HT3986 how do you enlarge boot camp partition after windows is installed

how do you enlarge boot camp partition after windows is installed

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can do it with third-party programs, but I don't recommend it because you can damage the hard drive. The best way to do it is to delete your Windows volume and create it again with the size you need

  • I'm getting "Installer disk not found" message during boot camp 5 and windows 8 install on late 2011 MBP upgraded to Mavericks.

    hello,
    And thank you in advance.
    I'm getting "Installer disk not found" message during boot camp 5 and windows 8 install on late 20011 MBP upgraded to OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Any ideas?
    I've downloaded the Window support option software and the WindowSetupBox.exe and copied it to the USB drive. I tried to create an iso image from my Windows XP machine but recieved messages that Windows 8.1 could not run on XP.  I've ordered the Windows 8.1 backup media.
    Any way to proceed?
    Thanks  Tim

    download the win 8 iso from here;
    http://getintopc.com/softwares/operating-systems/download-windows-8-pro/
    then start over. install on to your usb along with the support software.

  • How do I create a Boot Camp partition with Windows & blank NTFS partitions?

    I'm trying to create this kind of setup:
    OS X partition
    Windows 7 partition
    blank NTFS partition (no OS)
    blank NTFS partition (no OS)
    This would be much easier if I created just the OS X partition and the Windows 7 partition with the Boot Camp Assistant tool (done this many times before successfully on other computers). The problem begins when I try to split the Boot Camp partition through the Windows 7 DVD partition manager during setup by deleting the Boot Camp partition, and recreating three partitions from the unallocated space. After installing Windows 7 on one of those new three partitions, I'm getting all kinds of startup errors when I try to install the Boot Camp drivers.
    What would the best way to achieve this setup?

    Yes, I researched many options for three partition dual boot set ups. After many trials and tribulations, there is a simple method that I have used on multiple MBPs.
    1. Run Boot Camp Assistant, as per the Boot Camp Installation and Setup Guide. Once you have Mac OS X and Windows 7 set up, check the partitions and back them up (with Time Machine, and Winclone).
    2. Get iPartition, and resize the Mac and Windows partitions to what you want, say 100GB each, and set up your other partitions to the size you want. I put mine "after" the Windows partition, at the end of the disk, and have had no problems. It takes a few minutes to create the bootable CD for iPartition, but you get everything you need to do so from Coriolis Systems. You will need your Mac OS X installl disc.
    3. Install Paragon's HFS+ for Windows and NTFS for Mac, and everybody can read and write everything.
    4. I have both Time Machine and Norton 360 back up the Data partitions, just in case -- to an external drive, of course.
    You can boot to either OS and access any partition.

  • How do delete the boot camp partition

    I am using a mac book os is x.4 and only one hard disk is installed.
    Before, I used a boot camp program to partition my hard disk into two
    volume, one for Mac and the other for windows vista. But now, I want to
    delete my windows partition, I used Mac installation disc and disk utility
    to clear the partition, it is not allowed, do you have any other method to
    clear the boot camp partition. Thanks.

    You should be able to do this using the Boot Camp Assistant app. There is an option to "Restore the startup disk to a single volume". That should eliminate the Boot Camp partition without harming your Mac OS partition. Even so, make sure you back up your Mac OS X partition data before you do this, just to be safe.

  • Just loaded windows 7 on a macbook pro - how do you dual boot OS X and windows 7

    Hi successfully loaded windows 7 and partitioned drive (I need windows for work Microsoft crm system)
    All ok but a pain to have to keep logging off and on between OS X & Windows
    I understand that there is a way to dual boot - I am running Snow Leopard on a macbook pro lap top OS x 10.6.7
    Can anyone help please

    You can install Parallels or Fusion, either will work. When you setup either Parallels or fusion you can tell it to use your already installed Boot Camp installation of Windows as its target guest operating system.
    You would then just boot into OSx, start your VM (Parallels or Fusion), then you'll have access to both OSx and Windows without having to reboot.
    I have this setup and two monitors. I have my Windows running on my external monitor and OSx running on my Macbook Pro monitor at the same time.
    Beware that you will need to re-register Windows to get a second key. This is free and easily done either online or by calling the Microsoft registration number. The reason for needing a second key is that Windows, although only installed once in your Boot Camp partition sees the virtual hardware created by your virtual machine and thinks it has been reinstalled on a new computer.

  • Late 2013 MBP/Fusion/Boot Camp partition w/Windows XP (!), can I get Bluetooth working or should I give up?

    Hello and please bear with the length of this post.  I had an old MacBook Pro (2007 Santa Rosa) that ran Windows XP in a Boot Camp partition just fine.  One thing Windows has that the Mac doesn't is a free OBD2 app that lets me communicate with a Bluetooth OBD2 scanner to reset my check engine light and read the codes.  This scanner uses Bluetooth.
    A few months ago by a stroke of good luck I got a new Retina MacBook Pro.  Windows XP will not install on it, only Win 7 & 8 (I don't have the install disks anymore anyway).  I did not want to buy a new Windows just to run this one program (the only Windows app I really need).  I thought I could possibly run my old Win XP Boot Camp partition (now in an external USB3 case) under Fusion, and it turns out that I can indeed do this.  However I can not get Bluetooth to work – Win XP, under Fusion, does not see any Bluetooth hardware.  I got some help on the Fusion forum – I was told to uncheck the Share Bluetooth devices with the virtual machine box and check the Apple Bluetooth USB Host Controller box to connect Bluetooth to the virtual machine.  WIn XP, under Fusion, does not seem to see any Bluetooth hardware.
    My question is, do the Boot Camp drivers originally installed when I first used Win XP on my old Santa Rosa MBP have any role here?  I was thinking I might have to update those drivers since I'm on a new Retina MBP, but the update notes specifically say the newer drivers are for Windows 7 and 8.  I haven't tried to install them yet – maybe they'll even refuse to install, I don't know.
    If I'm truly wasting my time trying to get this to work I'll fork over the $40 for the Mac OBD2 software, although I really only need it for a "single use" (trying to pass a state inspection, lol!).  TIA for any help!

    Please ignore the last message - I was hoping I could delete the thread but it looks like I can't.
    After a little more investigation I've decided to give up this quest and pay the $40 for the Mac software.

  • Removing Boot Camp Partition after now using Parallels

    Is it possible to completely remove the boot camp partition (under Snow Leopard) without having to reformat the HD and reinstall everything? I don't need it now that I am using Parallels with an XP virtual machine installed on my OSX partition.

    I ran the assistant and did the restore. Now when my computer turns on I have to hold the option key to get to the mac log in. There isn't the windows boot up option any more. However it wont just boot up to Mac. Any ideas?
    Once in OS X go to System Preferences - Startup Volume and set OSX to be the default.
    On the next reboot ist should automatically boot into OSX.

  • Cannot get Boot Camp drivers (for Windows XP) installed

    I've partitioned my Time Machine HD for the 32GB/FAT format of Windows XP/Home Edition w/SP2. The installation of Windows proceeded OK. However, after installing Windows, ejecting the W-Install disc, and inserting my MAC OS X Leopard disc, the "setup.exe" file does not open. If I start up in Windows, I cannot open the Opt. Disc drawer since the BC drivers are not installed; if I insert the OS X disc in the drawer, then restart in Windows, the "setup.exe." file does not open.
    Where do I go from here to install the Boot Camp drivers for Windows? These drivers are needed for 'normal' Windows operation, and are required in order to install the Boot Camp update. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi David,
    while you are in Windows and have the Leopard DVD inserted, can you access the content of it using the Windows Explorer ?
    or maybe this hint on MacOSXHints can help you access the Windows Content of your Leopard DVD while in OSX http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080708145453136
    If so, you can try to copy the Windows Content onto a USB Memory Stick and use it to install the drivers.
    Good Luck

  • My sound no longer works on Mac OS after installing a Boot Camp partition for Windows 7 x64.

    I installed Windows 7 x64-Bit Professional Edition on my iMac Mid-2011 on Yosemite 10.10.2 through Boot Camp. I installed Windows 7 without any hitches and I proceeded to install an old PC game and I was able to run it just fine, I could here the audio perfectly. But, the next day, when I started my iMac on the Mac OS partition, the sound bar icon on the top right was greyed out. This problem began occurring after I restarted to the (original) Mac OS partition I've tried to check it out on System Preferences and Audio MIDI Setup. On Sys Prefs, it says, "No output devices found" and "No input devices found". On Audio MIDI Setup, it says,"No Devices Found on the System."When I go back to the Windows partition, I can hear audio just fine and I can even set the volume from my keyboard. I have already updated the necessary drivers on the Windows side. I've reset the PRAM and repaired the disk permissions with Disk Utility. Headphones don't work either but I can send audio through a bluetooth speaker that I have.

    Hi 0day,
    unfortunately you have to have the MacOS DVD to install the Boot Camp 3 (legally).
    The 3.1 and 3.2 are upgrades to that (as you found out).

  • How to remove boot camp partion after windows has been deleted

    I have removed windows 7 from my mac book air. however the partition will not be deleted... how can I remove the partition.

    Hi,
    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. After the reboot use the BootCamp Assistant again to make the Windows partition and then install the (hopefully correct) version of Windows.
    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.
    Regards
    Stefan
