Bootcamp partition problem

Okay, so I did something really stupid. I admit that up front. So I wanted to expand my Win 7 partition, so I went to the Bootcamp assistant and deleted the old partition, then opened it again and started to create a new larger partition. However the progress bar hung at about a third of the way complete for over ten minutes, so, like an idiot, I forced the assistant to quit. Now the space that was allocated to the partition is used up space on my hard drive, but the partition doesn't exist, and I can't get the space back. Bootcamp doesn't detect anything, Disk Utility doesn't detect anything, I used a program called Disk Inventory X to view all of my space allocations and it says that I'm only using about eighty gigs of stuff when according to the Mac itself I've only got about sixty gigs (of a 250 gig drive) free. So this space is sitting allocated somewhere in limbo, and I have no idea how to get it back.
Any help is appreciated.

The single partition is as large as possible.
However, in Disk Utility if I try to verify the disk it tells me that its damaged, needs repairs, and to insert a startup disk, boot from it, and use disk utility to repair it.
But if I try to do this the disk tries to install Snow Leopard, and won't allow me to access the Disk Utility. It tells me that SL can't be installed, and gives me the options to either restart the computer or restore from a time machine backup, neither of which are very helpful.
Its worth noting that I'm trying to use a Mac Mini SL start disk on a 2009 Macbook.

Bootcamp Partitioning Problem - HELP!

Hi,
I'm having a completely frustrating time trying to partition my hard drive in order to install Windows 7 via bootcamp.
I have used the Bootcamp Assistant to attempt division several times (trying to split between 5gb and 50gb to see if any would work) but each time I am presented with a message that:
"The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved.
Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
At the moment I don't have the facility to completely back up my hard drive and, after searching several forums the problem seemed to be solvable by defragmenting the whole drive to leave an area of contiguous space at the end of the drive. I created a bootable copy of iDefrag in order to allow the whole drive to be defragmented without having to worry about open programs etc...and left it running last night.
When I woke this morning defragmentation had completed and I can see from the illustration on the program that there is a large amount of contiguous space free at the end of the drive.
I have a 500gb drive, 152gb free and am at a loss at to why the thing won't partition.
Any help or advice which avoids having to restore from a Time Machine or SuperDuper! backup greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your reply -
I have tried to follow the steps detailed within the link that you provided but am encountering yet another problem early into my attempt.
When partitioning through Disk Utility I am getting the following error regardless of the size of partition I am attempting to create:
'Could not modify partition map because filesystem verification failed'
Am trying to repair disk permissions but if that fails will have to invest in a large enough external to back up onto.
Thanks again/

Bootcamp Partitioning Problems..

Hello,
I am trying to partition my MacBooks hard drive to give windows vista 13gbs of space. But every time I try to do it I get an error saying "Verification failed. This disk could not be partitioned.
Use Disk Utility to repair this disk."
I run disk utility and when it attempts to verify the disk I get: "The volume Joes Macbook needs to be repaired.
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed."
Is there anything I can do besides formatting. I had this problem before and a fresh install of os x fixed the problem. But I don't really want to this time..
Thanks.

possibly easier than reinstalling your OS: defrag.
it is mind-bogglingly stupid of Apple to not include a defragger with the OS. yes, disk utility can be helpful for some things, but it fixes permissions, not the physical location of data on your HD.
i am trying to install Linux via Boot Camp, and am having the exact same problem you are. i have 160GB drive with 110 free GB. i started at 20GB partition, got the same error message as you. i googled it and googled it. i went in increments of 1GB down (from 20) until i was trying to make a 10GB partition, and STILL got the error message. even with 110GB of free space, you can't find the space to make this tiny partition?! for shame, Boot Camp!
so basically, you can buy iDefrag for $30, or re-install your OS. either way, you will then have the chunk of free space you need.
again i ask, why can't Apple provide a free defragger? it makes no sense at all and it's an insult to make you buy third party software for something that should be built in.
FYI: i haven't used iDefrag myself, but people like it in the forums.

Problems with Bootcamp partition solved using program: iPartition

I Had real BOOTCAMP partition problems:
1. I couldn’t see the partition in the startup list
2. I got an error message “missing operating system”
3. All this was a result of adding an extra Mac partition for Mavericks
4. I fixed it all with a program called iPartition from “Coriolis Systems” in the United Kingdom!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, you're not alone. Many other users are having the same problem,and it appears that Apple is ignoring the problem. I bought my iMac 27" in June 2010 and installed Bootcamp 3.1 running Windows 7. About every other reboot the gray screen will freeze during bootup and I have to do a hard reboot. Sometimes I get the Disk Read Failure. It is very, very frustrating. The only reason I bought the iMac 27" is that I like the look of it and the big screen; I have no desire to switch to a Mac, as I have too much money invested in Windows development software. I've installed multiple dual-boot systems in other non-Mac systems and never had any problems. I hope Apple stops ignoring the problem and comes out with a fix real soon.

Problem with partition after deleting a bootcamp partition

Hi everyone !
First, excuse my english, I'm from France.
This morning, I've deleted the bootcamp partition I had created weeks ago. But when I've tried to extend the principal partition on the empty space left by bootcamp, the Disk Utilitaire says : "Partition failed : impossible to modify the partition map because the verification of the files system failed."
I tried to extend the partition with the hided partition that we use when we can't boot on the main partition (I don't know how to say its name in english).
If someone have a solution, it would be cool !

Back everything up (preferably twice, 3 times for the really paranoid). I would use Carbon Copy Cloner and/or SuperDuper to make bootable clones to external disks.
Test the clone(s) by booting from them.
Repartition the boot disk the way you want it.
Restore your cloned system from the external disk.

Upgrading to Mac OS X lion - problems having a bootcamp partition?

I was just wondering if i should delete my bootcamp partition running windows 7 before i install Mac OS X Lion?
Btw, the format of the partition is NTFS (if this is at all relavent).

No just leave it. It's unaffected by the lion update. if you edited your Bootcamp partition afterwards look at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4649
Do make sure that your Mac disk is error free (run disk utility) and that you have > 15gb free.

Bootcamp partition resize problems

Hi everyone,
In first words i need to admit im a total noob at this terminal tricks, but thuought past 3 days im trying to make that up as i have caused some major malufunction in disk tables :< I have recently needed some extra space on my bootcamp partition, i did this by shrinking Macintosh HD main partition by couple of GB, than i booted Windows and used some user friendly application to extend bootcamp partiton. It worked till the reboot. Next time when i wanted to boot windows the screen was black. I used the advices found here:
- https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4144252
nothing changed.
So i used advices in this site:
- http://jonsview.com/fixing-mbr-tables-on-imac-or-mbp-triple-boot-setups
and matched partitons start LBA and size so that GPT would match MBR, now when i try to boot windows it tries to boot but a message saying "missing operating system" appears. I tried to understand this whole MBR, GPT and GRUB magic but 3 days is just not enough.
1) This is what Partition inspector prints:

Now that is odd for me and i suspect it could have a big role in this malufanction is a fact, that my BOOTCAMP is no longer 42.1GB as i added to this value some between 16-18 GB. Also start sector and end sector of BOOTCAMP were changed as i used site mntioned above to calculate the (as i think) proper value (used - http://jonsview.com/fixing-mbr-tables-on-imac-or-mbp-triple-boot-setups)
Im stuck in this strange situation, im really determined to fix that as i regard formating as a last resort.
Any help welcomed

You can not resize partitions on a drive containing a Boot Camp partition, except by using Camp Tune. If you modified the partitions without using Camp Tune you will have to erase and reformat your drive to a single OSX partition. Then you will need to run Boot Camp Assistant and reinstall Windows.

Upgrading MacBook Pro Hard Drive - cannot get Bootcamp partition to work

Hello,
The other day, I decided to replace my 320 GB hard drive with a 1 TB hard drive/SSD hybrid. I did a little bit of research about cloning the drive before that, and it seemed pretty straight forward to clone the OS X partition, but I wasn't really sure about cloning my Windows partition. Originally, my 320 GB hard drive had 2 partitions: 220 GB for OS X Mavericks, and 100 GB for Windows 8.1.
I bought the new drive with an external enclosure and plugged it in. The first thing I did was open Disk Utility and partitioned the new hard drive (750 GB HFS+, 250 GB NTFS). I figured I would need to partition it first and clone each partition separately. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the OS X partition, and it worked with no problem (I immediately could restart my computer and boot with the partition on the new drive, while it was still plugged in by USB).
Next, I tried using CCC to clone the Windows partition the same way (I realize now that CCC cannot do this). 7 hours later, the cloning was complete, but there was an error that a couple files couldn't be copied. I tried copying them manually but it didn't work. I wasn't sure if the Windows partition would work, so to find out, I switched the hard drives and put the old 320 GB one in the external enclosure. I booted my computer and it booted the new OS X partition with no problem. It also mounted the Windows partition that I cloned with CCC, and I can access all of the files in it. However, when I restarted and held down "option", it would not let me boot the Windows partition.
After some googling, I realized CCC is not able to clone a bootcamp partition and make it bootable, so I opened disk utility and deleted the Windows partition (using the minus button), then recreated it (using the plus button). I downloaded Winclone (paid $30), which supposedly can clone a bootcamp partition. I opened Winclone and it seemed pretty simple: you just choose the source partition on the left, and the target on the right. I plugged in the USB enclosure with my old hard drive, and in the Winclone menu the original Windows partition popped up. I chose that as my source, and chose to copy it to the new NTFS partition on the new drive that I created. I left it on overnight, and when I woke up it said it was completed.
I now had two drives mounted: my NTFS partition that I created, and a new one that said "EFI". I have no idea what EFI is. My NTFS partition looks like it has all of the files from my original Windows partition on it; however, when I restart it does not allow me to boot with it, although I now have the option to boot EFI. When I select EFI, I am given the Windows 8.1 start up screen (with the blue Windows logo), but then an error message pops up saying something like there is an issue and it needs to restart (it restarted before I could read the whole thing).
When I boot in OS X, I only have the NTFS partition (with all my Windows files) mounted, and no EFI. When I restart, I can still boot EFI, but I always get the same message and then it restarts.
Is there any way I can fix my Windows partition so that it works the same way it did on my old drive? What is EFI? Can I delete it? How can I make the NTFS partition, which seems to have all of my files, bootable? I only want 2 partitions: one for OS X, and one for Windows. Also, can I do all of this without having to reinstall either of the operating systems?
Thanks

Hmm, that's a good question!
I headed over to the twocanoes website (the folks that make Winclone) and their guide mentions something about running Sysprep before you create the Windows image. If you skipped that step, that may be why you're having issues
http://www.twocanoes.com/support/winclone/migrating-a-bootcamp-partition-with-wi nclone/
Step 24 in that guide also mentions copying a Boot file - were you able to/did you do that?
You may have better luck over in the Bootcamp forum, which is here.

I have a Bootcamp partition on my Imac with Mavericks which I can't delete because the Partition Layout is greyed out and is stuck on 'Current'. What can I do?

I have a Bootcamp partition on my Imac with Mavericks which I can't delete because the Partition Layout in Disk Utility is greyed out and is stuck on 'Current'. What can I do? I was trying to install Windows 8.1 but apparently, this is not yet possible.
I was originally able to restore to my original Mac OSX partition using Boot Camp Assistant but then after entering Disk Utility and re-RAIDing the default RAID 1 to RAID 0 in the BootCamp partition (I suspect this is the cause of the problem but why was it defaulted to RAID 1 in the first place?!!!!), forever afterwards, I couldn't restore the single OSX partition.
Whenever I used BootCamp Assistant my choice to 'Install or remove Windows 7 or later version' was greyed out. Finally I went to Disk Utility to repartition but the Macintosh HD and BootCamp disk partition functions were also greyed out (even if I started up from Recovery mode holding down option, command and 'R' and choosing Disk Utility). BootCamp Assistant gives the error message 'The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition' with additional small script 'The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows', and DU gives the error message 'The full size of the Fusion drive is not available for repartitioning'.
What can I do to fix this problem? How can I make the Partition Layout button active in DU so I can change the partition to all OSX? I'm prepared to wipe off all my data etc to repartition and have backed up all to disk using Time Machine.

My problem is fixed now, thank you. It was caused by my changing the Boot Camp partition's 'RAID1' to 'RAID0'. If I hadn't done that, Boot Camp would still have been able to 'restore' back to the one partition. It was fixed with the help of Applecare by using a terminal and typing a command to erase the IP of the Macintosh disk (not the volume) as well as the IP of the Bootcamp partition (if I remember correctly), but then I had to restore the OS and all my applications and data etc which I had previously backed up using Time Machine. I haven't taken note of the exact command terminology used. It would be wise to speak to Applecare about this if possible.
Two words of warning, 1. According to the cause of this problem, it might be wise, after reinstalling the ops system to reinstall all extra applications one by one, manually, in case a similar problem arises again. Then manually copy back all data. Or the Mac user could use the Time Machine backup and then uninstall all the added apps then re-install them one by one manually. 2. Beware as after all this the user might not have the 'Recovery partition'. There is a small recovery partition (a few 100 Mb is size) which comes with all later Macs. After all this is done this tiny partition might not be there anymore and the user might have to re-install Mavericks again to get it back, or just install the upcoming update of Mavericks due in a month or so.

How can I restore Windows 7 to Bootcamp partition - not reformat the entire hard drive?

Hello Apple (Mac) Community,
I originally posted this question over on answers.microsoft, but no help was forthcoming. Hope someone can help me with a problem that's (almost) making me nuts! I teach graphics to college students. In brief: I run Windows 7 Pro 64 on a Mac Pro tower, along with Snow Leopard (OSX). Windows is loaded on one partition of a 1TB drive. The other partition is a Mac backup. The Mac OS is on a different drive. Everything was going swimmingly with both OS, until recently. Unfortunately, the drive with Windows showed problems and I determined that the HD was either toast or needed a total reformat. My Mac data was all backed-up. Now I wanted to backup Windows so I can easily get back to the relatively happy point of my Windows 7 experience (drivers loaded, dual monitors all working, etc.). I did some online searching and the recommendation was to create a "system image" of the existing Windows 7 install by attaching an external drive, formatting that to NTFS and selecting "backup to image" in Windows. I did that and also took the opportunity to "create a backup disc" on a DVD. (Windows recommended). Next I rebooted back to Mac OS and completely reformatted the problem 1TB disc to a single partition, zero all data, just to see if it would actually reformat. It all worked! So far, so good. Next I used Bootcamp to create two partitions, one for Windows. I then restarted using the Win7 Pro (64) install disc, reformatted the Bootcamp disk to NTFS (as required) and installed Windows 7. After all that is completed and all working, I next try to use the restore from image function while booted in Windows. I'm instructed to restart from the Win install disc, which I do. Here's where things get difficult. When I try to choose restore from image, at that point the installer asks which drives to I want to exclude... but does not show partitions, only full HDs. I do not want to reformat the entire 1TB drive. I only want Windows on the 120gb Bootcamp partition (which is already formatted for Windows BTW). I spent a lot of time online reading through articles with users having the same frustration.
So here (at long last) is my question: How can I either restore Windows just to a Bootcamp partition... using "Windows System Image" or if that can't be done... can I somehow import all of the settings, etc. from the "image" (image is on external HD) into a fresh Win 7 install? So far the "backup disc" also seems useless. I can't even boot to Windows from it. BTW Apple folks: the only response on the MS side was that some "expert" simply posted links on how to install Windows and restore... not helpful with my particular problem of restoring to a partition.
Any help would be appreciated! Hopefully some help that even a Mac user / new Windows user could understand would be better! Thanks!

WinClone 3 is OS X and saves Windows image it makes for restore - that should work but you will have to try and you would need to make a new image unless it also works with a native Windows system restore image. It is now supported and has come a long way.
http://www.twocanoes.com/
Paragon Clone OS works and does disk-to-disk clone just like CCC you end up with two bootable drives. But does not work with your setup. It would let you clone and move your Windows install to an SSD or another disk drive though and be bootable.
During its clone process it checks for errors which is very helpful and lets you know - something CCC and others should adopt more of.

There are a number of things to do like chkdsk and others as well as Windows DVD to do automatic system repairs and find out why.

I would rearrange and redo your storage setup and how you use the 4-5 internal hard drive bays.

Recovering bootcamp partition - is there a solution that works?

Dealing with bootcamp issues after a Lion upgrade seems to be a common problem with no agreed solution.
When I upgraded my iMac to Lion, the upgrade process couldn't create a recovery partition so Apple support advised me to use Disk Utility to create a small (5 GB) block of free space on my harddisk for the recovery partition to use and then to use Disk Utility to enlarge the OSX partition again to recover whatever remaining free space was left after the Lion upgrade had completed.
This I duly did. However, after I enlarged the OSX partition using Disk Utility to recover the free space I found that a) the Bootcamp partition had been renamed "disk0s4" and b) when holding down the Option key when booting, the Recovery option was now labelled "EFI Boot" and appeared to boot from the regular OSX partition. Attempting to boot windows in Bootcamp results in a "missing operating system" error message.
I'm not so worried about the recovery partition as I have a bootable DVD and USB flash drive.
What I would like to do is recover some files from the Windows partition. There is a lot of opinions in the Apple suport forums about what works such as, booting Windows from the install disk and running the "fixmbr" and "fixboot" commands or using rEFIt or BootPicker (which doesn't seem to work on Lion).
Is there a reliable approach to fixing this problem so that I can at least read the contents of the partition, even if I can't boot from it? If I can't actualy recover the partition I'm not too fussed, so long as I can get the data off it.
Thanks...Macs

Why do you suggest installing Lion on an external h/disk? Is this because of problems with Lion or just suggested standard procedure?
Some of the options may work although I am unable to mount the partition at all (in OSX or by booting from a Linux live CD and trying to mount it from there) so I'm not sure how far any of them will get.
I haven't tried booting from the Windows DVD as yet.

I wondered whether the entry in the partition table had been completely screwed so I had a look with FDisk and GDisk.

From looking at the Fdisk and GDisk output I cannot see where the problem is occurring (although I know 2/5ths of stuff all about partition tables). I notice that the Bootcamp partition is now lacking a name although I don't know whether this matters or not and strangely FDisk identifies it as an HPFS filesystem whereas Disk Utility identifies it as MSDOS (FAT).

Bootcamp partition shows up as grey "disk0s4" in Disk Utility

Hello everyone,
So I am a few days into this tiring and discouraging process of trying to get my iMac back to it's original working state. Here's to hoping for a solution:
Ever since I bought my iMac, I've been running OSX Mountain Lion with Win7 installed through BootCamp, without any problems. I recently wanted to increase my Boot Camp partition size from 80GB to 149GB because I was running low on disk space, and that was the start of many problems to come.
Here's what I tried first:
Make a backup copy of my OSX partition through Disk Utility's "Restore" tab (onto external HD 1)
Make a backup copy of my Windows partition through "Create a system image" in Windows Control Panel (onto external HD 2)
Use WinClone to backup a copy of my Windows partition
Erase Boot Camp partition in Disk Utility
Resize Mac OS partition to max
Create new FAT partition (149 GB)
Restore WinClone backup to the FAT partition (hoping it'll "fill up" the remaining free space)
I don't remember all the details, but all of this led to Windows not being able to boot properly, and then soon after, OS X wouldn't work either. The built-in Recovery HD somehow became unusable and showed up as grey in Disk Utility (too chaotic to remember how). After much trial and error, I was left with the Mac's built in Internet Recovery option, which I used to reinstall OS X Mountain Lion (on top of the existing Mac partition). Afterward, I regained the Recovery HD, and resized the Mac OS X partition to cover over the unusable free space that remained.
After that:
Ran Boot Camp Assistant to start the Windows installation process from scratch.
After the installation finished, I used "System Image Recovery" from a bootable Windows Recovery USB that I created.
Upon restart, Windows would not boot (which was fixed using the bootrec commands within Command Prompt off the USB).
This allowed Windows to boot fine, and it was exactly as it was before this all began.
Now, here are my current problems.
I believe the simplest way to achieve my original goal of extending my Windows partition would be to use Paragon's Camptune X, but upon running it, it tells me it can't find any Bootcamp configuration on my system.
While both OSX and Windows appear on the Startup Manager when I hold down the "option" key (which boot and run just fine), the "BOOTCAMP" partition that I would normally see in Disk Utility (under Macintosh HD) is now listed as "disk0s4", is grey, and "unmounted". It's also listed as MS-DOS (FAT), while it shows up as NTFS within Windows.
The Startup Disk preference pane lists Macintosh HD as the only choice.
I'm exhausted from the past week of repeated backup/reinstallations and trying to make this work. I've done my share of research and reading related forum threads, with no real solution. I am hoping "The hatter" will see this, as he's offered much info/advice on this topic on these boards, but I still haven't been able to resolve this issue.
Thanks for reading, anyone have any ideas?

By using Disk Utility to try to resize your Bootcamp partition you messed up your hard disk. You need to backup all your data from the disk, eraze and format your disk, and reinstall OSx, then if you want a new Bootcamp partition run Bootcamp Assistant.
Next time you want to resize the Bootcamp partition use CampTune, not Disk Utility.

NTFS format partition problem - install Windows 8.1

I cannot install Windows 8.1 from USB via bootcamp, on Mavericks late 2013 rMPB 15"
When I get towards the end of the Windows Setup screen the Bootcamp partition is showing as not NTFS format
There is no 'advanced options' to click, under the 4 partition options.
I have pressed Option and tried installing through either the 'Windows' partition and the 'EFI' partition - both have the NTFS format problem.

Just hit the 'format' button - looks like it might be working now

Replaced my iMac optical drive with ssd - now I can't create a bootcamp partition

I have a late 2009 imac 27". Recently my imac hard drive crashed so I used this opportunity to replace the broken hard drive and also replacethe iMac optical drive with a SSD drive. The idea was to use the ssd drive as my bootcamp partition and boost things up. WRONG IDEA!
I wasted already 5 hours trying to get bootcamp to install windows 7 onto the ssd using an external optical drive, a USB drive, an internal partition of my new hard drive. I used rEFIt to try and boot from these fine devices - nothing! Once the OS restarts to install Windows 7 it gets stuck either in blank screen or with a message that it requires a bootable device.
This is one of the most puzzling situation I've seen. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Amir

This is the same problem people have with their MacBook Pro. Some people have had success using rEFIT, but many didn't. The only solution that I found was just installing my opitcal drive back in and installing windows on what ever hardrive you need. Then taking the optical drive back out. I know that sounds like a lot of work, but once your done you will be relieved.
