Boot camp / partition problems, hard drive damaged?

I was in the middle of using boot camp to allocate 13gb to windows when my macbook pro crashed (the crash screen with the turn off and restart text came up), then when i restarted and ran boot camp it said that my harddrive couldn't be partitioned and to repair it using disk utility. I ran that, but the repair disk is greyed out, the repair permissions doesn't have any effect and when i clicked verify disk it says;
"Disk utility stopped verifying macintosh hd because the following error was encountered filesystem verify or repair failed"
and the log is
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Performing live verification.
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
Invalid volume free block count
(It should be 15200369 instead of 11898629)
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
Can you help me out? It's essential i get a number of windows products running.

Ok, that seemed to work for part of the problem.
It repaired the disk but whenever I run boot camp it keeps throwing up that crash screen and i have to go through the process of repairing the disk again.
I've ran boot camp with no other programs running in the background or open and without disturbing it while it's allocating the partition and it still crashes.
Any ideas how to get it working?
Heres the crash report

  • Boot Problems- Hard Drive Damaged? Something Else?

    Yesterday my MacBook Pro went to the blue screen of death after freezing for a few minutes. When I restarted it, I couldn't get beyond the apple with the spinning graphic below it. I tried resetting the SMC and PRAM, archiving and reinstalling (which hung up every time), and ultimately backed up the files I could (many generated errors and could not be copied) using Target Disk. After backing up, I did an erase and reinstall, which was successful (mostly). After getting the system running again, I attempted to update from what I think is 10.4.5 to 10.4.11. At the end of the download, it crashed, and on restart would not boot again (apple logo with random flickerings of the "no" sign).
    At first, I assumed hard drive damage for the following reasons:
    -Something fell and landed right over the hard drive, putting a small dent in the open case
    -The files that would not copy seemed like they could have been corrupted by physical disk damage
    -The hangups seem like they could be caused by the same issue
    The things that worry me about this diagnosis are the fact that the erase and reinstall worked, and that the problem seems confined to boot errors (it has only successfully booted once since the first crash).
    1. Can I confidently call this a hard drive failure, order one from OWC tomorrow morning overnight, and consider it solved?
    2. If not, are there any diagnostic tools I can use to help zero in on my problem?
    3. What, if any additional information would he helpful?
    Before today's successes/failures, I was all ready to pull the trigger on a new drive (Hitachi 7200RPM 200GB). However, now I'm not so sure. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you again for your advice.
    At this point, I am amazed to say I have it up and running and was even able to upgrade to 10.4.11, which caused one of the recent crashes. I have in fact prepared my data for "the unthinkable" (which has now happened four times in the last forty-eight hours), but this whole "working" thing is pretty creepy. (I tried to pop the top to see if the hard drive has any physical damage from the dent, but apparently the only thing harder to find in this town than a FireWire cable is a Torx T-6. I guess I'll be ordering OWC's lame eleven-piece $17 tool kit. Oh well.).
    Is this normal? Can I expect another crash soon?
    I think I'm going to try copying some large files to see if I can't repeat my failure. Maybe I've just been really lucky this particular time.

  • How to run Boot Camp on External Hard Drive?

    I use my mid-2012 11" MacBook Air for gaming and school work. My hard drive is filling up fast, and I was hoping I could use an external hard drive and Boot Camp to run Windows for my games, thus freeing up most of my hard drive.
    My questions are:
    1) Is this possible?
    2) What equipment would I need to do it?
    3) What would I be looking for in an external hard drive for this purpose?
    4) If I did this, would I be able to unplug and replug my external hard drive without causing a problem?
    5) What version of Windows should I use?
    The program I will be using for my games is Steam.

    For the MacBook Pro Retina and Windows 8.1 the setup procedure was the following:
    Step -1: Make sure your Thunderbot drive works, stable and reliable.
    Step 0. Make sure you have a complete Time Machine backup of you Mac OS hard drive. Seriously. Very easy to mess things up completely.
    Step 1. Get a Windows 8.1 64 bit iso. You might want to try it out first before committing money to it. For that you can download an official 90 day Windows 8.1 Enterprise evaluation from Microsoft. It's somewhat hidden from mainstream experience, but search engines help you there.
    It is important to use 64 bit, as 32 bit will not work.
    Step 2. Get a USB flash drive. 8 GB USB flash drive worked fine for me.
    Step 3. On Window box or from virtualized Windows machine make a bootable setup USB. I have used Rufus for that. Make sure you have selected "GTP partition scheme for UEFI computer" and FAT32.
    I've tried MBR partition scheme, but it hasn't worked for me.
    Step 4. Once bootable setup USB is created, shutdown everything. Plugin your external thunderbolt drive and bootable setup USB flash drive. Hold ALT (Option key) to choose from what thing to boot.
    Step 5. If you are lucky you will see yellow "EFI Boot". Yellow usually meens 'external'. That meens you are going to boot into setup from USB flash drive. Go for it.
    Step 6. In 5-10 minutes you should get into Window setup. Whenever you are asked, always choose "Custom" or so, till you get to the hard drive selection screen. You should see list of many partitions coming from 2 drives - one internal and one external.
    WARNING: Be super careful here!!!!!
    Step 7. Convince Windows to install itself on the drive that is external. You might have to delete all of the partitions of the external drive and leave it completely unpartitioned. This will make Windows autoconvert it's partition scheme to GTP.
    WARNING: Think twice before deleting any partitions; do not delete any partitions on your internal drive.
    Step 8. Let Windows install itself. I recommend turning off windows autoupdate for now, especially drivers part of it, since Windows 8.1 autoudate seams to be pushing buggy drivers at the moment.
    Step 9. If you are SUPER lucky after reboot (and holding ALT/Option) you should see gray "EFI boot" that will boot Windows from external drive.
    Step 10. Download and install Apple latest bootcamp drivers, things should work normally once those drivers are installed.
    Step 11. Enjoy!

  • Boot camp partition problems. What to do?

    Hello guys !
    I really need some help ! Im a totally amateur with mac and still pretty new to it and anyways and im pretty noob with these things, so dont go harsh on me.
    So I have bootcamp, windows 7 installed in my macbook pro retina 15' and everything was good, untill I tried to resize the partition of the boot camp!!! I had only 4gb available on the windows so I wanted more space. I went to the disk utility and created some space for the windows by shrinking the mac's hard a bit and then switched to windows and tried to do it by a program called '' AOMEI Dynamic Disk Manager'' and the machine restarted and everything seem to go well untill  almost at the end of the installation the problem occured some kind of an error I dont remember anymore and then I restarted my computer and pressed the alt button and I had still there the windows option the available, but when I enter it nothing happens and then occurs text '' system operating file missing '' ??? So what can I do? Have I lost all of my files that were on windows 7? is there anyway to get them back and if so how? Please guys I really need help, I have very important files that I need ASAP !!! I might lose my job, if I will lose them, so please help me ! I havent done any back up to the windows? Is there anything I could do anymore to get the partition and the files back? I tried to repair the partition from disk utility, but this what happened :
    Verify and Repair volume “disk0s4”Checking file system** /dev/disk0s4
    Invalid BS_jmpBoot in boot block: 46fa80
    Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files. 
    Please guys help me out ! what can I do? I tried to google something but really couldnt find anything,
    Thnx for u in advance!

    You have to install the drivers yourself with either a 10.6 install dvd or from a download choice when starting the Boot Camp installation.
    After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc.
    The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort, built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and the function keys on an Apple keyboard.
    The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and the Apple Boot Camp system tray item.
    OR
    If you can’t find the CD, DVD, or external disk with the support software you downloaded, open Boot Camp Assistant and download the software again.
    You can quit the assistant after you save the software without creating a new partition.
    Insert the CD or DVD or connect the external disk with the Windows support software.
            The installer may start automatically. If it doesn’t, do one of the following:
    If the support software is on the same USB flash drive as the Windows 7 installer, double-click the setup.exe file in the WindowsSupport directory.

  • Boot camp WINDOWS 7 hard drive formatting and back up

    Hi
    I have many questions with boot camp.
    I want to back up my windows 7 side of my computer and my apple mac side.I have 6 black caviah 1tb drives.(3 for each side,3 formatted with windows and 3 formatted with mac).I have noticed I can use the hard drives on each side of the computer no matter which side they were formatted on.Surely this is not the case and there are restrictions in what each drive will do depending on which side they were formatted on.
    Another question . Do I need to change sides to back up windows then go to mac side to back up mac.It seems both side are accessible from either windows 7 side or mac side.
    wow thanks in advance to anybody can read all that and help.
    Regards
    John

    I think I have the same problem; When I click Shut Down in Windows 7 (via Bootcamp), the shut down process proceeds as it should, except it does not properly signal the computer to physically shut down. What typically happens is the spinning circle beneath "Shutting down" freezes, and my fans spin up to max. speed (although there is no processor load).
    My "solution" is just to hold the power button down to shut it off... it's not really a big deal since the shut down process has already been completed, and also not something that bothers me since I rarely shut down Windows (I either put my computer to sleep or restart in OS X, both of which don't require the hard shut down).

  • Download Boot Camp again after hard drive upgrade?

    This is just a quick question. If I put a new hard drive in my MacBook, will I have to get Boot Camp again, or can I just partition the drive before I reinstall Tiger, and just install Windows with the driver CD I already have from last time? And I suppose I would also like to know if I have to get Leopard in order to get Boot Camp.

    You would need Boot Camp and currently it is offered only with Leopard. Not sure if you could install it on a separate non Boot Cam partition and get it to work right.

  • Boot Camp on External Hard Drive

    I have a 2008 Macbook Pro 15-inch running Lion(10.7.3). I want to install windows 7, but i want to use a external hard drive. Is that possible?

    BCA is a one trick pony.
    If you intend to use the internal you have two ways:
    Put a tiny OS X and use BCA and devote most of the hard drive and leave minimum for OS X
    or
    disconnect the external and boot from Windows DVD and then delete all the partitions and give the whole drive over to Windows (it will format, you don't need to) and have 100% Windows only - no BCA used (just download the support drivers) in which case knowing how PITA BCA is, you might still need that tiny OS X is.
    Clone OS X where you need it with Carbon Copy Cloner to clone Lion and Lion Recovery

  • About boot camp with multiple hard drives.

    Hi folks. I've just ordered my new 27" iMac. It has the 256GB SSD and i'm wondering about using boot camp on the system.
    I understand that OSX will come installed on the SSD, what I was wondering however, is that if I would be able to use boot camp to install windows on the standard 2TB HDD that comes with it.
    Secondly, if thats possible, is it possible to switch the 'standard' system bootup from Windows to OSX as you desire?
    I owned a MacBook Pro recently which had Windows 7 installed, however after I installed that, it would boot windows automatically unless I used the Alt key on startup to choose OSX instead.
    What i'm worried about is that after I install Windows 7 again, that it will boot into Windows as standard, then i'll need to hold Alt and choose OSX instead, which is going to take some time, and totally cancel the benefits of having an SSD for quicker start up times.
    So can you switch the standard bootup operating system once installed?
    Thanks for reading.

    Yes, Boot Camp can be used on any internal drive. To alter startup behavior use the Startup Disk preferences to set your OS X volume as the permanent boot volume. When you want to boot Windows use OPTION boot - restart and after chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the Windows volume then click on the large downward pointing arrow button. When you next restart the computer it will automatically return to OS X.

  • Scanning windows boot camp partition for viruses from mac system

    is there any way that i can scan my boot camp partition (windows hard drive)from my mac operating system since i think this will remove more viruses and leave less chance for them to reappear.
    thanks

    I would first buy or find the best malware/spyware AV software and firewall.
    An ounce of prevention costs less than the pound of cure.
    Backup Windows image with WinClone or something.
    ClamXav or Intego AV 5 are two ideas mentioned earlier.
    If you use the web and email you need to install some programs, free or commercial.

  • I Can't Partition My Hard Drive (Files Can't Be Moved)

    Hey,
    today I wanted to install Windows XP Professional (SP 3). I printed the Boot Camp Documentation and followed the Boot Camp Assistant. I chose a 12 GB partition (my iMac's 320 GB hard disk drive currently has a little less than 40 GB of free space available) and began the partitioning process. The progress bar slowly grew from left to right.
    After a minute or two I realized that I need an installation disc for Windows. I grabbed a 4.7 GB DVD-RW (which was already written to) and slipped it into the Optiarc drive. Shortly after that the partitioning process failed with an error message saying that there were files that can't be moved.
    Slightly discouraged, I decided to create my Windows install disc before dealing with this problem. Although this wasn't such a straight-forward task (the first burning attempt failed due to a medium write error right before it finished, and don't forget weird noises when inserting the disc the second time) I managed to successfully burn the .iso image containing the Windows install within three attempts.
    I then tried to partition my disk again, numerous times, but didn't get lucky; the same error after the same two, three minutes. What is it with Boot Camp and my hard drive? I hope there is an answer to that, and I hope the solution wont require me to backup all of my files, reformat my HDD in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", and restore all of my files from the backup, as I don't have an external hard drive to which I could backup to!
    I KNOW I am stupid for even trying this without a backup, and I would be devastated if I lost all of my data, but I am an optimist (in respect to catastrophes at least). I also need to get Windows ASAP, so, while a backup drive is on its way, I decided to just risk it.
    Has anyone here had the same issue and managed to work around it? (Preferably without any backups involved!) If not, does somebody have advice, OTHER than… (well, you know already)?
    I would appreciate any responses, even if, I guess, it's just to tell me that I should most definitely wait until I get an external disk to backup to.
    Thanks,
    temhawk

    Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
    But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
    Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
    And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable.

  • I had to replace my iMac due to hard drive and Logicboard failure, so I want to reinstall Windows 7 on a Boot Camp partition. Will there be a problem reactivating Windows 7 Home Premium?

    I had to replace my iMac due to HDD and Logicboard failure, so I want to reinstall Windows 7 on Boot Camp partition. Will there be a problem reactivating Windows 7 Home Premium?

    Hi,
    should be no problem.
    Best case is you can activate online via Internet.
    Worst case is you have to call Microsoft and explain that it is the same computer after a mainboard failure.

  • How do I write to my boot camp partition with Paragon NTFS that comes with Mountain Lion?  Or how do I get my boot camp partition to show up in Paragon's "Available NTFS partitions:" panel like my external hard drive does?

    I've just set up boot camp on my MacBookPro with a freshly installed Mountain Lion and Windows 7. 
    I would like to read and write in both directions from drive to drive if possible.  I've hunted around quite a bit to try and work this out, and so far I understand that one can write to or transfer files from one drive to the other with Paragon NTFS among other softwares. 
    I noticed when I looked in my system preferences the utility "Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X" came with Mountain Lion and it will recognize an external hard drive when I have one plugged in under "Available NTFS partitions:".  However, it does not automatically recognize my NTFS boot camp partition nor does it automatically give me write access. 
    Is the Paragon NTFS that comes with Mountain Lion limited in some way? 
    Do I still need to purchase and download the software of the same name from Paragon to get the full write privilidges I want or is there something I can do to get the version of Paragon on my MAC to recognize and give me write priviledges to my boot camp partition?
    I'm open to all suggestions to get the read / write access between partitions in my boot camped drive.
    MacFUSE is also listed in the System Preferences of my machine (it also came with Mountain Lion), if that helps.  I'm still working out exactly what each of these is supposed to do and how I can use it to accomplish the task at hand.
    My boot camp drive does appear normally in other contexts and in disk utility it indicates that the drive is mounted.
    Thank you for any guidance you can give me. 

    Interesting. Comes with? you didn't have either before? Paragon is commercial and is now v. 10.0, they were the only one keeping updated and was supporting 10.7.4. I would not enable more than one.
    For writing to HFS Paragon has theirs but probably give the nod to MacDrive there.
    I never do an upgrade to a new OS over the old system, I backup (clone) and format the drive with the new OS and do the install so whatever is there I know is clean and also to keep from carrying around leftovers from years and systems past.
    I would assme Paragon is limited. Try their site and knowledge base?

  • How do install windows hard drive (from dead pc) into boot camp partition

    My Windows 7 desktop died recently, so I took the opportunity to buy a Mac Mini (latest version as of Feb 2012) as a replacement.  I want to transfer  the Windows 7 installation (from the dead PC) including all applications, accounts, settings, user files, etc to the Boot Camp Partition.   Can someone please provide the steps on how to perform the Win 7 migration to the Mac Mini. 

    Just to clarify:
    I want to install the Windows 7 installation from dead the PC into the Mac Mini's Boot Camp partition.
    I installed the PC's hard drive into an enclosure and connected it to the Mac Mini via the USB port.
    What I want to do is the following:
    1) Do a Windows 7 "fresh" install in the Mac Mini Boot Camp partition.
    2) Migrate all the applications installed on the  Windows 7 PC and their associated data.
    3) Migrate all user accounts and data.
    Is there a tool that can transfer all applications and user accounts from the Windows 7 Hard Drive to the Boot Camp partition on the Mini?
    Based on the documentation the Window Migration tool is Lion OS utility and does not perform a complete migration of all applications installed on the Windows machine.
    thank you.

    Okay so this is my machine. I want to run Boot Camp and to install Windows XP onto the machine as I need to use certain windows programmes for my business as well as the Mac stuff.
    I have no idea how to partition some of my free 26gb space to create a drive to install windows onto?
    Can any help please?

    If you do really want to partition your hard drive then you need to look in your utilities folder for disk utility.
    Once this is open, click on your hard drive image in the left hand column and then you will see a partition tab. Here you can split your HD into two partitions. Call one of them XP or something like that so that you know where to install windows.
    It's quite safe and you can always go back to one big partition if things do not work out.
    Remember though to backup first...
    To the OP
    Do not heed this advice, you should use Boot Camp Assistant to create the partition for Boot Camp, do not use Disk Utility.

  • Problems with Windows install and erasing Boot camp partition.

    I recently decided I'd try running a copy of XP on my Macbook, the only reason being that the software for my OU work is only available on Windows. I used Boot camp assistant to partition my hard drive which went smoothly. When I tried to install Windows, I get to the Windows install screen, and it says "Press enter to begin installation". Unfortunately, my keyboard doesn't seem to work, so obviously I can't begin the installation. I've tried using my old Apple USD keyboard, but it didn't make any difference. I thought I'd try the whole process from scratch, but found I can't erase the original partition. I've read that you should use Boot camp assistant again, but when I press the continue key, I get the message:
    "The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."
    Does anybody know a way of sorting either of these problems out? Much appreciated.

    I've been doing a bit more reading into the problem. I think the keyboard problem's because I'm not using the SP2 version on XP. So hopefully once I get a copy, I should be able to sort it. But I still can't seem to use BCA to erase the partition.

Maybe you are looking for
