Yet another partition Boot Camp damaged
I've initially was trying to shrink my partition Mac utility disc (in El Capitan) and then planned on using Win7 to extend the Windows partition. From what I can tell and have read here, the empty space was not left not allocated, but was created as a fifth partition that messed up the MBR and unable to start Windows.
I followed with the fix of Eversclever similar problem earlier today, but I can't get the MacBook boot recovery with ⌘R at startup. I just download El Capitan once again to make a bootable USB installation to enter the terminal and remove protection SIP in the morning. I wanted the details of my system because I'm a little concerned just making it worse until it will be unrecoverable. As it is now, I always have access to the files from the Boot Camp partition in the Finder in El Capitan. It will support during the night.
Thank you in advance for lonely T and anyone who spends their time to help out us. I really wish that disk utility would not allow editing of the partition because it seems to be in difficulty. Of course there is always risk when playing with partitions, but what is the "safest" way to do it without backup and start over?

Tags: Windows Software 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. 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 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. How to install Windows using Boot Camp Please let us know if you need any additional help and thank you for visiting the communities of Apple Support. See you soon. 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.

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 Re-partitioned Boot Camp does not not on VMware Fusion Hi, I had windows xp installed on boot camp and installed on vmware fusion, that worked well, but then I decided I wanted more memory and have vista instead. Installed on boot camp, but when I click on the partition boot camp on vmware fusion it still considers that I want the xp windows and says that the files have been move or restricted access or check for lack of files failed.

In this converter, you have an option to select the given hard disk space to copy > click Edit > under source volume > Destination size > select as minimum and convert.

How can I move XP on Boot Camp partition in a virtual machine on a new iMac? Yesterday, I bought a new iMac to replace an iMac Core Duo older. I was running XP on Boot Camp partition and using Fusion to access. As the new iMac custom supports XP on Boot Camp partition, I want to use VMWae Fusion to run XP in a virtual machine on the new computer. Is there a way to get the current state of XP (with all the security and the SP3 updates) now on my Boot Camp partition, more than one virtual machine on the new computer? No offense intended... Have you even read the linked web page and or documentation of Paragon go virtual? In short, could start the Boot Camp partition natively, install and run Paragon go virtual to create a Virtual Machine in VMware Boot Camp partition and run the resulting Virtual Machine with VMware Fusion on the new Mac.
