Can't see my partition...

I deleted the Windows partition today so I could create a larger partition.
So, basically I opened up Bootcamp assistant, set it to partition at 24GB. It' got half way done, and then told me to restart my computer.
Now, I went from having 32GB free to 9GB free. But I can't see the partition, and bootcamp won't let me delete it.
What should I do?

I figured out the answer. unfortunately, the Belkin router I have does not support a HDD formatted in Mac OS. I guess I have to decide whether to stay with FAT32 for my netweork drive or get a new router...

  • Clean install of Lion. Now I can;t see the partition on a USB external where I did a Time Machine backup. Help?

    Howdy.
    Ok, wanted to update my daughter's MacBookPro (late 2009 - 2.26ghz - 8GB RAM) I took a new external and partitioned into two GUID partitions. Installed Lion on one, and did a full (and verified) backup on the other. Booted off the external, erased the laptop drive and installed Lion. Works perfectly.
    But when I try and access the Time Machine backup, I can't even see the partition. The icon is on the Desktop, the partition is in Finder. When I first instaled it even asked if I wanted to use that partition for Time Machine. But I can't do anything but a full restore, which I obviously do not want.
    I tried going into Time Machine itself and when asked if I wanted to "Use Previous Disk" to do TM backups, I said yes. But I could not get the Mac to "inherit" the old backup.
    Migration Assistant doesn't see the partition either.
    Help?

    First I formatted 2 partitions GUID on the external and installed Lion into one of them., and backed up the Macbook (via Time Machine) into the other. I then booted off the external Lion partition, erased the Macbook, installed a fresh Lion.
    I then restarted using the new internal Macbook drive. Works perfectly. But now, when I try to use Migration Assistant I cant see the second partition, the one with the Time Machine backup.
    I know I can do it manually but actually the computer is with my daughter at college in Arizona and I'm in Connecticut, so I'd rather get to the screen that allows you to restore users and settings only.
    Thanks!

  • Boot Camp partition added to VMWare Fusion...can't see original partition

    I originally installed Windows XP Pro using Boot Camp. The partition was available using the OPTION-startup to select that partition.
    Then I installed VMWare Fusion and had it "use" that Boot Camp partition so I could access it while running Leopard. Now when I use the OPTION-startup I don't see the original Boot Camp partition.
    I check the information on my internal hard drive and it shows a total of 290Gb available when the hard drive is actually 320Gb (30Gb for the Boot Camp partition).
    I'm wondering my options:
    A. Can I use a Windows XP disc to install another Boot Camp partition or will it deny me because there is one still detectable?
    B. Can I restore the ability to see the apparent Boot Camp partition on the hard drive from the OPTION-startup screen?
    C. Is the simplest solution to reinstall Leopard and then reinstall the Boot Camp partition?
    Thanks for any help.

    UPDATE: So I tried to reinstall Windows XP using the Boot Camp Assistant but after choosing to create a new 32 Gig partition, the Utility failed, said it could not be created and suggested I try running repairs on the disc using the Disk Utility.
    After running the repair disk feature in the Disk Utility here's the results:
    Verifying volume “XXXXXXXX”
    Performing live verification.
    Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow file.

    The volume "XXXXXXXX" needs to be repaired.

    If anyone would like to expand on this that would be great.
    Thanks again.

  • How can I see the partition of my iPod Touch on Windows Explorer 8.1?

    I would like to to copy a video from my iPod but I cannot find the partition on Windows Explorer.
    Why not using iTunes? With this announcement I am not comfortable at all. It is frightening and not clear to me what will be happening. Can anybody explain without using the word "sync"? Thank you!

    The message you are getting is saying that the iPod was previous synced to another computer. You can only sync with one computer. If you sync to another computer then the iPod media from the iPod get erased (as the message says) and is replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
    Syncing means copying (syncing) media from your iTunes library to your computer)
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod       
    For not showing in iTunes:
    - Try entering the screen lock passcode on your iPod if not done already
    - Go to Windows Device Manager and see if there is any problems/unknown devices
    - Can you not import photos from a digital camera? The iPod appears in My Computer like a camera does.

  • Can't see Windows Partition on shared computer

    I have a home network with a Macbook and MBP
    The MBP is partitioned into 2 logical drives...one with OSX (obviously) and the other with a bootcamp partition. Additionally I have an external drive partioned into 2 drives. One is formatted for Mac the other formatted in FAT32 (so windows os can read/write to it when necessary).
    The problem is that when I am sharing the MBP I cannot connect (from the Macbook) to the windows partitions on either the MBP or the external drive. I can see everything else on the MBP (including printers, home folders, public folders, etc.)
    So, the question is, what do I need to do to set up the MBP to make the windows partition visible and accessible??
    Both machine have 10.5.5 and all updates installed
    Thanks

    OK, after going to _http://www.macwindows.com/leopard_ and hunting around a bit I found the solution.
    It turns out that in the File Sharing Options window I had both "Share files using AFP" and "Share files using SMB" selected. That allowed me to see OS X shares but not Windows shares. I turned off AFP shares and voila! I can see all connected drives and folders.
    Not obvious for a newbie like me. So for those of you having the same problem try the above and see if it works

  • [Solved] Can't see GPT disk partitions in Windows 7 (64-bit)

    I just added 2 new disks and had them set up equally with GPT and equal partitions, to use the partitions as RAID1 in Arch, and the rest of the storage for Windows. It works as expected in Linux (I guess), but Windows shows them as uninitialized.
    Can this be due to the fact that I created the GPT and partitions using fdisk? Caus' gdisk can't see any partitions either when I start it. If so, is there any way to convert it or do I need to redo everything?
    The output of "fdisk -l" shows this:
    Disk /dev/sdc: 1.8 TiB
    Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

    Hi LamboMong,
    just try this:
    http://refit.sourceforge.net
    install, reboot twice and choose the Windows-Partition on next startup.
    (The apple-bootloader doesn't display all bootable harddisks.
    With rEFIt you can boot from all partitions/harddisks on your computer.)
    I hope that will solve your problem.

  • Can't see Windows 7 Boot Camp partition from Mac

    I've had a Win7 boot partition on my 2011 MBP for a while and it boots just fine. I have a Mac boot partition, a Mac data partition, and a NTFS Win 7 partition. But the Boot Camp partition is greyed out and invisible when booted in to the Mac.
    When in Windows, I can see and use the Mac partition from Win7 with MacDrive. The problem is that I cannot see the Windows partition from the Mac. I have Paragon NTFS for Mac installed as well as MacFuse. I tried to see the partition with CampTune and got this error:

    Does anyone know if I can repair this without having to re-format? I have a 13" White MacBook as well and this setup works just fine. I did it such a long time ago that I forgot how I did the first one.
    There is another thread on here that similar but not quite like my problem because I ca actually boo into Windows.
    If anyone can help it would certainly be appreciated!

  • Boot Camp with Win 8 Can't See The USB External Drive [MBR with NTFS, Fat32, HFS Partitions]

    Hi. When I boot to Boot Camp with the latest Apple Windows Support drivers can't see my USB Flash Drive, DVD and OS X volumes but not my USB external drive that has an MBR partition scheme (using iPartition from GUID) and in there it has different volumes [HFS when I boot to Snow Leopard, Fat32, NTFS]. What can I do with Boot Camp to make it see my USB external drive and why isn't it seeing the USB when it can see the USB flash drive both use USB?
    Thank you in advance.
    God bless.

    Buy Paragon NTFS for OS X $20.

  • Grub2 can't see partition on a MBR drive but can on GPT drives

    I have three hdds, the first two are formatted with GPT and the third MBR so as to boot windows when needed.  I have grub2 installed on /dev/sda and I can boot my Arch partitions just fine.  I can't however boot the windows partition (/dev/sdc1).  I can't even see the partition on it via grub2's console.  First, under Linux:
    # fdisk -l /dev/sdc
    Disk /dev/sdc: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors
    Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

    Note that there are no entries for (hd2,1) and (hd2,2) for some reason.  Is this because my first two drives are GPT formatted and grub isn't loading a module for MBR... or?

    Your problem is that the MBR module of grub2 is not loaded.
    Try
    menuentry "Windows 7" {
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ntfs
        set root=(hd2,1)
        chainloader +1
    Manually in the grub2 prompt try
    grub> insmod part_msdos
    grub> ls
    (hd0) (hd0,6) (hd0,5) (hd0,4) (hd0,3) (hd0,2) (hd0,1) (hd1) (hd1,2) (hd1,1) (hd2) (hd2,2) (hd2,1) # your output should be like this
    grub-install when setting up grub2 in the mbr (meaning the 1st 440 bytes boot code region alone) region detected GPT partition map in your system and copied that module alone to the core.img, not MBR (msdos) module. Hope this helps.

  • Can't see partition option or button on Disk Utility

    I just bought a 500G backup hard drive for 2 computers. I want to partition it into separate portions for each computer and possibly a third smaller portion for my portable drive.
    My problem is that using Disk Utility v10.5.6 running on OS 10.4.9 I cannot anywhere see a button or pulldown menu item that will allow me to create partitions as directed in the Disk Utility help files. I've searched for information in apple.com and can only find articles identical to what I see in my help file. Am I missing something obvious? I know about partitioning, but have never actually done it before.
    btw- my external backup drive is "My Book" with Retrospect 6.1 software. However I haven't started up the software to do a backup yet because I wanted to partition the disk first. Any ideas, help, advice?!?!?
    This is my first use of this forum. Must I visit the webpage often, or will the replies post to my email address as well as this webpage? Thanks! dsimmonsusc

    Hi dsimmonsusc
    Welcome to the forums!
    For your first question, does the hard drive appear at all in the left hand pane of Disk Utility? Make sure you select the top level of the hard drive, and not any existing partitions inside it. For example, on my Powerbook, I see the following:
    55.9 GB HTS72606M9 ...
    Macintosh HD
    I have to select the "55.9GB..." level to see the Partition tab, which will appear between "Erase" and "RAID" in the right-hand pane. It sounds like "My Book" will be the equiivalent of "Macintosh HD", so you need to select the level above that.
    About forum replies, you can set the preference yourself - go to My Settings in the sidebar to the right, scroll to the bottom, and you should see the default settings - "Always subscribe to topics I create" and "Send subsccription emails immediately". Change these if you like, but as they are, you'll get a new email whenever someone responds (like this one)! But you will have to click the link in the email and go to the site to view the reply.

  • Can't access nor see Macintosh partition and files in Windows

    Hello,
    Basically I just rebooted the whole laptop and installed OS X and windows 7 (using Boot Camp Assistant).
    I don't know why, I can't see the Macintosh partition when I open My Computer. It's like it doesn't even exist! I've been searching a solution for this for hours and they're all recommending installing software like Macdrive (which I tried and is asking me to FORMAT my mac partition, calling it Disk E).
    Last time I had installed windows I didn't use ANY software whatsoever, I could simply go to my computer, select Macintosh HD, and see/copy my files (read only) with no problem!
    I even went into System Preferences and clicked the box of sharing files with Windows...
    Help please!
    Thank you!

    Thanks
