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:
I also tried going to the BootCamp Assistant and saw this:
Yet when booted in Windows, I see the Mac partition just fine.

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!
Thanks,
Randy

  • Can i "copy" a 200 GB boot camp partition from Mac Pro to MBP?

    i spent a lot of time working with virtual machines and i have decided i simply have to increase the size of my mac pro HD and put a boot camp partition in it.
    can i COPY a 200 GB windows 7 boot camp partition from my 1 TB Mac Pro drive to a 200 GB partition on my MBP that will have a 500 GB drive?
    this would let me focus on doing a full install and full setup on the Mac Pro and just copy this over to the MBP (when i get the new drive) saving me a ton o time.
    TIA
    Also, is this something for WinClone?

    hi kappy. THANK YOU.
    is it possible that you or anyone has actually done this machine to machine and partition to partition?
    i want to avoid a situation where i try to do this only to find it works better or is much simplyer to the the fresh install on the MacBook Pro just fresh.

  • Stop Windows (Boot Camp) partition from Mounting

    Ok all, I am at my wits end here. I installed XP in boot camp and now I've got a lovely "Untitled" partition sitting on my OS X desktop. I know this can be hidden, but I don't want to hide it. I don't want OS X to mount it at all. I have tried fstab and fstab.hd but it looks like all support for these has been removed in a recent update. So HOW do I do stop automount on a local volume? As far as I can tell it is impossible to control how your computer mounts local volumes, but I am hoping I'm wrong, because that would be utterly ridiculous on Apple's part.

    A workaround might be to create an automator workflow that ejects/unmounts the unused partition. Set the script to run when you log in, and it will unmount the drive. I do that for a partitioned FireWire drive that I use for backups. I want my TM backup partition to stay, but have other partitions be unmounted, so the script grabs them and ejects them.

    I think the other person can't see his Mac, you appear to not be able to see your Windows PCs. Did you set up sharing on the Windows PCs? How is your LAN set up? Describe your connections and equipment.

  • How do I restore data to a new mac with windows boot camp partition?

    Hi
    I have a new iMac and an old MBP, I'd like to copy all of the data of my old MBP to the iMac.Would doing that affect the windows boot camp partition?
    and how do I do it? 
    right now im backing everything up on my MBP using super duper
    both the MBP and the iMac are running on Lion

    I am assuming the Boot Camp partition is on the old MBP and that the SuperDuper clone is on an external drive and is bootable. The Super Duper clone does not include the Boot Camp Partition.
    To get the Mac Data moved you can use Migration Assistant and if you want to transfer the Boot Camp partition you would need Winclone to move/copy it to a newly created Boot Camp partition on the iMac. The SD Clone ( and a Winclone backup) is your insurance policy if some kind of difficulty arises.

  • Could I reinstall OS X partition keeping the windows boot camp partition?

    II have a OS x partition that need reinstall. In the same hd I have a Windows Boot camp partition. The question is, could I reinstall OS X partition without affect the Windows partition?
    Thanks,
    Jorge.

    Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
    Of course you should backup both.
    Q: why do you think OS X needs to be reinstalled or something?
    Disk directory trouble?
    Because 3rd party disk utility can do better, as well as maybe clone Mac volume so you can boot and do more repairs.
    Or maybe the partition table is shot. Or bad sectors. And bad sectors can require a full format.
    In a perfect world, but disk drives and systems aren't

    Please don't double post. Look at your other thread.
    If you want to get rid of Windows and the BC partition use the Boot Camp assistant program to remove the Win/BC partition. Don't do it manually with Disk Utility Use the BC A program.

  • Scanning windows boot camp partition for viruses from mac system

    is there any way that i can scan my boot camp partition (windows hard drive)from my mac operating system since i think this will remove more viruses and leave less chance for them to reappear.
    thanks

    I would first buy or find the best malware/spyware AV software and firewall.
    An ounce of prevention costs less than the pound of cure.
    Backup Windows image with WinClone or something.
    ClamXav or Intego AV 5 are two ideas mentioned earlier.
    If you use the web and email you need to install some programs, free or commercial.

  • Can you create a boot Camp partition on a Fusion Disk?

    Can I install a BootCamp partition on a fusion disc?
    Can I install a BootCamp partition (Wndows 7) on a 1 TB on which OSX mac Yosemite or Mavericks has been installed first? I have a 2012 MacBook Pro, that already has a 400 GB Boot Camp partition, but I am considering replacing it with a fusion disc or an SSD since I shall have to install a windows compatible medical dictation application that could use a speedier disc. Will Mac OS and Windows interfere with each other on the SSDpart of a large fusion disc ( 1 TB) if I switch back and forth from rebooting on Mac OS , then on Windows and vice-versa? Does the SSD part of the fusion disc get confused, and will the fusion disc tolerate the installation pf a Boot Camp partition in the first place, or just give a stretch of plain 5400 RPM disc without the SSD part ?Can I

    1. On single-disk Macs, you can use an SSHD (as a single physical disk), but not an SSD/HDD. There is a no single physical unit which is a Fusion drive. A Fusion drive consists of a physical SSD and a physical HDD. MBPs on which the Optibay has an SSD/HDD and main bay with SSD/HDD will support a Fusion (aka CoreStorage volume). Yosemite supports a Fusion drive, which has an internal SSD and and external HDD (the reverse makes no sense, but is possible).
    2. On newer Macs, with 1TB PCIe flash, you have an SSD as your whole drive.
    3. The two environments, OS X and Windows are self-contained,  on separate partitions. The underlying hardware is common.
    4. On a Mini, which supports two drives, I have a 256g SSD/1TB HDD, in a DIY Fusion drive, with Windows on the SSD part. Bootcamp Assistant does not support this, but third-party tools can be used. The other option is to install OS X and Windows on a SSD, and later add an HDD and include into a CS volume. This is what I would recommend for you.
    5. The 13-in 2012 MBP will allow you use a USB installer, without the need for an Optical drive, so it is possible to replace the Optibay with an HDD, create a Fusion drive. If BCA is used, it will put Windows on the HDD on this specific machine if the Fusion drive is created first.

  • Ever transfer a Boot camp partition from one Mac to another?

    My iMac has a working Windows 7 running on Boot Camp partition. I want to move it -- system and all, every last bit -- to my MacBook Pro. I installed Win 7 on the MacBook Pro and Windows said it would not authorize the system cause I installed it too many times. I'll have to move my copy of Mac Office 2010 also.
    1) Is this possible?
    2) Will it accept the copied files as an authorized copy of Windows 7?
    Any suggestions, other than buying a new license?

    You can use an imaging program like Ghost or Truimage.  Windows will prompt for reactivation if it detects "too many changed devices."  A different CPU and network card or motherboard chipset will usually be enough.  Basically different motherboard means reactivation so more than likely both Windows and MSOffice will need reactivation since your MBP is a different motherboard than the iMac.
    However, back to the activation thing.  I'm assuming you're just trying the automated internet activation.  If you've not been abusive and this is a legitimate reinstall, (i.e.: this is just the 2nd time reinstalling in the past year or two,) then just call Microsoft using the phone number you see when the reactivation fails.  If they ask, tell them you bought a new computer or had to replace a hard drive.  They will then give you the reactivation key to type in.  I've done this with reinstalling various versions of Windows and MSOffice and calling Microsoft has always worked, of course taking a little longer to deal with the person on the phone versus clicking the mouse.  Again, this assumes this is a legitimate "move" and you've not been reactivating every couple of weeks, which would look suspicious.  I've never called in a "suspicious" instance so I don't know how Microsoft will deal with that.  But otherwise it's relatively painless.

  • Removing/hiding  Boot Camp partition from VMWare Fusion?

  • How can I get my Boot Camp partition off my old drive?

    I swapped out the stock 160gb drive that came in my MacBook Pro since it was acting up. I installed a new drive and restored it with Time Machine, but now my Boot Camp partition is still on my old drive. I slipped my old drive into a usb sata enclosure and tried booting from it in hope I could back it up with Winclone. When I went into the startup disk selector the drive would not show up (but it sounded like it was trying to spin up). Earlier when I pulled the drive out of my MacBook Pro it was still functioning fine, so I do not think the drive has failed.
    Any ideas on how I can get the Boot Camp partition off the old drive? Thanks for your help.
    -Ryan

    Some drives require more current to spin-up from a "cold start" than most USB ports put out, even if the port supplies. Additionally, if the drive is failing, it may require even more power for the startup.
    I have a couple USB enclosures with external AC power that I keep around in case I run into drives like this. Failing that, I also have a couple of USB cables which use 2 ports to provide additional current. Also the cable length, and gauge makes a difference.

  • Parallels can now run your boot camp partition!

    Having seen this question many times in this forum, I thought I'd let people know that the new beta of parallels can boot from your existing boot camp partition. It also has a few other features with some major cool factor. Check it out here.
    MacBook Pro - 2.0 GHz - 2GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    unforunately it won't work if your bootcamp partition is fat32, however they said it will be fixed in the next release!
