Can't boot windows after creating new MS-DOS (FAT) partition

I created a new MS-DOS (FAT) partition on Yosemite, and now I am unable to access my windows bootcamp partition.
- I can attempt to boot into windows from Yosemite however after a long while, I am prompted with "no bootable device".
- The option to boot windows from the startup manager is no longer visible.

It still shows the bootcamp partition with windows.
EDIT: Creating the new FAT partition did seem to create another partition which is visible when looking at the partition layout; the other partition is 1.04gb; format "Free Space". Apparently that's from bootcamp - hadn't noticed before.
I took some screens to show what I mean ("WINDOWS EXT" is the new partition I created):

Repairing Boot Camp after creating new partition

I'm running OS X 10.8 and Windows 7 x64 Pro.
After properly setting up Boot Camp to dual-boot Windows on my Mac mini, I decided to test whether or not it was true that creating another partition (a data partition for OS X) would interfere with Boot Camp. Wikipedia claims it does interfere but without citing a source, whilst the Boot Camp documentation itself only specifies that the disk must be a single partition _prior_ to setup - there's no mention of whether the disk must be _kept_ that way afterwards.
I opened Disk Utility, reduced the size of my OS X parition from 420GB to 80GB, and created a new partition in the unallocated space. Here's how it looks now:
When I attempted to proceed with the process, I did receive a warning that doing this (and I quote), "may" cause problems with Boot Camp. Seeing as it was inconclusive, I thought I'd give it a shot - nothing ventured…
Of course, it borked Boot Camp, otherwise I wouldn't be posting here. Whilst OS X boots just fine, the Boot Camp partition now no longer shows up in the Startup Manager, though it does in the Startup Disk prefPane. If I do attempt to boot into Boot Camp, I receive the following message on a black screen:
No bootable device --- insert boot disk and press any key
The advice given to someone who had this same problem was, "fix your damaged Boot Camp volume." But I'm at a loss as to how to do that.
So, anyone know how to proceed now so that I can keep my partitions as is, whilst fully restoring normal Boot Camp functionality?

Hi,

Lost Windows 7 boot option after creating new partition

First of all im new to Mac os.
i have installed windows 7 using boot camp and after it i tried to create a new partition from the main mac partition and it was created successfullly however now the windows 7 boot option is not available for some reason.
how can i have this option back?

You broke it by adding the extra partition, remove Boot Camp (read the directions as to how) and start again. Do not add partitions next time.
Do not use Disk Utility to remove the Boot Camp Partition, use it to remove any extra partitions.
Backup your machine now.

New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7

New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7 workstation.
Windows 2008r2 hosts the hyper-v server. I can create VMs and VHD's when connecting to the server locally with the hyper-v manager.
The issue arises when I try to connect to the hyper-v server from my workstation which runs windows 7.
I have installed The Windows6.1-KB958830-x64-RefreshPkg.msu that was suggested for windows 7 sp1.
I can connect to the hyper-v server, create vm's but I cannot create vhd's the gui just hangs with no errors in event log or on screen.
The files are there on the hyper-v hard drive but i suspect they are just created by windows as they are written and are not valid.

I've had just the same solution. Both did Hang Fixed size and flexible.
Two parts were taken:
1 - KB939820 for Windows 2003 server based domain controllers
2 - disable using IPv6 on your NIC
Result - both types of VHD's are created normaly.
-----Infrastructure----
Windows 2003 Domain upgtraded to 2008R2
Windows Server 2008R2 Hyper-V - virtualisation clustered
Windows 7 Pro - Hyper-V management

HT4818 I have installed bootcamp that worked properly. Then I have partitioned the OS X 10.8.2 and installed another OS X 10.8.2 and I have got two MAC boot options and Bootcamp disappeared from the Option menu. How can I boot Windows again and keep both

I have installed bootcamp by the bootcamp assistant and worked properly.
Then I have partitioned the OS X 10.8.2 and installed another Mountain Lion System and I have got two MAC boot options and Bootcamp disappeared from the Option menu. However, Bootcamp still remained in the Startup Disk in the System Preferences. When I tried to boot Bootcamp using the Startup Disk it did not boot and received a message that there is no bootable device. I have not lost any data and can read Bootcamp partition from both OS X systems. Please advise how can I boot Windows / Bootcamp again? Thank you.

Recommendation 1: Use a VM for this. It's essentially a giant C.F. to do this with native booting, and is potentially fragile.
But if you're going to ignore that and do this anyway, realizing that it can break anytime in particular with OS upgrades, and that it's very difficult to impossible to resize the three volumes once you've installed the systems:
1. create three partitions, setting each to be the size for OS X copy 1, copy 2, and Windows respectively. The Windows partition needs to be set to MS-DOS format (actually FAT32) which later in the Windows installer you'll reformat as NTFS. Do not use Boot Camp Assistant to resize/partition the disk, it simply won't work for this use case.
2. install OS X copy 1
3. install OS X copy 3
4. Use gdisk (available at sourceforge) which is a command line only application, to create a new hybrid MBR adding only the last partition (Windows) to the hybrid MBR and setting it to be bootable. As a concequence you will not be able to see/share either OS X volume from within Windows. The Windows NTFS volume will be visible from within OS X.
5. Install Windows to the only partition its installer should see (confirm size), you'll need to format it NTFS first, and I suggest using the fast format option if available.

Can you put windows on a new macbook pro

can you put windows on a new macbook pro ? yes or no, which notebook can i put windows on if not the macbook pro?

WIndows 7 is the only Windows OS supported by the new Macs.
You usually use Boot Camp Assistant to partition the drive and install the Windows product on the Mac.
This creates a system where you boot into Mac OSX OR Windows.
see more at http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
There are programs such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion that can create a Virtual Machine within Mac OSX - giving you access to both Operating Systems at once. You may get slight performance issues as you would be essentially running two Operating Systems at once.

[SOLVED]Can't boot Arch after installation-grub use wrong uuid in bios

Hello I would like to ask for Your help and say hello. I'm new here.
I have one big problem with Arch. Can't boot it after base installation. The same problem with Arch, that was mentioned in this topic:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1294597
I have the same problem and the same error:
No such Device: ad4103fa-d940-47ca-8506-301d8071d467.
Loading Linux core repo kernel ...
error: no such partition.
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error: you need to load the kernel first.
Press any key to continue..._
I'm new here, and with Arch, could you explain me how to fix it? I tried the solution given in the link above, several times but with each time i have errors and warnings from the post 1 in mentioned topic. I installed my Arch from usb thumb drive. Maybe this is something to do with it? Also, my hard drive that Arch is installed on is being connected to a "raid card" named Adaptec, but during installation my disk is being found so i think that drivers is present and works ok, so it is not related to this, also there is no raid present, i use it only as a mean to connect to motherboard because there is not enough sata port, and because:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35626
he wrote that this error is also on virtualbox, so it is not my fault and Adaptec related issue.
I haven't tried this yet:
Sotanaht,
I had the exact same problem as you, but I was able to fix it by replacing the bad grub.cfg file with the grub.conf file found in the same directory. If you try this do not forget to back up your original file (just in-case smile)
because i don't know much about it, don't want to destroy data on my hard disks or to destroy my other distros (i use Ubuntu with derrativates such as Mint, Kubntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, and Slackware 13.37 and 14.00).
If you could explain it in details i would be really happy.
I could post something about my setup, please write what. My computer is:
-AMD X4 PII 955 runinng at 3.2GHz
-4GB DDR2 runinng at base clock (800 if i remember correctly)
-about 7 hard drive disk connected to a sata ports, one adaptec drive that i mentioned above and one dvd-rom
-nvidia GTX260
-850W PSU Chieftec

It is wrong, the root partition is different than in this, we can see that this grub leads to wrong root partition, i posted my root partition at the bottom from /etc/fstab. I don't know how to fix it - i'm not familiar with the dos names (hd 0,5 and so on).
Here is my /etc/fstab:

i can't boot windows in my iMac late 2011 as my internal cd reader does not work

Which copy or version of Windows? and how where was it purchased?
my window installed itself perfectly on another computer.
One copy and you want to activate on two computers?
With 16GB, it will try to create 16GB hibernation file, 24GB page file, and need 20-30GB for the OS, plus room for temp, cache, applications, 9GB just temp to install SP1 update(s).
did you create 80GB or larger partition?
also, some macs with ssd + hard drive have issues, and of course you need Windows 7 64-bit home premium (Pro to use more).
OWC has up to 32GB, not cheap.

Bootmgr problem - can't boot windows

Hi.
Please help me with my boot problem. I cannot access my computer, windows will not boot.
I am running windows 7.
Upon starting up my laptop, I get the message "bootmgr is compressed - press ctrl alt del to restart"
I have searched for the problem around the internet, and it seems to be due to people compressing their hard drive to save space and cancelling half way through.
I have not done this- I was playing around with a SLIC Loader program and installed it by mistake, now I can't boot windows.
I have tried using my windows 7 DVD to repair the startup but it didn't work.
I have also tried to restore but I did not set any restore points.
I have tried using some command prompt bootmgr reset procedures which also did not work.
Can I somehow get a backup of bootmgr and restore it?
Please help
Thanks

Hi
I assume your boot manager is damage. Probably by installing the SLIC Loader program
My idea was simply; boot from Win 7 disk and then try to get into the command console.
There you could use the command FIXMBR
But if this will not help then you should take your Windows disk or Toshiba recovery disk and should reinstall the whole system again.

You can if you do not live in Florida, apparently. I called this morning to add AppleCare+ and after giving my info (explaining that the Apple Store is 50 miles (at least) from me, I was going strong until she realized that I live in Florida. Apparently, some moron in the FL State Legislature got a bill passed to "protect" senior citizens and you can't buy things like AppleCare+ online or over the phone!! You have to do it in person. Seriously?!? I'm a senior citizen and I knew exactly what I was trying to buy.........she even had to read the description even though I told her I knew all about AppleCare+. As my husband said, "If you're smart enough to go online and pre-order, and set up an iPad, surely you are capable of making a warranty purchase!!!!!!
I even tried calling the Verizon store here, since I bought a VZ version, and even they can't sell it!! Going to Orlando from the beach during Spring Break and Snowbird Season will take up most of a day.......all to spend $99. I may just skip it and keep my fingers crossed that I never need it in a year from now.

Thank For ReplayDepends on a lot of things:
1- D and C are physically separated disks OR there are part of the same physical disk but logically separated ?
2- Where are located your system datafiles, controlfile, logfile, indexes?
3- Are you using ASM?
It depends a lot of your storage and database design.
I suggest you test and compare the performance using AWR reports and view Oracle statistics via the Windows Performance Monitor (perfmon)..
