OSX partition unbootable after partition resize

I've made a big mistake and would really appreciate any help in solving this one.
I have Boot Camp set up and I tried resizing my OSX partition with Disk Utility to create a 3rd partition that could be shared between Windows and OSX.
This resulted in the Windows partition being inaccessible.
I then found a set of steps on this forum that has resulted in the opposite, I can boot Windows but not OSX.
I've taken some screenshots from TestDisk, if someone could take a look and give a hint I'd be very grateful.
The 1st shows the whole SSD
The 2nd shows an error on this SSD
The 3rd shows the next screen.
If you need any other evidence to diagnose please let me know.

There may be, but from what you said and done it does not appear that the OS X volume is accessible and that the volume's directory is most likely gone. I suppose you might use recovery software or remove the drive and put it in an external enclosure, connect it to the computer and see if a directory is present to access the files. I'm just not sure at this point what options you would have that are non-destructive in the sense that your data are completely recoverable.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
To fix the partitions you would need to use diskutil. You would need to know the true beginning sector count and the last sector count, but I am not sure if that alone will do the trick. I'm familiar with the concept of doing this, but have never tried it myself. I'm quite reticent to tell you what to do when I don't know how it's done myself.

  • Boot Camp "No Bootable Device" after OSX Partition Resize

    I have a MacBook Mid/Late 2007. I started out with a 500GB drive that I partitioned 100GB for Windows 8 in Boot Camp (yes, I know only 7 is officially supported, not the point as it worked fine.) I wanted to try Mavericks so I resized my OSX partition down 100GB to make a new 100GB Mavericks partition. After I installed it and played around, I noticed when I booted with the option key, my Boot Camp partition was missing. I thought i was becaus eI had too many partitions, so I deleted Mavericks and resized my main OSX back to where it was when I started. The Boot Camp partition still won't show up when I hold option on boot, but when I run Boot Camp manager on OSX it wants to remove it, so it knows it's there. It also shows up in the startup disks pane, but if I select it and reboot, I get a "No Bootable Device -- insert boot disk and press any key" message. If there a way to bring back Windows?
    Here's the kicker: My optical drive DOES NOT work. I installed Windows 7 off DVD long ago before it quit working and the only way I got Windows 8 on was through a downloaded upgrade. I know I should get it fixed, but I don't have the money (and I never use it, and this is 2 that have died on me in this laptop.) My system can't boot anything other than OSX off flash drives or external DVD drives (I tried, and I tried reEFIt, neither worked.) So I need a solution that doens't require a boot CD if at all possible.

    I can get to  and boot OSX (it's what I'm using now as this is my only laptop), I just can't boot Windows. All my files show up fine on both partitions.
    You can't add/remove or alter the partitions if Boot Camp is installed, Windows will cease to boot.
    To fix it, erase all paritions except OSX. Start over, 2 partitions only (OSX and Boot Camp)

  • Bootcamp Windows 7 Disappeared after partition resize

    Hello guys,
    I have a Mid 2013 Macbook Pro 15 and just recently I installed windows 7 using Bootcamp. After a few days I decided to resize my Windows partition.
    So, I used Disk Utility to shrink my OSX partition. Then I restarted my laptop in Windows 7 and used a third-party software to add the available space that I just created to my Windows partition. After finishing the operation and restarting my computer in Windows everything was fine. (The disk has been resized and no files were missing whatsoever). Few hours later I wanted to use my OSX, so I restarted my laptop in OSX again and BOOM. Bootcamp disappeared. When I was opening "Startup Disk" nothing was there, like it has been completely removed.
    I've done a little research but I couldn't get any results with terminal commands and stuff like that.
    So what I did is this,
    I restarted my computed holding the options "alt" key and got into the Startup Manager.
    There were 3 Drives
    1. Macintosh HD
    2. Recovery 10.8
    3. Windows
    I clicked windows and successfully managed to get into my Windows 7. No files were missing everything was working perfectly.
    After restarting to OSX again still everything was missing!
    So the problem seems to be that Windows are still there and working properly but BOOTCAMP and Windows have disappeared and going in Startup Manager is the only way to access them.
    I hope I helped someone with the same problem.
    Any ideas or solutions are welcome.

  • IMac won't boot OsX Partition after Bootcamp install/uninstall.

    Hello,
    I have bought 2 late 2012 21.5 iMacs last year and have used both the same way. Here is what happened with one of them recently.
    Fisrt af all I've installed bootcamp 1 year ago in both iMacs without issues and was ok so far, and was using exclusively Windows 7 partition. The trouble iMac started with some startup issues during boot/reboot (screen was frozen with green/grey horizontal lines), but worked fine after following manual start up.
    Lately I've been trying to boot from OsX partition and it freezes in the apple logo every time.
    I have already done the SMC / PRAM procedures, without success.
    I have tried to download and do a fresh OsX install (Mountain Lion, Mavericks and Yosemite). Can't boot from Mavericks / Yosemite flash drive install (both freeze at apple logo - horizontal lines), and only had partial success with one Mountain Lion 10.8.5 flash drive install that booted all right and the first part of the installation process was ok, but after the initial reboot, it happened to freeze the same way before.
    The iMac failed to boot in safe mode (stops booting at 25% and then freezes on apple logo), and show no issues with AHT tests.
    I can boot in single user mode, but it reboots after a few seconds. I noticed some errors messages during this boot.
    It fails to boot in verbose mode, showing a few lines of errors (images attached), and then freezes in a green horizontal line screen.
    I can still boot from Bootcamp flash drive and Ubuntu Flash drive, and install both OS. The only issue is with OsX itself. I have used Gparted in Ubuntu to Format the hole partition to HFS+, and can't find any errors in hard drive tests.
    I thought about buying a thunderbolt cable and try to do a Clone of my other iMac, but don't know if it will work.
    Any other tests/suggestions about this issue?
    Regards,

    Fixed the problem with this setup
    Of course this means i just lost 4GB.
    Let me tell the full story.
    In the beginning, long ago, once upon a time. My iMac had 2x2GB ram sticks which were in the two DIMM1 Banks. I then told myself "I WANT MORE RAM BECAUSE LOLZ". So i bought 2x4GB ram sticks. The two empty slots were Bank 0/DIMM0 and Bank 1/DIMM 0. and I added them in there. having done that, I booted OS X up, worked great, had 12GB, everything was shiny and beautiful. Soon after I wanted to try it out on windows. I restarted my computer and BAM the blinking cursor just sits there, being stubborn and all. I then told myself "holy balls, this new ram i got is bonkers" (them words, I blame the language filter). Then after giving it a little thought, i just asked myself if it was because I had ram from two different manufacturers. I removed my old ram, which has nice Samsung stickers on them, and booted it up on windows. Still had the same problem, I then decided that maybe this is all really mentally challenged so to win I had to think like a retard. I took my new ram and inserted it in the same slots where my old ram sticks were (DIMM1 Banks), booted windows up and IT WORKED.
    I still hold all of my WHYs on this subject but I will keep messing around to see if I find a better solution than just leaving both DIMM0 banks empty

  • OSX Partion UnBootable, Win7 Partition unbootable. Ubuntu is my last fort

    I had Snow Leopard installed on my MacBook Pro 15. I wanted to try out Windows 7 and so I installed it via BootCamp. Easy as pie. Then my OSX Partition would not boot. I got an Apple logo and then a progress bar on the bottom. After the progress bar finished I got a blue screen with a spinner which flickered every now and then. It would hang like this forever. I tried repairing the partition with the OSX DVD but with no avail. I then tried setting the partition as active in Windows 7. Now the OSX partition isn't even an option in the EFI bootup process and Windows 7 said "Missing Operating System." I wiped windows 7 and put Ubuntu 10.10 on it so I have something stable for now.
    Is there any way to make my OSX Partition bootable? Especially since I'm using Linux.

  • 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.

  • After Boot Camp installation, Kernel Panic when launching OSX partition

    Hey guys. I have a mac mini (early 2009) with Mac OSX 10.6.2 running. I installed XP Professional Sp3 using the Boot Camp Assistant with no errors. It works fine. However, whenever I launch the OSX partition, even in single-user mode, it Kernel Panics. What can I do to stop this?
    I have a legal copy of XP and OSX, by the way.

    this does not sound like a problem with anything on your drive then but rather a firmware issue. just to make sure, how are you booting from the DVD? reboot and hold "c" at the chime. any luck? if not reboot and hold option at the chime. this ought to boot you into startup disk manager where you can choose what to boot from.

  • Deleted OSX partition after installing windows

    I installed windows 8 in bootcamp, everything was fine and working properly. I have now deleted the osx partition and was wondering if i ever wanted it back could i use the internet recovery to do so, as i don't have a disk or anything that came with my mbp 15" 2014?

    Hello nathanwragg96,
    The article linked below provides further information regarding OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery. In the event that the existing Recovery partition is removed or damaged, Internet Recovery can be invoked via CMD + Option + R at boot.

  • Disk Problems, OSX partition will not repair is Windows CHKDSK the culprit?

    Hi,
    I have both Snow Leopard (fully updated) and Windows 7 on Bootcamp partition on my MacBook Pro.
    Repairing Permissions on my Mac OS 10.6.4 partition had become a very regular with 'Java' permission problems always seeming to be a very regular and common one.
    Anyhow, I thought it appropriate and logical to run the WIndows 7 equivalent of disk-verify/disk-repair/permission-repair and therefore run CHKDSK at 'CMD' level and this appeared to run accordingly without problems.
    At some point/days later, my Mac OS appeared to be slow and having a lot of spinny-ball, therefore verified Macintosh HD volume-disk with Disk Utility and showed to have lots of problem. Disk Utility Repair has failed having tried it many times and not even Drive Genius 3 is able to repair or rebuild it on this occasion however I was able to run a 'Scan' on it from Drive Genius 3 and it reported thankfully that there was NO bad blocks.
    The error thats returned repeatedly when doing a repair is "Incorrect number of thread records" which is reported immediately after "Checking Catalog File"
    Not keen on the thought of having to format, re-install and then re-setup the system even from a Super-Duper backup copy that I had made previously (minus some data since).
    However, my questions are:
    1. Is it possible that the Windows 7 'CHKDSK' command may have possibly caused this despite the fact that it would have or should have only performed it's operations on the BOOTCAMP disk partition?
    2. Is it possible to reformat and restore any previously backed-up images to a single disk partition _without upsetting the other Partition and OS_ residing on it (albeit on the same overall physical disk), i.e. Restoring my Mac OS X SuperDuper backup image back onto the current Mac partition... and would the same apply if ever having to restore a Windows 7 Acronis backup image back onto the current BOOTCAMP partition.
    3. Would there be another alternative before a drastic reformat and recovery of the Mac OSX partition (if that's even possible without affecting BOOTCAMP - from question 2 above)
    Advice would be much appreciated, many thanx.

    At the time I had run the 'CHKDSK' command from within Windows, from the 'Run' command prompt located within the Start Menu.
    Fortunately I still have the previous HDD that originally came with the MacBook Pro before I upgraded the internal drive some time ago and therefore I have been able to boot externally from this and continue to do so until I've decided what to do, which looks like a recovery from the previous super-duper backup will be inevitable.
    I guess I'm unlikely to come across any software or fix that will be capable of correcting the 'faulty number of thread records' being reported after the 'Checking Catalog File' disk repair check routine, however if I find a solution then I'll post it here, otherwise an eventual recovery/install it is.
    Under Fortuny's revelation, I will procede with MacDrive with caution and probably disable it if ever running a Windows CHKDSK again (if indeed this is the underlying cause of the problem). And under your advise 'The hatter' I shall certainly look into the Windows system file checker alternative, thanks.

  • Trouble with Lion Partition Resize

    Macbook Pro Mid-09
    Lion 10.7.4
    I had 3 Partitions set up on my HD. 1 for Lion, 1 for another Work, and 1 for Bootcamp.
    I opened Disk Utility and erased my Work partition (Empty Space between Mac and Boot). Afterwards, I attempted to resize the Macintosh HD partition to its fullest extent without interrupting my bootcamp partition. I drag the corner and hit apply. The message says the partition resizing is complete however it reverts back to its original size immediately afterwards.
    I searched the forum and attempted the USB recovery utility method. I ran the verifications and the disk did not need any repairs. Once again, I attempted to resize the partition. It says its complete but once again goes back to its original size.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    yes. I deleted the middle partition (shows up gray in pic) by pressing the ( - ).

  • Can't see random files on osx partition from Windows

    Has anyone noticed that not all files on the osx partition can be viewed by Windows? I.e. in \users\shared I have a directory with about 50 files, some of them don't show up when viewed from Windows on random basis, but if you boot up into OSX they are all there.
    This used to work fine with the origonal version of snow leopard. It only started happening after I updated the OS.

    Hi edwelch,
    maybe it has its reason in 'reserved character and words' used in the filename of the files you miss.
    Some characters/words are allowed in OSX but are not-allowed (reserved) in Windows and vice versa.
    Have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename

  • Windows can't find OSX partition

    Windows, both under Boot Camp, and Parallels 6, used to be able to recognize the partition on which OSX is installed.  It stopped recognizing it and I don't know why or how to fix it.  My version of OSX is Snow Leopard; version of Windows is Vista Home Premium (32 bit).  I have been thinking of upgrading to OSX Lion.  Would that fix the problem?  I am also thinking of upgrading to Parallels 7, but doubt that it would fix the problem since Windows does not recognized OSX partition even in Boot Camp.

    I don't know if it's the same, but I removed a lot of devices in Device Manager (for example the  and they get automatically reinstalled)
    For example I uninstalled "Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth" and "Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator" under Bluetooth Radios and all devices under Human Interface Devices. To the point that no mouses or keyboards worked and I had to plug-in a wired USB mouse to go on...
    When I say that I lost the bluetooth connectivity, I mean only my BT mouse (a MS Sculpt Touch mouse I bought yesterday. My Apple Wireless Keyboard works.
    But my mouse dissapeared after reinstalling the bootcamp software and I can't for the life of me reinstall it again. It gets discovered but it gets an authentication error before pairing. Alternatively, I can right-click on the discovered mouse and check the HID BT services and when I OK it starts installing to dissapear after getting "succesfully installed drivers"

  • Problems accessing osx partition when in windows

    Hi!
    I've been running bootcamp with windows xp to play game's as smoothly as possible for some time.
    Until this day it has been working really great with MacDrive as a way to get access to the osx partition when im in windows.. But suddenly, after doing the firmware update this morning, i cant access the osx partition when in windows, actually, windows cant find the partition at all anymore.. This is a problem since all my games are on the osx partition. Could it be the firmware update that did it, or is there something wrong with the windows partition? And finally, how can i fix this?
    Im greatful for all kinds of respons, thank you!
    if it is any help, i got a macbook pro.

  • Shrink OSX partition

    I need to shrink my active OSX partition. Does anyone know how to do this?

    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
    2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. +(Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)+
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
