Lost access to OSX after adding partitions in Windows

I have a brand new MacBook Pro Retina and have used Boot Camp to install Windows 8.1.
All was working well and I could swap between OSX and Windows.
Then I booted into Windows and went to work on re-partitioning it since I like to separate OS and data. In the Computer Management - Disk Management app I first shrank the Windows partition and then I created two new data partitions and moved some labels around so that now the partition arrangement shown is....
EFI System partition - unlabeled
Drive D - HFS - large, assume this is OSX partition
Drive Z - HFS - small, assume this is HD recovery partition
Drive F - Big Data - second new data partition created
Drive C - BOOTCAMP - windows OS boot partition
Drive E - Data - first new data partition created.
Now I cannot boot OSX either
a. by selecting a partition in Boot Camp app which shows 5 partitions all of which boot windows
b. by holding down Alt key during startup which shows only the Windows partition.
My reading so far has revealed my stupidity in that I now know Boot Camp works through an MBR which only supports 4 partitions and I now have 6. So I have to work out what to do next. My options appear to be
a. Live with what I have - my primary OS is Windows and I can live without the OSX (I bought a Macbook 'cos I wanted both though)
b. Delete the 2 additional partitions and hope this will restore access to OSX. Live with data in the OSX partition
c. Find some solution that will allow me to use OSX occasionally using current partitions - I guess that means 3rd party tools
Any advice please. In particular will simply deleting new data partitions and resizing windows partition to original size get back to the original working configuration. I can of course try this but am wary of ending up with no working partitions now.

Apologies for replying to my own message here but I have extra info
Running gdisk on windows shows following info

Can anyone comment on the advisability of editing the partition 2 (OSX) code back to AB for Apple Boot?

  • Bootcamp no longer works after adding partition via Windows 7

    I needed a D: drive in Windows and shrunk the system (C:) partition and added another partition intended to be a secondary drive in Windows.  After rebooting Windows throws a BSOD and I can't even select OS X as a bootable option.  Is anyone able to point me in the right direction on how to fix?  Thank you!

    i completely lost access to mail after installing iOS 6.0.1. The app 'mail' won't even open now. How do I fix this?

    You mean the Apple Mail app? Updated through software Update in the Apple Menu?.
    Or maybe you downloaded Mail from another source?
    Do you still have Snow Leopard or didn't you update your profile?

  • Boot camp how to delete osx and merge partitions for  windows 7?

    Im installing windows 7 through boot camp but without a dvd. Im using a installer from my university. I can only install it on a partition becouse i dont have the disc. It is done over the network. I have tried deleting the mac osx partition in windows and expanding the windows one, but osx is on the left of windows so it will not expand. Is there any way possible to delete osx and expand a windows partition to the entire drive? i know its not possible in windows but mabye some third party tool. I would preffer it to be free but anything is less than the 200 dollors i would have to spend getting another liscense.

    Thanks again for replying, but I dont think you understand. I have boot camp assistant and all drivers installed. I will explain a little further why i can not do xy&z. This is my installations process.
    1.  I go to campus and plug in my computer to the schools ethernet.
    2. Login to the university's server and download the university's custom bootcamp installer.
    3.My university's custom installer creates a partition on my mac and images that partition over the network with windows 7.
    4. The whole time ive never seen a dvd, iso, or microsoft, apple anything. Its all done automatically and i have no option of downloading the image myself and doing it manually.
    5. I create a account and password in windows and im stuck with windows on a partition on my mac.
    So as you see above i dont have a dvd to pop in my computer or the ability to create one in order to delete the hdd and install windows only.
    I need a way of deleting osx after windows is already installed. Becouse osx is to the left of windows in windows disc management this is(for all i can figure) impossible with just a repair disc, disc utility, and windows disc management. Im looking for a possible third part tool that can accompilsh this.
    I even tried making a image in windows and re imaging with a repair disc, Low and behold, windows recreated the evil partition with a 190 unalocated gigabites of space to the left of windows. i wanted to pull my eyes out.

  • Cannot access Crystal Reports after adding SP1

    On a new install of Crystal Reports 2008 I downloaded and added SP1 (cr121_clickonce.zip) to try to update my .NET to the new version of Crystal.  I now get the error message:
    The procedure entry point ?PrintLegend@CMapXLegend@CSLib300@@QAEXJJJJJ@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library cslibu-3-0.dll.
    I also added the update from 'cr120_redist_install.zip'  which will allow my users to access the .NET files and programs they need.  (This I did only on one machine to test its success)
    I am sure it is a case of inexperience but can you help me get back in business with Crystal Reports 2008

    Hmmm, "... I downloaded and added SP1 (cr121_clickonce.zip)"
    That file is not the SP 1 download. Sp 1 is here:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100010503722008E/cr2008_sp1.exe
    So. At this point, I'm not really clear as what has been done and why.
    E.g.; "...I downloaded and added SP1 (cr121_clickonce.zip) to try to update my .NET to the new version of Crystal"
    - this sounds kinda muddled up...
    And this: "I also added the update from 'cr120_redist_install.zip' which will allow my users to access the .NET files and programs they need. " also does not sound right.
    I'd recommend uninstalling CR 2008 on your development system. Reinstall and then Apply SP 1 from the above link. This will update you to CR 2008 SP1 on the development computer.
    Now, if you are then trying to deploy a .NET app to a client, use the MSI from here:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011722132008E/cr121_redist_install.zip
    or you can build your own deployment project using the msm from here:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011715292008E/cr121_mm.zip

  • How do I access User directories after a reinstall of Windows. I have the passwords but no way to access the directories.

    I got a Windows wont start xc0000001. This means it cant be repaired (it fails). There are two drives set up as a RAID 1 pair.
    Each has a small partition (defined as the X drive) that I was able to reinstall windows 7 on. This partition was originally used for the Windows reinstall files. There was sufficient space on the X drive to reinstall Windows 7.
    However, the C: drive, where the installation was originally could not be repaired and so the small partition was used successfully.
    Here's the problem. All the files that are in the "C:\Users\username" are not accessible in  that it requires "Administrative privileges" which my new user account has. I have all
    the passwords to the each user associated with those directories and all the sub-directories, but no way to input the passwords or username and passwords to access these files. How can I access these files/directories?
    I want to copy them off the current drive (along with all the other directories like Program Files, etc.), reformat the drives (which show no errors in fdisk and other tests), reinstall Windows 7 again on C: and start to reuse the computer again.
    I can access the drives thought the CMD Prompt if I insert the Windows Disk, I cannot

  • Macbook Pro 17 cannot boot into Mac OS anymore after making partition on windows

    My Mac is a Macbook Pro 17", I got it from my friend (no original disc).
    So after upgrading it to Mavericks (I was unable to install Windows using Boot camp of 10.6.8), Boot Camp successfully let me install Windows 7 Professional (x64).
    The problem is that, I shrink the Boot Camp partition, and create another NTFS partition (so I can store data in the second partition as I usually do when using Windows). Now, I cannot boot into Mac OS anymore. Holding Command + Option + R does nothing, holding Option while startup shows a hard drive named Windows (instead of Mac HD). And no Recovery HD too

    shakhriyor,
    you’re going to need to purchase a replacement pair of the original grey installation DVDs for your MacBook Pro from Apple to be able to fix this problem.

    It wasnt like this before. Before 3 and 4 had some of the same values from above instead of all 0s. After trying to take advice from threads with similar problems and entering stuff into the command line it became like this. I think I might have messed thing up while looking for a quick fix.
    Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

    I'm not sure how to edit my replies so I'm just gonna make another reply. I assumed the following values:

    I followed the rest of the instructions given here. I made sure to enter the second number with a + sign. After doing all of that all these checks worked:
    Test 1 - Does Bootcamp Volume show up in Finder?
    Test 2 - Can you see files in Bootcamp Volume?
    Test 3 - Can you select Bootcamp in System Preferences -> Startup Disk?
    I've always been able to access my bootcamp files from finder and I can try to boot from System Preferences -> startup disk, from rEFIt and also from my macbooks startup manager that I access by holding down option while booting.
    I'm starting to think I've misrepresented my problem and that I've been looking at the wrong threads. Every time I try to boot windows I get a black screen with the Windows logo and some text saying something like "starting automatic recovery" or something like that. It then takes me to a blue screen displaying an error number and telling me to use recovery tools on the installation media. Maybe this is different from the problems I've been looking at in other threads.
    I've tried using the same USB I used to install bootcamp with but it doesn't give me the option of repairing the installation.
    EDIT: So I figured out how to edit replies. Anyway I just tried to boot into Windows and checked. The black screen with the Windows logo says "Preparing Automatic Repair". The blue screen gives me the error 0xc00000e.

  • Can't Mount Windows Partition in OSX After Upgrading to 10.5 and BC 2.0

    I just installed Leopard today, using the upgrade option (as opposed to a clean install). I was happy to see that I could boot into Windows still, and installed all of the Boot Camp 2.0 drivers while booted into Vista. However, I can no longer mount my Windows partition in OSX. While using Tiger, I did use MacFuse and ntfs-3g to get read-write support, but in Leopard, I can't even read. When I try to mount the Windows volume in Disk Utility, I get an error stating that it cannot be mounted. I also do not have the option to perform "First Aid" or "Repair" on the volume.
    I realize that the latest version of ntfs-3g isn't proven to work with Leopard, but I would at least like read access in OSX. Is it possible that some settings were left over from my Tiger configuration that would not allow Leopard to mount the partition? Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Ok. I'm in the club with the same problem...
    Strange things:
    * For the first days after Leopard's install, my BootCamp disk0s3 partition (I'll name it "BillGates") was mounted correctly. Then, after a few days (but BEFORE upgrading to 10.5.1), it disappeared.
    * If I launch DiskUtility "BillGates" is shown, but (in the right device navigation bar) it's named "-n BillGates". If I click the Erase menu, it's named "-nBillGates" (without the space between "-n" and "BillGates"). If I launch SystemProfiler it's named "-n BillGates", but the mount point is "/Volumes/billgates". Can't understand where this "-n" thing is coming from!
    * If I try to mount "-n BillGates" from DiskUtility it doesn't work and the log says "Mount of -n BillGates failed".
    * In the FSTAB there were no instructions: it was empty.
    Now, I tried the MacFUSE-solution: no results (meaning BillGates was not mounted on startup).
    I tried the modify-the-FSTAB-solution: no results (with "BillGates", "-n BillGates" nor "-nBillGates".
    I tried the chkdsk-solution: all tests were ok, but nothing happened.
    The only trick that worked was mounting the partition with Terminal's commands (thanks rtracy!!). It made appear "BillGates" on the desktop (without the "-n thing", that is still present in DiskUtility).
    Problem is at the first reboot, the Boot Camp partition disappears again. Any ideas for a permanent fix?!
    Giangiacomo.
    ADDENDUM: I've tried to move a file from desktop to an unlocked folder in BillGates and System did not copy them. "The item could not be moved because "BillGates" cannot be modified" !!!!!!!!

  • Bootcamp broken after adding 3rd partition

    I've broken Bootcamp after foolishly attempting to add another partition on Lion (to install Snow Leopard, to run Quicken 2007). Now I can't boot into Windows. Interestingly, I can access it via Parallels, but there are times I need to be in native mode. Any ideas on how to fix it? I tried booting off the Windows 7 install CD, but when I get to the repair screen, it gives me an error that the system isn't the right version to repair. Odd, in that it's the system that was installed off that very disk, though it has been updated via patches over the last year.
    Any help in a way to not have to reinstall everything?
    Thanks!

    Added a partition how? Disk Utility doesn't let you do this. Although the command line utility 'diskutil' will let you split partitions. I don't know if it properly writes out a new hybrid MBR however. Apple hardware is EFI firmware based, and EFI and Apple's OS installer want a GPT disk. But the CSM-BIOS that Apple uses for Windows support isn't activated unless there's an MBR. So there is a very non-standard and fragile thing called a hybrid MBR which is what Bootcamp creates to support Windows. Chances are, by adding a new partition, it was added to the GPT causing a new GPT and protective MBR to be created, wiping out the hybrid MBR. It is possible to fix this without reinstalling anything (assuming you haven't corrupted any partitions indvertently which is possible with hybrid MBRs), and for free.
    In terminal, type this command, post the results:
    diskutil list
    This will list all disks and partitions for those disks, from the GPT. Chances are the disk you're interested in is disk0, which I will assume in the next command:
    sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
    This command will list the partitions for disk0, from the MBR.
    Once I know what that looks like, I'd have a better idea of the state of the disk. The next step involves getting GPT Fdisk (also called gdisk) from here:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/
    This can be used to create a new hybrid MBR and set the active (boot) flag on the proper MBR partition for Windows. It is a command line utility, the options to choose are not obvious for most people, you can easily get into big trouble quickly. So make sure you have a backup, go really slow, and ask for help. If you don't get it on the Apple forums, you can generally find knowlegable people about MBR and GPT, and dual booting situations on the Fedora Forum in the Mac forum.

  • Airport settings lost in osx after using windows 7 in bootcamp??

    Hi forum members, I thought I'd ask this question as I have been noticing this in the last few days.
    First things first, my kit:
    13 inch MBP with 2.3GHz i5 processor. 4GB RAM running OSX 10.7.1
    My problem:
    I recently set up a bootcamp partition runnning windows 7 upgraded from windows XP sp2. This install went well (considering the number of threads to the contrary!) and I now happily run windows 7 pro in a partition on my mac.
    The problem arises when I return to OSX having just been on the windows 7 partition. I can't connect to the internet with airport. I can make a connection to the router but it cannot actually make a connection to the internet itself.
    I have found one solution which requires me to repair the permissions in the disk utility after I first log back in to Lion but I'm a bit worried about continually doing this as I don't know what the long term effects will be if done frequently.
    Can anyone suggest a) what might be happening, and b) a better solution to the problem than to have to head into disk utility after every windows use?
    Thanks in advance and best regards,
    Dan Drysdale

    An update/follow up for anyone else who had seen this thread:
    What appears to have happened is that the DHCP lease has been getting reset so going into
    system preference - network - airport - advance - tcp/ip
    and renewing dhcp lease seems to bring the internet back.
    I dunno, if that's the ultimate solution but it appears to be what is happening at least as far as I can see.
    Smarter people may know better.
    Cheers,
    Dan Drysdale.

    Just uploaded OSX Mavericks and lost access to I Photo. Do I need to download paid for app to access my photos now?

    Here's the current version of iPhoto.  Try installing that, and see if things work better.

  • Connect to Database that has lost access to a partition

    Dear all
    Assume we have a partitioned table that locate in some different storage(physically). If the database lost access to one of them, what would happen? Can the database be loaded? If user can't connect to the database, what can we do to overcome the issue(because one of features of partitioning is availability)? If a user try to get some data(by query), will oracle declare that one partition is not available and thus the information may be incomplete?
    Best regards
