Partition corrupted after Bootcamp Installation aborted

Hello, I started a Bootcamp installation on my OSX Lion Mac Pro. Once I realized that I could only use Windows 7, I had to hold off on the installation until I located my Windows 7 disk. I had set the Bootcamp partition size to 100 GB on a 500 GB Drive. Due to threatning weather, I shutdown the computer.
Now the OSX Lion does not boot! I have been reading much information on this topic to see about fixing the problem. I talked to Apple Support and so far it is still not working. I was able to boot using the recovery partition "Disk Utility -> First Aid -> Repair Disk". When I ran Repair Disk there were some errors reported and repaired, then OSX still not booting. I installed Lion on another drive using recovery and that works OK. I was hoping to install Lion on the original drive and still not disturb my data files like music, photos, etc. The volume with my data is greyed out and does not mount. I think the partition is corrupted.
Can someone please help me to repair this issue?
Thanks,
David

  • OS X partition corrupted after bootcamp use

    Starting with OS 10.10 and Windows 8.1, whenever I use Windows 8.1 for a variable amount of time, the OS X partition becomes corrupted.  Sometimes it is okay, but more often then not, when I leave bootcamp and boot back to OS X, the OS X partition won't boot.  Using Disk Utility (via Cmd-R) shows that the OS X partition is damaged and cannot be repaired.  I then have to format the partition and restore from a Time Machine backup.
    The system is a MacBook Pro 10,1 (Retina Mid 2012).  There are no bizarre NTFS utilities installed, only a stock Windows 8.1 OS and OS X 10.10.2.  There are a handful of apps installed under Windows - AutoCAD, etc., but again, no file
    Any suggestions?

  • 'Recovery' partition disappeared after BootCamp installation

    Since i've installed Windows on BootCamp, Lion's 'Recovery' partition containing a recovery system just disappeared.
    Is there a way of getting it back? It isn't really important, but i was just wondering if it could be reinstalled.

  • How Do I Add Partitions After Bootcamp Installation?

    I want to have Windows 7 on my late 2013 Macbook Pro 13 to run applications not available on OSX.  I need a small separate partition to store files for one of the applications that runs under Windows.  On my older PC Windows machine I have C:\ that contains 98% of the data and a separate partition that acts as a separate drive (M:\) to store library files.  This is a local copy of a server that I carry on my MBP, and doing this as I've done keeps the configuration files (that point to the server M:\) on my MBP consistent with desktop machines that actually point to a network shared drive (M:\).  I just sync my small partition with the server every so often to keep my MBP functioning when I'm disconnected from the server.  Now the problem.  I can install Windows via bootcamp and that creates a C:\ (Windows partition) and gets Windows up and running.  I have already learned the hard way about adjusting the partitions after bootcamp installation (I've rebuilt my Mac about 3 times ).  I have been able to create the correct number of partitions by running the bootcamp assistant, creating the bootcamp partition, rebooting and <option> booting back to OSX, before installing Windows to add this 10GB partition (as FAT32) for my "M drive".  Now after creating the "M drive" partition, I booted back into the Windows install disk (which has issues with USB drivers not functioning which I got past) and now I find out Windows will not install because it can't format the bootcamp partition since it will be a 5th primary partition and Windows 7 only supports 4 primary partitions on a drive.  Is there a better way (without virtual OSs)?

    Not possible. Boot Camp only works for two partitions - the OS X one and the Windows one. That's it. If you attempt to put a third partition on the drive, then Boot Camp is no longer able to manage the drive and you will lose the required boot loader for Windows. Getting things back to normal will then require repartitioning the drive back to one volume and reinstalling OS X from scratch.

  • Boot Camp partition corrupted after OS X Yosemite Recovery Update

    As the written in the title, after installing the Recovery update i can no longer boot to Windows, the drive doesn't appear on either StartUp disk or on boot when holding the option key. Is there anyway to recover it? don't have a backup of it so my options are either fix it if possible or start from scratch.

  • USB ports not working in Windows-7 on MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 after Bootcamp installation

    1) INSTALLATION
    Using Bootcamp (v. 5.1.1, OS X Mavericks) in combination with an original Microsoft installation DVD disc using an external optical CD/DVD drive. Note, the installation is NOT from an ISO image. In the Bootcamp setup window only the lower two of the three setup options are clicked, namely a) to download Windows-7 drivers to a USB stick, and b) to partition the harddrive and then to install Windows.
    2) PROBLEM
    After the initial Windows-7 installation no devices attached to the USB ports can be found under Windows-7. The ports are dead. Also the WLAN did not work, so no internet connection was possible.
    3) CAUSE
    The problem is caused when you use a USB 3.0 stick as destination for the Bootcamp driver downloads. It seems that Windows-7 cannot recognize the USB 3.0 stick properly during the Bootcamp/Windows installation process, thus failing to do perform a proper installation of the Windows-7 drivers.
    4) SOLUTION
    Use a USB 2.0 stick and everything will work perfectly.
    Follow these steps in order:
    1) Connect your external DVD drive to a USB port and insert the Windows installation disc
    2) Start the Bootcamp utility
    3) In Bootcamp, remove the failed Windows-7 installation and partition
    4) In Bootcamp, redo the entire Bootcamp process, but this time using a USB 2.0 stick
    5) Follow all further steps in Bootcamp and later in the Windows-7 installation process
    6) At the end of the installation procedures you will be asked to confirm the installation of all Bootcamp/Windows drivers.
    7) Bootcamp installs all the drivers and your Windows-7 installation will work perfectly.

    Ok, where is this Intel driver? There is no such thing "program manager" so I am guessing you mean the Programs and features control panel, but on my machine that whole window is blank after a clean install. I still cannot get the USB ports to activate. Two fresh installs and several different USB sticks later and no luck.  Should I just give up and go to Windows 8.1?  I really need Windows 7 to work if at all possible. Other devices shows one USB controller without driver software so I suppose that's the culprit. There are other USB devices installed under the USB section of Device Manager, but they apparently have nothing to do with the USB ports themselves, just devices like the trackpad etc.  I've spent two hours on this so far and it's getting out of control.  Why doesn't this work with generic USB drivers?

  • Serious heating after Bootcamp installation

    Hi,
    After I installed Windows using BootCamp, my MBP is getting too heated even when running on Mac. I had the similar issue before on my another MBP laptop. But I could not get it that time that after Windows installation my Mac got corrupted.
    Now most of my application is taking too much time to load, and also the CPU and enclosure temperature is unbelievable. Please help me.

    Fact #1 All Apex forms are stored in a database.
    Fact #2 Apex connects as user ANONYMOUS
    Fact #3 Apex is essentially a development environment, though the development part can be switched off
    Question #1: Did you realize you were installing a development product in a production environment? If so, as your production environment doesn't seem to be able to cope with the load, why did you install it
    Fact #4: 'Virtual circuit waits' signify the use of shared server. Do you use the mod_plsql installation of Apex or did you install the Apex listener? Or is the TCP protocol configured for shared server (Mod_plsql uses XDB which runs on shared server)
    My suggestion would be either of two choices
    1 redirect this question to the Apex forum
    2 de-install Apex from your production environment
    Personally I would choose option 2.

  • Windows 7 does not boot after bootcamp installation

    Hey!
    I installed windows 7 x64 on my MBP 15" retina with bootcamp, and the installation went fine but after the installation when it said " prepairing your desktop" it just restarted and went into boot loop, so I had to boot into mac OSX and make it primary boot. This have happend 3 times, and I've recreated the ISO image on the USB and I've deleted windows 7 and the partition and I have done the whole process over again (3 times) and it still does not work. Sometimes I get into windows 7 the first time and can move around the desktop with the mouse for about 5 seconds, then it says "logging out" and I'm back at the same problem.
    What can I do?
    Best regards,
    Jack Hellberg.

    Hi Jack.........ok ive managed to create a link to that video on how to install bootcamp.....this is the tutorial i used and i managed to gain 100% completion on bootcamp 1st time no messing......like i said in my previous reply did you save the windows support files from apple....(Critical).....ok no point in messing about i suggest you start again from scratch........these are the things i used and YOU will need to complete bootcamp
    mem stick or cd-r / dvd-r......original copy disc of win 7 ...i never used an iso i used original disc....allow a minimum of 30gb of space for your win 7 partition.....if you want bootcamp so you can use big programs like windows based games i.e.....Crysis/Call of duty etc etc ..then you will need to consider that  you will need to allow a bigger partition to allow your HD to store the files.....this is the reason i installed bootcamp and so i made my partition    i have a 750GB HD so i made a partition of 300gb for windows 7 and left the other 450gb for Mac....so you need to partition enough for what you want bootcamp for remember once you get bootcamp working you will need to install ALL Important Windows updates Including Win 7 SP1......once everything is installed you will have bootcamp up and running lovely.....u can then boot up with either win7 or mac......click this link and watch carefully and do exactly as shown ok and you should be fine...if you have any probs contact me again ok.....let me know how you get on ok..:)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=QFIWtXTl4d0&NR=1

  • OSX Lion won't boot after Bootcamp installation interrupted

    Hello, I started a Bootcamp installation on my OSX Lion Mac Pro. Once I realized that I could only use Windows 7, I had to hold off on the installation until I located my Windows 7 disk. I had set the Bootcamp partition size to 100 GB on a 500 GB Drive. Due to threatning weather, I shutdown the computer.
    Now the OSX Lion does not boot! I have been reading much information on this topic to see about fixing the problem. I talked to Apple Support and so far it is still not working. I was able to boot using the recovery partition "Disk Utility -> First Aid -> Repair Disk". When I ran Repair Disk there were some errors reported and repaired, then OSX still not booting. I installed Lion on another drive using recovery and that works OK. I was hoping to install Lion on the original drive and still not disturb my data files like music, photos, etc. That volume with OSX is greyed out and does not mount. I am thinking that the GPT had been modified and since Windows was not installed on Bootcamp, there is no way to boot on the original drive /dev/disk2. I read about a backup GPT, so I am wondering if I can use the backup GPT to fix the boot problem.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    David

    Thanks for the fast reply. Ill try this again. Did this the first time, but wouldn't boot again. I've since done a,fresh install of Lion, and it created the proper recovery partition. I didn't have this before, because I cloned my old drive, when I upgraded to an SSD drive. Didn't know about the recover partition. Ill try again, and see if I can get it to work.
    Just need to figure out the driver situation, with my Nvidia Quadro Mac video. Not worth trying again, if I have to use default generic video drivers.

  • Windows partition missing after Yosemite installation

    I installed Yosemite and now the Windows bootcamp partition is gone.  This is  a problem since I do most of my work there...  For reference MacFUSE was installed on my computer prior to Yosemite installation (not sure if it matters)  Anyway, after looking at various posts here, I ran the following commands and found the following (none of which solved my problems) below.
    I am stuck at looking for R.NTFS in the hexdump - just not seeing it.
    Where should I go from here?  Is there any hope?

    I installed Yosemite and now the Windows bootcamp partition is gone.  This is  a problem since I do most of my work there...  For reference MacFUSE was installed on my computer prior to Yosemite installation (not sure if it matters)  Anyway, after looking at various posts here, I ran the following commands and found the following (none of which solved my problems) below.
    I am stuck at looking for R.NTFS in the hexdump - just not seeing it.
    Where should I go from here?  Is there any hope?

  • Mac OS slow performance after bootcamp installation

    So, I've been searching around here and on other forums, but I haven't found a solution yet to this problem and wanted to see if others knew of it. The problem is that the performance on Mac OS seems to have degraded when I have bootcamp (with WIndows 7, 64bit) installed. I've gone through uninstalling and reinstalling bootcamp a couple of times now and the result always seems to be the same, Mac OS is much slower... although I should note that the Windows side of things seem unaffected, and I'd say that (gasp) WIndows is running more smoothly that the Mac OS on m machine. Pretty **** annoying.
    Some symptoms:
    - Slow boot time AFTER I log in. The loading of the desktop and apps seems to take forever, when prior to bootcamp they'd all pop-up in maybe 10 seconds max. Note: this is not the general boot-time from OFF to the login screen... that's fine.
    - Loading applications (safari, terminal, etc) all seem to take forever to load. For instance, safari may take 30-60 seconds to load and show my home page. Before bootcamp, this would take a few seconds.
    - Once in Safari, the load time from page to page seems slow and jerky. Say I load engadget.com, or something equally image/content heavy, it seems like the whole page has to load before I can even start to scroll. Even then, scroll seems 'jerky' and not so smooth. Again, before bootcamp, this wasn't a problem.
    I've gone through a bunch of stuff to try and fix this, but nothing so far has helped. Here's what I've done so far:
    - repaired permissions
    - used disk utility to verify/repair any problems (it didn't find any problems, btw)
    - reset PRAM
    - rebuilt spotlight index
    - disabled spotlight indexing of the BOOTCAMP by placing a file called '.metadataneverindex' in the root directory on that partition. This interestingly helped speed up the the post-login boot-time, but application loading and browser performance is still pretty bad.
    Anyone else have these issues and figured out what's going on? An IT guy at my job told me to stay away from bootcamp 'because 'it'll slow down your machine', so I don't think this is an isolated occurrence.
    From what I've read all over the place, I shouldn't be taking a performance hit on the Mac OS side of things for installing bootcamp. Any thoughts tips you could provide would be helpful.
    *I might use Parallels or some other VM down the line, but I don't want to run Windows 7 solely in a VM. Yes, I HAVE tried installing Parallels with Windows 7 and it didn't slow anything down, but due to the nature of my work, I want to be able to boot to Windows directly without having any overhead. (this is small percentage of what I'd be doing with the Mac, but enough that I wanna get this bootcamp install working)

    Sorry, Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 Ghz... pretty much a stock 13" new MBP. I'm running bootcamp 3.0.2.
    I should also note that I was having this issue last week and decided to reinstall everything and start from scratch just to see if that helped. It's a new-ish Mac, so clearing everything out wasn't that big of a deal... other than taking the time to do it. I didn't use a time machine backup as I wanted to reset everything.
    So, I think I've figured this out after fiddling with the user accounts per your suggestion. I had set up my Mac so that my general-use account was 'standard' with a separate admin account for installing stuff.(more secure) This was different from what I had setup last week where I had one account that was setup as the admin. (less secure)
    I added a new user, 'test' as a standard account. I restarted into 'test' and still had an issue. I quick-switched over to my admin account for something and immediately noticed that everything speed up. Hmmm...
    I changed my regular account back to admin and that restored the performance on my mac to its pre-bootcamp state. (happy!) I'll need to play around with this more, but it seems that the two things I did to fix this were:
    1) Add the file to the bootcamp partition to exclude it from spotlight
    2) Login as an admin account
    I haven't had a chance to see if setting my account back to a standard account will in fact cause the performance to drop. I also then need to test with removing that file from BOOTCAMP to exclude it from spotlight. Right now, I think I have more correlation than causation, but at least it IS working well again.
    I'll update later today. Hopefully I'm not going to have to leave my main account as the admin.
    *ALSO, I tested out configuring Mac OSX to immediately unmount the bootcamp partition at login, and that did help with performance, but kind of made using Parallels a PITA as I had to then go and manually mount that partition when I wanted to get into Windows through parallels. It worked, but it was a janky work-around. I have since dropped that configuration and now just let BOOTCAMP mount.

  • Recovery Partition Destroyed After Bootcamping

    Hi guys, I'm hoping someone can help me with this conundrum.  I installed win. 7 on my macbook air running OS X Mavericks through bootcamp and it worked great.  However, I noticed that anytime I tried to start the recovery partition, it would instead use internet recovery.  Why is this?

    What are you doing, exactly, when trying to boot from the Recovery HD?
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the arrow button below the icon.

  • Partitions lost after ghost installation

    Hi Everybody !
    My friend has  problem with his iMac. He wanted to install windows 7 on a separate partition.
    So, he created a second partition, and he use GHOST system to install windows 7 on the partition he created earlier.
    When windows installation was done, he realized that the windows delete all his OS X partitions.
    He doesn't have his os x partition and his recovery partition anymore.
    Is there a way to get his partition back ??
    Or if not, is there a way to retrieve his data from his deleted partition ?
    I thought he could use an external disk to install os x, to gain access to his disk which have deleted partition and then retrieve his data with a software ?
    Does anyone knows a solution for this problem ??
    Thank You

    He should have used Boot Camp Assistant to correctly partition his system for MS Windows. If he did then I'd suggest moving this thread to the Boot Camp forums. If he did not use Boot Camp Assistant then I'm afraid I cannot be of further assistance.

  • Partition Corruption after Update Install

    The last two times I've attempted to run an Apple software upgrade installation I've ended up with my Hard disk partition getting hosed and having to repartition (and OS reinstall). Has anyone else have this problem?
    BTY: In both cases the software upgrade failed to run successfully, the last time it failed in the OS 10.4.9 upgrade.

    Thanks Hal.
    I thought I could delete, but wasn't confident. 
    I have deleted them and no problems :-)

  • IPhone 4 corrupt after half installation of iOS6

    Hi all and thank you for your help. (I'm writing on behalf of my Dad.)
    I am not sure what the sequence of events are, but here follows what has happened.
    I think he noticed the available update and chose to update. During the installation something must have gone totally wrong. The result is that we are sitting with an iPhone that does not do anything at all. I cannot even switch it off. (There is no slider.) I just hold in the power button for a couple of seconds and that takes care of switching it off. I managed to put in into restore mode though. Unfortunately I don't have any luck with restoring the phone. I get Error 21. I have done every little thing to make sure I follow all suggestions to the iota to make sure that nothing can prevent a successful restore. I have even uninstalled my anti-virus software and re-booted a couple of times.
    Symptomes at the moment are that while being plugged in, untethered, the Apple logo appears and then goes away after a couple of seconds and then re-appears after a couple of seconds. I have really tried everything I could find on Error 21. When connected to iTunes in restore mode, the cable to iTunes does show.
    Is there a way I can "format" this phone or do something to get it up and running again?
    I will appreciate all the help[ I can get. Thank you.
    Deon

    Take a look at this Apple doc -> iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 37
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Try placing the iPhone into recovery mode, then uninstalling the security software on your computer, and then trying to restore the iPhone again. You can reinstall the security software and make sure it's working with iTunes after getting your iPhone sorted.
