Resized partition Boot Camp, now cannot start Windows

I have a MacBook Pro (with the retina) with a 128 GB SSD which was, until recently, evenly divided 50-50 between Mac and Windows 8.

However, I need more space on the size of Windows, so I reduced the size of the Mac partition to 40 GB and then, because for some reason I couldn't expand the Boot Camp one, I had to create another partition that I could use to put my stuff in side Windows.

I did this via Windows.

I now, weeks later, started in Mac for the first time since, and now I can't get back into Windows. The partition is not present on the desktop, or in the boot disk utility.

Output of gdisk:

Can anyone help please? The partition is obviously still there, but I can't work on how to make it reappear in the startup disk!

  • Bootcamp partition extended, now cannot start Windows

    Hi all, hope you can help. Running Windows 7 on Bootcamp partition. OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 on the other side.

    Needed to make Windows larger partition to install away from port, although comments, not sure that all this pain is worth it. That's what's happened so far:

    1. I enlarged the Bootcamp using disk utility partition

    2 restart the computer and now the Alt key, I could not see the usual option to start the Windows partition.

    3 then I read that I had to go to the preferences system and make my boot drive Bootcamp, I did.

    4 but on reboot, I get the error message "no boot device - insert the diskette and press any".

    5. isn't a step 5. The hope that you could help me find one.

    Thanks in advance for any wisdom.

    How to enlarge a Boot Camp partition is either:

    a. assistant Boot Camp use to remove Windows and refer the reader to a single partition. Then reinstall Windows using Boot Camp Assistant by specifying the size of Boot Camp, that you need for now.

    b. use CampTune, a third-party application, to resize one already set up to the Boot Camp partition.

  • Resized Partition Boot Camp, is no longer work

    I used the Tune Camp to resize my Boot Camp partition, which worked very well.  I can boot into Mac or my Boot camp.  But when I tried to load my partition Boot Camp in Fusion, I got an error message stating that I had to "remove my hard drive and then add it back."

    So, I went into the settings of for my Boot Camp in merging partition and removed my hard drive.

    But now I can not add it again.  I do not know how to proceed, and Fusion does not start from my Boot Camp Partition not more because he does not see any hard drive.

    Can anyone help with this?  Or, can anyone describe how can I say merge to re - install my partition Boot Camp, or re - initialize somehow?

    The following has not been updated for Fusion 3, but is still applicable in what to do as much as to try to correct the situation.  Because you used a third-party tool 3rd you can have inconsistent information between GPT and MBR and could require techniques advances in recovery of preforms however try which is below first.

    Note: These senses are different which have already been posted so read and follow through... Note: These steps assume that you have a single Apple to default installation of Windows on a single Boot Camp partition and Boot Camp of VMware Fusion single default partition Machine virtual (without a snapshot *) and if you have changed the partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Machine package virtual first. * Also note that Fusion 2.0.0 may accidentally have a snapshot with the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine and it should not have, then you should check to ensure that the condition does not exist as well. (With merger closed if the partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine package is over 1 MB in size, then you might have a snapshot in place and do not continue with these instructions.)

    ===

    1. If the merger is open, close it.

    2. in a Terminal (/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste command, as the following and then press Enter and it will delete the partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine of the metadata and the Virtual Machine to help.

  • Boot camp does not start windows 7 alley

    I have the following Setup: Windows 7, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 and Boot Camp.

    After the start of Mac I can't get back into Windows more. Now the ALT/Option key does not work, I do not receive the start of disk icons, he begins just to Mac every time. Configuration screen/boot that Mac disks is also visible.

  • Update interrupted - now cannot start Windows

    Hello

    Completely new to this forum and in the world of the system recovery / technical questions will therefore be very grateful for any help that you can offer but please keep clear answers.

    I am running windows 7 on a Samsung laptop about 3 years. During the last weeks I had problems with the battery. When not plugged in the laptop sometimes turned off and the error messages pops up saying occasionally replace the battery. I now only use it plugged into the mains. However, yesterday, when I tried to stop, windows installed updates and the wall socket, broke off. To my horror, the computer turns off so that the update (1 of 31).

    Now, I can't start windows. See below what I tried so far without success.

    Tried to load Windows normally. Key start-up windows screen and then error blue screen and restarts.

    Tried to select recovery at startup option. Through repair screens. Asked if I would restore the system to an earlier era. Tried by selecting Yes and no at this point. So yes, message says not able to repair and asks if I want to send an error message. In the absence, said also unable to repair.

    Tried to start in safe mode. As above - will from the screen windows and error, then blue and restarts.

    Tried to insert the Samsung recovery cd. When the computer starts. Press the key to load from cd. This goes to a windows install page (select language, etc.). Seems to be saying that if I do that I'll lose files?  So not go one more away.

    Have you tried pressing f8 and repair different, but process as well as above - unable to repair.

    I myself am kicking to not fix the battery problem, but I never thought it would happen. In any case, I have a recent backup of most of the files, so not a total disaster, but I would like to save some recent if possible files. The only other option I see is to remove the hard drive and buy a USB connector stada (?) and try to transfer as an external drive. How difficult is cela and what connector do I need? Understand you can not recommend a product, but is there something specific I should look for, and what are the differences between the cheapest and most expensive? Are there more reliable / brands of higher quality that I should look for? Also, if I do this, can I then replace the hard drive and reinstall windows, and it's going to work?

    I have no knowledge of the BIOS so not sure I can try relating to the recovery of base?

    Will be very grateful if someone could help it. I can post more detailed error codes / logs later when I'm in front of a computer if you need.

    Hello

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community and your efforts to resolve the issue is highly appreciated.

    According to the description of the problem, you cannot start your Windows 7 computer. This could be if there is a corruption of system files or boot files are missing or damaged.

    I suggest that you want to run auto repair with installation media and see if it helps you repair system files or not. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1

    When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    Method 2

    If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool. To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start the recovery Windows (WINRE) environment . To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    3. Click repair your computer.
    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/927392

    Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

  • Computer recently downloaded and tried to run a update and system now cannot start Windows

    As the title suggests, there was a failed an automatic update attempt.  System attempted to automatically repair the problem, couldn't.  I tried to restore to a checkpoint before the update attempt.  This was failed several times.  Each time the system reboots and the tent to start windows but ends with the blue screen crash every time.

    I am able to go into windows in safe mode, but it ends up doing what I was doing outside of windows.

    The blue screen is not displayed for a long time, but when he does has what I think is an error code or something... This code is always the same - as I saw it several times, I managed to write it: 0x0000007F.

    Any ideas?  Help!

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  • partition boot camp disappeared after resizing Macintosh HD

    Hello

    I have a macbook pro with OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.

    I had a windows 8.1 installed on boot camp and ran out of space on windows, so I tried to extend the space by adding a new partition on mac and then merge on windows using the "minitool' but when I rebooted with now that the ALT key was not the boot camp partition...

    I then started the mac and changed the boot disk in boot camp and restarted and it gave me a message "there is no disk bootable..." or something like that.

    It's really important not to lose the windows and more important still do not have to format the new laptop please (because I had a similar problem before Re: Partitioning a Hard Drive Error on MacBook Pro)

    I tried to check for similar discussions but seemed to I'll do it is harder to resolve because I do not understand most of what is said and was afraid to do worse.

    Hello MayMedhat,

    I understand the partition Boot Camp have been adjusted and you are no longer able to access the windows on your MacBook Pro.  Because you cannot access side Windows of your Mac after setting, you must recreate your Boot Camp partition and reinstall Windows on your Mac.

    Set up Windows on your Mac partition

    Change the size of the partition

    It is not possible to change the size of the partition after installing Windows, but you can delete the partition and create a new partition to the correct size. Do not try to resize your Windows partition or a third-party application.

  • Problem with the conversion of Partition Boot Camp

    I would have just dl and installed the trial version of 3.0.  After running and by selecting the boot camp for the boot partition, merge began to 'prepare' the partition for use.  After about 45 minutes, the process had not been completed.  I grew up the activity monitor and found that the process did nothing.  I closed the process, thinking I could start over again at the launch of Fusion.  Wrong, merger saw the partition boot camp into a virtual machine that could not be started.

    Is there a possible way to start the process of 'preparation '?  It is apparently the only way to correct the problem.

    Tried from a support ticket, but could not do while I wasn't a registered owner.

    I'm trying to make my choice between Parallels and Fusion, or just stick with BootCamp.  I hope someone can help me with this problem.

    Harry

    Dear Harry,

    I did the same thing yesterday. My BootCamp partition has Windows XP (SP3) and I also have Parallels. I'm now trying to decide if I stay with Parallels or Fusion 3 (to take a possible advantage over the 64-bit @ Snow Leopard).

    My upgrade was fine, it took about 15 minutes to get BootCamp running on the merger. A small step has been to re - activate my XP with Microsoft license, because the "material" changes. I have the MACBOOK PRO 13 '' 2.53 with 4 GB of RAM. I don't really have time to play yesterday, but between Parallels and Fusion 3, (64-bit), I did not see too much improvement on the 'speed '.

    An advantage of having any of virtualization software, is that you can have multiple operating systems running, such as XP, Windows7, etc. I need that because my work, the developer. If you can stay only with an operating system, I guess, BootCamp works very well.

    Kind regards

  • VMware Fusion 3.0.1 will not partition Boot Camp launch

    Ok. I'm ready to drop Fusion 3.x! That is the problem.

    MacBook Pro (version 3.1), VMware Fusion 3.0.1, Windows 7, Mac OS 10.6.2. I set up a partition Boot Camp 3.0 and installed Windows 7 without any problem. I then installed application VMware Fusion 3.0.1. Started VMW Fusion and tried to start the Boot Camp partition. AHHHHHHHHHH! Following error code appears:

    "Could not open the disk" / Users/xxxxxx / / Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot parition.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. "."

    Reason: The partition table on the physical disk has changed since the disk was created. Remove the physical disk of the virtual machine, and then add it again. »

    I uninstalled VMWF using the uninstall application. So to all the files that I thought may be affiliated. Then reinstalled VMWF 3.0.1. Same error message.

    I have no idea what it is or what it means! Help, please!

    This is not related to the 3.x (for example 2.x will have the same problem). The problem is that the table to partition your drive said he has and the VM wants to use the partition table does not match (maybe because you have migrated from another Mac and have a machine rest of virtual Boot Camp or repartitioned after the Boot Camp virtual machine was created). (UN) Fusion device does not affect the virtual machines, so that won't help.

    Instead, leave the merge and delete the machine virtual Boot Camp /Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp. Then start the merger and allow him to recreate the Boot Camp virtual machine. As your data is on the Boot Camp partition, it is not affected by this.

    Note: This assumes that you have not tampered with the virtual machine Boot Camp to add disks or snapshots or something like that. I don't remember any who never do this, but it is theoretically possible and if you don't you will lose data, so I mention it for completeness.
