Removed Boot Camp, but Disk Size was not resized.
I removed my Windows Partition, but during the middle of the removal, I switched off my mac with the power button in panic, because everything froze.
When I restarted, however, the Boot Camp disk has been removed, but my Mac Disk was not returned to its 400GB original size...
Is there any solution to recover the size?
I used the /sbin/ fsck - fy but it did not help.
Thanks.
Oops, my bad!

How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.
Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though. -
I have Mac mini and there is partition of boot camp but some miss understanding the osx 10.8.2 is deleted and while I m going to recovery mode the portition can not removing and the also cant repaired what I do I need urgent help ???? Please ?????
Do you have a Time Machine backup or clone? If not,
all is lost if you have in fact deleted your OSX partition
and you will have to do a reinstall from Recovery HD
and install all else. -
I was installing windows 7 on my imac but the installation was not completed and now I cannot boot what shall I do?
Provided you used BootCamp to do the installation, with your machine off, press and hold down the "Option" key while turning it on. Hold the key down until you get the screen where you can select which OS to boot into. Select OS X (you'll need to physically click the button here... tapping won't work if you have it enabled). Once in OS X, go into System Preferences and Startup Disk. This is where you set the default OS to boot into. Change it to OS X. Relaunch BootCamp Assistant to remove the failed installation of Windows. You can try again if you wish.

I am trying to install Boot Camp but it says I haven't got enough free space on my start up disk - that I need at least 10GB free space - however in disk utility it says I have 27GB free!
if your SSD is only 60 GBs, then you don't have space on which to install Windows. That 27 GBs is space you need to have for adding files you create, music you download, added applications, pictures, etc. You need to maintain at least 10 GBs as free space for OS X, plus you need space for files OS X will create and add to over time.
Your 60 GB SSD is just a minimum usable size for OS X. There isn't sufficient space to also support Windows which requires close to 25 GBs of the 27 GBs you still have free. Sorry, but that just doesn't really work well. -
I have deleted windows7 in the boot camp but the partition macintosh hd2 is still there...if i try to install windows7 again,it is not showing the boot camp partioned space...
Update: I did an extended hardware test (just in case a hardware issue was causing my problem)--no problems found. I then went through the Aperture troubleshooting steps: I tried repairing permissions first, but I still could not see any of the images that were in the Aperture trash. I then repaired the library. This seems to have fixed things (at least upon initial assessment). Afterward, I was able to see the images that were in the trash. I opened the Activity Window to see what it said when I tried emptying the trash again. This time it said it was deleting exactly the number of images that I expected it to delete (not twice as many this time!), and it emptied lickety split--as I had expected it to do the first time! So, hopefully, all is now well with my system and library. Still wondering why it was telling me it was deleting twice as many images as were in the trash the last time I tried, but overall, much happier today!

i bought windows 7 download online and started setting up boot camp but it says to insert the windows 7 disk so how do i do this?
plz help meHi Jaimie,
To install Windows via Boot Camp you will need to have a copy of Windows on a physical dvd disc.
If your purchase provides you with an ".ISO" file then you can simply burn this to a DVD and then follow the standard Boot Camp installation instructions.
Boot Camp instructions: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
If you get stuck, just let me know the website you purchased Windows 7 from and I might be able to help you out.
Cheers -

If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you have an earlier model:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. -
Boot Camp Hangs, Disk Utility is very slow and gives an error.
Hello,
I would like to install Windows for some games.
But my problem is that when I try to make the boot camp partition it just freezes/hangs 50% in. I have repaired my Disk and it says it is OK.
Got a tip that I could resize my current partition to a smaller size then, make it bigger. This would help bootcamp, but it did not it just hangs around 50% again... I let it say over night, and when I woke up I got a error saying something like
"partition failed at checking archives".
Now I am lost, and do not know what the next step is, this is very annoying and not as easy as I imagned.
Hope you can guide me.I assume this was the "slow boat to China" syndrome using TimeMachine over USB.
Sorry 'bout that, #1 before beginnng partitioning and the rest was "backup before beginning with Boot Camp Assistant"
Disk Utilty RESTORE is a clone style backup (or there are other programs but not on OS X DVD so you need to boot from something), and of course a different interface (eSATA wold be nice, so would TB or FW800) which should have cut it down to less than a day to backup.
60GB per hour and 500GB? -
Removing Boot Camp Components from Windows 7
Hi. I just got an Apple Keyboard with Numberpad. To make it fully work on my PC with Windows 7, I had to install Boot camp (I used my copy of OS X Snow Leopard). Once boot camp was installed, the media keys and volume keys started working perfectly as they would on a Mac, and the volume HUD also started displaying when I change the volume (looks good). But Boot camp also installed a bunch of other stuff, including drivers that I do not need, like iSight driver, bliuetooth, etc. It also replaced some of my own drivers, but that's not an issue yet. The question is, how can I remove boot camp assistant and its components that are useless to me? What to remove, and what not to remove? I just want full functionality of the keyboard, as I have it right now...
Thanks in advance.Try restore to earlier would undo everything.
I'd go ahead and uninstall Boot Camp for sure.
Then Device Manager
You don't want Apple serivces and startup items - though Apple TimeServices checks the clock on every boot up.
MSCONFIG to disable any startupitem and services being loaded. But there should / might be one for keyboard.
From your OS X DVD, copy the contents to a folder on Windows and then look for kbmgr and move (copy and paste) to a new folder. You don't need any of the other things for motherboard, network, etc that you can rollback or uninstall in Device Manager.
Pick up Paragon Hard Drive Manager 2011 for an easy disk to disk OS clone for backup - you can boot from either hard drive w/o problem, just change the cable or the BIOS boot device.
Hard Disk Manager Suite 2011
I'm surprised that if Apple sells their keybaord for PCs that they don't include just a device driver, or that Windows didn't pick up on what to install automatically. -
I was using Boot Camp beta on my old hard drive but around Christmas the hard drive died. When I brought it to get repaired they gave me a new hard drive and a free upgrade to Leopard (I had previously been running 10.4) for "pain and suffering" I did not however get an installation disk for Leopard. I am trying to partition my new drive with Boot Camp however because I do not have a leopard installation disk I apparently cannot install the drivers for Windows. Is there anywhere that I can burn a disk for this purpose like in the Boot Camp beta?
Try contacting Apple Care, but don't mention your attempt to install windows. Just go the route that you were upgraded to 10.5, and you would like to have the install media "just in case" you need to reinstall mac os x. They should be accommodating...

I erased my windows partition using disk utility then realized I should have used boot camp, because now I can't resize the original partition and seem to be stuck with a ghost unusable space. Boot Camp now doesn't give me the option to install or remove windows partition.
Hi, Ralph,
The problem is that I did erase the partition, using disk utility, but I can't go back to my original disk size pre-partition, as disk utility won't let me do it and gives the message "Couldn’t modify partition map because file system verification failed." When I try to use Boot Camp Assistant it won't let me select the third option to remove windows. -
Tables are deleted but database size does not change in sql server 2008r2
Hi All,
20GB Tables are deleted in my database but database size does not change and disk size showing same size.Hi ,
I have ran the Disk usage by Top Tables report and Identified couple of tables with unwanted data for last 5 years. I have deleted the data for the first 3 years and then ran the Disk usage by Top Tables report again. When I compared the report before
and after the data deletion, I have noticed certain facts which is not matching with what I know or learned from experts like you. The following are the points where I am looking for clarification:
1.Reserved (KB) has been reduced. I was expecting the data Reserved (KB) will remain the same after the data deletion.
2. The Data(KB) and Indexes(KB) fields have been reduced as expected. The Unused(KB) field have been increased as expected.
I was expecting the total of Data(KB) and Indexes(KB) field space gained will be equal to the Unused(KB) field gained after deleting the data. But that is not the case. When I deducted(subtracted) the difference in the Reserved(KB)(Difference before
and after data deletion) field from the Total of space gained from the data deletion is equal to the Unused(KB) gained field value.
I am not a SQL expert and not questioning but trying to understand whether we really gain space by deleting data from the tables. Also keen to get the concepts right, but my testing by deleting some records confused me.
Looking ahead to all your expert advice.
Thanks,

I tried installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp, but it didn't work.
Although it didn't work, the memory is still divided. So I looked for Boot Camp in aplications, but it literally vanished...
So I tried downloading it again, but I only found EXE files... they don't work on my MacBook Pro...
It's very new... Bought it recently...
Please... I need help to unparticion memory back to original Mac HD and install Boot Camp...
Thanks...Below is the paragraph from the instructions. Follow it exactly and then report what happens at each stage.
How you remove Windows from your computer depends on whether you installed
Windows on a second disk partition or on a single-volume disk.
If you installed Windows on a second disk partition: Using Boot Camp Assistant as
described below, remove Windows by deleting the Windows partition and restoring
the disk to a single-partition Mac OS X volume.
If your computer has multiple disks and you installed Windows on a disk that has only one
partition: Start up in Mac OS X and use Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder, to reformat it
as a Mac OS X volume.
To delete Windows and the Windows partition:
1 Start up in Mac OS X.
2 Quit all open applications and log out any other users on your computer.
3 Open Boot Camp Assistant.
4 Select “Remove Windows 7,” and then click Continue.
5 Do one of the following:
a If your computer has a single internal disk, click Restore.
b If your computer has multiple internal disks, select the disk with Windows on it,
and then select “Restore to a single Mac OS partition” and click Continue. -
How do I remove Boot Camp and go back to a single partition?
I originally used boot camp but recently installed Parallell. I didn't realize all my windows info was still in a separate drive. I am now just using Parallells but the boot camp is still out there. How can I remove those items and go back to the one partition
ThanksHi,
if your specs are uptodate and you are using OSX 10.4 Tiger, use these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1309?viewlocale=en_US
