Is it possible to resize a OSX partition without affecting a Bootcamp partition?

I have a new SSD drive but its only 120GB. I want to clone the entire drivevbut I cannot do this since my original SSD was 128GB. My OSX partition is 60GB and my Bootcamp partition takes up the rest. I know you cannot resize the Bootcamp partition but could I resize the OSX partition down to 50GB without affecting Bootcamp from booting up? Resizing the OSX partition, I should be able to clone my old drive to the new drive.

It doesn't matter how big a physical drive is. With a Mac partition, it also doesn't matter what the size of the source and target partitions are. The only thing that matters is if the amount of live data you're cloning will fit on the target drive.
Your current partition is 60GB. I would imagine it's not filled to the last byte of space. So as an example, let's say there's 40GB of data on it.
The target drive only needs to be a bit larger than that. Though preferably with a fair amount of free space so if you boot to it, the OS isn't running on a drive with virtually no operating room. So the target partition should be about 50GB.
Unlike Windows, Mac partitions do not dynamically change size to match the source.

Will upgrading from OSX Snow Lepoard to OSX Yosemite remove my Windows Bootcamp Partition?

Hello guys, so i have a question.
I am currently running OSX Snow Leopard, and i want to upgrade to OSX Yosemite, but i'm scared that upgrading to Yosemite will erase my Bootcamp partition.
so, Will upgrading to Yosemite kill the partition? or will it save it, so that after Yosemite is installed, i can still dual boot into Windows 7?
Thanks

Also backup your OS X volume.
Windows has built-in backup software. You could also try WinClone X.

Increase Mac partition after shrink Windows bootcamp partition

I have a Mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Mac OS X 10.9.4 with a 500GB HD.
The HD is partitioned with 370 GB to Mac and 128 GB to Windows and I decided to shrink the Windows partition to 65 GB because I needed more space on Mac, and I barely use Windows.
I resized the Windows Partition using Mini Tool Partition Wizard and moved it to the end of the disk, leaving the empty right after Mac partition.
I'm able to boot Windows partition and use it normally. The Windows C: disk now has 65 GB.
When I boot on Mac OS X and try to use disk utility to increase the Mac partition, it says that the Windows partition still has 128 GB.
It is possible to use the empty space I created?
Here's some information about my partitions:

Problem with partition after deleting a bootcamp partition

Hi everyone !
First, excuse my english, I'm from France.
This morning, I've deleted the bootcamp partition I had created weeks ago. But when I've tried to extend the principal partition on the empty space left by bootcamp, the Disk Utilitaire says : "Partition failed : impossible to modify the partition map because the verification of the files system failed."
I tried to extend the partition with the hided partition that we use when we can't boot on the main partition (I don't know how to say its name in english).
If someone have a solution, it would be cool !

Back everything up (preferably twice, 3 times for the really paranoid). I would use Carbon Copy Cloner and/or SuperDuper to make bootable clones to external disks.
Test the clone(s) by booting from them.
Repartition the boot disk the way you want it.
Restore your cloned system from the external disk.

Will OS X Mountain Lion affect my Bootcamp Partition?

I am relatively new to Mac computers, just purchasing a Mac Mini in October 2011.
I am in the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease and I hate change! - but because I have an iPad2 and an iPhone4 , I am wanting to install and upgrade my OS X Lion to Mountain Lion, especially for syncing with iCloud and devices.
What I am concerned about is my Bootcamp partition. I have a legitimate version of Windows 7 Professional installed on my Bootcamp partition, and what I would like to ask is whether the upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion will affect this, with the new operating system, and therefore new Bootcamp Assistant install too... Will it change my Bootcamp installation, does anyone know? Will I still be able to access my Bootcamp Windows partition?
I look forward to your replies - and please be gentle with me - I am a newbie, who has started rather late in life, a little too late perhaps, to try Apple computers, but wanted to know what they were like, before I go into 'oblivion' with my illness!
Thanks all in advance.
All the best
Daryl

Thank you for the quick response mende
I shall now go ahead and upgrade to Mountain Lion... I do love Lion though - I have found it very easy to use and work with, but because OS X Mountain Lion looks and feels more like iOS I think I shall be able to get on with it even better.
Since I brought the Magic TrackPad, using the Mac computer has become a doddle, because I do struggle with a mouse because of other disabilities - one day a Mac computer touchscreen may be on the horizon? - here's hoping.
Thank you anyway.
All the best
Daryl

B-tree error, cannot mount Lion partition, but can mount bootcamp partition. Unable to reformat because it won't mount. How do I reformat?

Hi everyone:
So earlier today I was taking a screen shot with (command+shift+4) and right when I took it, the spinning wheelcame up on the screen. It was there for a long time, so I decided to turn off my macbook by holding down thepower button. When I turned it on, it stayed at the grey apple logo with the loading circle underneath.
I turned it off again, and this time I started it into the Recovery HD. I ran a disk verify and it said my disk was corrupt and needed to be repaired. I tried to repair it and it said it could not be repaired. Next, I tried to erase the hard drive and it still didn't work because it cannot mount the hard drive.
The thing that baffles me is that I have 2 partitions on my hard drive, one for mac, the other for windows bootcamp and the windows hard drive is able to be mounted. I tried to completely delete the entire hard drive, but it won't let me. What are the next steps I should take into solving this problem? Any/All help is appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like the drive may be faulty or have suffered a problem. Bummer mate, but it happens.
Disk Utility won't let you do a complete erase? Probably not what you want to do anyway as you'd lose your bootcamp partition.
I would recommend you replace the drive and re-install OS X. Once they get faulty like this you're into a greatly increased risk window. You'll need to have a bootable DVD / USB stick of Lion or a RecoveryHD USB created by the Lion Recovery Assistant.
If the MBP is under warranty or you have Applecare you could get the drive replaced under warranty.
To retrieve your files and Apps etc you can restore from a backup, or if you don't have one then you could get a sata enclosure for the old drive and attach it as an external drive then attempt to copy the content from it once you've re-installed. Time Machine backups will make this much easier for you though.
For bootcamp, you're going to need a 3rd party program such as Winclone (www.twocanoes.com) to allow you to take an image of the bootcamp partition and restore it to the new bootcamp partition on the new drive.
I can heartily recommend the Seagate Momentus XT 750GB hybrid drive (ST750LX003) if you're going for a replacement. You won't believe the difference in performance it provides.
Good luck!

How can I reformat my Mac OS partition without deleting my bootcamp Windows?

Hi all, I recently feel that my mac OSX - Snow leopard I pressume, version 10.6.8 is running a tad slower than it previous does. Hence I'm thinking about reformatting it. However, as I have booted Windows in a separate partition, I've no clue on how to do a clean reformat without removing windows. I believe it should be pretty simple but I'm clueless about such IT tech matters so I appreciate any help and advice that comes along!

You don't need to do anything special but should make a backup first.

Resizing pixel art video without affecting the pixels with blur.

Hello everyone,
First I would like to mention that I did searched for an answer to my issue on the forum but only found a thread by Rowby Goren from Jan 4, 2010, who asked a similar pixel resize question regarding to still images in CS4. He was answered to use Photoshop for this kind of task. My issue on the other hand is for handling a video that can only be edited in Premiere. I'm using CS6. My issue is as follows:
I work a lot with pixel art animation in 320x240 resolution. Usually I'm making a 320x240 scene of background and characters and the final result should be a doubled sized. So each pixel is actually 2 times larger. Just like old adventure games from the good old days that most of us remember. It works great with old style games creation engines however when I want to make a video with my pixel art creation in Premiere, I couldn't achieve an exact and clean doubled pixel when resizing the source by 200%. It always gets blurry. Does anyone knows if Premiere has any switch off option for scalling blur?
I have created an image that describes the issue. It's just a simple pixel art image that I picked up on google search. I saved and uploaded it as PNG for best quality, I just hope it won't get compressed after the upload. Any assitance will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Gal Shemesh

Thanks Jim, I am aware of the fact that it's a degraded image that doesn't have any antializing effect on it. And that's what I'm trying to achieve in Premiere, although it's currently impossible. Until now I'm doing exactly what you suggested, which is to double the size in Photoshop or other tool that doesn't affect any antializing on the image and then I import it into Premiere. However this also makes a problem when you want to move objects on the screen as the imported images which are doubled size, won't show well on the 1:1 pixel grid when you move them around the screen. So let's say each move on the X axis to the left or right (which represents a move by 1 pixel) should be moved twice in order to meet the doubled sized images pixel grid.
Take a look on the picture I created to see what I mean. I've duplicated the box image and I'm trying to position each box one next to another in a 3d space look. The left boxes is the original image of the 2 boxes, and the right image is the doubled sized image that was created outside of Premiere. Please note that I've the entire screenshot twice larger so you could see the difference. And please ignore the fact that there is no antializing on the right image as I made this simulation in Photoshop so the pixels will be clean to show the problem.
So, if you aware of how a pixel grid looks like, check the left image. The position of the boxes on each other is the way it should be as each pixel from each box keeps the relation of a 1:1 pixel grid. However on the right image I first doubled the original box image to prevent 'blurring' effect when scalling up in Premiere, put it on a 1:1 pixel canvas (where the image has 2:2 pixel grid by now) just like how it will be in Premiere, and tried to position the boxes one next to another. See that there's a confusion between the pixels on the 1:1 grid as they got merged one INTO another without saving the relation of a doubled pixel grid. Where if there was any option to work in doubled sized pixles in Premiere, it would have look like this:
So importing a doubled size images into Premiere like you suggested is way hard to keep tracking the moving objects in the scene, as you must remember to move them twice the times to each direction. Which means that if you want to move an object from one side of the screen to the other side, you'll have to do it frame by frame in a move of 2 pixels by frame, rather then positioning it in one place, make a keyframe, and then go to where the movement should end and place another keyframe.
Hope now my issue is clear.
All the best,

How to resize my bootcamp partition without deleting itit

How can i resize my bootcamp partition to make it larger without deleting it or having to reload windows?

Yesterday expanded my bootcamp partition from 50 up to 100 Gb using Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition, a Freeware Windows Program after seeing this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeKeawqxUa0
Note that I have OSX Mavericks, Steps are:
1) backup all your files (optional but strongly reccomended).
2) Using OSX Disk Utility resize MacintoshHD partition leaving unallocated space as much as you need to add to bootcamp partition.
3) Set Bootcamp as Boot Disk and restart the mac.
4) in Bootcamp with Windows running launch Mini Tool Partition and select the bootcamp partition.
5) Choose "expand" option in order to expand the partition using all the unallocated space.
6) The program prompt to you to restart the mac for apply the task, cause is not possible while the partition is mounted and windows running.
7) Restart the mac and then automatically Mini Tool Partition will do the job in a "graphic msdos like" form.
I was lucky and worked for me, I have a Late 2009 Mac Mini with MAVERICKS and a samsung 250Gb SSD Evo.
Hope this can help the community but decline any responsibility, do it at your own risk, you can use programs like winclone or camptune if you feel more comfortable with a pay app.

Parallels unmounted BOOTCAMP partition, I cant remount, cant use BC or Para

This is a crosspost from the parallels support forums. Nobody has responded there and I have tried a few more things and all have failed, desperation is rising.
I hope someone here has some kind of idea what might be going on because I have some very valuable data on my boot camp partition and I did not expect a trial of Parallels to destroy it...
I tried installing the Parallels trial version of Desktop 6. For some reason it would not ID my boot camp partition and said that I had to mount it using the disk utility. I thought this was strange but didn't think much more of it. I continued to use my computer for other purposes for about an hour and decided I wanted to head back to my BOOTCAMP side, so I restarted into Windows and recieved "Disk read error, press ctrl +alt +del" from the DOS prompt. Restarted a few times and continued to get the same error.
I returned to OSX and discovered that my BOOTCAMP partition no longer appears on my desktop, or as an option for Startup Disk. If I start Disk Utility, I see my OSX partition, and then I see my BOOTCAMP partition, but now it is unmounted (greyed out) and reads "disk0s3". Attempts to mount it have been unsuccessful. If I try the same from the terminal I receive "Volume on disk0s3 failed to mount".
I attempted to use Parallels to read the drive to at least recover my important documents but when I pointed it to the (what used to be) boot camp partition, the virtual machine reported "no OS installed on this drive".
In some research in the issue, I read something about MacFUSE or NTFS-3G locking down the mount abilities of the drive. Someone is having a similar issue as me here, for example. Finder does see a folder with one file called "ntfs-3g" in /opt/local/var/ in a FUSE folder, but other than that I see no indication of ntfs-3g being installed. Not only that but I attempted both uninstalling and installing MacFUSE from System Preferences. In both cases I could still not mount the drive or boot to my boot camp partition.
Please help! I'm really at my wit's end here and I am horrified at the thought of losing all of my data.
No idea if this helps but here is diskutil info on the partition
Some further research indicates there may be an issue with MBR? This is getting far out of the realm of my expertise so I would have no idea where to start investigating.

I have also tried booting from ubuntu live CD (which did not work and resulted in a very scary loud sysbeeping and flashing of the front LED). Then I tried booting from win7 CD. That may still be a viable option but I need to find a USB keyboard because the stock mackbook pro keyboard seems to not send input when i am prompted for "press any key to boot from CD/DVD".
I also tried uninstalling parallels and installing VMWare Fusion. Fusion also does not detect the BOOTCAMP partition. It doesn't see it at all. Assuming this is because it is still unmounted.
I do not care if I lose my install, I will probably want to do clean installs of both leopard and win7 after this is all over. But I really do need to recover my data. If anyone knows of a utility that can browse unmounted NTFS volumes locally from OSX, I will buy you a thousand peachy penguins.

Still no definitive solution but a few updates.
I was able to boot off the win7 DVD. Apparently I was not slamming the keys fast enough the first few times. I selected the option to repair an installation of windows, but it couldn't identify any NTFS partitions. At that point I decided any hope of booting from this partition was lost, and I may as well just focus on data recovery. I found a tool called FileSalvage which sweeps partitions, mounted or unmounted, and looks for the signature of known file types. It can then restore those files. I believe I should be able to restore most of the files I need with this type of tool, but unfortunately it costs $80. I am still looking for any similar DIY or freeware solutions.

Multiple virualization managers of one BootCamp partition

Is it possible, or has anyone tried to access a single bootcamp partition from both vmware and parallels?
I don't mean to do it at the same time, but I'd like to compare and contrast the advantages of each before committing.
Each will want to install their own tools, but I'm not certain that they are mutually exclusive.
Thx in advance for the kind advice.

The hatter wrote:
Surprised it works. As long as any of the VM tools and modifications are in the OS X support side, but I would have thought that they did insert each their own set of patches and drivers needed.
Are you uninstalling Fusions Tool before using Parallels?
How many virtual disks can be shared and used by multiple VMs? Not just to import or convert.
I've run VMs under Windows Vista on my Mac, and those work quite well.
Sorry I was not clear above when I said "not simultaneously". I meant I did not test both Parallels and Fusion at the same time. I installed Parallels first then tested it. I then installed Fusion, without uninstalling Parallels. I tested Fusion telling it to use my Boot Camp Windows 7 installation, the same one I told Parallels to use. All worked well. I then uninstalled Parallels and continue to use Fusion.
I think the OP was asking if he had to reinstall Boot Camp Windows when he tested each virtual application. My experience is no. But maybe he was asking if he could use both Parallels and Fusion at the same time. I am not using both at the same time.

Invisible bootcamp partition after failed removal

Hi everyone
In the process of removing a Windows partition, I accidentally quit Bootcamp (trying to quit another application). Now, the partition neither shows up in Disk Utility nor anywhere else - of course disk space still taken.
Disk repair didn't do anything... Is there any way around having to reformat the whole drive?
Thanks!

celeron,
Well, you are evidently not seeing the same thing I do when I proceed through the Assistant (I have a Windows partition, and have described what I see as far as I can go without actually touching that partition).
Have you tried removing the partition with Disk Utility? We're not supposed to use Disk Utility's dynamic partitioning capabilities with a Bootcamp partition, but you are having trouble with the correct tool. It's worth a try.
Select your drive in Disk Utility (the drive, not a named volume), then switch to the "Partition" tab. Unlock the padlock, if necessary. In the graphical representation of partitions, select the Windows volume, then click the "-" sign below the graph to remove it. Click "Apply" to give Disk Utility the go-ahead. It will either work, or it won't.

Bootcamp partition issue after Yosemite upgrade

I've installed bootcamp on my mac. Later on I needed more space on my bootcamp partition and used some method to shrink the mac partition and increase the bootcamp partition. This method worked fine until I did a Yosemite upgrade today. Now I see that my bootcamp partition is gone and has reverted to it's original size. Below is a screenshot of disk utility and outputs of the commands wanted. I need help in recovering my bootcamp partition. Thank you very much.

I want to reformat ONLY my Mac partition leaving my bootcamp partition intact. How do I do that?

As title explains. I want to do a reformat of my disc without affecting my windows partition.

No.
You will use Disk Utility (from the Recovery Partition, Command-R), select the partition, go to the erase tab and set the format (MacOS Extended (Journaled) then erase the partition.

BOOTCAMP partition not showing up on Mac OSX after resize

Hello, I have a iMac 27" late 2013 with OSX 10.9.5 and recently I resized my bootcamp partition and reformatted the OSX partition for a clean install. After the formatting, I cannot see or access the Bootcamp partition anymore. I really don't want to have Windows anymore, but I messed up thinking I would be able to recover my files. I tried following these answers but none of them worked for me. Now I can try to boot into Windows, but it gets into a disk error.
- I tried this solution without any success: http://nerdr.com/bootcamp-partition-lost-repairing-mac-partitions/
- I tried LonerT's solution on this post but it was hard to apply to my case: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6574886

   4:       Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP                249.0 GB   disk0s4
Could anyone give me some hints? I tried following other solutions but I don't really grasp how partitioning works on the OS X.
Thanks anyhow

Apparently the Bootcamp partition isn't starting where it should be, since I resized it.

Is it possible to resize a OSX partition without affecting a Bootcamp partition?
