• Tried to increase the bootcamp partition and now Windows will not boot

  I've got Yosemite.
  I wanted to increase the size of my bootcamp windows partition, so I searched for a way online, and I found this video:

  I followed all the steps in the video, but after you have started and to complete the process of the Minitool partition Wizard I got this screen:

  This is what looks like my disk utility:

  It seems that free space is always there

  Is there a way to fix this?

  MiniTool is not recommended because it causes problems and can lead to data loss.

  OS X Terminal please after the release of the following OS X Terminal commands. Enter your password when you are prompted by the command 'sudo '.

  diskutil list

  Cs diskutil list

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

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

  Do not change the partitioning information any more, otherwise, you will lose your Windows data permanently.

• Shrink system partition and the HP recovery partition.

  HP Pavilion dv6560el notebook PC

  Windows Vista Home Premium (original OS pre-installed)

  I want to shrink the system (C partition to make room for a new partition (Z.))

  The new partition (Z will be used to store data.)

  The Windows Vista disk management utility, run as administrator (of course), seems unable to reduce the system (C partition ("Access denied" error), both in normal and safe mode.)

  The same failure by using the "DISKPART" utility via the Windows Vista command prompt (run as administrator, of course).

  In order to facilitate the task, is seems (surf the web) which is the procedure to follow:

  -start the computer pressing F8, then enter into the Windows recovery environment.

  -log in as an administrator (of course).

  -Open the Windows Recovery Environment command prompt.

  -use the "DISKPART" utility in the prompt command in the Windows recovery environment, to reduce the system partition.

  -Restart in normal mode.

  -log in as an administrator (of course).

  -create a new partition (Z using the space unallocated drive just obtained by reduction of the system (C partition.))

  -the new (Z partition will be created between the shrunken system (C partition and intact HP recovery (D partition.)))

  Two questions:

  1. the command "DISKPART shrink" work as expected, that is. It will actually decrease the system (C partition, if the "DISKPART" utility is run to the Windows recovery environment, rather than command prompt in Windows Vista itself?)

  2 will be the HP recovery (D partition still operate, IE. the recovery environment Windows will still be available by pressing F8 and still run it if run on the line, if a new (Z partition is placed between the system (C partition and intact HP recovery (D partition itself?))))

  Thanks in advance for the answers.

  You recovery partition is no longer using the F11 key at startup. Burn your DVD recovery set before changing the hard drive somehow.

• How to shrink a partition and create a new?

  Hello

  It is the first time that I use this Ant of response, so if I'm doing something wrong, just tell me. I'm trying to create a new partition to install Windows 7 on, but all first, I need to shrink a partition. I am using the disk management tool. When I try to reduce it, he said "catastrophic failure."  Volume was 137 GB free.  My system specs are as follows:

  Laptop HP Dv4
  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium SP1 64-bit
  4 GB OF RAM
  Hard drive GB 219 (137 GB free)
  AMD Turion X 2 Dual Core @ 2.10 GHz

  I would like to know if there is a good free 3rd party tools that can do this?

  Thank you

  It sounds like your just decreases too. And you never want to cut too much because too much shrinkage is not good. Now that it is established, try lowering the amount of the withdrawal. In the computer management console, I mean. Thank you, Jeremy M - Support Engineer

• Problems with Explorer 8 and Add - ons for

  I was experimenting with the deactivation of cookies. Now, my Internet Explorer v. 8 repeat myself that I have disabled my addons. I checked, and they are all enabled. He always said that they have been disabled. So I uninstalled and reinstalled Explorer 8, and he also said that they are disabled. But even once, when I check in 'Manage Add-ons', all are enabled. I'm puzzled as to what to do. I can't open or use gmail for this reason. I use Mozilla in the interval, but prefer to use Solution Explorer. Any advice on how to "activate" these apparently allowed add-ons?

  Try this:

  "Internet Explorer 8 starts in"no Add-ons"mode when you use the desktop icon to start Internet Explorer.

• Partition and add vista as operating system second Pavilion hp P/N F9J18UA

  WINDOWS VISTA CAN BE INSTALLED FROM A KEY PLAYER, (FLASH DRIVE)?

  Hey @oz0921 ,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I've read about you want to load Windows Vista on your HP Pavilion 11-n010dx x 360.

  You can load Windows Vista from a flash drive, but your system shows me that you are running Windows 8.1. You might want to look at this document on Windows Dual boot.  Seems you have the old system running first and then you can dualboot.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you.

  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

  Thanks for your replies!

• 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.

  I finally solved it. It seems that I had a not mounted partition which it has not been used. I removed it and it solved all the problems:

• 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.

• 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?

  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.

• Running from a Bootcamp Partition vs virtual disk

  Is there an advantage to run Windows 7 from a vs Bootcamp partition a virtual disk image?

  I started to use a virtual disk image and just created a Bootcamp partition and added to the merger.  Things seem to be quite a bit faster using the Bootcamp partition.

  Is this the case in general?  Just curious to know what others have experienced.

  Thank you!!

  It is normal that you feel.  Realize that a VM is running "virtual hardware", which is generally not as fast that runs the operating system directly on the physical hardware.  Think of it as speaking through a translator.  There is a 'delay' for the message to be delivered. Take a look at the frequently asked Questions on VMware Fusion, about halfway down, the section on virtual hardware.

  For Boot Camp however virtual, take a glance to choose the settings of VM right.  Among the main reasons to use one or the other would be the advantage of the speed of Boot Camp against the convinience of not having to restart the Mac or the ability to run several machines against virtual simultaneously only running an instance of Boot Camp.  (e.g.: simulate an entire network, with the file server, web server, mail server, etc., with just one physical machine.)

• Windows 7 VM ACTIVE NO BOOTCAMP PARTITION

  Hi people,

  I can boot into Windows 7 Pro, which is located in on a Macbook Pro bootcamp partition and its active, but when I try to run VMware Fusion 3.0, this is a no go.  I can not activate the virtual machine running on the bootcamp partition.  And VMware Tools is installed. Is there any solution for this?

  TIA

  What you have said it's a matter of Microsoft like any merger can and will do is to manage the database of WPA, once you have enabled under the two Boot Camp and as a Virtual Machine but it is all the Fusion can do and another while WPA is a Microsoft technology is between you and Microsoft.

• Fusion 2.0 on Leopard boots bootcamp partition, but does not change?

  Hello

  I have XP pro installed via bootcamp (NTFS) on a new macbook pro on leopard 10.5.5.

  I installed fusion 2 and successfully to have it load windows on the bootcamp partition.

  However, when I start XP native mode by restarting, it loads XP as it was before I made any changes to the windows install via VMware.

  What I am doing wrong?  I am starting the bootcamp partition and did not import the facility.

  Thanks for any help!

  Looks like you got a snapshot - that's bad, see Bootcamp & Vistax64 running in MAC, all my changes are lost when booting with bootcamp (vistax64)
