Required file Format of Fat32 Bootcamp partition

Here's my situation:

I have a Fat32 Bootcamp partition on an iMac and I want to convert it to a Virtual Machine strictly for use on a new Macbook Pro.

When I try to use the converter, I get the error:

"ERROR: could not make a snapshot of a volume of the source." "Possible Causes include not seen all NTFS volumes on Windows XP or Windows 2003 source systems with no is not enough free space on the disk.

I looked in the manual and couldn't find any mention of the file format must be NTFS in order to be converted.

Before I change the file format can someone tell me that my problem is that it is in Fat32

(I'm copying on a Fat32 USB drive with plenty of space)

Thank you

Converter uses Microsoft's VSS service to create a 'snapshot' of the source that is used for the conversion volumes. This service is present on all systems (windows XP, 2 k 3, starting). For systems prior to this, we use a 3rd instant driver.

VSS requires at least one of the volumes to be NTFS in order to create the snapshot.

  • 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!

    Ditch

    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.

  • Bootcamp partition bootable no more after the addition of another partition

    Until a few days ago that my Bootcamp and OSX worked very well together. When I did my Win10 partition I created it with 64 GB of space. After a while the hard drive became too small, so I decided to add more space to him. The method that I was about to use is: create another partition 64, go to windows, mix two partitions with windows software.

    After you have created the partition, I couldn't open Windows more. First he gave me the infamous "no bootable disc not found" - error and later the Bootcamp partition went in the menu selection that start with alt down. I tried several methods, I saw on the internet, but somehow I can not use the command "write" with fdisk, it gives me this error: "fdisk: / dev/disk0: operation not permitted".

    Another mistake I met is: "fdisk: could not open/usr/standalone/i386/boot0 MBR file: no such file or directory" when you use the command "sudo fdisk e/dev/disk0. I tried this method (the solved by one): repair Boot Camp after having created the new partition and also some methods more I found on the internet, including some methods gdisk. They seem to all fail because the operation is not allowed when using "write".

    A few commands:

    sudo fdisk e/dev/disk0

    Fdisk: could not open/usr/standalone/i386/boot0 MBR file: no such file or directory

  • 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. Former Republic Yugoslav, the machine is a retina MBP 15 "with a 500g SSD

    This link will show you the screenhots of the controls required for the diagnosis.

    http://www.lewallens.com/2016/03/lost-bootdisk-info.html

    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.

  • 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.

    -Adam

    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.

  • Is the Sony KDL-40EX710 supports the file format exFAT for USB drives?

    Hello

    40EX710 USB port, I can see my files on my FAT32 drive, but can not see when I format the drive with exFAT. Support said site, http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/support-info.pl?info_id=799, Sony TVs are also supported formats of exFAT. When formatting the drive with exFAT, Tv does not recognize the drive? Any solution?

    Thank you

    Hi Sinsinati,

    Make sure that the disk is formatted completely to the FAT32 or exFAT. No partition so that it is recognized as both FAT32, exFAT format.

    Check if the drive is recognized in the computer as an exFAT file format.

  • 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.
    I hope someone can help me install Windows 10 with Bootcamp! Thank you very much!

    You have a Fusion drive, which is usually not sold on a MacbookPro? You can check model/year your Mac? Please, do not post the serial number of your Mac.

    If you replaced the optical drive to create your own Fusion player, you can run the questions, depending on the year/model of your Mac.

  • 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.

  • 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

    Bump! Anyone able to offer some insight?

  • Uninstall the bootcamp partition: the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

    A few months ago, I created a Windows 8 bootcamp partition, and then, I updated for Windows 10 without any problem. But I no longer need and I would attribute this space to OS X. The problem is when I try to remove it from the app of Bootcamp, I get this message: "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. »

    It comes to the current state of the hard drive:

    You have an idea? Thanks for the help.

  • 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!
