  3 TB drives require a special partitioning on Macs that do not support Windows using boot EFI. What year/model is your Mac? El Capitan BCA is broken when handling this, but Yosemite and the Mavericks manage much better.

  It requires the partition Windows to be "sandwiched" between the two partitions on OS X, forming a volume of CS, so that a valid MBR can be created.

  Have you tried to create a Windows partition that was larger than 1 TB to test if it worked or not?

• How to fix the fsck "your drive could not be partitioned..." Bootcamp does not

  Hello, after days of searching for a solution and try several times to fix this, I write a question.

  I want to create a partition with Bootcamp to install Windows 7. Here's what I made in the following order:

  1. Tried to partition with bootcamp, but he was only let me pick 32 GB or 1024 GB (which I did not available).
  2. Manually create the partition with utility disk and at the start of my flash, found that USB 3.0 drive / Bluetooth drivers don't would not load then ran in question where I couldn't go beyond 'select language' screen on Win 7 install.
  3. Tried to restart and delete my partition but noticed that I couldn't so I had to boot in recovery of the Internet and the use of the terminal commands and gpt, deleted the unused partition and used disk utility to merge it into main drive. I followed these instructions: deleted my bootcamp partition, but can not resize my osx partition
  4. Re-directed training camp and received the error "your drive could not be partitioned."
  5. Disc repair/check etc. ran and found errors.
  6. Run fsck by this thread that your disk cannot be partitioned. Win7 Bootcamp and still got here.
  7. Thought that maybe filevault caused outcome so disabled that. 48 hours later my 2.3 TB have been deciphered.
  8. Ran bootcamp, same problem.
  9. Run fsck, same problem.
  10. Currently using TestDisk to analyse the sectors on disk 1, correct? :

  

  

  I'm ready to create another partition manual if I can get drivers USB/BT to work.

  
  

  Furthermore, anyone know why there is a limit of 32 GB/1024 on the size of my partition for bootcamp? Why can't choose anything between the two?

  Data sheet:

  

  Thanks in advance for any answer!

  Hello

  Computer laptop Qosmio and OS do you have?
  Sonic RecordNow was preinstalled on your laptop? On my Qosmio F50, it is Toshiba Disc Creator pre-installed.

  However, have you tried other software like Nero or CD Burner XP burning? Furthermore, a few weeks ago, I tried CD Burner XP. I was very surprised. It s a very small (only a few megabyte s) tool and all the important features are built into this program. And it s freeware!
  If you n t want another burning software you should try reinstalling the file now.

• Boot Camp - boot disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition

  Hello

  Would really appreciate some help on this!

  I tried to install Windows 7 on my iMac 2015 but during the installation of windows it guests that the partition must be formatted in a different way.

  Now when I try to use Boot Camp once again, 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.

  The problem is that I can't erase the Boot Camp Partition in any way using disk utility.

  If it's any help - it is the diskutil list:

• Unable to overcome error - "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

  Hello!

  I'm trying to install Windows on my iMac (late 2013, running 10.11.6) without success.  I created the ISO to a flash drive, but when I try to use the Assistant Boot camp, I am referred to the following screen:

  

  I did my best to study solutions. The cause, by apple support discussions, is that there is another partition of pre-empting (stop) the wizard boot camp partitioning the hard drive.  I studied the partitions on my HDD after unplugging all devices and found this:

  

  This shows the main partition: Macintosh HD, the bootcamp partition: BOOTCAMP; and 2 unknown partitions: "Apple HDD ST100DM003 Media" and the same * M004.  I was able to delete the first Apple ST100DM003 HARD disk partition and ran first aid on the fusion drive after that the second he would not remove.  Also, I can't delete the boot camp partition.  I keep getting the same message when I try to install windows on a partition of the fuser unit using Boot Camp Assistant - "Startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition".

  Any suggestions?

• EL CAPITAN-change hard drive in GUID Partition

  I read the previous posts and utility assistance from disk on the evolution of the GUID to load El Capitan. To this day he used the Apple Partition map and trying to update I received the message GUID.

  Unfortunately, the solutions do not work for me.

  In disk utility, I can access the drive, then the Partition screen. I can create a new Partition in the Partition box and manipulate the size, but there is no way that I can turn on the Options button to choose the format GUID.

  Any ideas?

  You cannot change the plan of partition on an active system. You must boot from an alternative media (such as a USB key). Re-partitioning a disk is to erase all existing data. So be sure that you have a recent backup of all your apps important and files.

• 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.

  It comes to the current state of the hard drive:

  When I want to restart the training camp that I got the error message: "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

  According to this page, it is because of Windows recovery partitions added during the 8 to 8.1 migration and 8.1 to 10.

• Solutions to the problem of CD/DVD drive cannot read DVD discs

  This article will tell you 3 ways to solve the problem of the CD/DVD drive do not read the DVD disc. Please the process step by step.

  Solution1. Clean the DVD disc

  If your Player cannot detect the DVD disc, the first thing you need to do is to clean the DVD disc. Use a soft and dry cloth (not painted) to wipe the disc from the center of the disc to the edge. Please take care to not to use a paper to clean the disc with a circular motion, it will scratch the disc.

  After cleaning, inert the DVD on the drive to see if it works, if the reader can't read the disc, use a cloth of cotton wet with water or alcohol to clean the disc. After the disc dry, inert re the disc on the drive. If the reader can read, the operation is complete. If this isn't the case, please turn to the option2.

  Option2. Check the disc to see if it has been damaged

  Draw the DVD from the drive and check if there are some scratches or small cracks on the disc. If the disc is damaged, please try another DVD disc to see if the drive can read. If the drive cannot recognize the new disk, there could be a problem with the CD/DVD drive. Please turn to solution 3.

  Solution3. Clean or repair the CD/DVD drive

  When a CD/DVD drive has been used for a long time, its ability to play disc will only get worse. Then, the reader can not read some discs, or blocking your computer in the middle of the reading disc. This is usually due to the aging of certain parts of the disc, CD/DVD player dirty.

  Open the drive to check if the DVD reader accumulates dust and dirt, if so, the cold air from the hair dryer allows you to clean the inside of the DVD drive. Be sure to not blow on the optical sensor orally, or clean it with a cloth of cotton with water or alcohol. After cleaning, insert a DVD disc on the drive to see if it works. If still no, you need to call the s command customer service or take the reader to a computer repair shop.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

  DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
  devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

  I hope this helps.
