Lost all my HDD space after cancelling partition!

Short Story...Ive lost all my HDD space after cancelling partition, i had 1TB now i only have 13gb
Long story...I installed parraeles desktop 8, went to install windows 7, it said i only had 60gb free, went to disk utility to try and partition to 150gb but only allowed me to partition 50:50 for unknown reason, i began the partition and then cancelled it as i wanted to try and only allow 150gb for windows 7, now it does not show partition at all, and says i only have 13gb free!!!
PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!!
Running OXs 10.8.2

Do you have a Time Machine backup of your system, if not make one.  Then go back into disk utility and delete the partition you just made.  To install Windows 7 via Parallels Desktop 8 you don't need to partition your hard drive the program takes care of the entire install.

  • Disk Utility lost disk space after cancelling partition resizing

    Hi,
    I accidentally cancelled the process of creating new partition (by shrinking old).
    Now I have 50 GB of disk space lost.
    How can I fix it?
    Thanks.

    Yeah, I found the solution of the space problem caused by same reason here:
    Disk Utility quit. Missing HD space!
    Nothing happened. So probably will have to reinstall it.

  • BSOD followed by a lost of 12gb HDD space

    Hello,
    I've encountered BSOD saying "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". Soon after restarting, I've noticed that I have a lost of 12GB hdd space. 
    This is not the first time. Last week I have another BSOD, which was related to my nvidia driver, and soon after restarting I had a lost of 10GB hdd space.
    I did some research online and someone suggested that it might be due to the size of the dump file. I've check the dump file and it is only a mere 292KB! 
    Could anyone please let me know how to recover the 12GB lost of hdd space as well as solving the "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" problem?

    These crashes were related to memory corruption (probably caused by a driver). 
    Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.  
    If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved.
    If you don't know what it is you probably are not overclocking.

  • I have lost all my notes data after restore. Anyone know how to retrieve notes after restore?

    I have lost all my notes data after restore. Anyone know how to retrieve notes after restore?
    I havent' took any backup of my notes in icloud. The moment I enter the password after restore my notes will be empty. The only option to get notes back is that after restore skip entering icloud password. But any time I enter icloud password anywhere again my notes will be empty. I have huge data saved in my notes. Apple need to look into this issues very seriously. This is the 5th time I restoring my iphone today just to get my note back.

  • Lost all contacts and data after update iOS 7.1.2, how to recover all the data?

    it's very important to me...

    Restore from your last backup file.

  • I lost all of my contacts after update

    I lost all of my contacts after installing new software. How can i retrieve them back...or can i retrieve them??

    If you have an Icloud backup, sign in to your account. It will reload your contacts. If over a computer, use a previous device backup, or in the sync menu of your devce, go to mail and contacts and select the info you want to copy to your iphone, if you have the contact info on your computer. If by chance dont have icloud, or a previous backup to itunes, then I'm afraid that your contacts are gone. This is why I went to Icloud as soon as I got ios 5. Hope this helps

    Contact iTunes support & request they add the lost music to your iTunes download queue:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    Apps, you can re-download for free.

  • I lost all my phone contacts after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5.

    I lost all my phone contacts after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5. It's not just contacts, my photos, messages, mail and everything is gone. I did the back-up thing on iTunes too before I updated the iOS. The only thing that restored was the apps. Is there anyway to get this back?

    If you no longer have service with AT&T, I don't believe you can.

  • Lost HDD space after reinstall of OS X

    I recently purchased a Mac Mini (Mid 2011) used. The previous owner failed to restore to factory settings. Being a good neighbor, I looked for a way to restore and rid the Mac of their info. I pressed the (command + R) shortcut and then it had a world on screen. It checked the hard drive and components, I assume from reading, then went to a small menu. I read that I would use disc utility and erase option. I did. Set the correct formatting. Then I go back to the small menu. I didn't have wifi connected so next it prompted me to connect. When I clicked off the menu, it disappeared. I could not see it again nor could I see wifi option. I read it was at the top right so I click, click, click, and viola wifi option. Obvious at this point the screen is not all showing. I'm on a Sony Bravia 32". Now with wifi connected, I began searching for where the menu may have hidden. No luck. I was forced to shut off and try again. (Command + R) again. Small menu is back after the world pops up and checks everything again. I click install Lion and it checks with Apple and asks what HDD. I originally had 500.11 GB. I checked it via the guest account prior to my trying this. It may have also been seen during the process mentioned. Then it gives an HDD with only 499.87 GB. I think OK maybe it's an updated larger version of Lion. So I proceed. Half way through a 7 hour stint, my wifi signal gets knocked out. It prompts to reconnect and then start again. The problem after that is the status bar is all blue and no download time left anymore which one would think its indicating its finished. I knew better than that so I left it for what I think was still maybe downloading. Another 7 hours later. It is still running. I make the decision to abort and try again. This time taking same steps, but with a 12' Ethernet cable. No more disconnects. Now it goes through same process then for hard drive selection it says 498.22 GB. So obviously with no other choice, I select it. Now for the questions.
    1. What happened to HDD space?
    2. Can it be recovered? If so, please do tell! Without $100 in additional software.
    3. Did I seemingly succeed in removing previous owners info?
    4. Why does downloading via Ethernet have the same speed as wifi?
    5. When I complete reinstall can I register this product with Apple?
    6. Will making a USB drive allow the same small menu and options for restoration of the Mac?

    First off, you should run the Safari 4 beta uninstaller that came with Safari 4.
    Secondly, if Safari 3.2.1 doesn't work, it probably is because some network application you previously installed hasn't been tested with it. Did you install any cell phone or PDA syncing software recently? The Hotsync typically is a plugin for cell phone or PDA syncing software.

  • Mysterious usage of my external HDD space after last backup on TM?

    Recently, after some problems with TM giving me a pop up error, I turned off TM and used my WD MyBook as a normal external and have just been copying files onto it. Last night, I figured it has been a bit too long since I last backed-up my mac's HD (I backed up right before I upgraded to ML in the beginning of August). It took well over an hour for it to just prepare the backup, then took almost all night to backup 100GB worth of data (I downloaded a few games and I purchased a few TV series). Before the backup, i checked the "Get Info" option of my external and saw that it said I had about 600GB of my 1TB left for space, but then when I started the backup, it went down to 70GB left!!! My internal HDD is only 250GB, so I dont see how 600GB could be used up just like that... with all the files (pictures, videos, shows, and games) that I manually put into my external HDD, i use up only about 300-400GB. Even if I used up ALL of the space on my internal and backed up everything, it still doesnt add up to the 900GB that have been mysteriously used up. Any clue where all of this data was used up? should i delete my old backups from older versions of my mac's OS and just make the most recent back-up what I have on my mac now? Any help would be appreciated!! I feel as if TM did something wrong when i backed up my data after 2 months

    By going into the options you gave me, it said that the size of the backup should still be 211GB, which still doesnt make up for the good 300 GB discrepancy. Could it be that it is making multiple copies of my internal due to the fact that i updated my OS?

  • PLEASE HELP ME! Mozilla Sync just lost all of my bookmarks after a format

    Please help me oh god =(
    After so long of using Weave then switching to Sync.. I think I finally lost my bookmarks (and everything else Sync saves) and I have --absolutely no clue how--
    I had to format after a very mean trojan, and a few minutes ago i just installed firefox and sync -- I selected "Merge my bookmarks" and nothing happened, so frantically I tried all kinds of things -- after clicking on the "replace" option (and not actually doing it) it states I had 64 bookmarks although 0 passwords and 0 of something else, I was extremely happy to see that although I searched EVERYWHERE in my computer and they were no where to be found.. I restarted Firefox thinking they would suddenly pop up and they did not..
    Now after restarting I did the "replace" button again and it was down to 14 bookmarks (which I believe is the amount you start with)
    Is there ANYTHING I can do? Can the people at Mozilla Sync find my bookmarks? There was so much there =( All I did was merge and just... nothing happened.. So I panicked, was I supposed to restart he browser immediately after merging my bookmarks and things? Oh god =( Instead of saving all of my info on a disc when formating, I trusted Sync to save all of my information in bookmarks and things.. Now it is all lost, there are even some email addresses that I had passwords saved and now I have no way to recover them.
    Is there ANYTHING I can do?????? Anything at all =/ This was NOT supposed to happen, all I did was Merge! Was I not supposed to Merge? I've used Merge a hundred times in the past! Please keep in mind that I formatted so there is no hope of using a backup.
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == after a format

    Ok, this has happened to me twice now. I've been using weave since pre-1.0.
    The first time I needed to wipe a cluttered firefox profile, then re-merged my sync and while it restored all of my bookmarks, it only caught half my passwords.
    The second time, today, I needed to reinstall windows. I connected to firefox sync and selected merge, but the only bookmarks merged in were those I added recently, likely since the 1.4 update.
    This is very troubling to me as there was never any warning that all of my data would not be secure. It was my fault for depending on it but now several years worth of bookmarks are just gone.
    Am I using it wrong? When a new version comes out do I need to somehow re-sync everything? One would think that is taken care of automatically.
    Please let us know if there is a way to recover our lost data.
    And for the sake of other users please track this down and consider warning people they could lose their data.
    Thank you.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

  • Lost all my purchased music after update!

    I recently purchased the software update for my iPod touch, and have now lost all of my purchased music from my iTunes. How can I get it back?

    Your music is normally stored in your iTunes library (which is how it was originally synced to your phone) and syncing with iTunes would transfer it back to your phone.  If it isn't in your iTunes library your only option is to re-import it and then sync it to your phone.  Music has never been included in the iPhone backup.  (When you restore an iCloud backup it merely redownloads your purchased music from the iTunes store.)
    ------But my music from ripped CDs and playlists are now missing from my  iTunes library on my commuter too after I upgraded/downloaded the latest iTunes version that was suggested. 11.0 I think? So if I don't have the CDs to rip again, the music is pretty much lost then huh?
