Repairing Boot Camp after deleting partition

Hello,
During the bootcamp installation by mistake I erased the macintosh HD partition, but before continuing the installation of windows I stopped the process.
Using a bootable live cd I saw that all the partitions are still there. I changed the boot options and managed to see the mac HD partition on the boot screen (when pressing alt).
After booting I could see all the information on mu mac and the present partitions information is like these:

I tried to re-run  Boot Camp Assist again, but it gives me the following error:
The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.
Can you help me to fix the problem?
Andre

Everything was fine... Issue started when I tried to increasec the size of my bootcamp partition (from 100gb to 200gb).
I did the following:
1. I decreased my mac hd by 100gb using disk utility
2. Then I loaded bootcamp and used the "mini partition wizard" to increase the size of the partition by 100gb (unallocated space I free on mac hd)
3. I rebooted and everything went poof!!!!!! (Just for bootcamp)
Then, since bootcamp was not staring I found the solution you posted at the beginning:
·         sudo fdisk -e /dev/disk0
p
setpid 4
07
flag 4
p
write
y
After this os x was still fine but windows was jus getting stuck at boot (black screen with blinking cursor)
Then I decided to do the following:
·         sudo fdisk -e /dev/disk0
p
setpid 1
07
flag 1
p
write
y
After this everything brok! Mac HD disapeared and windows was showing "missing os"

  • 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?

    Hi,
    @Christopher Murphy:
    Okay, you seem confident.  Let's give this a shot.  I use the command-line myself for the odd thing, so I'll try not to bail.

  • 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...

    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!

  • Can´t install windows 8.1 because boot camp can't partition the disk. I´ve follow many tips but they did´t work

    I can´t install windows 8.1 because boot camp can't partition the disk. I´ve follow many tips but they did´t work (backup, reinstall os, erase space, etc.)
    Macbook pro retina
    os x yosemite 10.10.2
    Thanks

    There are several possibilities.
    1. You do not have contiguous free disk space.
    2. BCA has failed, or you may have a Fusion drive which is causing problems.
    3. You have incorrect permissions on the disk.
    4. Can you boot in OS X Safe Mode - OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support?

  • How do I restore Windows 7 in Boot Camp after the Lion Update?

    I was hoping my Lion update would be as smooth as other users' - unfortunately, it has messed up Boot Camp. The partition is now "Lion Recovery HD". I would like to know:
    if the original Boot Camp partition has been erased - i.e. I need to do a full reinstall
    how to go about recovering my original partition (I did a backup of the partition prior to the Lion Update)
    if my Windows 7 is an upgrade disk, will I need to install Vista first?
    Thank you!

  • Boot Camp won't partition, files cannot be moved.

    I'm sure this has come up more times than anyone can count. I've searched for answers but still haven't found the solution. Boot Camp won't partition because some files cannot be moved.
    I have defragmented my computer, it is all just one partition. I have 150+ GB of free space. I am only trying to partition 5 GB for windows, honestly that is more than i will need. The error of course tells me to back up my computer and reformat it. I have not done this yet because I believe it will be a last resort and will be unlikely to actually solve my problem. I'm sure there is at least 5 GB of continuous free space on my computer that could be partitioned. I am wondering what else i can do?
    Also, if it does come down to backing my computer up, is it possible to back it up to another macbook? I don't want to waste money on an external just because Boot Camp is being picky.

    First, way too many people choose too small, and I though 10GB was the smallest for XP, and often was not enough to allow updates, patches, page, hibernation and temp space, let alone games, apps etc.
    The only defrag I can think of that works are iDefrag and Drive Genius 2. But a backup + erase + restore is the best. Otherwise, your free space may still be fragmented or have files that prevent you, as is happening.
    5GB for Windows doesn't sound like more than needed, or even enough.
    External backup drives are never a waste. Even for just Mac OS.

  • HT1899 Boot Camp was deleted... How to download and install again?

    My Boot Camp was deleted from aplications. I downloaded it again from apple.com but I dont know how to  install it since it's an .exe file... Please help me...

    Bootcamp Assistant is in your utilities folder. It is part of OSx. It is not downloaded.
    I don't know what you downloaded that is a .exe file but .exe files are Windows executable files not OSx install files.Perhaps you downloaded the Windows Support software. If so, these are the Windows drivers that are run from within Windows. Be more specific about what you downloaded.

  • Repairing Boot Camp Partition

    I just installed VMware Fusion 3. Upon my first launch of it, it came back saying my Boot Camp partition (which I had installed a year or two ago to use with Parallels) was damaged. What do I do from here to repair my Boot Camp partition?

    Run chkdsk; boot from Windows DVD...<</div>
    Sorry, in English? What's chkdsk? Once I boot from the Windows DVD, what do I do then?

  • Windows startup disk not showing up after the boot camp is done partitioning.

    OK, Boot Camp finished making a partition for windows on my SSD (I gave it 30GB), and it restarded my computer. I pressed the alt key so i could chosse the windows drive so i could begin the installation, BUT the option to open the windows drive was not there! The only otions I had was to startup from Mac OSX, Recovery Disk and a USB Flash drive Named Windows(I tried it previously but it didnt work because it didnt detect my mouse or keyboard). I the booted up from mac so i could make sure that the partition was created and it was. When i went on startup disk preferences on System Preferences the computer couldent detect a Boot Camp drive only the main Macintosh HD. What am I supposed to do?
    I am using a Macbook Pro late 2013 13"
    (excuse my English as it is not my first language)
    EDIT: I do not have NTFS 3G or a similar program installed.

    a few things
    what is your exact model mac? which windows are you trying to install?
    i'm a fan of small windows partitions, but 30gb is too small unless you're absolutely sure that you will not use any major data consuming apps like music, video or gaming. also, you will HAVE to disable hibernation and the pagefile (google). the smallest we run is 35gb with 40gb being much better
    does your mac have an internal optical drive? if so, you need to burn your windows iso onto a physical disc unless the newer 2013 macs let you usb install, which would be news to me
    use only a usb2 flash drive

  • Problems with Boot Camp and Drive Partition

    First of all, let me preface this by saying I have in the past successfully partitioned my drive and installed Windows, but it was a while back and I can remember it was frustrating, but I don't remember the exact details. Also, I apologize for the rambling nature of this problem, but I'm trying to give as much relevant information as possible and walk through the steps I took to get where I am now.
    Feel free to skip ahead to the end, the main problem seems to be I tried to create a 300 GB partition, but it didn't take or something. Now my storage is reflecting I've lost 300 GB, but it won't recognize the existence of the new partition.
    Let me just walk through what I did. I deleted my previous partition because I was having some difficulties with a few programs and the partition ended up being too small and I wanted to make a bigger one anyway. I only use it for gaming and didn't care about any of the saved games so I just deleted the partition and figured I'd start over from scratch.
    Before I begin, some technical details about the computer I'm working with. I don't know how much of this is necessary, but here it is:
    It's a 27-inch late 2012 iMac with a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor with 24GB RAM running OSX 10.9.4
    The storage space is a little more difficult as that is part of the problem I'm running into, which I'll get to in a minute.
    Anyway, I have a Windows 7 Professional install DVD and a burned CD called Boot Camp, which I think is the drivers from last time I installed Windows (a year and half ago?), but since I needed Superdrive for the install DVD I just used an XHD I had to put the drivers on (like I said, I don't remember how I did it last time). I go through Boot Camp and look at how much space I have and how big I want to make my partition.
    Side note: Last time I made my partition, I'm fairly certain I set it to 200 GB, but the partition size actually came out to something like 112 GB or something significantly less. I didn't know what happened, but figured it would still be enough space and it had been such a hassle I didn't bother doing it again.
    Supposedly I have a 1 TB HD, and I can't remember exactly what it said when I partitioned the drive this time, but it definitely said I was using less than half of my capacity and I had plenty of room, so I opted to go for a 301 GB partition (the slider wouldn't let me do exactly 300) which still left me with around 300 GB of space left over on my Mac partition I want to say. I went ahead with it and it started partitioning the drive with the blue line moving very slowly and after an hour or so it was like 80% across but no longer making progress. I looked online and people said that shouldn't happen. I cancelled the partition and the Disk Utility showed the partition, but said it was unmounted or something.
    I restarted my computer thinking maybe I'd try and see what would happen if I tried to boot it up as if I had Windows installed. I also at that moment remembered that I'd had a similar problem last time because I had my XHD plugged into my USB port so I unplugged that and held down OPT. It then showed me my Mac HD drive and a CD icon that said Windows, so I clicked on that figuring maybe I could install it after all.
    It led me through a Install manager and it got to the point where it asked what drive/partition do you want to install Windows in, I recognized the screen and remembered I was supposed to choose a certain one, but couldn't remember which one and none of the sizes seemed to match the storage I had allocated to the partition. One was about 200 GB and since the last time I did it my partition came out 100 GB smaller than I had set it for I thought maybe that was it.
    However, it said I couldn't install on that drive for some reason (I can't remember exactly what it said). So I restarted again and figured I'd go back and see what I did wrong and start over. When I check Disk Utility it no longer sees any partition (mounted or unmounted or anything) and that the entirety of my HD is dedicated to Mac HD.
    The problem is, now I'm getting weird reports about the size of my drive, the amount used, and the space available. Disk Utility tells me I have 1.12 TB capacity, 301 GB available, and 819 GB used. That doesn't even add up. Furthermore, when I click get info on Macintosh HD, it tells me I have 810 GB capacity, 364 GB available, and 446 GB used. When I click on About this Mac and go to System Report and storage I get this:
    Macintosh HD
    Available: 364 GB
    Capacity: 810 GB
    Logical Volume Group:
         Name: Macintosh HD
         Size: 1.12 TB
         Freespace: 301 GB
    Physical Volumes:
         disk0s2:
         size: 121 GB
         disk1s2:
         size: 999 GB
    Now I really don't know what to make of it. That 301 GB free space makes sense as the partition I tried to create and if I add that to the 446 GB used on my Mac partition, plus the 364 GB available, that adds up to 1.12 TB (roughly, I've rounded off these numbers).
    But how come Disk Utility doesn't recognize the partition then? What should I do from here?
    I couldn't find anyone asking this exact type of question or running into this same problem before, so I hope I'm not asking about something that's already been answered. If that's the case, if you could direct me to where I can find the answer I'd be appreciative.
    Otherwise, any help or light that can be shed would be most appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The problem seems to have gone away. I did click on repair disk in Disk Utility, I'm not sure if that did anything, but now when I run Boot Camp Assistant it is showing me the correct free space, so I don't know what happened. Oh well.
    Still having trouble getting the **** thing to partition, but that topic is covered extensively elsewhere.

  • Installing Windows 7 with boot camp as whole partition on 2nd internal hard drive

    Hi all,
    I am unsure what is the recent changes with Apple boot camp. But when I used boot camp utilitiy on my Mac Pro (Mid 2010) to install windows 7 64 bits. It would not install and created a whole lot of problems.
    After I initialise the process to install windows 7 using boot camp utilities, I chose the option to create a single partition to installl windows 7 on my secondary internal hard drive (1TB). After I restarted my Mac Pro and started the Windows 7 installation process, I was unable to install Windows 7 on the BOOTCAMP partition created by the boot camp utilitiy. I got an error something about Windows cannot be installed on the selected forum because the driver contained GPT details.
    I tried to format the BOOTCAMP partition, but it ended up with errors. I tried to delete and recreate the BOOTCAMP partition in Windows setup, but failed with errors again. As I could not go any further with the Windows 7 installation, I had to hard reset my Mac Pro and tried to reboot back into Mac OS X Lion and that's when the nightmare begin.
    Not only I could not boot into OS X, I could not use any of the startup key combinations (i.e. Hold option key to select start up disk, option + R to boot the lion recovery drive, not boot from any external firewire drive installed with OS X Lion). Basically none of the key combinations worked except for the holdingi F12 and mouse key to eject CD.
    The only thing I could boot the Mac Pro with is the windows installation CD and Linux Ubuntu Raring Distro. I can install the ubuntu distro without any issue. However, I could not boot my mac pro back into OS X as Linux does not support bootcamp. The only way I could use Mac OS X Lion again is to delete the partition OS X Lion was installed on, and then I was be able to install Windows 7 without any issue.
    After installing windows 7 I would have to download boot camp and then use the boot camp control panel to restart in the Mac Pro installation DVD and I will have to reinstall OS X again. After installing OS X, I went to System Preference and tried to select Windows 7 as startup disc. But I failed to as it says "Windows 7" Was installed via another utility. I would have to erase the partition and reinstall Windows 7 again using bootcamp utility. If I try to install windows 7 again, the horror I described above repeats again.
    From my understanding, the Boot camp utility creates a new EFI bootrom with Master Boot Record (MBR) in FAT32 format. Therefore I could not boot back into Mac OS X without using boot camp in windows 7 as none of the boot combinations key worked.
    I want to ask if anyone is experiencing the same issue as i do, and if there are any solutions to the problem I am experiencing. I never had such issue before. I was able to install Windows 7 on my 2ndary internal hard drive without issue using boot camp. I don't what has changed. I have googled for solution, I only found something related to XOM but nothing else.
    If anyone can provide me with any help in regards to installing Windows 7 as a whole partition on a secondary internal hard drive. It'd be grealy appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    If you have driver issue, just pre-download the boot camp drivers and save them on an external drive or burn them onto a cd, you will be able to load drivers via the advanced installation option during windows setup, that is if your osx partition isn't actively preventing you from installing win7 on the BOOTCAMP Partition created by boot camp assistant, I find this rather ironic, took me 3 days to figure out this issue, I was stuck without being able to boot into anything beside the windows cd, which wasn't even helpful as I could not install windows as I did not want to delete my osx partition. I lost all my data becsuse of it, as I had no idea what was going on. I tried to recover the partition using testdisk, hfsprogs and gparted in ubuntu life cd but they dont support HFS+. As I could not access osx terminal (couldn't even boot into osx installation dvd with that dreaded MBR created by boot csmp). I could not use pdisk in terminal to restore the osx partition map. Though luck for me. Called applecare and they had no idea what the problem was, and as usual they orgsnised for hard drive replacement. But it was clearly a software issue.
    They will have to fix bay2 for me as I can no longer detect any hard disk connected to that bay.

  • Boot Camp Expiration Problem Partition Removal!

    I want very badly to remove my windows partition. I have already deleted windows off of my 30gb partition but cannot figure out how to remove the partition itself to free up extra harddrive space. I have tried setting the "time" back on my system to before sept 30 2007 and when i do that it says that I need to use bootcamp assistant 2.0. But I dont have the ability to upgrade to that because I cant find my Mac leopard install cd. I want to remove this partition without having to use boot camp again...I have a 500gb external that I have just backed up my entire system with using SuperDuper. If I boot from my external and try to "format" my original drive will this remove the partition? After this I would obviously back up the external to the original and it should work right? Also, how do i completely wipe the original drive....just use disk utility????ANY help would be awesome! Thanks!!!!!

    You should be fine with format/initialize or erase of the entire hard drive (top level name, something like vendor name WDxxxx or SExxxx for Western Digital etc).
    Of course testing your superduper backup and restore, and that you can boot and run from it properly is step #1.
    Else, $29 will buy Snow Leopard DVD.

  • Boot Camp problem + General partitioning

    First, the Boot Camp problem
    I don't know exactly how to explain, but I kind of made the partition and restored them into one single startup disk, for several times. It was OK for the first few times, but then it required me to run Disk Utility (from startup) to repair the disk before I can partition. It happened for one time. But after that, it started to ask me to back up the hard disk, format it, and restore it, then try Boot Camp again. So, the ending of the story is I can never do boot camp again now because I wouldn't waste at least 70 quid for a hard disk large enough to back up solely because I need to run Boot Camp. Is there anybody here know why this is happening? And, eventually I think I'd have to buy an external drive and back up, format, restore, then run Boot Camp. But doesn't it sound dumb and familiar? This is exactly the ONE AND ONLY way to fix any problems in a PC. Aren't macs supposed to be far better than PCs? Why do we have to do what PC users have to painfully do? I hope somebody here can come up with a solution that doesn't involve "backup>format>restore".
    Second, the partitioning,
    I came up with an idea to solve the above problem. But I don't know whether it actually works, so I'm seeking for advice. I was hoping if I run Disk Utility from start up, make two partitions (or more) for the mac HD, one HD being the one holding all the data, and the remaining being empty. Then I can format the empty one (which seems rather redundant), and do the Boot Camp thing on this partition. However, there are two points I have doubts with. One, if I split my current single mac HD into multiples of partitions, will any or even all my data be lost? Because I can only specify how much to partition, I wouldn't have the chance to "tell" the computer to keep all existing data on one partition. Two, I know that Boot Camp can run on an external HD, so is it possiible to run on a different partition?

    Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows XP.
    Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & XP, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
    The Forum is at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology.

  • Boot Camp Assistant works, partitioning doesn't!

    so, i got through the steps until it came to the partitioning and it won't work because at first, it couldn't move files, then it said i need to repair the startup disk, then it said that i need to restart the macbook pro and boot from the startup disk.

    Why don't you delete Boot Camp and then re-install. For whatever reason your install must be bad. Download Boot Camp here....

  • How can I install windows 7 using boot camp, if the partition will not format correctly?

    Hi All,
    I'm new to this forum and have had a chance to look around a little bit, but haven't really found an answer to the problem that I'm having.
    I have an imac and I'm attempting to use boot camp.  I have used it in the past, with prior versions of mac os x, but this is the first time that I have tried it with 10.6.8.  The first thing I found out is that I can't use Windows XP, even with service pack 2 installed, because it doesn't find the "boot camp" partition.  So, I recently obtained a full retail copy of Windows 7 and have been trying to install it.  I have no problem with the boot camp assistant creating the new partition, 200 GB.  However, when I insert the Windows 7 DVD and the computer restarts in the Win 7 install screen it tells me that I cannot install Windows on the selected partition (which I expected to see.)  So I choose "format" the further format the partition.  It doesn't ask me how I would like to partition this, but just seems to start.  All seems to go fine until it finishes and i see the same message of "Windows cannot be installed in the selected partition."  I can click on the format tab endlessly but it still doesn't seem to work.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I've called Apple and their technicians keep telling me that I need to reinstall the Mac OS again, which I've tried.  It doesn't seem to help either.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    DTK

    Yes, I choose "Format" under the advanced options screen.  It seems like it formats, but then I get the same message of "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.  The selected disk is of the GPT partition style."  I can continue to click "format" but i keep getting the same error.
    There is the answer, right in front of us ....
    Delete the bootcamp partition and start again the correct partition type is GUID but BootCamp should take care of that automatically so try again.
