third made partition which in turn can be eliminated, but the space that he released is allocated in B again, which does not solve anything.

  

  By restarting on recovery mode and using disk utility it has not allowed for the partition to be removed either.

  As you can see from the image above, I also did an eDrive, where I still can't delete the partition of 50GB.

  Note: Filevault is turned off.

  I feel pretty silly since I managed to do it before on a previous version of mac OS... (at the time where I had to enlarge the bootcamp partition, but to do this I had to remove everything first, because of its format)

  Help me, apple community, you're my only hope!

  I believe that when you create a Boot Camp partition, it had to be removed using Boot Camp Assistant.

• Can't see the BootCamp partition or delete it

  So last night I installed Windows via BootCamp. When I started in Windows Installer I couldn't install it because 'the disc selected GPT partition style'.

  I start again under OSX and was ordered to the disk utility to format the partition, BootCamp to ExFAT, but I do not see this partition.

  

  I thought again the whole process and delete the partition with the Boot Camp Assistant, but it gives me this:

• 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.

• Cannot delete the Bootcamp partition after erasing it

  Hi, I did not read on BCA before I went into disk utility and erased my bootcamp partition.

• Bootcamp partitions not bootable with iMac 2015

  Hi guys,.

  I tried to install boot camp on my iMac (late 2015, Fusion drive) without success.

  • Download a picture ISO of Windows 10.
  • Point the wizard Boot camp on the image.
  • Create a partition for Windows.
  • Click install and wait until the end.
  • Restarting the computer but boots directly in OsX.
  • I can see that a new partition has been created with the fat. But it is not present when you start 'startup disk '.

  All the tutorials and guides on the net seems to focus on the use of USB sticks to accommodate the installation of Windows, but I can understand, with the new iMacs installation of Windows is supposed to be hosted on an additional partition. I do not see such a partition.

  Anyone have better luck than me?

  Use the official guide Apple - https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/assistant/6.0/ .

  You must make sure there is no storage devices external or connected hubs.

• 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.
