Cannot find Bootcamp partition on restart

Hi everyone,
I have successfully partitioned and installed windows operating systems on the Mac platform before. But recently on my 13" MacBook Pro, when I partition the drive using bootcamp, this all goes well and asks to start installation. But when the windows files have been read from the disk and it asks to use a partition the "Bootcamp" labled partition is not there.
Thanks

Ok, so far so good. So we're going to create a new hybrid MBR with different parameters than your present one.
In gdisk terminal type
r  then press enter - to take you to the recovery menu
type h then enter
you'll receive a warning that hybrid MBR's are flaky and dangerous. That's ok.
It then asks you to type from one to three partition numbers, you should type
2 3 4  -  That's 2 space 3 space 4  -  press enter
it will then ask if you want to include the EFI partition as first partition - answer Y
you will then get each partition number displayed one at a time.
for partitions 2 and 3 just accept default settings (by pressing the enter key) but answer N to making them bootable.
When partition 4 is displayed accept default selections but make sure that partition hex code for type is set to 07 (but it probably will be).
When asked whether partition 4 should be marked bootable answer Y - press enter
Once finished and back to the normal prompt type w and press enter, to write the changes to disk.
Confirm the changes when asked (with a Y and enter).
Once done type q and enter to quit gdisk.
Close terminal and reboot holding Alt key. If Windows option appears try to boot it.
Please post any errors shown or if you're not sure about something, ask :-)

  • 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.

  • Cannot delete bootcamp partition/free space on HD (OS X Mavericks)

    I am having trouble removing a bootcamp partition made a while ago. I thought removing this partition would be as simple as using disk utility to delete the partition, and extend the Macintosh HD partition back to its original size.
    However, after clicking the minus sign using disk utility I am now left with 51.24GB free space where the bootcamp partition used to be and cannot seem to do anything to bring the hard drive back to one single partition.
    I have tried using boot camp assistant, which is useless. I have to tick either "Install Windows 7" or "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple", and when I click to install windows 7 (which below says it can be used to remove an existing windows partition), it only lets me re-size the Windows partition to a smaller 20GB size. It does not give me the option to remove the partition like it says it does on the first page and like I have seen on examples online (which I am sure are from previous OS X versions).
    I have tried going to disk utility when booting from the recovery disk, however this does not give me the option to erase the entire disk then start again from a time machine backup; it only gives me the option to erase my current 268.48GB Macintosh HD partition, which wouldn't be any use.
    I have verified the disk and all seems ok. I am running OS X 10.9.1 on a mid 2010 Macbook Pro. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB Memory.
    Any help appreciated as I am running low on HD space on my mac and the extra 50 GB that I can't seem to free up would be very useful.

    Give this a try:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This will install the default version of OS X that came with your computer if it came with Lion or later. If it came with Snow Leopard, then you must do this instead:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. 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 the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Can't get lvm/luks to boot - cannot find root partition

    Hi,
    I'm trying to get a dm-crypt on top of lvm to boot but without success so far. I followed http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sys … r_dm-crypt and http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … AID_or_LVM, everything works fine (I can mount the partition) but when I try to boot from it, it cannot find the crypted partition and fails.
    USELVM="yes"
    HOOKS="base udev usb usbinput lvm2 encrypt filesystems"

    /dev/mapper/root is my current encrypted / without lvm
    The boot process successfully identifies the lvm /dev/mapper/root2-lvol0 and continues with hook 'encrypt' but doesn't ask me for a passphrase but goes on to hook 'filesystems' and fails then because it can't mount the correct root-partition obviously.
    There's only /dev/mapper/root2-lvol0 and /dev/mapper/control when I'm in the rescue sh from initrd.
    Anyone got that combination to work?
    - Jan

    Reboot, at the sound of the chime (not before) depress the option key, when the startup manager appears choose OSX.

  • Initramfs cannot find root partition in initramfs

    Hi,
    I recently changed the Mainboard in my PC and ran into some GRUB issues afterwards. After reinstalling it, it at least is able to boot the kernel.
    But when i select my installation I`m dropped in to the recovery shell with the message "Unable to find root device". In the recovery shell i cannot find it either, in /dev the whole SSD isnt listed. This confuses me, since the kernel is on a partition of that disk and obiously loaded already and i can access the device from a liveiso without any problems.
    My partitions are setup as follows:
    sda: (the missing device)
    1: /boot/efi
    2: /boot
    3: /
    4: swap
    sdb:
    1: /home
    Could the error be produced by the fact that sda is an SSD?

    That worked! I generated new initramfss using mkinitcpio (was that necessary) and now the normal boot works, either.

  • Cannot remove bootcamp partition

    Unable to remove Bootcamp partition using Bootcamp Assistant, which reports 'unable to partition drive' Drive is SSD

    Using the  BootCamp Assistant is recommended because usually the correct way to remove your Windows partition is to use the BootCamp Assistant again which should give you the option to remove the made Windows partition and revert back to one OSX volume.
    After that's done a reboot of your Mac might be advisable.
    Only if that's not working (whatever the reason) :
    1) boot your Mac from your OSX install DVD
    2) choose your language and then 'ignore' (cancel) the installation
    3) from the Top Menu (Utilities) start Disk Utility (DU)
    4) in DU click on your harddisk (not any partition) in the left pane (the first item listed)
    5) in the right pane use the 'Partition'-Tab
    6) click to highlight on the ex-Windows partition you want to delete
    7) click on the small '-' Button at the bottom
    That should delete your former Windows partition
    After that's done successfully
    8) Drag the partition separator line until it encompasses the entire drive and then select apply.
    9) Quit Disk Utility
    10) reboot your Mac from your harddisk.
    Since you are 'fumbling' with your OSX partition you should consider having/making a backup of it before trying the a.m. procedure. Just in case.

  • I cannot remove bootcamp partition on Snow Leopard

    Hi everybody.
    I have an iMac 20" early 2009 running Snow Leopard. A few months ago I've used the Boot Camp partition to install OS X Lion, just to test it before upgrade the OS. Everything's gone fine, but now I want to remove the Boot Camp partition and seems to be impossible. I've tried all the things I've read from every forum. The first, and simpler one, is to use the Boot Camp Assistance again.... but when I reach the "donwnload-software-or-have-a-CD-or-DVD" window, and select any option, another window appears that says something like: cannot partition the start up disk or restore it in just one partition. The start up disk must be format in one volume Mac OS Plus (journaled).... And that's exactly how my start up disk is. It's formated with Mac OS Plus (journaled) and the partition I want to remove was created via Boot Camp...
    Does anyone knows what should I do?
    Thanks so much.
    Gonzalo

  • Cannot add bootcamp partition to my new HD in MacBook Pro (4,1)!!

    Hi Folks,
    I used to be able to add a partition to my boot drive from either BootCamp or Disk Utility but since I've installed my new HD, Bootcamp Asst informs me that my software is not up-to-date and Disk Utility has the options greyed out!!
    Anyone have any ideas how i can sort this out..?
    ps. the new HD = Seagate Momentus 7200.4 Laptop 2.5 inch Hard Disk Drive 320GB SATA
    7200rpm 16MB (Internal) (ST9320423AS)

    Well, after some head scratching i thought about where my problem started and it turns out that i had to re-restore from my SuperDuper clone (which i'd done in the first place)! There must have been a problem the first time i restored!
    I booted from an external HD, reformatted and restored from my clone. All is now good.
    Thanks for the firmware advice. Seems I might also need to do this too.

  • Windows cannot find my boot camp partition in set up.

    I have been trying to install windows 7 via boot camp on my new imac. Every time I get to the install screen it asks where do I want to install windows.  I choose the boot camp partition and format it as it says.  The computer than tells me that set up cannot find a partition to install on.  In the boot camp installation guide it says that the partition will be partition 3 but mine says partition 4.  Does this have anything to do with why I am not able to install. Please help. 

    You will need to uninstall the software using the HP scrubber.
    To do so, perform the following steps:
    1. Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ and then click on “HP Uninstaller”
    2. Next click “Continue”
    3. Highlight the device on the left pane.
    4. Press and hold Control+Alt+Cmd on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on “Uninstall”.
    5. After you do this, you will see a pop up that asks you if you want to uninstall all HP software. Please note, that in doing this, it will remove any other HP printers that you also have installed.
    6. Click “continue” and wait for the program to finish.
    7. After it completes, reboot your computer.
    Once the computer is back on, do the following steps:
    1. Go into “System Preferences” and then select “Print & Fax”
    2. Right click (or control+click) in the rectangle listing your printers and then select “Reset Printing System”. This is going to delete all of your printers.
    After you have reset the printing system, go to the following link and download the most recent version of software for your operating system.
    HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.8
     Once it is downloaded, install the software and everything should work now! If it doesn’t, just let me know and I will see what else I can do to try and help resolve this issue for you.
    If I have been helpful or if you’d like to say thanks you can click the white star under my name to give me Kudos.  I really appreciate it!
    Best of luck,

  • Can't mount bootcamp partition in 10.9.5

    Hi, I'm only able to boot into my bootcamp partition by restarting the computer and holding down alt/option. When I'm in OSX, I'm only able to see the partition in Disk Utility, and it's greyed out there. I just installed Windows 8, updated to windows 8.1, and then installed a mavericks update. I guess somewhere along the line the bootcamp partition got disconnected from mavericks?
    I did some googling and I think I need to do something in gdisk to fix it, but I'm not sure how that works. Here's my output from

    And you can read from OS X and do some backups.
    If you modified your partitions, that is one reason it isn't working.
    Using Cloning as a Backup Strategy
    That works for OS X. There are other programs and methods for Windows.
    Someone posted the commands to run from Windows DVD to fix / edit BCD.
    That was just a couple days ago, should be easy to find.

    My iPod 5th gen will not completely turn on it shows the apple symbol then shuts off I have restarted it and tried to plug it into my computer but cannot find it to restart it
    Its been like this for awhile and I can not fix it

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT203322 Still having issues with installing Yosemite after deleting "Backups.backupdb" on the internal hard drive.  I have restarted multiple times and cannot find any other back up files, yet I still receive the same error message during installation.

    I am using a 2011 iMac on 10.6.8. I recently downloaded the Yosemite upgrade and during the installation process ran into the "this disk is used for time machine backups". I ejected the external drive I use for time machine backups and turned off time machine in the application. I then followed the instructions of the help article (OS X: Cannot install on a volume used by Time Machine for backups - Apple Support) by moving the folder "Backups.backupdb" that I was able to find on my internal hard drive to the trash. I have restarted several times after completing this process. I am still running into the same error during the installation process. I have searched the hard drive for any other backups and I cannot find any. I searched the hard drive using the command cmd-shift-g and searched for “backups.backupdb” and was unable to find any folders or files. Any other suggestions?

    I have resolved the problem - I did not actually delete the "backups.backupdb" folder, I only deleted the contents of the folder.  I must have only searched on the user account for the folder after I thought I had deleted it.  Thank you for the assistance everyone and I apologize for the inconvenience!
