I get an error message saying, "An error occurred while restoring the disk to a single partition." when I try to use Boot Camp Assistant to remove my Windows partition. Help?!

I'm trying to remove my Windows partition and delete Boot Camp altogether off my laptop. When I try to remove the partition, I get an error saying "An error occurred while restoring the disk to a single partition."
Can someone please help?

Boot from another hard drive or DVD and repair with Disk Utility.

    i don't know how to do

    There is a forum for Boot Camp. This is not the forum for the notebook users.
    You should always always have backup that you can use to restore your system incase of a problem.
    Try booting into Lion Recoverey or from your OS X DVD and choose Disk Utility from Utility menu and repair the disk; try to remove with DU instead of BCA.

  • BootCamp Assistant Error : Your bootable USB drive could not be created. "An error occurred while formatting the disk."

    I have a Windows 7 Ultimate .iso file saved onto a "Mac OS Extended (Journal)" formatted USB flash drive. I am trying to install it with BootCamp Assistant and I keep getting the error message : Your bootable USB drive could not be created. "An error occurred while formatting the disk."
    I have previously installed Windows 7 on my Mac (and it worked flawlessly - same .iso file), but I uninstalled it because I didn't partition enough space on my hard drive. I have used several flash drive to try and install and none have worked.
    Some help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Why do i keep getting "an error occurred while preparing the installation of Mavericks?

    Greetings all,
    I've been trying to install Mavericks on my mid-2007 24 in iMac. I have plenty of hard drive space and I've downloaded Mavericks several times. Every time I try to install it, I keep getting the 'An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again.' message. I've run disk utility several times and verified the disk; repartitioned the drive and created a clean partition and tried to install on the new partition- same result. And I've even tried installing on an external drive- again no luck. I've been running Mountain Lion since it came out without a problem, so anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Try booting into the Safe Mode and installing Yosemite there.

  • The App Store will not update my apps. I keep getting An error occurred while downloading the updates.(102) What could resolve this issue?

    My App Store is no longer updating my apps or my OS. I keep getting this message: An error occurred while downloading the updates.(102) What could be the reason for this issue and what will resolve it?

    I believe its an auth error. If you tried signing in and out of the app store and downloading a free app (typical fixes) and it persists, try downloading the updates manually. If youre trying to get the Mountain Lion updates the link for 10.8.1 is here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1571   and if you already have 10.8.1 and youre trying to update to 10.8.2 the link is here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1580 a supplemental update came for the 10.8.2 which can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1600
    Like I said before, the error isnt that your software or hard drive is corrupt, it has to do with your AppleID authenticating the download, especially because OS updates are part of the Mac App Store. If you know your way around your system libraries or root libraries you can possibly fix it by deleting specific files that may be corrupted, otherwise you're going to want to back up your data and reinstall the OS.
    Good luck!

  • PSE8 "Error occurred while writing the disk" during backup

    Last night I tried doing a full backup of my PSE8 catalog to DVD-R disks using the PSE8 "backup to CD/DVD" feature.  The program told me I would need 17 disks, so I let it run.  It was burning the 13th disk when it produced an error stating "An error occurred while writing the disc.  Result 13, Command 42, Sense 5, asc 33, ascq 2".
    I swapped out the supposedly bad disk for a new one and selected "Retry".  It burned for several minutes (what I believe to be the whole disk) before producing the exact same error again.  Not wanting to give up on 90 minutes of work, I kept retrying with new blank disks, and it failed on every one in the same way.  It would write what seemed like the entire disk and then the same error would appear.  This produced 6 coasters in a row before I gave up and cancelled the job (that's 18 disks and 2 1/2 hours of my time wasted).
    I'm using a Samsung SH-S182M burner with the most current firmware (SB06), and LG DVD-R disks.  I've had no trouble with this burner in any other software.  My system has WinXP Pro SP3, 4GB RAM, RAID-0, and an AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 CPU.  No lack of hardware resources.
    I seem to recall having the same kind of trouble with PSE5 a couple years ago, possibly using a different DVD burner at the time (on the same computer).  Since I normally do backups using 3rd-party software and an external hard drive, I only rarely use the PSE8 backup tool.  I'm not sure it has ever worked properly for me.
    Does anybody know what this error means, and why it doesn't happen until well into the process?  And why it suddenly fails on every disk from that point on?

    There doesn't seem any issue with disc drive or the DVD media. It could be because of any particular file which Organizer is unable to write. To confirm this, we need to check if the backup to hard disk works fine.

  • Why am getting a "error occurred while restoring from backup" message when restoring using Time Machine?

    Hello
    I recently made a Bootcamp partition with Windows 7 (which incidentally went absolutely fine).  In that partition I wanted to split it for some certain files, but on doing so I appear to have completely tanked my hard drive - I've pretty much wiped the entire thing.  I read afterwards that creating new partitions within Windows is a big no no Bootcamp wise, and this wasn't something I knew about before.  Lesson learnt!
    Either way, I had a backup and though it would be simple enough to restore from that backup, but about 2% in it it pops up "an error has occurred while restoring from backup, please restart and try again".  After a few tries, this didn't work, so now I'm worried that my backup is corrupt.
    I'm not sure why the backup would be corrupt as this was made with no problems as normal.
    I've already tried the standard restore with no success (obviously), and I've also tried re-installing the OS up to the first boot, then trying to restore (thinking that the error was a result of a missing Recovery HD, which the re-install would create) and this was with no success also.
    My final idea was to just erase the drive and re-install the OSX, and then when it prompts me, restore the files from the Time Capsule.
    Am I onto the right idea, or is there another way around this?  I'm just very worried that my backup has become corrupted for some reason and I've lost everything on there.
    Specs are:
    MacBook Pro Mid 2012 OS X 10.8.5;
    Bootcamp 5 (Windows 7);

    I'd agree. As long as you've gone this far, I'd probably start from scratch with your MBP, back up any critical files on it, wipe the whole thing, and do a nice clean reinstall.
    I'd try to repair the backup drive with disk utilty and then see if you can restore the minimum of essential documents from it to the MBP. If Disk Utility can't fix it there is a small chance that a third party utility like diskwarrior or techtool could repair it. DiskWarrior 4 - The Disk Utility for Mac Disk Repair, Mac Directory Repair, Mac Disk Recovery, Mac Data Recovery or Techtool Pro 7
    If you can get your essential documents off the backup drive, then I'd wipe it and put a new time machine backup on it. If that doesn't work, then I'd replace the drive. 

  • Keep getting error occurred while formatting the disk using boot camp with usb

    So I keep getting the above error when trying to use boot camp with a USB drive. I have tried with more than one flash drive, all formatted to FAT32, multiple isos, both ripped right from a windows 7 ultimate dvd and downloaded, and I have made sure the iso was unmounted. I have also tried all different combinations of checking the options in the boot camp assistant menu. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

    I was mistakenly thinking of the Fat16 limit. That is my mistake.
    When bootcamp assistant failed to create the USB from my iso disk (with no explanation), I decided to experiment a little with the dd and cp utilities. dd failed, and cp told me the install file was too big.
    The install.wim on my iso is 4,351,019,025 bytes. So even if 4GB is the file size limit, it is too big. 4GB is 4,294,967,296 bytes if I recall.
    If I am still right about the file size, smaller editions of windows 7 would be able to fit on the flash drive, or people can have an actual DVD with windows 7 and install from there.

    Any idea about this error?
    Tks in advance.

    Hi,
    After applying the SP 23 Patch Level 08, LOCK JDBC problems stopped.
    But now when a network error or database error, the JDBC Sender Communication channels that were open to connection, are blocked.
    Even following the instructions in [SAP Note 1083488 - XI FTP_JDBC sender channel stop polling indefinitely (04_04S)|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1wdCZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1083488] the problem continues.
    I've already set the parameter "taskTimeout" and selected the option "Disconnect from Database After Each Message Processing" but not resolved.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
