  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

• 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.

  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.

• Cannot delete the partition with windows xp a clean installation

  Hello
  Thanks in advance for any help.
  I'm doing a clean install of windows xp pro. When I get to the screen to delete the partition by pressing the d nothing happens. I'm sure start out of the cd. First attempt to do a fresh install. Any help would be appreciated

  Hi rlsajs,

  Is it a custom computer or pre-built as a HP, Dell, etc. ?
  Is your USB keyboard? If so, you may need to enable "bios powered" usb in the BIOS of your computer.
  By default, many computers are set to "Operating System" controlled USB which means that your keyboard does not work entirely until Windows has started, and you need it to work before Windows started as you go through the Setup for a new installation.
  Hope this helps and answer back with questions. If you need help getting into the BIOS of your system you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer.
  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can resolved e. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• Invisible logical partitions after deleting partition EISA WinRE on satellite

  Hello

  I have a dual boot with pre-installed Vista and XP. So, I got in total 3 primary partitions and 1 scope with logical partitions it contains. I keep Vista on the reserve and only use XP as a boot partition. I wanted to try a third OS but I had reached the maximum of 4 primary partitions on the disk. So I made a backup of and deleted the EISA WinRE partition which was pre-installed with Vista, thinking this would affect only Vista, my only boot is XP.

  I used the XP computer for this management tool. But when I click with the "delete" button right over WinRE and chosen, the score became the unallocated volumes, but also ALL logic on the extended partition, except the first.

  I tried to take over WinRE recovery with Acronis image process, but I have the extended partition still shows only the first volume and no trace of the rest of my data. Obviously, it was a big mistake and WinRE seems to contain more information for Vista recovery.

  How can I return my logical partitions?

  Thanks for any help

  Hmm I doubt you might be abele to restore the WinRE partition once again without use of the Vista CD it seems you completely remove this partition one also all data from the partition.
  I agree with you and it was really a mistake, sorry but I n t see any big chance to get back but maybe someone has another idea.

• 'HP_Tools' to delete and recreate it as a logical partition

  Hello! I have to do some operations on the hard disk partitions. Now, I have 4 primary partitions: System, the partition with Win7, recovery and HP_Tools. I need an another primary partition, and I don't want to remove the HP_Tools! That's my idea:

  1. create an image of 'system' of the operating system on DVD and remove recovery;

  2. create a HP_Tools image and delete it.

  3. create an extended partition. Create a logical partition and then restore HP_Tools inside.

  Thus, HP_Tools will keep its functions? Or it may not work correctly as a logical partition?

  Thank you

  Davide

  Yes, you can create the recovery kit, and then remove the recovery Partition. Here is the link that has the steps to create and then how to use them in the future:

I can start in one of the other partitions, but I want to get back the deleted partition. Windows XP, AMD 64 dual. Help, please.

  Hello Seymour777,

  There is good and bad news for this.

  The good news is that there is a way to do it.

  The bad news is usually the disc at the level of the publishing industry.

  This operation is not in this forum.

  Your best option right now is to look for a data recovery specialist or watch data recovery programs that will do the job for you.

  Best regards

  See below for my disk utility:

  

  

  Hello waynetay,

  Thank you for being part of the community of Apple!

  Looks like you want to recover the hard disk space that has been used by Bootcamp.  I know how critical disk hard space is, as I understand it want to access it.

  The Boot Camp Assistant should have added space on the side of Mac OS X from the hard drive when it has been used to remove Windows.  Since that didn't happen, you need to back up the system, and then erase the hard drive, then restore the backup.

  First, back up the computer.  Your computer has software called Time Machine.  It is a fantastic software for backing up your computer.  Information on how to use Time Machine is available here:

  Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

  Once you have the backup, you must erase the drive and then restore the backup Time Machine.

  You can use these measures to erase files on your startup drive and install a fresh copy of OS X:

  1. Before you begin, make sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet.
  2. Restart your Mac. Immediately hold down the command (⌘) keys and R after having heard the startup sound to boot into OS X Recovery.
  3. When the recovery window, select disk utility, then click on continue.
  4. Select the volume name back from your startup disk in the left side of the disk utility window, then click Delete.
  5. If you want to erase the disc safely, click Security Options. Select an erasing method, and then click OK.
  6. On the Format menu, choose Mac OS extended (journaled). Type a name for your drive, and then click clear.
  7. After that the drive is deleted, close the disk utility window.
  8. If you are not connected to the Internet, select a network in the Wi-Fi menu.
  9. Select the option to reinstall OS X.
  10. Click on continue and follow the instructions on the screen to reinstall OS X.

  Once OS X installation is complete, you should have the option to restore from a backup Time Machine in the first installation of OS X.  Choose this option, and the computer will restore everything that was on it before it has been removed.  More information can be found here:

  How to reinstall OS X on your Mac

  Have a great day!

• 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:

  

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0:

  

  
  

  I hope someone can help me restore my 50 GB, I lost. Even once, I do not fear factory reset my macbook if that's the best way to solve this problem!

• Delete the partition created in reformatting/reinstall for A50

  Then when I got my Toshiba Satellite A50, he had no partition that I knew of, just a drive C with XP installed on it. But the disk that it came with to reformat the hard drive and reinstall XP is creating a partition!

  So it's not the original or set up installation I've had... I have an external hard drive, I don't want a partition.

  How can I delete the partition? I'm ready to completely reformat the entire hard drive again, but if so, how do I that?

  The Toshiba CD doesn't really give me a prompt to go reformatting the hard drive me...

  The other annoying, that of my C drive is NTFS, but the disc creates a drive NTFS and FAT32 other... too... which is really scary, is when the Toshiba disk loads, it says "loading Windows 98"... to my understanding of my laptop NEVER had 98 on it... I pray that this is not a 98 - xp upgrade. It seems that someone gave me the wrong drive with my laptop computer?

  Or am I worrying over nothing?

  Hello Lou

  Believe me worry for nothing! Please don t be confused about W98 loading message. The unit starts in DOS mode and it's the same as on W98.

  Now step by step explanation: I did the procedure of recovery many times and have a little experience with it.

  When starts, CD recovery menu displays with two options: modes of STANDARD facilities and EXPERT. STANDARD mode simply erase the whole HARD drive and creates one partition (the whole HARD disk capacity) for the installation of the OS.
  EXPERT mode should be used if you want to install the operating system on already created partition or if you want to create a new partition for the installation of the OS. Note You can create only the first partition it (C :) and you can not edit already created the partition.)

  In my opinion, it is always good to have two partitions, one for the operating system and installation and a second for recording data. You might not always drive external HARD with you. If something is wrong at any time, you can install the OS on the first partition without losing the data stored on the other.

  Anyway, to start the recovery procedure and choose the recovery STANDARD (option 1) procedure. The whole HARD drive will be formatted and Os will be installed on a partition.

  Bye and if you have any other questions please write again.

• Recovery of a Satellite A100 (PSAA9) - deleted the partitions and XP Home no Pro

  Now, he has completely formatted the HD remove the operating system (Windows XP Pro).
  When I bought the laptop, with what he came already installed WXP Pro and comes from the Certification sticker on the bottom of the laptop.
  Is there anyway I can receive an installation of Windows XP Pro CD?

  Generally, all models of Satellite laptops are delivered with the operating system Windows XP Home edition or Media Center Edition home. Toshiba's Satellite Pro series, and under this name, you can get WXP Pro operating system.

  Can you tell us what model you exactly A100-xxx?

  If your laptop has been in the showroom by the dealer, it is possible they are using clean installation of OS instead of supplied recovery media.
