Made a new partition on Macintosh HD, Boot Camp will no longer boot.

Specs:
MacBook Air 2013
8GB RAM
i7
512GB SSD
Hello all, looking for some assistance.
My HD is formatted to 400GB of OSX and 80GB of Boot Camp. I stupidly made the mistake of adding a new partition out of the large amount of free space I have on the OSX partition, to format the new partition for Windows. This made Boot Camp no longer boot. On the Disk select screen after holding Option on boot, my Boot Camp partition is not visible. I can see everything on the partition on OSX, however.
To try and fix this, I deleted the new partition and tried to reduce the hard drive back to the original two partitions. However, I cannot extend the OSX partition to fill in the new free space. So now I have a Boot Camp partition, my OSX partition, and 20GB of unused, free space that I cannot use or put back into the original partition.
I asked AppleCare live chat for any assistance, they suggested that I use "Erase free space" in Disk Utility to use the space again. However, the option is greyed out on both the drive and the Macintosh HD partition.
After a bit of googling I saw a suggestion of making a USB Recovery drive to get the space back through Disk Utility that way. This still did not work; the results were the same, unable to add the space back to the original partition, and "Erase free space" is still greyed out.
Using BootChamp (notice the H, this is an app that allows you to restart and boot directly into Boot Camp through OSX), I get a DOS screen saying "No bootable device – insert boot disk and press any key". I cannot get this screen any other way.
I have repaired and verified the disk and its permissions, to no avail.
I cannot think of anything else to do short of formatting the entire drive but this is obviously less than preferable. I additionally do not have a backup of the BootCamp partition (as it is not accessible), even though everything is visible on the partition through OSX.
So, in summary, I added a new partition to my HD and now Boot Camp will not boot. Any ideas?

"rEFIt is an alternative bootloader for your Mac that's a lot more forgiving. If you don't think investing in iPartition is worth it, I'd give this a shot:
In rEFIt, do not boot: go to the EFI shell, and type "gptsync". This will tell you that the partition table is out of sync, and will offer to sync it for you. Say "yes", naturally. Now reboot and all systems should be go!"
This worked.

  • New partition & windows no longer boots

    Hey all, up until now i have had 3 partitions on my drive - Snow leopard, General media and Windows 7. I decided to add a linux partition and made a new partition using disk utility. I boot up to the choose disk screen to install ubuntu to find that windows is no longer an option for boot up, so i deleted the new partition and it still won't boot into windows anymore.
    How can i restore the booting function? Doing it with a linux partition too would be preferable but it isn't necessary.
    Thanks,
    Brad

    Hi Brad and welcome to Discussions,
    Hi John,
    A later done partitioning to add additional partitions to a harddisk alters the position of the BootCamp partition in the partition table so that the Windows Bootloader can not 'find' the Windows partition.
    With Windows XP it helped to simply edit the Boot.Ini file and point it to the WIndows partition.
    With Vista and Windows 7 there no longer is a boot.ini but EasyBCD http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 can do the same.
    One thing to remember though is, that even Vista and Windows 7 'suffer' from the limitation of four partitions on one harddisk immenent to the Master Boot Record (MBR) since Apples EFI/GPT/MBR emulation can not handle Extended Partitions and Logical Partitions inside an Extended Partition.

  • Creating a new partition on OSX has replaced a drive. Is there anyway to recover this?

    This might be a little confusing so I will try and explain myself as best as I can.
    I run OSX and Windows 7. OSX is on 1 harddrive whilst my windows 7 install is on an SSD. I had a partition titled G:Win7 Files, this was not where Windows 7 was installed but a partition I used to store files for use on windows. I recently made a new partition from the drive with OSX installed on for use with Windows. I did this on OSX and when I rebooted into Windows, my G:Win7 Files drive has now been replaced with G:Windows (which was the partition I'd just created from a different drive.)
    Because they are seperate drives, I was really hoping there would be a way to find this lost drive. It's showing that 18gb is being used of the new partition however that's how much data was on my missing drive and the new one appears empty.
    I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to be asking about this but I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction on how to go about fixing this!
    Thanks

    Thanks. Ya that is a big bummer, I never knew to write down my recovery key... Maybe this should be more clearly explained in the preferences panel.

  • Trying to install SL on a new hard-drive for my iMac, when asked which disk to install on it gave me no options, i followed advice from another forum and created a partition, now can't boot from the new drive at all. Help?

    I've had **** with my iMac, the hard-drive failed so i replaced it with a new 1TB Samsung drive. Then when i tried to install SL from the install disk, all went to plan until it asked me which drive i wanted to install it on, where it came up with a box where my options should have been, but instead it didn't give me any options to install it on any drive i.e. it asked which drive i wanted to install it on but no drives came up to select.
    So i followed the advice from another forum, look at the 'Extended Hard-drive preparation' response
    ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/10576009#10576009 )
    After following these instructions i have now got a new partition, but when i restarted my computer to install SL on the drive, the option to boot from the drive is now not available, now i must boot from the install disk, whereas before i was able to boot from either the install disk or the hard drive. The hard drive is still visible in disk utility as it always has been, but i am now unable to boot from it, let alone install SL.
    Please help my iMac has been broken for months and i've been trying to fix it for so long and am getting problem after problem. Thank you!

    Hi db2
    That off the shelf MS-DOS / FAT-32 drive needs to re-partitioned GUID Partition Table / Mac OS Extended (Journaled) before you can install OS X and Startup your Intel iMac from it.
    1. Boot from your original install or retail SL DVD and open Disk Utility.
    2. Highlight the new HD in the list of drives and select the Partition tab.
    3. Under Volume Scheme select 1 Partition and click on the Options... button.
    4. Select GUID Partition Table in the drop down window and click OK.
    5. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Apply button.
    6. Once thats done, then you can do a clean SL Install, Restore from TM , your old HD or  Bootable Clone.

  • I have created a new partition on the Mac HD for Lion as I would like to dual boot. Do I need to install Snow Leopard on that partition before installing Lion? If so, can I use one of my Time Machine backups to do this?

    No, you can't partition a Time Capsule's internal HD.  Both partitions will back up to the same sparse bundle. keeping the backups for each partition separate.
    Time Machine will not take the two OSX partitions as two different computers, but for best results, exclude the Snow Leopard drive from backups on the Lion partition, and exclude the Lion partition from backups on the Snow Leopard partition.
    There may be some files on the Lion partition that Time Machine on Snow Leopard won't like, among other things.  See #10 in  Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details.

  • Repairing Boot Camp after creating new partition

    I'm running OS X 10.8 and Windows 7 x64 Pro.
    After properly setting up Boot Camp to dual-boot Windows on my Mac mini, I decided to test whether or not it was true that creating another partition (a data partition for OS X) would interfere with Boot Camp.  Wikipedia claims it does interfere but without citing a source, whilst the Boot Camp documentation itself only specifies that the disk must be a single partition _prior_ to setup - there's no mention of whether the disk must be _kept_ that way afterwards.
    I opened Disk Utility, reduced the size of my OS X parition from 420GB to 80GB, and created a new partition in the unallocated space.  Here's how it looks now:
    When I attempted to proceed with the process, I did receive a warning that doing this (and I quote), "may" cause problems with Boot Camp.  Seeing as it was inconclusive, I thought I'd give it a shot - nothing ventured…
    Of course, it borked Boot Camp, otherwise I wouldn't be posting here.  Whilst OS X boots just fine, the Boot Camp partition now no longer shows up in the Startup Manager, though it does in the Startup Disk prefPane.  If I do attempt to boot into Boot Camp, I receive the following message on a black screen:
    No bootable device --- insert boot disk and press any key
    The advice given to someone who had this same problem was, "fix your damaged Boot Camp volume."  But I'm at a loss as to how to do that.
    So, anyone know how to proceed now so that I can keep my partitions as is, whilst fully restoring normal Boot Camp functionality?

  • Lost Windows 7 boot option after creating new partition

    First of all im new to Mac os.
    i have installed windows 7 using boot camp and after it i tried to create a new partition from the main mac partition and it was created successfullly however now the windows 7 boot option is not available for some reason.
    how can i have this option back?

    You broke it by adding the extra partition, remove Boot Camp (read the directions as to how) and start again. Do not add partitions next time.
    Do not use Disk Utility to remove the Boot Camp Partition, use it to remove any extra partitions.
    Backup your machine now.

  • HT4718 i need to install a fresh copy of OS X onto my macbook pro 13. i did erase the old partition "macintosh hd" & now when i am trying to create a new partition, it shows "partition failed..couldnt unmount disk"...pls help !!

    i need to install a fresh copy of OS X onto my macbook pro 13. i did erase the old partition "macintosh hd" & now when i am trying to create a new partition, it shows "partition failed..couldnt unmount disk"...pls help !!

    First of all, I have to ask, why to you "need" to install a fresh copy of OSX?
    This may mean that your hard drive is failing, so hopefully you have a backup.
    I'm assuming you were in your recovery partition when you did this.
    I would, from the recovery partition, repair your hard drive and permissions.
    When to Run First Aid in Mountain Lion's Disk Utility - For Dummies
    And then try to create the partition again.
    If that doesn't work, you have a few options:
    Try a third party utility like DiskWarrior or TechTool which may be able to repair your hard drive:
    DiskWarrior 4 - The Disk Utility for Mac Disk Repair, Mac Directory Repair, Mac Disk Recovery, Mac Data Recovery or Techtool Pro 7
    Try internet recovery, perhaps erase the entire hard drive and reinstall ML.
    If nothing else works, then I'd replace the HD and start over.

    You can not create another partition on a drive containing a Boot Camp partition. You now need to erase then format your drive. Reinstall OSX then reuse Boot Camp Assistant to create a new Boot Camp partition. Reinstall Windows. Ensure you copy off all your data before erasing and formatting the drive.

  • Bootcamp "no bootable disk" after new partition made

    Hi All
    I'm not a tech head and I've seen a bunch of confusing things on this issue but here goes nothing to get an answer
    I am running OSX Mavericks on a Imac 2011. I've run Bootcamp Windows 7 for ages. But I decided to make a share drive so i siphoned off some data and made another FAT partition in Disk Utility and I think I have stuffed the MBR. Now I get the 'No Bootable Disk' when I try to get into Bootcamp
    I tried repairing it with Refit - didn't work
    Tried repairing the main drive - didn't work
    Trired this solution  but didn't have permission in Terminal to change the fdisk - not that I fully understood what that was doing so I was kind of glad
    Tried to follow this but got nowhere as it was over my head and using Windows tools
    Please help

  • Restore volume of third partition to Macintosh HD Volume

    I recently decided to increase the volume of my bootcamp disk, which I had done in the past using a method which ultimately made the disk unrecognizable. This time around I used Winclone to create an image of my bootcamp disk. I was not sure exactly how Winclone worked and to be safe I decided to keep the Bootcamp disk I had, and I created a third partition of a larger volume to which I restored the bootcamp image. Everything worked fine obviously, and the image was restored correctly to the new larger volume. The dilemma is I had two bootcamp disks, so I erased the smaller volume because I no longer needed it. Currently I am trying to restore this empty space within the main disk to the Macintosh HD. Disk util looks like:
    I know I can just create a backup of the macintosh HD, another image of the bootcamp disk, and format the disk and start over, but I am hoping there is an easier way to go about this; considering there has been a method engineered such that I can just drag that corner of the mac HD and voila I have instantly more storage after applying, it seems viable that there is something that can be done rather than formatting my disk, unless the necessity for that of course was overlooked.
    Thanks for any help.

    You need to delete the Boot Camp partition, resize the Macintosh HD one to the desired size, and then create a new Boot Camp partition. Use the Boot Camp Assistant to do #1 and #3.

  • Disk Utility can't create a new partition

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create a new partition to install Windows 7 on, but I am unable to do so.
    At first I tried to do this with Boot Camp Assistant, but it didn't work.
    Then I tried to create a FAT partition with Disk Utility, which didn't work either.
    So I verified and repaired the disk, tried to create the partition again, yet it still didn't work.
    I verified and repaired the disk and tried to create the partition while running the OS, in Safe Mode and from the Mac OSX Install DVD.
    Neither of them worked.
    I noticed while running the OS, the info of the HD said the capacity is 749.81 GB, while checking that from the Mac OSX Install DVD it only says about 700 GB (I mentioned 698.6 GB).
    Strange..
    It might also be important to mention that I recently (2 days ago) I installed a new HD: Western Digital Scorpio Black 750 GB, and today I swapped my 2x 2GB RAM for 2x 4GB RAM (Samsung).
    On my previous HD, the Fujitsu 250GB, this proces was no problem at all. I installed W7 on that drive just a week ago.
    I made a clone of the Fujitsu HD and "back-upped" it to my new WD HD. The W7 partition on the Fujitsu HD was 50GB, which is the difference in capacity mentioned above. I'm not sure if there's a link here..
    I've got a MacBook Pro from mid 2009.
    I'm not sure what to do next... I'm stuck!
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Good thing to mention that, I forgot to do that.
    Unfortunately it did not help.. The screen to remove the existing Boot Camp partition does not pop up, it just tries to create the new Boot Camp partition.
    The partition I'm trying to create it 150GB. The 50GB mentioned above was on the stock Fujitsu 250GB disk.
    Edit:
    I'm actually trying to avoid using Boot Camp Assistant.. I became to dislike the utility due to problems creating a partition on my previous HD.
    I would like to create a partition using Disk Utility and then install Windows 7 by selecting that DVD to boot from.
    Thank you for the tip though, I'll post it there as well!

  • Making new partitions after installing Ubuntu 11.1

    Hi everyone
    First of all, sorry for my bad english, i'll do my best to explain my problem.
    I have a 2010 13" Macbook Pro (7,1), with OsX Snow Leopard running on it.
    Recently, I decided to install Ubuntu (11.1 version), by partitioning the main Macintosh HD using Disk Utility as usual, with 3 new partitions: a swap partition, a "storage" partition ad a partition dedicated to the OS.
    After the installation, everything was going well: with refit at the start i can choose if booting with OS-X or Ubuntu and it works with no problems.
    Yesterday I saw a tutorial on youtube where I saw a Macbook user explaining how to install three operative systems, using ReFit at the start like me.
    So, today I decided to give it a try, but Disk Utility doesn't allow me to modify the macintosh HD partition again. I can set a new partition, deciding the dimension and the file system format, but clicking on "apply" to make the changes I get this error:
    "Mediakit mediakit reports no such partition".
    Does anyone knows a fix for this one?
    Sorry if there was already a topic about a similar problem, I didn't noticed it.

    Try Andrei Cerbu's post here or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.

  • Macintosh HD boot drive doesn't show up as Startup Disk (but boots fine)?!?

    Hi,
    My main internal bootable disk (Macintosh HD) does not show up in Systems Preferences > Startup Disk. If I want to boot from it, I have to either hold down the "Option" key at startup (and the disk appears fine, so I select it), or I have to wait for the machine to explore all other boot options before it finally resorts to booting from the internal Macintosh HD.
    I cannot simply select "Macintosh HD" from the Startup Disk preference pane.
    I have already tried repairing permissions, and I did a "Verify" in Disk Utility - everything checks out fine.
    I even replaced the StartupDisk.prefpane file from another disk, but no improvement.
    How can I get my hard drive to show up in the "Startup Disk" preferences?
    (I should mention that this is a new hard drive that I just installed by cloning it from another bootable drive). The other bootable drive shows up fine in the Startup Disk prefs.
    Help would be greatly appreciated!

    The Partition Map Scheme is currently set to "Master Boot Record."
    What does this mean?
    That's normally used for Windows.
    Do I need to change it to GUID?
    Yes.
    How do I do that?
    You have to re-partition the drive, which means it will erase everything on the drive.
    Boot from the Leopard install DVD (hold "C" while booting), choose you language, then select Disk Utility from the "Utilities" menu. Select the drive (at the left, not the volume indented below it), and click the "Partition" tab. Set "Volume Scheme" to "1 Partition", then click the "Options" button. Select "GUID Partition Table", then click "OK". Enter a volume name, set "Format" to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled" and click "Apply".
