• How to extend the partition C on Satellite L450 - 17K

  Hello

  I'm working on how I can change the size of the partition on my hard drive my C drive is nearly full, and D is a pain to keep anything on that most of what I have links to my Ipad that does not detect it when its on drive D!

  Is there anyway to delete the partition or change the size of it without losing my data or having to restart my system?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  It is possible to change the size of the partitions in the management of the disks in win 7.

  But you will not be able to shrink the partition D and add this free space on the C partition using the Windows option because the free space would be created after the D partition.
  To move the free space between D and C partition a 3rd party software is necessary.

  I recommend the use of a tool called * GParted.*

  It s freeware and you can use it to manage your partitions on the HARD disk.

• How to undo the Partition of the disk on El Capitan

  Hello

  I have a disc of SSHD TB 1, I had been running on my Macbook 2009 6.1 for on a few months or more.  Because I wanted a partition to use Time Machine, I had partitioned the drive by on 50-50.  Things have been working quite well until I recently made the mistake of trying to resize the partition and accidentally created a new partition (which I didn't).  Is it possible to cancel the new partition (as do not have here in the first place) and that the primary drive where I start with about 700 GB and "partition" I want to keep to 300 GB (so I can use Time Machine to back up the main drive)?

  I tried to find "logical volume" or the "+ -" options on my disk utility interface, but they are just not there for me to use.  This computer is running on El Capitan.

  Thanks a lot for helping me.

  Certain rules and conditions apply. Most of them are described here:

  There is also a second disk within OS X Recovery utility, not

  all the old Mac running OS X can have it; then move forward with caution:

  • The OS X recovery - Apple Support

  For system user backup copies, duplicates, clones and etc.

  on external hard drives, is usually another way around catering to go

• How to join the partitions in an external hard drive?

  I have an external hard drive. Empty, but divided into two partitions. (I see two drives)

  How can I meet two partitions?

  I tried using the disk utilities, but I got the message that I couldn't change the partitions.

  (In Dutch: "Deze kan niet worden gewijzigd partitie"; in English, something like: "this partition is not editable")

  What is the procedure that you follow?

  1. Select the disk in the sidebar that contains the partition you want to enlarge, then click on the Partition.

  2. in the list of available Partition, select the partition in the partition you want to enlarge, then click on remove.

  The partition is immediately erased, leaving the space it occupied available.

  3. resize the partition by doing one of the following:

  • Drag the separators between the partitions in the list of available Partition.

  • Select a partition in the Partition layout list, and then enter a value in the size field.

  4. click on apply.

  Disk utility (Yosemite): partition a drive

• Seagate drive back up the partition problem

  Hello

  I have a problem with a Seagate drive on my mac.

  The drive is 1 TB and I formatted into 2 partitions: 1 exFat and 1 for Time Machine. All worked fine for the last 2 years, but now when plug the drive into my mac it loads only the partition exFat (I can access the content of it.).

  Backup partition isn't appearing any more. I tried to open disk utility, but it won't let me see my discs, while the Seagate is connected. (I thought about it when I unplugged the Seagate drive, everything is back to normal).

  If I want to eject the disc it will freeze it and drive the LEDS will not stop fashing until I take out the usb cable.

  Experienced this kind of problem?  I would be very grateful if you could help me.

• 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?

• EL Capitan - impossible to resize the partition in disk utility

  I'm having a problem with resizing the partition of my drive (background: I have 2 partitions, 350g for mac and 150g for bootcamp) I want to resize the mac one in order to free up space.

  in normal startup, disk utility tells me target disk is too small. startup recovery, he says 'successful' but nothing happens.

  any tips?

  See this topic Support of Apple

  Disk utility (El Capitan): partitioning a physical disk

  'Expand volume '.

  If you have several volumes on a device, and one of them is running out of space, you will be able to expand without losing the files it contains.

  To enlarge a volume, you must delete the volume that comes after him on the device, and then move the end point of the volume you want to enlarge in the freed space. You cannot expand the last volume on a device. »

• Bootcamp for repair after the partition

  Hello

  I've done research on how to repair the bootcamp partition, but it seems to be that everyone either has corrupted the partition is before El Capitan and the old disk utility or had more than 4 GPT. While on my own, I have 4 partitions and all my files are readable on osx

  When I boot in windows (select the startup disk Bootcamp) I am satisfied with the legendary "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".

  

  

  Is anyone able to find a reason why it is not booting?

  Assuming you have a Mac which is 2014 or more, and the version of Windows is W7/W8.1...

  A. we need to disable SIP.

  1. boot in local restoration (command-R).

  2. start utility-> Terminal.

  3. type csrutil disable in the Terminal, and then press enter/return.

  4. type csrutil State.

  5 start normally, then type csrutil status to confirm that all of the individual entries are still disabled.

  B. fix the Windows MBR Boot-ability entry. Please ignore the i386 MBR error message, but not others

• 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:

• How to make the partition of Seagate backup so the Macbook Air?

  I just bought a Macbook Air 13' 2015, I have a seagate external hard drive backup 1 TB plus all my files in it, coming from windows PC and I switch to Mac, when I try to make a partition in disk utility, I can't select an option for partition, its greyed, but I can read/write because of the Paragon for Mac OS driver I want just a partition on my mac with Time Machine backup, but I can't use my external drive for Time Machine it will erase everything on my external hard drive. Thank you

  Unless you need to keep the Windows files you put on the disk and copied to the computer, then I suggest that you simply re - prepare the drive for use on Mac. Because the drive has been formatted on a Windows system you cannot partition via the Mac. But you can re-prep. disk using the partition scheme GUID for the two partitions and format of one of them for MS-DOS or ExFAT using Windows. But as I said earlier, if you do not need to use Windows and want to use for the backup on the Mac, then he prep exclusively for Mac. Use Time Machine backup requires a volume that is at least 2 or 3 times the capacity of the computer HARD drive.

  Drive partition and format

  1. Open utility disk from the Applications\utilitaires folder.
  2. After disk utility charges select the drive (entrance Out-bumpy with of the mfgr.) ID and size) in the list to one side.
  3. Click on the Partition or delete tab in the toolbar utility of disc that is activated. If both are enabled, then choose clear.
  4. Adjustable circular diagram to set the number of partitions if you want more than one. Otherwise leave the default of one.
  5. In the Group dropdown set the GUID partition scheme. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
  6. Click on the apply button and wait for the fact button to activate.
  7. Quit disk utility.

• 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.

• 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.
