How do i remove a bootcamp partition without bootcamp assistant?

I incorrectly removed the bootcamp partition via disk utility rather than on the bootcamp assistant. Now my mac boots into the deleted partition. To avoid i press the option key during start up and select my Macintosh HD. How do i now remove this partition? There is no option in bootcamp as bootcamp thinks its partition is deleted.

Try going into the system preferences and then go to "Startup Disk" and choose the main hard drive to boot up into. This way, instead of booting into the deleted partition you can tell the computer to boot into your main hard drive.

  • How can I remove the BootCamp partition? as the size i created ws too small to install MS Office on 64Bit Windows 8.1 on MacBook Pro (Aug'13)

    How can I remove the BootCamp partition drive for Windows 8.1, as the size which I created was too small for me to install Microsoft Office onto Windows 8.1 64-BIt. The machine which I have is the MacBook Pro 13' inch purchased in August 2013.

    Either use Paragon's CampTuneX to resize it or use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition and restore the drive to one partition. Then create a new, larger Boot Camp partition. This will remove/delete/erase your Windows system.

  • How do I remove a Windows partition after Firmware message?

    Want to remove the windows partition on my 2006 MacBook running Leopard. I tried Bootcamp Assistant but it says I need to update my Firmware. I downloaded the update suggested and then had a message saying the firmware didn't need updating. Tried Bootcamp again and had the same update message. How do I get rid of the disk partition? Any suggestions appreciated.

    Related problem. I upgraded my Tiger partition to 10.6.8. Boot Camp was eliminated in the process. When I choose Boot Camp assistant from finder it checks and reports that the 'software is not available' (core 2 duo 3,1).
    I understand that DU is not to be used but I can't figure out how to eliminate the old Win XP if I can't get bootcamp installed.
    Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

  • How do I remove Yosemite installation partition

    I have a 2009 iMac with the primary OS disk being an SSD and the secondary disk as my Home drive.  I downloaded Yosemite via the App Store but never installed it.  Instead,  I created a bootable installation USB stick in order to perform a fresh installation on this iMac.  After successful "clean" installation to the primary SSD, I noticed there is an approximate 100GB partition on my secondary Home HD called, "Install OS X Yosemite".  How do I remove this partition without affecting all the contents on my HD?
    Thank you in advance.

    Please open Disk Utility, select the primary drive entry (out-dented) then click on the Partition tab in the main window. Take a screenshot and post here.
    To post screen shot do this:
    Press COMMAND-SHIFT-4 which will change the cursor to crosshairs.
    Hold down the mouse button and use the crosshairs to select the part of the screen you wish to capture.
    Release the button and the image will be saved to your Desktop.

  • How do I remove the Windows partition? Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the remove option.

    I am using an iMac, 8.1, early 2008. I installed Windows XP at that time. I am now using OS 10.8.5 and want to remove the Windows partition to free up disk space. Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the "install or remove" option. How can I get rid of the Windows partition?

    You can try removing it in Disk Utility.
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
    2. Click on the Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. Select the bottom rectangle/partition. Click on the Delete [-] button below the sizing window to remove it. Click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    4. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for the remaining partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and drag it all the way down to the bottom. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. 
    You should now have a restored single volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

  • Can I remove the XP partition without wiping out OS X?

    I've decided to remove XP from my iMac. But I need to know if I can do this and 1)Not wipe out my OS X and 2)Will it restore it so that my Mac can use it?

    This is from the Boot Camp PDF:
    Removing the Windows Partition
    If you no longer want to use Windows on your computer, you can use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the Windows partition from your startup disk. This returns the disk to its original configuration as a single-partition Mac OS X volume.
    Warning: Make a backup of the important information on your Windows volume before removing the Windows partition. Windows XP software and all other information on the Windows partition will be erased from your startup disk.
    To remove the Windows partition from your startup disk:
    1. Start up in Mac OS X.
    2. Quit all open applications and log out any other users on your computer.
    3. Open Boot Camp Assistant.
    4. Select “Restore the startup disk to a single volume” and click Continue.

  • Can I hide or remove the bootcamp assistant launch icon?

    I clicked the bootcamp assistant icon and it opened a window that will not close.  How do I get rid of it?

    I don't know if this is still an issue for you if so, then hopefully this will help. Place your mouse over the icon, press down and a menu should pop up that has the offer to "quit" select it and it is gone from your launchpad!

  • How Do I Remove Existing BootCamp Drivers in Windows 7?

    I've just replaced my 2009 Mac Mini Server with the 2012 equivalent. I've successfully utilised WinClone to clone my BootCamp partition from one Mini to the other. My copy of Windows 7 Professional 64bit opens as expected, and I've successfully re-entered my Windows Product Key.
    My only unresolved problem is in re-installing the BootCamp drivers. I have already downloaded the latest BootCamp drivers to my pen/thumb drive, and inserted it in my Mac Mini once Windows has started. On starting the BootCamp package, and attempting to install the drivers, I am alerted to 'a network problem' - which prevents me from installing the latest drivers.
    I suspect the problem resides in an existing BootCamp Manager v4.0.0.0 being present on my Windows install (from my previous Mac Mini).
    On locating the existing BootCamp Manager, Windows will not permit me to delete/remove the program and its associated files.
    I would therefore appreciate some assistance on either issue: installing new drivers, and/or, removing the existing BootCamp drivers.

    The problem has resolved itself...
    ...despite spending several pointless hours trying to delete the existing BootCamp drivers without success, I finally restarted Windows yet again - and this time I was easily able to delete the existing drivers.
    I then restarted my Mac, installed the latest drivers without issue and it all works just fine.
    Windows, eh?!
