How to remove a bootcamp disk
I have tried to eject a disk that I know is in my drive and I've tried everything possible like the eject button, command E, restarting the computer and pressing the keypad. I have identified that what is in my computer is a BootCamp disk and when I restart my computer it appares on the desktop with the option to Eject and when I click eject nothing happens.
There is no specific "Remove Hard Disk" activity in 2.3.1 or the upcoming 2.3.4.
Have you tried the PowerCLI command "Remove-HardDisk"? If that works for you, in 2.3.1 you can use a Windows PowerShell activity to run PowerCLI and execute a simple script that runs this command against the VM. Unfortunately, this requires connecting to vCenter directly (not through the adapter) and you will need to supply credentials.
Or, better, use the "Execute PowerCLI Script" activity in the upcoming 2.3.4 VMware Adapter.. where you can run PowerCLI activities that use your existing VMware vCenter Server target's connection and don't need supply credentials separately.

How to remove a hard disk file on storage
Hello,
In my process, I would like to remove an additional disk.
To achieve that task, I have found "Remove VM device". It is a VMware box that I can use to remove any device (including Hard disks) and I have not found another box to do that.
But file on storage is not deleted, only the logical disk on the VM is removed.
So I was wondering if there could be another way to remove also the file on the storage?
Is a “dedicated” remove Hard disk vmware box exists in Tidal versions greater to 2.3.1?
thank you.
Best regards,

Time Machine - how to remove a dead disk from Preferences?
Time Machine Preference pane shows me 3 disks to back up to. One of these, Drive1 , has not been backed up to for months. It always shows as waiting to backup. That is because it is dead. It has been replaced by Drive3. Preference Pane shows Drive1, Drive2, Drive3.
How can I delete Drive1 from Preference Pane? It will always give me the Time Machine Error: "the backup drive is not available"
Can't see a way of doing this.
All suggestions appreciated.Eric, thank you. That looks exactly like what I want to do. But .. I can't see how to do this.
Here's a screen shot of Time Machine Preferences. I want to delete "Vault1" because I lost the disk 2 months ago. I can't.

How to remove a DVD disk image I can't see
Disk Utility shows a DVD that I used some time ago to copy some files. The only place it shows up is in Disk Utility. DU says it is waiting for a disk to be inserted but the disk was posted to a client. How can I get rid of it?
Tiff Sunbacon wrote:
Okay. Now this is embarrassing. The DVD I referred to is also in your screenshot: Matshita DVD-R UJ-85J! Which presumably means it's part of the OS and meant to be there? But what is it? In my defence I've never noticed it before. (Be gentle I feel silly enough already.)
Well, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words
Yep, that's your DVD drive.
So your problem just vanished.

HT201364 how to remove start up disk space
im using my macbook pro got in 2009 and need more memory to download updates
Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck! -

Hi I'm Macbook pro user, recent days i got updated my os program as os X lion, but after updating I lost my bootcamp disk and windows programs.
How to recover my bootcamp disk.... Help me please....No. You have found your lost NTFS partition. Here is a table I use to validate that it is reasonable.
GPT 3 Start
GPT 3 Size
GPT 3 End
NTFS Start
Byte Offset
NTFS Size
NTFS End
205722144
1269536
206991680
207065088
73408
105515001
312580089
So your 'numbers' look as follows...
Sudo gdisk /dev/rdisk0
P (print the full list of parts)
D (delete)
4 (part 4)
N (new part)
4 (part 4)
207065088
- Start offset in bytes (start point for Bootcamp part)
+105515001
(Size offset as opposed to End offset)
0700 (Windows part type)
P (print list of all parts just to see what changes will be made)
W (Write the new GPT)
Y (Yes! really write the new GPT)
This will delete and re-write the GPT partition info for /dev/disk0s4.
Rebuild MBR to match the new GPT information thus resetting the Hybrid MBR
Sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
P (Print list of parts)
R (Recover)
H (chooses Hybrid)
Partitions numbers to be hybridized: 2 3 4
Y (Good for GRUB question)
N (part 2 flag)
N (part 3 flag)
Y (part 4 flag make bootable partition)
W (Write the new MBR)
Y (Yes! write the new MBR)
Reboot
Test 1 - Does Bootcamp Volume show up in Finder?
Test 2 - Can you files in Bootcamp Volume?
Test 3 - Can you select Bootcamp in System Preferences -> Startup Disk?
Test 4 - If Test 3 is successful, select Bootcamp and Click Restart.
If you see a hanging underline cursor at the top left on a black screen, and it does not proceed further, you may need Windows Startup Repair or a tool called EasyBCD. -
How do I create a disk image for windows 7, using a windows computer for USB bootcamp for mac?
Hi There, I have just bought a new 2013 iMac.
Spec: 3.4 GHz intel core i5, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory , NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB Graphics with OS X 10.9.4.
How can I create a 'disk image' from a windows 7 professional 64bit installation DVD using a windows laptop with windows 7 Operating system on? I want to transfer this 'disk image' (ISO?) to a USB ready for installing windows onto my 2013 iMac using bootcamp? I want to use bootcamp from a USB as I have no disk drive for the installation DVD on my iMac. I hope all this is clear.
Thank you. JoeYes, that's correct, at least not directly. You can create a blank disk image, copy the file to the mounted disk image, then burn the image to a CD/DVD.
Open Disk Utility and select Blank Disk Image from the New menu. Provide a name, Save location, and select the image size from the drop down menu. Leave Encryptions at None and Format as read/write. Click on the Create button.
After the image file appears the "removable" disk should be automatically mounted. If not double-click on it to mount it. A "removable" disk icon will appear. Drag the file you want to place on the disk image to the "removable" disk icon. The eject the "removable" disk icon. Now select the disk image file in the DU left side list and click on the Burn icon in the DU toolbar. Be sure to have a blank disc ready.
The above is actually the "long" way to do this. A much easier way is to simply insert a blank CD or DVD into the optical drive. The Finder will pop up a dialog asking what to do. Select the option to mount on the Desktop. You will now see a disc icon on the Desktop. Drag the file you want to burn to the CD/DVD, right-click or CTRL-click on the disc icon and select Burn from the contextual menu.

Possible Virus On Bootcamp, how to remove?
Hi, I think I may have gotten a virus on my windows partition of my macbook pro. I windows XP professional with service pack 3 installed. Last weekend I was booted into windows when it suffered a "fatal error." The computer restarted and windows XP was fine. I did, however, get this email from my university network manager concerning my computer:
The computer in question appears to be infected with
a Trojan or worm that reports home to an IRC server.
Several examples include sdbot, spybot, gaobot, polybot,
and some variants of OptixPro. We notice these because
the computer is trying to connect to a known IRC bot
controller.
We often are unable to tell exactly which version of
which IRC bot an infected computer has, but the
detection method is rarely wrong. There are hundreds if
not thousands of known variants of each of the above
viruses, with new ones being released daily. Updated
AntiVirus software may or may not detect this threat.
Odds are good that the attacker obtained the
password database for this computer, containing all
of the passwords for all accounts on the computer.
It is IMPERATIVE that all passwords for all accounts
on this computer be changed before this computer
is placed back onto the network.
Computers infected with an IRC bot should have their
hard disk formatted and have the Operating System
reinstalled and patched before coming back onto the
network. All passwords on the rebuild system should
be different than they were on the infected system.
IRC bots not only often come bundled with
other malicious software, but once they connect to
the IRC controller, they often download and install
even more malicious software, without the knowledge
and/or consent of the computer user. Therefore,
even if AntiVirus software detects and removes the
IRC bot, typically more malicious software is left
behind, still running.
IRC bots are updated frequently. Even up-to-date
AntiVirus software often doesn't detect the latest
IRC bots. Once the AntiVirus companies start
detecting a particular IRC bot, the bot is typically
instructed to update itself to a variant that is
not detected by AntiVirus.
Because of the above activities, scanning for viruses
with an AntiVirus product is typically not an effective
remedy for an IRC bot infection.
I have symantec antivirus for mac, is there any way I can use it to scan the bootcamp partition? I think I know where the infected file is, but symantec says it's clean. I also have Symantec for Windows.
It would be a HUGE inconvenience to reinstall windows XP because my disc is at home and I will not be home for another 2 and a half months. Can you give me any tips on how to remove this virus without reinstalling windows XP?
Thanks,
SamIf you delete it you are only getting rid of half the problem, and likely will be unable to do this.
Start up in Safe mode.. (If you're having trouble doing this press start and search for MSCONFIG go to boot.ini and start in safe mode).
This will only run basic stuff for windows and should potentially stop the Winlog running.
However as I said winlog will probably re-appear because the trojan will likely just retrieve it back from the internet.
I say the best solution is...
Restart your mac into OS X, download Avast free edition and Spybot S&D or similar, and ZoneAlarm Firewall.
Put them on your bootcamp drive. restart into windows in safe mode. Install those and restart back into safe mode if needed.
Set avast to run a boot time scan (Scans before you load into Windows. Run SpyBot S&D. And set Zonealarm to have atleast some sort of protection running all the time. -
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 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.

One of my authorized devices was erased. I downloaded iTunes. Says my iPod is already synced to a library. It will allow me transfer purchased songs but not songs I had that were downloaded off of my CD's. Where do I access that library and how do i get it back on iTunes? I tried manually move songs in disk mode. Now I have a bunch of data on ipod and I don't know how to remove it. It basically copied all my itunes files from my C drive onto ipod in my efforts to move the library.
When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.
