Bootcamp doesn't utilize full partition?

Anyone want to try to help me make sense of this?
The C drive is said to have a size of 75 GB which is correct and what I partitioned it for, however judging from what the C:/ drive for bootcamp is telling me, I only have 8GB available for use and only 4GB free. Anyone know whats going on here? How do I get bootcamp to utilize the full 80GB? I have barely anything at all installed on Windows and I somehow only have 4GB free.
Disk manager shows: Bootcamp (C:/), Partition, Basic, NTFS, Healthy (Boot), 70.99 GB Capacity, 4.74 GB Free Space, 6% free.
Theres only 129 MB unallocated. This is a very new fresh reinstall of windows xp and there is very little installed on it so I can't see how I would only have 6% free.

Nvm i solved what was wrong. Had to do a diskcheck in windows.

  • Bootcamp, Bootcamp doesn't recognize Windows 7 partition

    Over my Max OS X (10.6.8), bootcamp doesn't recognize Windows 7 partition until few days. Windows 7 ever work on my iMac with bootcamp. Now the only way to boot on Windows 7 is to start with Setup CD of Windows 7 but unfortunately not with boocamp over my iMac.

    Answer this: do you have NTFS for OS X installed?
    That is the only time normally though not always that Windows won't show in
    System Preferences: Startup Disk: control panel
    > i have upgrade Bootcamp over Win7, i upgrade too Win7
    Boot Camp is only Apple drivers.
    So other than language, you are running Windows natively. Only.
    You don't upgrade Boot Camp. You probably do have Windows updates of course.

    You should read the Boot Camp Installation Guide.
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    And you should visit the Boot Camp forum. You posted in the Snow Leopard forum. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

    2011 MacBook Pro, 64 bit i7 quad core, upgraded to Lion OSx, Bootcamp installed with Windows 7, wanting to install Windows 8 (don't ask), tried downloading/installing bootcamp 5.0.5033 (both on the mac/windows partitions (actually using a parallel to run Windows)), error message something similar to bootcamp doesn't support this Windows
    So the question is am I doing something wrong? Should I just try and install windows 8 through my windows 7 partition and see if I can use the bootcamp 5.05033. Or do I solely have to use the bootcamp to install Windows 8? I'm not too familiar with bootcamp and how it runs.

    if you're using parallels and full bootcamp then you're making it 100% more troublesome for youself then it needs to be
    bootcamp is running windows directly on the hardware this give full memory and cpu and 3d video game power
    running windows in parallels is running a virtual machine where one can't run powerful games and the like but one can have it in a window and change fast between osx and windows
    parallels as the only virutal machine (as far as I know) support not have the operating system as a file on the osx harddisk but can access a bootcamp parition as virtual machine but without the benefits bootcamps provides
    it's a service parallels provide for those who want both to play games in normal bootcamp and sometimes use windows in a virutal machine
    just install it like a normal virtual machine and you need not worry about bootcamp drivers and the likes
    plus it would mean that the windows part would be a part of the timemachine bacup of osx
    which it is not when it's in bootcamp

  • When I installed Windows 7 with bootcamp, bootcamp was not on my partition

    I got windows 7, I have done this before and after installing you normally get the bootcamp assistant on your windows partition so that you can do drivers and such, I didnt get bootcamp on the partition and now I'm lost...
    If anyone knows what I did wrong please aid me,
    I do not have a Mac OSX snowleopard installation CD because it is a bad CD that doesn't work
    If anyone knows how to get bootcamp on the paritions Id greatly appreciate it,
    Iv already tried to reinstall in and it didnt work either,
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    first of: the BootCamp Assistant is a part of OSX and not on your WIndows partition.
    The OSX DVD (either the one that came with your Mac or a retail-purchased one) is the only legal source of the BootCamp Drivers and the BootCamp Control Panel.
    The updates Apple provides on their download site are updates-only and not suitable for a clean installation.
    So, if your OSX DVD is bad (scratched or the like) get a new one from Apple or buy a retail Snow Leopard DVD for about 29 USD.

  • Windows insallation programm doesn't show my Partition

    Hey everyone,
    i want to install windows xp professional (version 2002) on my MacBook pro 13". I made a partition with 44 gb with bootcamp and clicked on "start installation". After the restart, the windows installation programm starts. I follow the instructions until the question "on which partition should windows be installed?" So here is the problem: there is only one partition with 131gb (my MB got 250gb). it doesn't show the partition i created with bootcamp. The finder on OS X shows my macintosh HD and the Bootcamt partition.
    I hope someone can tell me, what i'm doing wrong.

    Hi,
    such behavior usually indicates that your XP is not at SP2 (Service Pack 2) level but an older one.
    Look for a file in the root directory of the CD named "winip51.sp2"
    If not there then it's not SP2 level.
    You can make yourself a SP2 or even Sp3 level XP disc by following these instructions http://www.winsupersite.com/article/product-review/slipstreaming-windows-xp-with -service-pack-3-sp3
    But you have to do it on a Windows PC.

  • Muse mobile site doesn't display full width

    The mobile version of my site doesn't display full width. It doesn't scale to fit the mobile screen as the set up width in Muse.
    I found a tip talking about add "viewport" code to muse site. When I insert the code to html window, it give me a box said "unable to generate a thumbnail"
    If add the view port code is the solution, how do I add this code to the <head> tag on muse?
    If not, what's the solution for this situation?

    One  problem where this occurs is that there could be some object (s) outside the layout page size.

  • Mail doesn't display full email text, only displays the subject line

    My preview shows first three lines of email, but when I chose the email specifically mail doesn't display any lines of text.  Been this way for about ten days.  Please help.  Ben

    Awesome.  Rebooting the phone worked.  I had never turned the phone off before (for the next guy - you hold down the "sleep" button for longer than you'd think and that'll do a full shutdown).  thank you for your help.

  • Thunar doesn't show the partitions mounted in fstab[SOLVED]

    Hi everyone,
    I am running XFCE 4.10 in archlinux and today when i added couple of partitions to fstab and rebooted my system I noticed that thunar doesn't show the partitions that I added to my fstab. what should i do to make it appear in thunar ?
    here is my fstab:
    /dev/sda5 /media/disk ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
    /dev/sda2 /media/disk-1 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
    Last edited by pyarch (2012-10-03 22:03:54)

    Maybe an old thread, but I came up with a different solution. By default Thunar mounts NTFS partitions under
    /run/media/<username>/<UUID of NTFS drive> .
    If the fstab is updated with a path different from above for your NTFS partitions, they end up not being displayed in bookmarks.
    So, to overcome this, create your mount points in
    /run/media/<username>/<mount point dir>
    and point to those dirs while adding entries to fstab.

  • New iPhoto doesn't offer "full image" prints. Still available?

    When ordering prints from iphoto, (prior to Snow Leopard and now Mavericks), there was an option for each print to select "full image."  I don't see that anymore.  Does Mac now crop all photos indiscriminatey the same as Walgreens or Shutterfly?  If Mac doesn't offer full image, does anybody know a print provider who does?

    When ordering prints from iphoto, (prior to Snow Leopard and now Mavericks), there was an option for each print to select "full image."
    The option "Fit" appears in the "Print" panel, when you print to your own printer, but not in the "Order Prints" panel.
    In the "Print" panel you'll see:
    You could use the Print panel to print your photo to a file, sized to a custom sheet with a border. To print a jpeg to a file, use the "PDF" option. Then reemport the image with the added border and order your prints.

  • MacBook Pro bootcamp windows cant see FAT partition

    I have 4 partitions on my SSD
    - 1) MAC OS
    - 2) SHARED ETC (MAC OS EXT)
    - 3) SHARED WORK (FAT)
    - 4) NTFS BOOTCAMP
    I created two additional partitions (ETC, WORK) after I setup windows via bootcamp, also after I've done that I did a workaround to fix MBR because I wasn't able to boot Windows natively. 
    But for some reason when I am booting windows it is does not see ETC and WORK partitions! It should be able to see at least WORK(FAT) partition?
    How do I fix that?
    I want to be able to access WORK(FAT) partition from Windows and ETC(MAC OS EXT) partition as well, if it is possible

    Cant edit this question eny more, here is some more details http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/112449/macbook-pro-bootcamp-windows-can t-see-fat-partition

  • Thinkpad L512 display doesn't reach full brightness

    My 2 month old Thinkpad L512 display doesn't reach full brightness, except for a few seconds after bootup. Then it dims down to maybe 8 or so on a scale of 1-10. Which is often good indoors, but in a bright situation, I could use the extra screen brightness.
    The screen correctly dims significantly (to maybe 2 or so on a scale of 1-10) after siting idle for a few minutes, as specified in the Power settings. But when it recovers, it is at full brightness for 10 seconds or so, then dims back down to 8 and stays there until I repeat the cycle.
    I have poked around in the Display and Power settings, and the display is set to 100% there.
    Any ideas? Thanks!
    David

    I had this problem with several of my machines.  I noticed that if you unplugged the power and plugged it back in, the machine would jump back up to the brightest setting.  But if you tried to adjust the brightness down and *then* back up, it would never reach the highest brightness.
    I tried reinstalling the Power Management Driver and reinstalling Power Manager itself (both to no avail).  I tried to downgrade to BIOS 1.20 but that didn't really have an effect either.
    Finally, I downgraded to BIOS 1.19 and that resolved the issue.  However, now I'm having an issue where the brightness changes two settings every time you hit the button (which was supposedly fixed in 1.20...though I had the same issue in 1.21).
    I'm pretty frustrated with this machine.  Hopefully the *next* BIOS resolves all of brightness related the issues...

  • Bootcamp formated my 2nd mac partition

    Hi All
    I tried to use bootcamp to install win7 on my macbookpro. When I run the bootcamp and go to the partition adjust or delete step, bootcamp tried to merge my 2 mac partitions. I clicked continue.  At last it failed and formated my 2nd mac partition. That partition is grey in disk utility. I can not see it in finder. I do not have timemachine backup for that partition.I lost all the data on that partition. Is it possible to get them back?
    Chao

    It appears you did not read or follow the Boot Camp instructions http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/.
    Boot Camp will not work, as you found out, if your hard drive has multiple partitions. You will have to erase and format your hard drive to a single OSx partition. Make sure you save all your data before doing so.
    You should also visit the Boot Camp forum where the Boot Camp gurus hang out https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

  • Gnome 2.28 doesn't mount Windows partitions

    I upgraded Gnome to version 2.28 and got next bug. Menu "Places" doesn't contain Windows partitions. But not all of them. I can see only drive C:, but manual mounting of other drives are passing successfully. There are no records in logs about errors during mounting, from ntfs-3g driver or hal.
    Thank you.

    Here are some steps I've gathered from various threads and wiki pages:
    1)  Gnome 2.28 uses the ntfs driver by default instead of ntfs-3g:
    # ln -s /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g /sbin/mount.ntfs
    2)  I login with slim.  To fix consolekit errors, use this (not necessary with GDM) in your .xinitrc:
    exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
    3)  Some external SATA drives are seeing problems since the latest kernel update.  Get the latest version of libatasmart from AUR to fix them:
    EDIT:  the latest libatasmart has been pushed to [extra].
    4)  Configure devicekit for auto-mounting ( 1- Make sure to change USER to your username, 2- Assumes you're using the wheel group for local admin access):
    Create /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/61-localauthority.conf
    [Local Admin]
    AdminIdentities=unix-user:root;unix-group:wheel
    Create  /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.archlinux.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.pkla
    [Local Users]
    Identity=unix-user:USER
    Action=org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.*
    ResultAny=no
    ResultInactive=no
    ResultActive=yes
    5)  Configure HAL/PolicyKit for ntfs-3g:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL … from_Gnome
    After I did all of the above steps, everything works on my system.  I hope it helps.

  • Bootcamp not using full partitioned amount.......

    So my Bootcamp hard drive is partitioned for 25gb. However, it is only using 15gb. I am trying to install a game that is about 14gb but I don't have enough room for the other software I need. So, in short, Why won't it use those other 10 gb????!!! It's driving me nuts! They don't register as empty, but no matter how hard a search through all my files there's only a max of 14/15 gb of stuff on there. But I still keep getting these warnings saying that I have no hard drive space left.
    Does anyone know what's going on?

    It's up to you. I've never dealt with WinClone so I'm not sure how well it does or doesn't work. I do see it recommended on the boards often, though, and it's an application that works while you're in OS X. Worth looking at, at least!
    When you repartition the drive, the Boot Camp Assistant may say it doesn't have enough space to create the partition, even though your hard drive certainly DOES have the space there. The issue is that the Assistant needs contiguous space (basically a large chunk all in one spot) and it can't find a spot big enough due to fragmentation on the drive. Applications like iDefrag could help, but, personally, I'd just reformat the drive and start over.
