Repairing bootcamp after creating new partition

Like others who have posted here, I had two partitions, MacOS and Bootcamp that worked just fine.  I then added a new partition because I need a "D" drive in Windows configuration to be able to install a particular set of programs that rely on such a configuration (long story and perhaps there was a better way).  Once I added the new NTFS partition and rebooted, I no longer see the Windows drive as a a boot option.  I don't know if the command line "sugo" utility and syntax  that I've seen in postings here applies to all such situations but if anyone can guide me through it I would be very grateful.  Thanks

No worries.  Here you go.  I'm glad you can interpret this stuff.

  • Repairing Bootcamp after creating new OS X Partition

    Hello,
    I've read though the steps that LonerT posted in a question similar to mine but I am not sure if I should follow the steps exactly.
    I have a MBP Retina 13", Early 2013 running OS X 10.9
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
    I created a new partition on the Macintosh HD and since then cannot boot into BOOTCAMP.
    I am comfortable with command lines in the Terminal. Any assistance would he greatly appreciated!

    I have fixed my problem by following the instructions in this very helpful post http://nerdr.com/bootcamp-partition-lost-repairing-mac-partitions/

  • 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.

  • Lion Recovery disappeared after creating new partition

    Hey there-
    Today I created a new partition on my MacBook Pro hard drive in order to install a separate Snow Leopard partition on my machine... Prior to creating this partition, I had my regular Mac HD partition, Lion Recovery, and a BootCamp partition to choose from when booting up. After creating the new partition, I was able to install Snow Leopard on it without a hitch, but now when I reboot and hold the 'option' key to choose the boot source, only the Mac partition, Snow leopard partion, and BootCamp partition show up... Where did Recovery HD go? Is it still on my machine somewhere?
    Thanks!

    Well like I said, I already have file redundancy with my two computers and if the whole thing dies, I'll just do it all over again... I'm not too worried about that. But yeah, probably a good idea to keep a copy of the installer. I did download it overnight but by then my problem was already resolved, haha. *puts it in safe keeping*
    I really only cared for Recovery HD for two things: Find my Mac (it's needed to boot into Guest only mode) and to do file system repairs in Disk Utility if necessary.
    When I get a bigger capacity hard drive one day, maybe I'll clone the whole setup but for now I really only wanted that partition back for the two things I mentioned above.
    But again, I still insist that the method in the link is a much faster way, step 1 being almost unnecessary.
    The 10.7.2 update even includes this exact process in the background to replace the old Recovery partition with its newer version.

  • After creating new partition with iPartition, on a nonbootdrive, I can no longer see any files stored on that drive.

    I have a Hitachi disk that I use for media (photos, videos, etc..)
    After using Ipartition to create a new partition on this disk, none of the files are visible any more.
    The disk was never partiton before so this was the first partition created.
    When I launch iPartition again, I notice that I now have a Microsoft FAT or NTFS type partion and a HFS partiton however there is no data at all under Finder.
    What should I do to recover my files ?

    you don't need 3rd party to shrink and create a 2nd partition.
    One partition is still partition, and there are others like Lion Recovery, GUID, EFI on there.
    Repair the drive and make sure iPartition does what you want and current. Or just use DU instead.
    And backup.

  • BootCamp cannot create new partition on drive free space.

    Hi Folks,
    I am hoping for some advice here. I am running OS X (10.5.6) and wish to use Boot Camp to created a partition to install Windows XP SP2 for some gaming. My machine is a late 2007 MBP 2.4GHz C2D, 4GB RAM, 340GB WD transplanted hard drive.
    I have about 180GB of free space for a new partition to be created for the XP install.
    When I fire up the Boot Camp Assistant tool, I am immediately informed of the following:
    "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition."
    "Back up the disk and use the Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using the Boot Camp Assistant again."
    + I have never had more than one partition on this drive.
    + I installed the drive new with no partition and used a tool named 'Carbon Copy Cloner' to transfer data from the original drive onto this drive, the machine booted right away and I have been using it without issue ever since.
    + I have run Disk Utility to 'Verify Disk', 'Verify Disk Permissions' and 'Repair Disk Permissions' all ran with no problems and completed successfully.
    My question is, how can I make a usable backup copy of the drive to restore back to the drive after performing the re-format?
    Can I use the Carbon Copy Cloner software for this? I want to make sure that the resulting internal drive is bootable, etc.
    I have been running Time Machine as well and have a disk full of backups from that app, but I have no idea how to use it to restore the drive to it's current state after re-partition and format.
    Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.
    John

    So today I used the free "trial" version of SuperDuper to create a bootable clone of my primary internal drive.
    It was about 100GB and took a long time to copy onto USB 2.0 external SATA drive, but it worked.
    SuperDuper provided the option to make the copy the boot device as well. After reboot, I used OS X Disk Utility to erase primary drive.
    I then performed the operation in reverse, copying the entire contents back to the original location.
    After a reboot, I ran the Boot Camp Utility and received the same aggravating message which I received before.
    How can I be sure that I am actually re-formatting the target drive in order to consolidate free space? Is this my issue? When I performed the erase operation, I skipped the "zero out free space" step. Am I using the correct utility to prepare the target drive?
    Once again, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    John

  • 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.

  • Recovery HD gone after creating new partition (to install Snow)

    Hey all,
    So I needed to reinstall Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro, so in Disk Utility I shrunk the main partition by about 20gb and then installed Snow Leopard on that partition, so now I can dual-boot Lion and Snow Leopard.
    But now the Recovery HD partition is gone. Is this normal and any way to get it back?

    Well like I said, I already have file redundancy with my two computers and if the whole thing dies, I'll just do it all over again... I'm not too worried about that. But yeah, probably a good idea to keep a copy of the installer. I did download it overnight but by then my problem was already resolved, haha. *puts it in safe keeping*

  • Can't create new partition

    Hello.
    I have a problem. I want to install WinXP via BootCamp and can't create new partition for it.
    BootCamp Assistant crashes during partitioning (kernel panic), and when I use Leopard installation disk and try to create new partition in Disk Utility on DVD, it returns an error "No space left on device".
    I repaired my hard disk many times (all errors were repaired) and still no improvement.
    I don't want to format my disk to zero, because I don't use Time Machine and it would be really difficult to restore all the data.
    Thank you in advance.

    Use Disk Utility Restore to copy your internal drive to an external USB/FW drive. Then reformat.

  • Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers?  I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive.  All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro

    Hi Everyone,
    Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers?  I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive.  All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro.
    The bootcamp drivers have been downloaded from apple's website.  Filename:  BootCamp5.0.5033
    I have a iMac 27" late 2013 model.
    NOTE:  I have downloaded the drivers manually from apples support site as the bootcamp wizard fails third of the way through the download.
    Appreciate any assistance.
    Regards,
    asdutoit

    There is a missing point in this thread, and it is that the Boot Camp drivers for the Late 2013 iMac can only be downloaded from Boot Camp Assistant. The Boot Camp drivers available in the Apple site are not compatible with that iMac.
    Delete the Boot Camp drivers from the USB drive, open Boot Camp Assistant and try to download the Boot Camp drivers again. If you get a message telling you that they could not be downloaded, I would try reinstalling OS X through OS X Recovery, by holding down Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up

  • Problem in Creating New partition in Pavilion dm4 1217TX

    I have a hp Pavilion dm4 1217TX model laptop. I want to partition the hard disk (640GB) to separate the OS to the data. I think this is a very basic safety feature that will save my data in case of Windows failure (which is a very common problem). I have already split the C Drive and the new condition of my hard drive is
    System           199 MB       Primary
    C                        70 GB       Primary
    Unallocated   494 GB       Logical
    Recovery           32 GB       Primary
    HP Tools        103  MB      Primary
    Now I can't create partition in the Unallocated space because of 4 Primary Partition it already has. Now what can I do ? I can't understand that why it comes with four Primary Partition and without any Extended partition.

    Hi, there, I have the same problem with you, because of the OEM of the laptop, they have partitioned our hard drive in advanced, however this partition is not logical. As we know, when we install Windows7, the system partition and system reserved partition are set as primary partition without doubt, but how could they make the HP tools and other partition as primary partitino too. I'm very unhappy with this. I don't know WHAT are they thinking about. Every one who has a bit comptuer knowloage knows the rules of createing new partitions in Windows.  In my situation, I could only copy the data on recovery to C drive, then delete it. and recreate logical partition, then copy it back. Hope this could also help you.

  • New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7

    New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7 workstation. 
    Windows 2008r2 hosts the hyper-v server. I can create VMs and VHD's when connecting to the server locally with the hyper-v manager. 
    The issue arises when I try to connect to the hyper-v server from my workstation which runs windows 7. 
    I have installed  The Windows6.1-KB958830-x64-RefreshPkg.msu that was suggested for windows 7 sp1. 
    I can connect to the hyper-v server, create vm's but  I cannot create vhd's  the gui just hangs with no errors in event log or on screen. 
    The files are there on the hyper-v hard drive but i suspect they are just created by windows as they are written and are not valid. 

    I've had just the same solution. Both did Hang Fixed size and flexible.
    Two parts were taken:
    1 - KB939820 for Windows 2003 server based domain controllers
    2 - disable using IPv6 on your NIC
    Result - both types of VHD's are created normaly.
    -----Infrastructure----
    Windows 2003 Domain upgtraded to 2008R2
    Windows Server 2008R2 Hyper-V - virtualisation clustered
    Windows 7 Pro - Hyper-V management

  • Problem in Shrink my local disk C and create new partitions on it.

    I am trying to Shrink my local disk C (current boot volume) and create new partitions on it. But I am getting a Warning message that If I do so, I won't be able to boot from any volume excepet the the current boot Volume. 
    In case if I need to do the recovery for my computer what will happen. does it mean that I can't do the recovery from my hard disk?

    Hello Kaj_R.
    If you change the volumes it is quite likely that the recovery partition will not function.  I suggest you create a set of Recovery Media before messing with the partitions.
    This document can help you create the recovery media.
    Have a great day!
