Bootcamp partitioning error: "enable journaling", but my drive is journaled already.

Hi,
I'm trying to partition my Mac OS X (10.6.8) to install Windows 7, but during the partitioning process an error comes up that tells me my drive needs to be in Extended (Journaled) format, and directs me to Disk Utilities. However, my drive is already in that format, it always has been, and the option to do so is grayed out as a result. I've combed the message boards for similar problems but the only solution I've seen involved already existing partitions that weren't all journaled, but that doesn't apply to my case. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Are there any other partitions on the drive besides your startup volume?
You might try:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard 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 Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • 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.

    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.

    I wish for our/my sake you had re-read and rewritten the long 'story' and broken it into a brief list of facts we needed.
    OS X

    Backup (though external is much safer) and you want bootable OS X clones as well as TimeMachine

    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.
    AppleHFS - the abilty to mount and read HFS volumes can be notorious.
    I would rearrange and redo your storage setup and how you use the 4-5 internal hard drive bays.

  • Error Enabling Journaling with diskutil enableJournal diskXsX

    I have few large backup volumes built specifically as HFS+ with Journaling disabled but now I notice problems where we have to wait very long time for hfs_fsck to complete its checkup and have decided to go back and enable journaling but keep getting errors. Here is more detail:
    After I ran:
    sudo fsck_hfs /dev/disk14s3
    And it completed without problem then I ran:
    sudo diskutil enableJournal disk14s3
    Which gives me following error:
    An error occured journaling the filesystem
    Checking volume info it shows:
    File System: HFS+
    Owners: Enabled
    Partition Type: Apple_HFS
    Bootable: Is bootable
    Media Type: Generic
    Total Size: 9.2 TB
    Free Space: 548.3 GB
    Read Only: No
    Ejectable: Yes
    I have unmounted and mounted this volume without problem and have tried different variations of "diskutil enableJournal xxx" but everytime I get same error. I've also "Disk Utility" Enable Journaling option with no success and have tried diskutil with "sudo -s" option and tried "diskutil disableJournal xxx" and it shows:
    Journaling was already disabled on the volume
    I have another similar volume that has 2 TB available space and am getting same error not enabling journaling. First volume has around 85,000 files and second one close to 800,000.
    Appreciate any input?

    I'm able to enable journaling on all other volumes under 2TB beside those large ones (9TB). I've tried "mount_hfs -j -c /dev/disk13s3 /Volumes/BadJournal" and when I ran "diskutil info disk13s3" it shows File System is "HFS+ Journaled" which shouldn't be the case and after I ran "disktool -r disk13s3" it reverted back and showed HFS+ only. I've also ran multiple hfs_fsck, diskutil repairDisk, and reboot which don't show any problem and still not able to enable journaling.
    Could this be a limitation of diskutil not able to enableJournal for 9TB volumes or volumes with large number of files?
    Appreciate any help

  • Help needed with delete of bootcamp partition, error message 'Couldn't unmount disk'

    Hello all
    Sorry if this issue has been repeated elsewhere, I did search but there wasn't a discussion relating to my specific issue.
    When we bought the iMac a couple of years ago, my husband partitioned the hard drive to run Windows via Bootcamp. Having got used to the Mac and experiencing the frustration between having to reboot to access each partition I have decided to restore the Mac to factory settings and install Parallels 8 so I can continue to use Office and Coreldraw).
    So having backed up all of my files, I started the Mac up holding the 'Alt' key and then loaded the Recovery HD mode followed by Disk Utility. I then selected Bootcamp and erased all data from the partition. [Note: there are 2 files left which it won't allow me to erase through this method]
    I then selected the main drive and the tab 'Partition', from the layout I then selected Bootcamp and clicked the minus button. I get the message confirming which partition I am about to delete and hit remove. I then get the error message 'Partition failed: couldn't unmount disk'.
    I would be very grateful for some help please? I am not the best techy person but happy to give anything a go.
    Just to mention there is nothing left on the Mac that I want to keep, therefore if there is an easier way than having to delete the partition then happy to hear it.
    Thanks

  • Bootcamp Partitioning Error?

    Hello
    I am trying to use bootcamp to partition a disk of windows 8.1 onto my Mac.  I can go through up until the point where it tells me to install.  Then it starts installing and gives me this error message after a few seconds:
    Your disk could not be partitioned
    An error occurred while partitioning the disk
    So I really really need to figure out a way around this.
    I am using a mac from mid 2011 and I am trying to install windows 8.1 64 bit.
    If you can help me out that would be great.
    (P.S. I did set up this windoes 8.1 disk with parallels on my computer originally but then I uninstalled it so I could use bootcamp and then use parallels with it later.  Could having already used the disk be the problem?)
    Thanks for reading my problem

    Maybe this can help
    I have been trying to make a partition lately for windoes 8.1
    I have OSK Mavericks and I tried both using bootcamp to make a partition and then I tried using disk utility to make a partition.  I have looked up how to fix it such as verifying the disk or verifying the disk on the repair drive. I have also tried typing in that command in the Command+S startup.
    (Btw the first time I tried partitioning through Bootcamp it was working but then I ejected my usb as it was making the partition and it gave me an error.  Partitioning has been giving me errors ever sense that.)
    (sorry about the weird white highlighting)

  • Can you copy the Windows Bootcamp partition over to a new hard drive?

    I'm out of space on my hard drive so I'm adding a larger one.  I originally just wanted to use my time capsule for a backup, but then I remembered about my Windows partition.
    What would be the most efficient way to copy both partitions from my original drive to the new drive for install?
    I have a Macbook Pro 13in Late 2011 model and running OSX 10.9.5.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Respectfully,

    Backup your Windows software using Windows backup software to a Windows formatted disk. Create a new Boot Camp partition on the new drive. Install Windows on it, then restore your backup. You can also buy disk cloning software that can clone the system to another drive and restore the entire clone. I believe Acronis has such software.

  • Bootcamp partition error.

    I get this message appears every time I try to partition my MacBook, The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved, message. Underneath it also gives the message, "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." What should I do? I have tried to lower the amount that I partition and doing a 7-pass clear of my free area. I have 45 GB unused and I want to partition 21 Gb.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    the 'some files cannot be moved' message you saw indicates that the BootCamp Assistant cannot find enough *free contigeous diskspace* to make the Windows partition in the size you want.
    A 7-pass clearance of your current free diskspace doesn't help since the free space is too 'cluttered' all over your harddisk.
    Have a read in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12132221&#12132221 for maybe a solution.

  • Bootcamp partition fully bootable within VMWare, but not showing up in startup with option key - nor does it work when selecting target startup disk

    Hey all,
    Today I resized my OSX partition with the intention of leaving it blank for my new SSD to use as over provisioning space. This resulted in me having 5 partitions on the drive for a short while (which may have caused the issue?). Hereafter, the Windows 8 partition was stopped showing up when pressing option on startup. I opened my bootcamp partition in VMWare Fusion and could was told the drive was unbootable. I used the Windows 8 cd in through VMWare Fusion to run the Auto Repair from the installation CD (probably MBR records and BCD records etc). Then VMWare was able to fully boot my Windows 8 installation without any problem. However, I am still not able to actually boot into my Windows 8 installation as it doesn't show up at startup, and when chosen as target start disk within OSX the computer just hangs on startup before it reboots.
    I am considering the possibility of some mis-sync between the GPT tables OSX is using and the MBR records used by Windows 8... I have run a few commands and gotten the following response:

  • How to clone bootcamp partition on Mac?

    Hello!
    I currently have a 200GB bootcamp partition on my 2TB internal iMac hard drive. I want more space for my windows partition. I have a spare 500GB Hard drive laying around, and was wondering if there was a way that I could clone the bootcamp partition from my iMac onto that drive. I'd still want it to be bootable.That way I could have an extra 300GB of space without sacrificing my internal HD. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks!

    Mac OS Yosemite and Win8.1 on external Thunderbolt/USB 3 drive.
    How to:
    Remember before you start: Make sure you have updated backups on everything involved, unmount all not necessary drives. during the different stages unmount the drive not working on i.e. if you are doing things on the  external unmount the internal. Take your time and be sure to choose the right drive and partition so you don’t mess everything up.
    1. Update all Mac OS updates from Mac App Store.
    2. Run Boot Camp on internal (original) drive, including make a USB stick drivers for Win (Can take forever on a slow USB stick, but will get there) Install Windows from DVD or similar (I did from a bought DVD, no OEM allowed)
    3. Test-run and configure and add all updates for Windows and installing an Antivirus app is also good to do.
    4. Install a new fresh Mac OS on an external USB or Thunderbolt drive (or use CarbonCopyCloner to get a copy of internal Mac OS)
    5. Check the new external Mac OS by rebooting to it. if Ok, reboot to internal again.
    6. Run WinClone 4 and make an image file from the Boot Camp to an image file to your desktop.
    7. Run Disk Utility and select your external drive, Choose the Partition tab, click the + below the main (only partition), select the space between the now two partitions and drag upp or down until lower parts size is at least a tad bigger than the original Boot Camp volume or bigger. Select the new partition and rename it and choose to format it to MS-DOS FAT. Execute.
    8. Run WinClone again and choose your new image-file, and target your new FAT-partition on the external drive.
    9. Reboot the Mac, and when screen goes black, press and hold the alt-button until the startup drives is shown, select the new Windows disk on your external drive. If all ok your computer will start on Windows on your external drive. When running Windows goto your USB-stick open the Boot Camp folder and run the setup.exe.
    When all seems to work ok reboot again and this time to your internal Mac OS.
    10. When in your internal Mac OS, run the Boot Camp app again and make sure only the Remove Win8xx is checked, run and the Boot Camp will be removed on your Mac drive.
    Check-run everything agan.
    Thats how I did it, might be easier way but at least I’m a happy camper now :-)
    So now I have the options to run Mac OS on my internal drive, run Mac OS on my external together with Parallels Desktop and Windows 8.1 in a virtual or just run Windows only on the external drive (best for gaming etc in windows)

  • New user account - cann´t open bootcamp partition through vmware fusion

    Hi all!
    I installed on my new Imac Bootcamp first, than VMware using the bootcamp partition under my admin account ( all working fine ).
    After a few days I opened a new standard user account for my wife.
    I hoped that VMware Fusion will work under these new user too. I opened the VMware and the bootcamp partition was displayed. I klicked the execute button for using these partition under VMware but the rotating sun icon rotated and rotated and rotated .... nearly 30 minutes later I stopped the VMware.
    When I try it now to open VMware a message is displayed - translated from German - or words to that effect :
    " Package "users/nameofwife/Library/ApplicationSupport/VMWareFusion/VirtualMachines/BootC amp/%2Fdev%2Fdisc0/BootCamp partition.vmwarevm" is corrupted and cann´t open "
    My question : Is it possible that my wife gets access to VMware too ?

  • How do I ensure bootcamp partition works after upgrading snow leopard to mountain lion

    I am very apprehensive about upgrading to Mountain Lion due to performance concerns and the debacle with the new Auto Save feature which seems like a very poor and confusing solution to a problem that didn't really exist. I am only considering the upgrade, so that I can get the latest version of Xcode - 4.3; for some reason, 4.2 for SL is no longer available and my current 4.0 version is no longer supported, so I feel forced to upgrade to ML. Also, I have a bootcamp partition that I need to be able to use without issues after having upgraded to ML. So the essence of my question is this: what steps do I need to take prior to upgrading to ML to ensure that my Bootcamp partition is left intact and bootable. I have already created a compressed backup disk image and stored on a separate external hard disk for precautionary reasons. Is there anything else I should know beore going ahead with the upgrade?
    Thanks.

    Auto Save is actually a very useful feature. If you are typing a paper in Pages and you haven't saved in a long time, and then your battery dies suddenly, your paper is saved. Before Auto Save, you would have lost all your progress.
    Your BootCamp partition will not even be touched during the install of Mountain Lion. As long as you make sure to select your Mac OS partition during setup, nothing will happen to your Windows side and everything will still work fine.

  • Trying to install Lion. says this disk is not enabled (journaled) - but when I look at the drive it actually is os extended journaled - Stuck! Have tried repair disk permissions and still no luck

    trying to install Lion. says this disk is not enabled (journaled) - but when I look at the drive it actually is os extended journaled - Stuck! Have tried repair disk permissions and still no luck - any thoughts? Have spent two weeks trying to get apple support and itunes to help me get lion after a hard drive fail and now they are closed and I really just want to get moving!

    Are you installing OS X Lion over an existing installation of Snow Leopard, or are you reinstalling?
    First be sure you have everything on your system backed up. Then reboot with the Command-R keys held to get to the OS X Lion recovery volume. In here, select Disk Utility and use the First Aid tab in here to run a verification on your boot drive. If there are any errors, fix them and then try the installation again.
    The next step would be to format the drive, so with your backup secured, use Disk Utility's Erase tab to re-format the drive to Mac OS X Extended (journaled), and then quit Disk Utilty and attempt the installation again.

  • I'm installing windows 7 64-bit on my imac which I've done before but I get a message that the partition is GPT even after I format the bootcamp partition.  I just upgraded my hard drive to a 3tb and I'm allocating 1tb for windows. How can I fix this?

    I'm installing windows 7 64-bit on my imac which I've done before but I get a message that the partition is GPT even after I format the bootcamp partition.  I just upgraded my hard drive to a 3tb and I'm allocating 1tb for windows. How can I fix this?

    No easy fix for a few reasons:
    1) Bootcamp requires a hybrid MBR for the partition table. That is: both an MBR and a GPT partition table at the same time with the GPT one having all partitions and the MBR one having only the ones that are relevant, but at most 4 of them (including the protective partition and the Macintosh HD one). Which leads us to:
    2) The MBR part of the hybrid partition table cannot work with 3TB hard drives. MBR is limited to 2TB.
    I am working on a small EFI app that can boot Windows in EFI mode on a Mac and that would mean that you can go GPT only on your system. The progress of the app is slow due to the nature of EFI and for now requires that you do an unattended Windows install with slipstreamed graphics drivers, but we are adding VGA loading on top of EFI quite soon after the rest of the app stabilises. The status of the app is documented at:
    Win7 x64 booting natively via EFI (no bios emulation)
    Windows does actually successfully boot in EFI mode on most Macs (anything with a 64bit EFI should work), but does not have graphics support even if you load the driver due to the VGA pci registers not being set by the firmware. Furthermore, in Setup and Safe Mode, Windows uses VGA instead of GOP which is a failure by design since VGA is a BIOS standard and not really compatible without hacks with EFI. Other EFI implementations also add VGA compatibility at a high cost to the firmware complexity for the VGA cards available on the market that don't actually contain anything in their ROM except the VGA BIOS.
    My recomendations:
    1) Install on a second smaller hard-drive; or
    2) Wait for the EFI app to come out officially and use that to boot Windows Vista SP1 x64 and Windows 7 x64 (RTM and SP1) in the native EFI mode.
    3) Wait for Windows 8 which supports VGA-less booting acording to the AMD presentation at UEFI Plugfest.

  • I used bootcamp assistant to partition my hard drive to install windows.  When I got to the part to install windows, I selected the bootcamp partition and then choose format as instructed but it would not continue stating that the partition was in GPT par

    Please help!!  I partitioned my macbook pro hard drive in bootcamp so that I could install windows.  Everything appeared fine until I got to the install part.  I selected the BOOTCAMP partition and then selected format as instucted.  That was it.  The install could not proceed because it says the partion is in the GPT format instead of NTSF.  At this point it erased the "BOOTCAMP" name from the partion but the partion still exists. 
    I tried to reform by going back on the OS side, in disk utitly, erase and format.  It will not allow me to select NSTF format.
    What do I do to fix this??
    Thanks for you comments.
    Kristina

    In Boot Camp Assistant when you select the format option the Boot Camp partition it automatically formats the Boot Camp partition as NTFS since this is what Windows requires. There is no option to select NTFS or any other format type.

  • B-tree error, cannot mount Lion partition, but can mount bootcamp partition. Unable to reformat because it won't mount. How do I reformat?

    Hi everyone:
    So earlier today I was taking a screen shot with (command+shift+4) and right when I took it, the spinning wheelcame up on the screen. It was there for a long time, so I decided to turn off my macbook by holding down thepower button. When I turned it on, it stayed at the grey apple logo with the loading circle underneath.
    I turned it off again, and this time I started it into the Recovery HD. I ran a disk verify and it said my disk was corrupt and needed to be repaired. I tried to repair it and it said it could not be repaired. Next, I tried to erase the hard drive and it still didn't work because it cannot mount the hard drive.
    The thing that baffles me is that I have 2 partitions on my hard drive, one for mac, the other for windows bootcamp and the windows hard drive is able to be mounted. I tried to completely delete the entire hard drive, but it won't let me. What are the next steps I should take into solving this problem? Any/All help is appreciated. Thanks

    Sounds like the drive may be faulty or have suffered a problem. Bummer mate, but it happens.
    Disk Utility won't let you do a complete erase? Probably not what you want to do anyway as you'd lose your bootcamp partition.
    I would recommend you replace the drive and re-install OS X. Once they get faulty like this you're into a greatly increased risk window. You'll need to have a bootable DVD / USB stick of Lion or a RecoveryHD USB created by the Lion Recovery Assistant.
    If the MBP is under warranty or you have Applecare you could get the drive replaced under warranty.
    To retrieve your files and Apps etc you can restore from a backup, or if you don't have one then you could get a sata enclosure for the old drive and attach it as an external drive then attempt to copy the content from it once you've re-installed. Time Machine backups will make this much easier for you though.
    For bootcamp, you're going to need a 3rd party program such as Winclone (www.twocanoes.com) to allow you to take an image of the bootcamp partition and restore it to the new bootcamp partition on the new drive.
    I can heartily recommend the Seagate Momentus XT 750GB hybrid drive (ST750LX003) if you're going for a replacement. You won't believe the difference in performance it provides.
    Good luck!
