When i remove bootcamp. It stuck in Partitioning disk...

I want to remove bootcamp from my mac. When i click restore and it say Status:Partitioning disk and look like it stuck. I wait for it about one night but it still stuck. How can I do?

Can you go to Disk Utility, click on your Macintosh HD, then click on the Partition tab? Select your Boot Camp partition, click the minus button, and then once that is removed drag your Macintosh partition down to where it takes the whole drive.

Bootcamp stuck on partitioning disk

I've made enought room on my hard drive, and when i try bootcamp, it always gets stuck here
Is it because i partitioned wrong?

bootcamp is stuck on partitioning disk once i needed to restore to only mac.
so is there any way out to uninstall windows manually?
Yes,
1. clone your OSX partition to an external drive
2. erase the internal drive
3. restore the backup

Can't install Windows 8.1 because the Bootcamp Assistant-partitioned disk is GBT and not MBR.

I can’t install Windows 8.1 because the Bootcamp Assistant-partitioned disk is GBT and not MBR, and attempting to format the bootcamp disk does nothing. I have read up on this issue, and the only solution seems to be to make a backup of my computer and reformat all disks via 8.1 setup terminal. I REALLY do not want to do that, is there any way to fix this? I’m on OS X Yosemite, if that pertains to the thread.

Interesting. It wouldn’t install because I had FileVault enabled. Huh. Disabling it saved the day.

Windows 8 installation gets stuck during create partition step in bootcamp. Any suggestions?

windows 8 installation gets stuck during create partition step in bootcamp. I tried to restart the bootcamp with same results. I have given it more than 6 hrs for last 3 times but I was able to go past this step previously where I got stuck during registering windows8.

Hi,
According to your description, it seems that your all Windows 8.1 computers connect to network via normal wireless network.
Did you have wireless router for them?
Please delete this adhoc, then check if these computer could connect to network.
If no, follow below guide to create and connect to adhoc :

Stuck on 'partitioning disk'...

How long does the 'partitioning disk' setup of Bootcamp take?
I have left it for over an hour and still nothing seems to be happening.
Any ideas how I can get Bootcamp to install? or what I am doing wrong?
setup: I have a 2nd internal HD on my Mac Pro - which I select in Bootcamp, then 'create a second partition for windows', and I give it 32GB, then its stays on 'partitioning drive'...and nothing.
Should I use disk utililty to partition the HD? Any work arounds?

Hi david,
usually the BootCamp Assistant is quite fast with doing the partitioning.
Check with Disk Utility to see if that 2nd drive is set for the GUID partition table and also if the OSX partition on it is set to Mac OS Extended (journaled).
If not and you have nothing else on that drive, erase/partition it to one partition with the above settings.
Also make sure that your have Administrator Rights when running the BootCamp Assistant.
Regards
Stefan

Bootcamp Windows partition disk space

I was in the process of installing Windows for the first time on my iMac. I chose the partition disk size and clicked install. It started to partition the disk succesfully, I didn't see a cancel option so I force quit Bootcamp because I changed my mind and wanted to wait to install Windows. My iMac seems to be ok except that my hard drive has space taken up on it since I quit Bootcamp and stopped the partition. What do I need to delete so I can free up that space? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Ok, so if you don't see it BCA, open disk utility and see if you see the partition there. If so, try to erase it as a Mac journaled partition and see if DU will let you merge partitions into one - I've only had 50/50 luck here.
If this doesn't work, all I know is to clean install OSX from either USB or internet recovery (command + R). Once there, use the DU option to erase your entire HD to a Mac journaled partition. Good luck.

Problem with partition disk in 2010 MacBook Air

Hello!
I have a 2010 MacBook Air 11-inch and I can't do a partition disk with bootcamp. I have Windows 7 ISO and I have a bootable usb with this.Then, when I try to do partition with bootcamp , it said that I need a remote optical drive. I don't understand, because with my 2009 iMac I can do the partition with bootable usb since bootcamp. This problem is caused by bootcamp program is not well updated or simply, I can't do the partition without remote optical drive?
Thanks for help!

Exactly the same happened to me. Yesterday morning I opened the lid of my MBP8,1 (late 2011) on a meeting with a client and It just did not wake up :-/ After forced reboot it would never boot stuck on the same place.
Now what is happening any HDD will be recognized and booted aswell 10/10 attempts but SSD will not boot eventhough I reinstalled it all. The SSD WILL boot in other MBP and is visible on other systems.
The SSD WILL BOOT via USB.
I do not believe the disk is the problem.
My MB was replaced just few months ago. My SATA cable was replaced some time before the MB.

Stuck on Creating Partition Map

I was using the Install disk....the disk utility.....to erase my hard drive and now it is stuck on "Creating Partition Map". What do it do?
I am giving this i-Mac away so I want to make sure the disk is erased. Was it?

No, it sounds like there's been a problem. Do the following:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

RAID failed - Can't find status in disk utility

I have an Xserve G5 with 3 hitachi 80GB SATA hard drives with a RAID 5 (I think) running 10.4.6. A couple of days ago, the server was running really slow and the afp was taking up alot of cpu time, so we rebooted the server as we haven't had a problem with afp before. However, the server would no longer boot up and the RAID alarm started going off. Now when booting the server I get the apple screen and after a couple of minutes, the server's fan would start going faster and faster until they would be going full blast. So I tried to check the status using disk utility of the RAID, but I can't see any status. I admit that I have only been working with the xserve for almost a year and I don't know alot, but all I see on the left of the disk utility is xserve megaraid and below that Server HD. I checked both of these and clicked on all of the tabs (first aid, RAID, partition, restore, etc), but I can't find a place to check the status of the RAID. All I can find about RAID is how to create another one. I finally found that I can run megaraid -showstatus and it said that the first hard drive failed and the other 2 were online. I also took out the hard drive and ran hitachi's test drive software using the advanced test and it said everything was fine. So I'm not sure if there is just something wrong with the RAID or what.
I did order another hard drive that is exactly the same and it should be here in a couple of days. I also know that this is the hard drive that was accidentally ejected while the server was running before, but when the hard drive was put back in, the RAID rebuilt it and has been running fine till now. I am pretty sure that I shut the server off before when the hard drive got ejected and it would boot, so I'm just not sure exactly what this all means as the Hitachi software tells me there is nothing wrong with the drive.
Help please

I checked the status of the server and hard drive by booting off of the 10.4 installation disk, select utilities and disk utility.
I know very little about terminal, however I'm pretty good at dos so I can figure some things out if given some commands.
Anyway, I ran some commands and here are the results:
megaraid -showstatus
MEGARAID CLI version 1.0.12
No cmd argument
Um, so I think I remebered the command incorrectly and I did -showdevices instead. Sorry.
megaraid -showdevices

"Unable to determine destination partition, disk or drive" when Media deployment is used

We are heavy users of MDT 2013's "media" deployments -- in fact, once we finish testing a new image build on our lab server, media is created and is the sole method we use to deploy new systems due to many limitations.
We ran into the following issue lately when using USB sticks or hard drives for our deployment media. Deployment of an OS image fails at the "Inject Drivers" stage. The hard disk inside the computer is formatted properly, but the TS fails with
the error "Unable to determine destination partition, disk or drive".
I dug into the logs, and it appears that "Inject drivers" does a check for where the \Drivers folder should be placed. The problem is that most USB hard disks and many higher-end USB sticks show up as "hard drives" rather than "removable
media" when plugged into the machine. Adding another physical disk that appears as a fixed disk with an NTFS partition apparently confuses MDT and you get this error message. I think any "ReadyBoost enabled" USB stick has to show up on the system
as a fixed disk rather than removable, so if you use these you might have this problem.
The only workaround is to explicitly specify the disk number and partition number to use when you invoke "Install Operating System." The drivers step must take this information when determining where to put the driver store.
Is there any other explanation for why this would be happening? We're stuck with media deployment for the foreseeable future, and until Microsoft fixes the problem with handling of split WIM files, we have to use NTFS formatted disks/sticks...this might
be making it harder for the MDT logic to determine where to put the OS.

MDT should be smart enough to know that it should Skip USB drives.
However if you have a USB 3 Hard DIsk (not a USB Flash Disk), that might be the problem
1. Try using only Flash Drives.
2. Try plugging the USB Hard Drive into a USB 2.0 port
3. Additionally try not to use USB Hard Drives that are *Larger* that the internal hard drive.
If you still have problems, can you copy your Bdd.log file to a public site like OneDrive and share the link?

Unable to format partition, disk may be damaged

I was experiencing a problem with my Windows XP installation on Bootcamp. The Windows side kept restarting, and I could not find the reason, so I formatted with the Windows XP disc and tried to re-install it, but it didn't work. I forget the exact error as to why. So I went back to the Mac side and re-formatted the partition sing Bootcamp, and now when I try to re-install the Windows XP on the Bootcamp partition, I get the error:
Unable to format partition, disk may be damaged
What can I do? I don't understand, because this disk has worked before and I am on the mac side right now, so the actual disk does not appear to be damaged. What can I do?

Do a full format as it will check for errors and mark bad clusters if it finds any (full format = quick + chkdsk /x ), but only create one OS partition e.g like 30GB or something , this will be plenty enough for the os ,instead of the whole drive . Will save you time .
Wait with partitioning the rest of the drive as an extra partition until the OS is installed using diskmanagement .
Also make sure sata-dma is enabled in bios .

I need help on my MacBook Pro. Recently I've deleted another partition of my disk from the disk utility and I found out that my disk capacity wasn't get into the normal one which is 750GB. Meanwhile I installed window 7 into the partition disk.

I need help on restoring my disk capacity back to normal. I installed window 7 into the partition disk through bootcamp and I deleted it from disk utility. After I erase the partition disk,I get my capacity to 499GB but not 750GB. Do I need to reinstall my MacBook or something to do with the restoring?

You shouldn't do it. You have to erase the Windows volume with Boot Camp Assistant, so it will restore the space onto the OS X volume and that volume will have 750 GB.
As you did it with Disk Utility, you have to resize your OS X partition manually:
1. Open Disk Utility, select your hard disk at the top of the sidebar, and go to Partition tab.
2. You will see a bar with Macintosh HD. You have to click it at the bottom right corner and drag it to the end of the bar, so Macintosh HD will use all the space of the hard drive, and press Apply.
3. Close Disk Utility and your OS X partition will have 750 GB

Need help with Boot camp assistant!!! (partitioning disk)

when i click partition disk in boot camp asistan after 5 minuts this message appears:
*+Verification failed. This disk could not be partitioned.+*
+Use Disk Utility to repair this disk.+
anyone know how to fix this??
i really want bootcamp!

Yes. Your directory is damaged and needs to be repaired. Boot up to your original gray iMac install Disk but instead of going through the install process, after you select the language go up to the top under the Utilities Menu and open Disk Utility. Select your hard drive on the left hand side and under the First Aid tab click Repair Disk.

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
