BOOTCAMP partition not visible in Finder, not Mountable in Disk Utility

Did a fresh Bootcamp install of Windows 7 on my MBA running 10.9.4, switched back and forth a few times and now the BOOTCAMP partition doesn't show up in the left pane in Finder. I hopped into Disk Utility to see what was going on and it was there, just not mounted, so I clicked mount, was told it couldn't be mounted, and it suggested I run first aid on it. I clicked Verify, nothing useful to me, then Repair, and got quite a lot of feedback that I do not understand, and then after that it was still unmountable.
I tried to copy everything it said into a pastebin because it was very long with lots of starting and stopping and counting percents inbetween, but it was over 500kb and that's the limit for free users on pastebin, so here's a trimmed version. http://pastebin.com/neBUTdZi
I tried booting into Windows after that, and it jumped into System Repair. Apparently, according to Windows, my Boot Manager is missing or corrupt... and since I still can't access it from the Mac side of things, I thought I'd just wipe the partition in BootCamp Utility and start over.
Except instead, I get this error:
"Your disk could not be restored to a single partition.
An error occurred while restoring the disk to a single partition."
Disk Utility let me wipe it but I still can't mount it, either, again suggesting I run first aid on it (this does nothing). I can't boot into the Mac's Recovery mode either. It just jumps straight to Internet Recovery. When I hold option upon boot, all three partitions show up (Mac, Recovery, Windows), but when I click the recovery one it loads for a bit and then the laptop just instantly shuts off.... I'm more than a little frightened now. Have I corrupted my internal harddrive perchance?

You should be able to do it from Internet Recovery or you can try to add the Recovery partition back.

  • External Hard Disk not accessible in Finder, but OK in Disk Utility

    My external hard drive suddenly disappeared from Finder, but is still there for the disk utility. I connected this Firewire drive to anouther Mac, and it couldn't find it either. I then copied a disk image of this external drive the system hard drive, and that disk image is also invisible. How do I get back my 89 gigabytes of data, which is still there? The disk needed no repairs, and my permissions on the system disk are OK.

    Well, I got the terminal utility to work alright, but the disk name, Extra 80 GB, which the program correctly lists, then won't work with the chown command. It picks up the Extra, then the 80, then the GB, and thinks they are all separate names, and then can't find any of them.

  • Verbatim disk drive historically used only for time machine backups. Recently i added some other media files to use some of available space without partitioning, the disc now refuses to mount in finder despite appearing in disk utility. Repair fails. HELP

    Sorry to elaborate a bit more.
    I have used time machine since owning my mac book pro with no issues. i keep the timemachine backups on an external hard drive made by Verbatim. This has not external power source.
    Recently i decided to use up some of the available space on the external verbatim disk drive to store some movie files which were sitting on my macbook pro.
    Therefore i created a new folder outside of the time machine backup folder and stored the movie files in there.
    From then on Time machine failed... and a few days later i noticed it was not mounting in 'finder'
    Therefore i used disk utility to see if it was recognising it. Which i was. However when i try to repair it the repair process fails.
    In disk utility i am presented with 1 TB Samsung HN M10 which has a child called Verbatim HD.
    The 1TB Samsung hardware appears fine, but the verbatim disk i am unable to fully verify and fix.
    Does this mean i have lost all my back ups?
    Have I lost all the media that i put on there?
    Is there any way to fix this?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    didier07...

    To summarize: You used an external Verbatim HD for your TM backups. Then, you stored some movie files on the "spare" space on the Verbatim drive. Now, Disk Utility isn't being recognized, and repair is disabled. Your home Samsung drive is working fine, but the Verbatim cannot be verified.
    The problem, I believe, is that the external Verbatim drive wasn't partitioned. There should be two partitions: one for TM backups, the other for video. That way, you can perform backups, and still retain some space for video or somesuch.
    Frankly, I don't know how to fix this except through the following. (1) Erase the Verbatim drive, (2) Create a new blank space and format it, (3) Make two partitions - one for backup, the other for video. (4) Run TM through one partition, but switch to the other for your videos.  The better solution might be to have one dedicated drive (perhaps the Verbatim) for backups, and another dedicated drive for video backups; that way, you'll have plenty of space for expansion.
    I hope someone will correct me if I'm incorrect, but I believe you've essentially lost your backups and media. I don't know how you can retrieve that clump of the now-undifferentiated data on the Verbatim drive. To retrieve any lost data, you're going to require another external drive that's larger in capacity, as well as data recovery software; don't expect encouraging results. If you're desperate, there are firms like Drive Savers that can offer a more comprehensive solution - at a cost.

  • Items downloaded from internet are not visible in finder?

    When an item is downloaded (using google chrome) it is not visible in Finder. This began with OS X Mavericks upgrade.

    Where is your default download folder?

  • Yosemite: Thumbnails not visible in Finder

    I ran into a strange problem immediately after updating to Yosemite.
    I have a 2014 mbp dual-video, 16 gb ram.
    In any folder on my drive icons are not visible. They are there, I can drag and copy-paste folders and files, but the finder only shows a blank white window. Everything looks normal in List, Columns or Cover Flow modes.
    I did a safe mode boot and restarted normally and everything went back to normal, including visible icons. But now I have the problem with an external ExFat drive. Anyone know how to solve this or what's going on?

    Here's my problem, that continues with newly created folders. You can see that this folder has 5 items in it, with one selected. But they are not visible when Finder is set to icon mode.
    Also, when I drag a corner of the Finder window to make it bigger, i get some "dragging" visual artifacts that are not visible in the screenshots but appear on my screen.

  • Applications not visible in finder

    I loaded Mountian Lion on to my Macbook Pro and now my applications subfolder is not visible in Finder?  I can't seem to find it anywhere?  Any ideas where it went to?
    Thanks!

    Your Applications folder should be in Macintosh HD/Applications.
    Not sure what you mean by a sub-folder?
    Can you launch your apps from the Dock?

  • Internal Hard Drive is not visible in Finder or Desktop or anywhere

    The problem first and then the details.
    I cannot see my systems hard drive, No icon shows up on the desktop, and it is not visible in the Finder.
    It does however show up in Disk Utility.
    I have repaired permissions and repaired the disk, both from within the OS and also from the install disc during a reboot.
    Not here are some details. This is both a fresh install of the OS AND a brand new drive. I just had it installed today and then reinstalled the OS.
    While going thru the process of reinstalling all my software, something froze for no good reason, and I eventually had to force quit the finder and when the system wouldn't shut down, I had to physically power it off.
    Upon rebooting, my systems HD is no longer visible.
    I suppose I can try and reinstall again, but I feel like there has to be a smarter way to deal with this.
    Any suggestions?

    Have you confirmed that in Finder > Finder menu > Preferences > General and Sidebar tabs that the boxes to show hard disks are checked?
    Assuming they are checked, you may a victim of the 'invisible drive' problem. See Francine's helpful tutorial for the fix:

  • External hard drive not visible in Finder or Disk Utility

    Hi everyone,
    My Wester Digital 2TB external hard drive has disappeared, so to speak, with all my photos. I work as a freelance photographer. Mostly on Lightroom 5.6
    When I plug it in, with firewire, I can feel the disk rotating normally however it does not appear in finder or disk utility.
    I've tried using a USB cable, restarting my mac, forced restart, changing firewire ports (HD has 2 ports), plugging the HD into a different laptop and nothing.
    Ive also searched Finder prefrences and visibility is enabled.
    I have no idea what could have caused this as I was using the HD the night before. I didnt pullout without properly ejecting. Maybe the HD is full or almost, but I dont think that would the cause of these troubles.
    I'm using a late 2011 Macbook Pro OS X 10.9.4
    Any suggestions??
    Thanx

    An update for anyone who can help me:
    I have tried the external hard drive in other computers (mac and windows), each time I get the same problem above.
    I have removed the HD from the enclosure and purchased a docking station for it (3.5" SATA). When I plug it in to the laptop it disconnects itself straight away before it is visible. With the windows computers it installs the drivers and says that the device is ready to use, then disconnects before it shows up.
    As the HD is not visible there is no option to re-format or anything.
    This is very frustrating as I was using the HD with no issues and it randomly disconnected and I have not been able to access since.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • External hard drive not visible in Finder, but is operating

    iMac, 2 Gb RAM, Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
    It has 4 external USB drives attached through a powered hub. All of a sudden, after about a year, one of them no longer shows up in ‘Finder’. However, all four drives have an icon on the desktop. The drive is visible and verifiable in ‘Disk Utility’. Double clicking the desktop icon opens the drive and I can copy a file from it. iTunes can see it. From a Macbook’s ‘Finder’, over WiFi, I can see and copy files to and from the drive. Finder Preferences shows nothing amiss. I’ve shut down and restarted the iMac several times with no change. The drive just does not show up in Finder on the host iMac.
    Searching this forum has not helped. Any suggestions?

    Well, this is embarrassing. A suggestion from an older thread on Macrumors.com called "Hard Drive does not appear in Finder / Desktop", solved this problem. Simply drag the missing drive icon from the desktop to Finder! Perseverance and different search wording AND reading a lot of stuff pays off.
    If other's problem is not solved with this fix, you might benefit from this 10.5-based thread. They also mention an Apple 10.5 fix. Both URL's below.
    The op's problem was that the drive did not appear in Finder OR the desktop but was operational. There was a lot of in-depth information with this fix embedded.
    Thanks for the interest and suggestions.

  • My new folders are not visible in Finder

    New folders (generated by a application, SABNZB+, that runs in the background as a web service) will only show up in Finder once I have run a search in Finder and are not visible before. I have tried a disk repair and a permissions rebuild.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Yes they do, no problems there.
    I am starting to believe it might have to do with the fact that the folders are created by an unarchiver that reassembles files after they are downloaded from my newsgroup. The strange thing is that there never used to be a problem, it started somewhere around the second update to mountain lion. But it could also be a new version of the application SABNzb+, I am not sure.
    What is also weird is this: I can find the folder when doing a search in Finder, then open the folder, all files are there and the folder is then visible normally.
    Edit: The files are reassembled by the unarchiver on the main Macintosh HD, then moved to a different volume and deleted from the originating volume. 

  • Camera not visible in Finder

    Just installed 10.5.1 and iPhoto update.
    When I connect my camera to my iMac, iPhoto opens....but the camera is not visible in the Finder !
    Any suggestions ? Or is this a new bug?
    Best regards,
    Roeland

    You are asking about iPhoto on your Mac, right? And not about iPhoto on your IOS device? This is the iPhoto on IOS forum. I have asked the community hosts to relocate your post to the iLife iPhoto forum - you will get more help there.
    What is your iPhoto version? Assuming you are having iPhoto '11, you'd should see the photos in the iPhoto Library package using the Finder, if they are there; but dont move them, only browse them, if you can  find them.
    Reveal your iPhoto Library and in the Finder; it is probably in your "Pictures" folder, ctrl-click it, select "Reveal Package Contents". In the Finder window that will pop up, select the "Masters" folder. This scores the original images, organized by the date of the "Import Session" o f the event.
    If your images are still there, I'd copy - not move! - them to a folder on your Desktop and then try to rebuild the iPhoto library. Make a backup of the iPhoto library, then hold down the key combionation option-command and select "rebuild database" from the dialog that pops up.
    Regards
