Hard drive missing space after boot camp got stocked on "Creating Partition"

Hi guys, last night I was trying to install windows 7 in my computer for some gaming, the process with boot camp went well until it said "Creating Partition" there it got stocked for a good 2 hours, because of this I did a bit of research on what could happen if I would force quit it, I read that it might happen that if I restart the partition would be there or just nothing would have change but in my case none of those happened, my hard drive is keeping that space in blank without letting me use it, before trying boot camp I had 240 GB of free space and now after restart it I have 90 gb of free space, yes I tried to make the partition of 150 GB, so what should I do to repair this?, I verified the permissions on Disk Utility and I just got one weird message:
Warnin SUID file "Library/CoreS" has been modified and will not be repaired
But when I try to verify/repair I get this:
or this:

Reboot to your recovery partition and run disk utility from there, you can not repair the disk you are booted from.

  • Hard Drive Missing Space

    Okay-so I just noticed that my hard drive has just 33.85 GB of space available for use.
    The drive's capacity (after formatting etc) is 111.35GB
    So, finder is telling me that 77.51 GB of hard drive is IN USE-okay, fine & dandy.
    Problem is that using OmniDiscSweeper and Disc Inventory both show a max of 48GB IN USE which should leave 63GB available FOR USE, not 33. Both programs include/account for HIDDEN files.
    So where is this mysterious 30ish GB of hard drive being used?
    Trash has been emptied and even when I manually add up files in finder, I don't find the space either.
    Permissions have been verified, the disk itself has been check for errors-nothing.
    Sleepimage takes up just one gig so it's not there and it's not in the swapfile either.
    There are no extra partitions (which is clear anyway since it shows 111 capacity).
    I've searched for an answer all over the web but all I'm seeing is that people suggest looking at the hidden files (which are already accounted for by DiscSweeper) OR that it has to do with the byte conversion (1,000 vs 1,024) but that would only account for a percentage nowhere near 50%.
    That's quite a bit of hard drive to be missing. Suggestions? I'd like to have that 30ish gb back.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    I've used WhatSize to look at hidden files and total files. Maybe try it to see if it pulls anything different. You need to use a version before 4.0 as the vendor crippled the program in demo mode. This one is 3.9: http://www.free-mac-software.com/whatsize/

  • Lost disk space after Boot Camp partion crash

    I was partitioning my 160GB (I have about 70GB free space) with the Boot Camp assistant, when my computer kernel panicked. I had to restart, and when I logged in again I was missing about 10GB of space. I did an "Erase Free Space" w/ Disk Utility, but to no avail. Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Also note, that you can partition your HD with Disk-Utility running off the Install Disk to create a FAT partition for bootcamp. The next time you run Bootcamp it will allow you to use that partition to install WIndows.
    I went through 3 Kernel Panics, trying to create the FAT Partition with the boot camp asssistant, always having to fix the HD with the method above.

  • Help, losing hard drive free space after removing A3

    This one has me scratching my head.
    I've been through all the insanity of trying to get A3 up and running and have decided to give up until Apple gets their act together.
    So I restored my startup drive from a SuperDuper back-up (pre A3) that does have A2 on it. All my A2 libraries, vaults and original RAWS reside on separate drives. Normally this leaves me with 390 +/_ GB of free space on my startup drive. However over the past 2 days since restoring to my pre A3 state I've noticed background drive activity (Activity Monitor shows kernel_task/root making consistent writes to the drive) and my free space has been gradually declining to where it is now shown at 328 GB.
    I did a fresh install of OS10.6.2 and have run directory rebuilds, repaired permissions and Spotlight turned off.
    It's almost as if A3 were still trying to do it's drive eating thing (technical term).
    Can anyone enlighten me about what may be happening?
    Thanks!
    Bob

    This happened to me as well.
    TechTool actually crashed a hard drive big time by filling it to the brim with daily backup files.
    It is supposed to keep only the 5 most current and delete them oldest first.
    I disabled the backup function (TechTool Protection) which is found in the OS X System Prefs.

  • Mouse issues at Hard Drive selection screen in Boot Camp

    Hello,
    I have been searching for awhile and cannot find any information regarding this. I have a Razer Deathadder 3500 series mouse and when I go into the Boot Camp HD selection screen my mouse movements are inverted. Up is down and down is up. I am not sure why this is or how to fix it. Does anyone know?
    Thanks,
    Brad

    Hi all,
    in another thread a user had problems with a non-Razer mouse and the selection screen.
    Problem, of any, is that at the time of the selection screen, no additional mouse driver is loaded yet, but rather a seemingly 'unified' one.
    While maybe a SMC reset might be helpful, I suggested to simply use the cursor-keys for selection and then the Enter key.
    At least that works for me.
    Happy computing
    Stefan

  • After Boot Camp erases your Mac OS partition, how do you re-install the OS?

    Boot Camp not only erased my Mac pertition but created one big Windows partition. Now when I go to re-install the Mac OS it does not recognize any hard drive and will not install.
    According to another post, it will not allow you erase erase the HD and reformat. Does anyone have any solutions for this???

    Use the install disc. Once the MacOS installer loads up, go to the (I believe) utilities menu and launch disk utilities. You should be able to erase the disk and repartition it at that point. Make sure you to to the options tab and select GUID partition scheme.

    this morning my PB G4 would not get to the password screen after power on.  I have rebooted many times and very loud noises (like a HD spinning/rubbing) emits. Tried the Install disk and it cannot find the hard drive. Ran HW test and got a "Mass storage Error Code" message.
    Did my HD just crash and unrecoverable?  Time to replace my notebook?

    I believe your hard drive has failed. Hope you have a backup.

  • Hard drive is corrupt after i repair it

    My hard drive reads corrupt after I repair it.  I restart it, hit C, and open it with a startup disk, then repair and restart it.  After a while, when I verify my disk, it says that is corrupt, AGAIN!!
    Please help
    I'm running a mac pro dual core 2 2.66 intel xeon processor, with 16GB of memory  My operating system is  10.6,8

    So you should have already made a couple backups, always have a spare bootable system drive, and in some cases zero it all - takes couple hours, and not use it except as spare extra backup.
    Getting files off your drive now but don't use it,, install OS to a new drive (pull the old one in fact temporary) and you may want to use checksum on all file copies, and for any files not on backup sets try best you can and if you still need help, then turn to Data Rescue 3.
    I would not use a DVD to do repairs, even if it is 10.6.0 or 10.6.3. I would use a clean small system drive with 10.6.8 (takes less than 30GB, even down to 16GB if careful) "emergency boot drive" used only for system maintenance and repairs.
    And if you had Lion, you don't, but, I would use Recovery Mode AND have that also cloned to another drive, using Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC).

  • Installed a cloned a 500g solid state hard drive but unable to boot. Can only hear drive spinning quietly, no chime to launch OS. Total darkness. Can anyone help? thanks in advance!

    Installed a cloned 500g solid state hard drive but unable to boot in macbook pro. Can only hear drive spinning quietly, no chime to launch OS. Total darkness. Can anyone help? thanks in advance!

    Hi Retired Engineer,
    Yes, you're right. It is the Seagate Momentus XT and it does not spin. That was just a layman's term for computer illiterate like myself. After hours of inspection & a prayer, I discovered by pulling the 4 GB memory chips out I put in, replacing the 1.5 GB back in for the memory which I upgraded 3 years ago. Chime! It works! So it is the 4 GB memory causing the problem. But why? Does that mean my Macbook Pro does not support with more memory? The fan noise is now gone which I suspect it was caused the other overheating Seagate hard drive & eventually causing the crash. However, the top bar temp indicator shows 174˙F @ 000rpm. Does that also mean the fan on the left is not working? (the right fan on the board works). Do they work simutaneously? Or left fan is just a back up?
    Thanks for your reply & kind gesture.

  • Usb hard drive not loading after security update

    usb hard drive not loading after security update
    I can't seem to find any other posts about this problem.
    I have three external hard rives connect by a USB hub to my iMac.
    Problem is that if I turn on the hard drive(s) AFTER start up I get a message that the drive either was not recognized by the OS or that it was ejected unexpectedly. 
    I get the same issue but not all the time if I turn them on before I boot the iMac.
    I used the disk drive utility to "repair" the drives but they always come back as "probably ok". 
    If I restart the iMac with the drives connected (on), it seems to work but not all the time.
    A bit annoying as I am wondering if the drives are OK or not.
    I don't always need the drives as they are for backing up images from my camera using Apreture.
    This all began after i did the latest security update.
    is the update to blame?
    mahalo.

    Yes, you can still use those instructions to reset the PRAM.
    You said that you booted to your install disk and that your primary drive did not show up at the Select a Destination screen? That usually means that the computer is either not recognizing your partition, or it's not recognizing the hard drive itself.
    Start with this article and follow all the steps even if you already tried them. I suspect that you'll get to step 4 and you'll end up having to call Applecare. If you haven't done those steps, they're most likely going to make you do them anyway, so you might as well get them done before the call.

  • V570 dead hard drive and now cant boot past BIOS welcome screen

    Bought my Lenovo laptop in December, 2011.  My hard drive (750g Western Digital) died last week. I was able to save some of my files but recovery partition and everything else is gone. Hard drive is unreadable when I insert in another machine or using an external USB casing.
    I have a spare hard drive but now when I install that and try to boot, laptop does not go beyond the Phoenix BIOS screen. I tried the CMOS battery reset action (unplugging the CMOS battery etc) but no luck. Tried booting then pressing F keys but it just says please wait and stays there.
    Someone please help. I really liked this laptop and cant believe the hard drive conked out after only 6 months of use.

    not encouraging.  I'd certainly re-seat the RAM and even go as far as testing it with MemTest86, if you have more than one module test them individually for at lest 3 passes each - keep plenty of coffee or whatever at hand.
    Pulling the CMOS should at least provoke a date and time error at post hopefully enabling you to then enter BIOS, it will also automatically select BIOS defaults for you - not a bad thing.
    If all else fails I would put the original drive in the system and call service as OKR-MAN previously suggested, something is definitely not right.

    My win8 pc hard drive failed.  After the hard drive was replaced, I copied iTunes Media backupfiles from external hard drive (Karen's Replicator backup software was used).  ITunes does not recognize these back up files even though the location is the same as cloud & recently burned music that does show- help!  The backup files consist of 34,000+ songs; almost all burned from my own CD collection.  I do have most of the songs on an ipod classic but hesitate to try to restore from that.  Can someone tell me how to get these 34,000 songs to show up in iTunes?  Thanks!!

    This diagram shows how a typical iTunes library ought to be set out (click on it to enlarge)
    The red outline highlights the media folder and its contents, the various subfolders are only created if that kind of content is in your library. The right-hand side shows the files that should be found in the iTunes library folder; sentinel is normally hidden so may not be visible. The core of your iTunes library is the file iTunes Library.itl, you need to restore this, the other library files and the Album Artwork folder, as well as the media folder, to restore your library.

  • I just had a new hard drive installed. After loading everything back on my computer from external drive, i came to the "select wireless network screen. I've misplaced the WEP password for my internet. Is there anyway to find it on another computer?

    i just had a new hard drive installed. After loading everything back on my computer from external drive, i came to the "select wireless network screen. I've misplaced the WEP password for my internet. Is there anyway to find it on another computer?

    Maybe. What kind of other computer are you talking about? What operating system is it running? What kind of wireless router are you using?
    Your best bet may be to just reset the router and set it up again.
    Just so you know, WEP is a very old security system for wireless and is considered insecure. If you have it available, use WPA2.

    That is another classic symptom of a WD hard drive being jumpered as either a master or a slave when there is no other drive on the cable with it.  If the drive is the only drive on the cable, then remove the jumper from the drive.
