• Cannot use disk utility to create the partition of the free space on the external USB drive.

  I have a red 3 TB Western Digital drive in a USB hard drive docking station.

  The reader is GPT, and I have two volumes on it (a single volume is "Microsoft reserved", another volume is NTFS).

  The other part of my drive is 1.5 TB of free space. I want to create a new partition with free space so that I can put backups Time Machine encrypted external hard disk.

  I checked free space on the drive with my Windows machine:

  
  DISKPART> list disk

  DiskPart displays 2 partitions - a 128 MB and the other GB 1267 with 1526 MB of free space.

  I took the hard drive of my MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 and pulled towards the high disk utility, but for some reason, that it does not resemble the disk utility it is to see the free space, so I can't create a new volume.

  I'm a new Mac user. My company recently gave me a Mac, so the first thing I want to do is to create a new partition on this external USB drive to put backups Time Machine figures on it.

  In the research I did find a way to do it on a mac computer without erasing the drive and starting over. But you can go to your windows computer and partition the free space of disks. Then use the mac to set the free space as mac os extended journaled. Here's what I found. http://www.PCWorld.com/article/2066191/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive.html the only other way would be to copy the file on the external drive, somewhere, so you can delete it and re partition for windows and mac. Then reinstall windows files. I'm not familiar with windows systems.

• Repair disk utility made innacessable Bootcamp partition.

  My MBP running 10.9.5 has problems, commissioning. I started in recovery and used disk utility to repair my disk. Can be started at OS X very good now, but when I hold down the ALT / option to get the boot options for Bootcamp Windows partition is no longer available.

  When I boot to OS X I see my score and access the files, I'm guessing the only utility of deleted disk the boot partition or something like this.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  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.

• What freeware Windows disk partititionneur can resize accurate partitions of 4 KB (4096 bytes)?

  (I have Acronis backups from before a big system crash and lost the original score, was able to know what he was about to mount a full disc backup image.)  But the utilities that I know work only up to 1 MB or 0.1 MB.  The original is partitioning in part with the Toshiba laptop and pre-installed software, was partly changed later with the Vista Disk Manager and is not clearly on the limits or 0.1 MB.  I get an MBR error if I restore a system on a partition that does not match the size exactly and do not want to treat /fixMBR every time).

  Hi Rogerbelling,

  It's Windows Vista community responses. It sounds like a problem with the Acronis backup software and I suggest that you contact them for the best possible solutions.

• Snapshot before resizing the guest OS system partition, it will allow me to roll back if problems arise?

  I currently have an ESXi Server vsphere 4.0 with Windows 2003 Server comments on that operating system. And just to be clear, this virtual machine is a control area on the network.

  The problem I have is that the system partition (C drive on the guest operating system) is running out of room. I have plenty of room in the data store where the virtual machine, so I added 30 GB drive under disk space commissioning in additional virtual machine settings page. The configuration type is thick. So everything seems to work great so far, I see this space as unallocated within the guest OS.

  After some research, I found several tools that help me to inresizing the system partition to take advantage of the additional disk space. Specifically, I intend to use the dell (ExtPart) DiskExt utility to resize the partition in order to reduce downtime. Apparently, this tool works without restarting the Windows machine.

  My question is, if I make a snapshot before you try to resize the partition of guest operating system, this would allow me to go back and cancel any potential damage that resizing of disk can cause? I understand that I expected to be able to undo a change such as this with a snapshot, I just want to be 100% sure.

  And no, I'm not trying to use a snapshot as a substitute for a backup. I do a snapshot to reduce downtime in case of a problem.

  Any information on this would be highly appreciated.

  I guess I over thought the process a little too, so I tested.  Works like a charm.  extended to the HDD via the vSphere Client, created a snapshot, ran extpart extend drive C:, delete the snapshot.  VM, although not a controller domain and just a test VM, is functional and happy.

• Windows 8.1 with Bootcamp installed in El Capitan. Do not delete with Bootcamp so I used the disk utility. Now, Windows always tries to start with an error, the 'other' space illustrates.

  Long story short, I installed windows 8.1 using Bootcamp, went very well. I was just curious how it would go.

  in any case, tonight, I decided to delete the Windows partition (Bootcamp Partition), and I got an error in Bootcamp that says "sorry couldn't do Mac OS partition a new»

  With that I went to the disk utility and tried to partition the disk on a partition again, which it did, but now I have 40 GB of "other space". I literally have nothing stored on this computer, until I installed Windows 8.1 which was not there.

  Also, when I start it up I always get Windows start first if I do not hold Option, then it goes to the blue screen, obviously because he's not here.

  I started to recover, tried to fix it, verify, erase free space, etc.. I'm running a MacBook Pro 13 "128GB 2015.

  On a Mac of 2015, the disc is divided into a group of logical volumes and Volume for OS X, and a partition for Windows. If BCA fails to restore it correctly, the part of Windows do not get properly gathered in the LVG/LV. The other questions you have, it's that there are remnants of the Microsoft your EFI partition Boot code.

  To solve both, the easiest and safest method 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 .

• 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. »

• How could resize this partition in disk utility? (see image)

  I want to resize the partition selected, but I can't drag it to the bottom.  Any way to resize?

  

  Your screen capture, you must delete the partition OSX 10.9. The space would be free and you can then develop your OS x 10.10 partition or create a new one from the free space. The only one of these two who seem to be able to resize is the OSX 10.9 partition because it has the grab bar (lower-right) and free space further to slide down.

• I can't find "score" in disk utility.  I used it when I implemented the system.  Thank you.

  To resize or add/delete an existing partition without data loss, you need to use, for example, iPartition:

  But first of all it is important that you first save all partitions on a separate volume, any loss of data.

• Recommendation for the 3rd party utility for resizing

  I need to resize the size of my VM.  I am using Windows XP Pro (SP3).  When I saw the KB for 'how to' that's all very clear.  The one hiccup, with XP I use a "third party utility to resize disk partitions", after the VM disk size has been increased. The note with this statement indicated that there are some free utilities for this process.

  Since I'll only do it once, I would have preferred not to pay for the utility, if possible.  All of the recommendations - in particular as not to alter the quality of the 'free' choice?

  the gparted LiveCD should do.

  If you boot in this LiveCD you MUST first change the type of the VM to Linix guestOS - if you forgot that the mouse will be unusable

  don't use PartitionMagic - it's obsolete and dangerous IMHO

• Disk GUID partition? and the new disk utility

  The new disk utility Version 15.0 delivered with El Capitan, differs from earlier versions of disk utility.

  Most will have noticed the absence of the utility to fix permissions.

  However, check the type of disc format is a little more difficult and well.

  The player must be selected, and then the information button must be selected.

  Then, you must look at the "File System" line to see whether or not it is OS X Extended.

  Then you look at the line "Logged" to see if it is 'yes' or a 'no '.

  How do we know if it's a GUID partition or a utility with the new APM partition?

  Sorry to contradict you, but general information about the disks are always where they used to be

  

• In El Capitan disk utility doesn't resize

  Hi all

  I tried to resize (external) hard drive partitioned with the renewed drive to El Capitan utility.

  It was a disappointing experience.

  What happened with the councelling software? It's anything but councelling.

  My 2 TB drive was divided into 2 partitions, data and Time Machine two 1 TB. As already mentioned, it is an external drive, because internal 500 GB SSD is not enough. Some entries in this support site suggest that disk utility works best if you start from a USB key, but I'm sure that's not necessary when you want to repartition a drive non-bot.

  I wanted to make the Time Machine smaller partition (because it safeguards only a small part of the internal SSD, 1 TB is too). After a while, I discovered that this could be done by dragging a small circle in the size you want. So far so good, after application of THE reduced my Partition of Time Machine.

  After a while it was over and I tried to enlarge the data partition. This was not possible. "Slide" was on the wrong side, it could be used to reduce the data partition (and it was almost impossible to touch and not fear..) After a while, I discovered that the free space, I thought I created was actually a new partition. Delete this partition automatically enlarged the partition of Time Machine to its original size. I tried everything I could, but there is no way (I found) I could do this work.

  I use the disk from the command line utility to achieve what I wanted.

  Sorry, but "What you thought Apple?". This isn't what I expect of you. Please, please, deport Mr. Ivy and hire someone who knows that "beautiful!" = good job. "

  TJA Walter,

  Apple is niet alleen gebruikers yesterday.

  I good feedback sturen aan Apple met suggesties of bugs: wordt in ieder is read, maar meestal niet beantwoord.

  Friends: 'clean' dat, dat I ten koste van andere partitie (altijd) niet groter maken good tweede was er ook in of 'oude' DiskUtility.

  I would friends groot mensen: when I merdere partities would is dat 'gemodder' met cirkel irritating en niet erg appreciated.

• Size of the problems after the system partition resizing - are X 201 hard drives using a particular geometry?

  I recently copied my default system hard disk (320 GB / Western Digital) on a larger hard drive (500 GB / Hitachi) which I also ordered through Lenovo.

  Using a disk imager I first copied the old 1:1 the new disk drive. It gave me an exact copy of my original disk, with about 150 GB of space disk unallocated at the end of the training. I then put this copy in the system and it worked very well, I could start and work at it.

  -With the help of Acronis Disk Director 11 - I moved the hidden partition Lenovo restore to the end of the new drive, and then finally I expanded the system partition to fill all the available space before this recovery partition, giving me a system about 430 GB drive.

  These operation seemed to go very well at everything first, but in the end I got an alert that something had gone wrong and now the disk may be corrupted. Strange, I was able to boot from the disk and everything went well in the beginning but in fact - I now have a very weird problem: when you look in the Panel-online-online disk management management system all partitions are located and that I had the intention of size. The recovery partition (~ 17 GB) is at the end and the system partition is indicated as approximately 430GB and about 60% vacuum. Explorer Windows, however, always reports the size of the old partition (~ 280 GB) and only 10% of empty space, while if there is no resizing the partition space taken.

  In other words: different parts of Windows 'see' and report to different partition sizes. Running chkdsk does not resolve the issue.

  I then realized this phenomenon in the Acronis Disk Director forum and some guys Acronis replied, that problems of resizing and therefore also the difference could be due to the fact that IBM/Lenovo uses a geometry to non-standard head of 240 heads instead of 255 heads. ????  I then asked for details and - if possible - instructions - how we could solve this problem, but got no further response so far.

  Any idea what he's talking about? Lenovo indeed uses some non-standard disk or geometry? I would have thought, that the access disk is the disk drivers? Lenovo have to do here? Or BIOS of the device involved here?

  And finally: has anyone some experience with this problem and can give an idea how to solve this problem? I'd really like to * hate * restart everywhere have to reformat the hard drive and reinstall everything again!

  Michael

  Thanks for this info!

  I'll try to get my wrecked HD using the Paragon suggested partitioning program and I guess, I'll also try to get a refund on DiskDirector 11, since the site explicitly, it is fully ready Windows7, which obviously isn't!

• Disk utility was unable to repair the Time Machine USB2 external HARD disk partition?

  Hello.

  My client has problem with its USB2 500 GB Seagate FreeAgent Go since early 2010. There 2 partitions: FAT32 and HFS (for most Time Machine backups). After connection and enter its password valid successfully, it takes a minute to set up, and then a message that says "OS X cannot repair the «...» "You can still open or copy the files on the disk, but you cannot save changes to the files on the disc. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can. "I ran disk with their verification utility. Both are problems with "invalid sibling link" and said the repair option. However, this repair option is grayed out.  So, is it not possible to fix it with free software on the disk except for the reformat?

  I used two different 15 "MacBook Pro (Mac OS X v10.8.5/Mt. mid-2012 lion and v10.10.5/Yosemite of the early 2013) with the same results, is not the MacBook Pros. http://imgur.com/a/OW0s6 for a couple screen
  s (shooting/capture) of Mac OS X v10.10.5/Yosemite. I also tried disk on its FAT32 partition checks, and found minor problems. They were repairable too unlike the encrypted HFS partition.

  Thank you in advance.

  Disk utility can't repair an error of invalid sibling link. You use Disk Warrior that assuming that the disk is always good. Otherwise, you will need to save what you can then reformat the hard drive. Exactly what the error message said.

• How can I display the partitions hidden in the new disk utility?

  Yosemite (10.10) and previous versions of disk utility, I was able to activate the debug mode display the partitions hidden recovery via a Terminal command.  However, in El Capitan (10.11) the terminal command does nothing.  So, how display/display the partitions hidden in El Capitan?

  I am using a disc external HARD for a diagnostic tool and I don't want the scores of recovery on the outside so that I have save space.

  in Terminal type

  diskutil list

  This command is always the same in ElCapitan.
