  • The disk space disappears after bootcamp failed in deleting the windows partition.

    Hardware: Macbook Pro 700
    OS: Lion v10.7
    1. I installed Windows 7 in my mac. The space of Windows partition is 80G.
    2. Some dlls of Windows will always disappear and at last the Windows cannot be started successfully.
    3. Yesterday I updated Lion and started the bootcamp to remove the Windows partition. But bootcamp throwed an error(I forget what the error is).
    4. I started bootcamp again to try to remove the Windows partition, but there is only create Windows partition in the options.
    5. I started the Disk Utilities and verified the disk. The reported result was that there were some errors in disk.
    6. So I restarted the machine and pressed COMMAND+R and entered the Disk Utilities to repair the disk.
    7. After repairing the disk, there are no errors in disk now. But 80G space disappears.
    Now my whole disk is still 320G, but the mac partition is 238G.
    How can I repair it? Please help me.

  • How large should I make the Windows partition in Bootcamp?

    I've just taken delivery of a shiny new 17" Macbook Pro and I am planning to install Windows 7 on it and run SolidWorks 2010 as well as all the Mac side stuff (Adobe CS4, vectorWorks etc). The question I have is what do the experts here think I should set as the Windows partition size? I have a 500GB drive to work with.
    Also, is it best practise to separate Windows files (eg the SolidWorks files) and the Mac files? Should I aim to have all the Windows native app files on the Windows partition or is it OK to mix and match (ie keep everything on the Mac side and access them from Windows)?

    right. I've installed both the 64bit and 32bit versions of Windows 7 and Office 2010 CPP (plus all OS/driver updates from Windows Update as well as other necessary apps (like anti-virus, DropBox, 2GB of personal data)) on a 60GB BC partition and wound up with about 43GB free. I'm not sure what everyone else is installing but you do NOT need a huge partition/drive for Windows 7. 60GB will do you just fine (and believe it or not, Windows is my default OS. I use Snow Leopard for iTunes, Photos (all multimedia), web cam/skype, and have the lion share of my 500GB drive allocated to OSX.
    Things are working very well with this configuration.

  • Mac Pro boot option screen freezes after I select the Windows partition

    Hello,
    I have a mid-2010 Mac Pro, and I am currently experiencing an issue regarding booting into Windows 7.  Windows 7 64-bit is installed on its own HDD in bay 2 of my Mac Pro.  When I restart my Mac Pro (from OS X), hold the option key, and select the windows HDD, the computer completely freezes and locks up.  I can't move the mouse or use the arrow keys on the keyboard, and the boot select screen completely locks up after selecting the Windows HDD.  This issue does not happen, however, after a cold shutdown and startup.  If I completely shut down my Mac Pro, start it up, hold the option key, and select the Windows HDD, it boots into Windows perfectly fine.  It is only after a reboot from OS X that the boot select screen completely locks up after selecting the Windows HDD.
    I have tried everything I can think of, including resetting the PRAM, SMC, repairing disk permissions, etc.  I did also call AppleCare a while back, and the technician on the phone was unable to find a solution.  I have also tried selecting the Windows partition in the Startup Disk pane of system preferences, and that did not work either.  I have also tried utilities such as BootChamp to automate the restart.  Same issue.  Could this be a hardware issue?
    Thank you,
    Robert

    pull OS X and try
    Too early to even try F8 - Windows safe boot
    Try booting Windows DVD would be first on my list
    Every month on 2nd Tuesday all the security updates for Windows patches come out
    Clone your Windows hard drive - $20 Paragon Clone OS are just like CCC: bootable, swapable backup copies
    Don't try using and it has nothing to do with OS X
    It may be something you or Windows installed though or even an update pending on restart.

  • How do I remove the Windows partition? Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the remove option.

    I am using an iMac, 8.1, early 2008. I installed Windows XP at that time. I am now using OS 10.8.5 and want to remove the Windows partition to free up disk space. Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the "install or remove" option. How can I get rid of the Windows partition?

    You can try removing it in Disk Utility.
    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 Disk Utility 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. Select the bottom rectangle/partition. Click on the Delete [-] button below the sizing window to remove it. Click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    4. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for the remaining partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and drag it all the way down to the bottom. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. 
    You should now have a restored single volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

  • HT5446 If I buy a mac mini with a fusion drive and add windows using boot camp, can I make the SSD function be dedicated to the windows partition?

    If I buy a mac mini with a fusion drive and add windows using boot camp, can I make the SSD function be dedicated to the windows partition?

    Additional information from Linc's post. Basically, only one additional partition can be added to a Fusion Drive and it resides on the HDD.
    Do computers that come with a Fusion Drive support Boot Camp?
    Yes. Use the Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition and install Boot Camp. The Windows partition will exist on the hard disk drive, not the Flash drive, and is not part of Fusion Drive Logical Volume Group. 3TB Fusion Drive configurations need to update to OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3 or later to install Windows 8. See iMac (27-inch, Late 2012): Boot Camp alert with 3T hard drive for more information.

  • I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows.  I upgraded to Lion and somehow it crashes the mac side peridoically.  I am told I need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the recovery drive.  will that delete the windows partition too??

    I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows.  I upgraded to Lion and now the mac side crashes/freezes periodically, especially iphoto.  I am told by the genius' that I probably need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the "recovery drive" which resets everything back to default and reinstalls the lion operating system.  My question is will this also delete the "windows" partition drive and all that data too.  If so that will be a huge pain in the ___ to back up and reinstall boot camp and windows. I want to shoot the lion.

    There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
    You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
    If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
    Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.

  • Time Machine, External Hard drive, and the Windows Partition

    Is it possible for me to back up my mac with Time machine, and also back up my windows partition on the same HD? I just got the External HD today, so I'm very new at this. Thanks for your help.

    Time machine does not work with windows drives.
    however the way I have backed up my bootcamp partition is to use diskutility to make a dmg of the windows partition. I then only make regular backups of my user account on the windows partition.
    You could partition the new external drive and make 1 partition hfs+ and the other fat32. Then when booted into windows it will see the fat32 partition on the external drive. Then you can carry out backups from within windows to that partition.
    Timemachine will backup your mac partition with no problems.

  • Target Disc Mode and only showing the windows partition:

    Hi, two weeks ago I purchased Aperture 2 for my MacBook Pro, and during the install, it stated that the install had failed and then froze. I did a hard-shutdown, and when I attempted to boot it back up, it kept trying to boot in Windows-- (It is running Bootcamp Beta/ it's a first generation MBP.) Windows wouldn't even boot up. Repair disc failed, as did numerous other courses of action. Apple advised me of TDM and we verified holding "T" that it would boot up in such. I then decided it was time to acquire a new desktop, which is how I get the Mac Pro. So I'm desperately trying to salvage the data from my MBP, but when booting up in TDM, only the Windows partition appears in Finder...any ideas? It's like the Mac partition has disappeared, as it only appears in the disc profiler thingy that you may access with the OS X disc in the optical drive.
    Thanks in advance.

    Try using Disk Warrior.
    Pull the drive and put it in FW case.

  • After Installing Lion how do i get the windows partition back?

    The Windows Partition is not showing up after installing Lion.
    I only get the option of booting Mac or Recovery
    How do I get it back.

    Hi!
    I had the similar problem, where my windows option went missing after installing Lion. I gave up trying to resolve it and did a clean installation on windows again by re-configuring my Windows partition & install Windows 7 on it. It seems to work well for now...
    Apple should have warned us that the Windows partition will be unreadable when u install Lion. Hence, allowing users to back their files up on Windows environment before installing Lion.
    Thank god I did not have any important files save in Windows.

  • Just installed windows 7 Ultimate using Boot Camp. Problem is when I chose to boot the windows partition, I get the windows icon on the sreen showing that it is starting, but few second after I get a black screen

    Just installed windows 7 Ultimate using Boot Camp. Problem is when I choose to boot the windows partition, I get the windows icon on the screen showing that it is starting, but few second after, I get a blank screen. I suspect a driver (screen) issue, since I also installed Parallell using the boot camp partition and that works fine.
    Do anybody out there has an ideal of what to do to solve this issue.
    Thanks

  • Boot Camp formatting the windows Partition -XP- I DIDNT! NOW GOT BIG PROBS!

    Well Hi everyone, here goes in public! *I didn't read the manual carefully enough*
    So, got that out the way, when the XP disc finishes instal and restarts i get the blank dos screen with:
    'disk Error, press any key to restart'
    but my keyboard has been completely frozen, the only way to restart is a forced restart with the power button.
    Even when i try a forced start from the mac os instal DVD, you know- restart - 'D' key all i get is the apple hardware test utility which works only with my mouse and doesn't go any further in helping free my keyboard. although it does say there's no problem with the hardware.
    i have important info on my Mac partition and need to recover that.
    Is there any way of freeing the keyboard so i can try again?
    Any help will be greatly, and humbly, appreciated.
    PS. I've already looked at other threads and they all seem to have working keyboards, if i can get mine working i may be able to follow their advice.

    I've had to go through this a number of times, and it's just something that you cannot get around.
    When you're setting up boot camp, if you choose 32Gb as your Windows partition, it will use the FAT32 format. When you boot from your Windows disk, as you would with a PC that you already know has a disk formatted to FAT32, you would select "Leave file system intact" under the format options. You cannot do this. You HAVE TO select "Format as FAT32".
    If you leave the FS intact, it will install part of the OS and reboot, and you'll get this screen. What you would to then is hold the power button down for 10 sec, restart the machine and immediately press and hold the C key. This will tell the machine to boot from the CD, in this case, the Windows install disk. Once you do this, go in and tell the installer to format the drive.
    If for whatever reason this doesn't work, boot back into OS X by restarting and holding the "Option/Alt", select Macintosh HD. Once OS X boots, find the boot camp assistant and give the Windows partition back to OS X, and start over.
    So long as you DON'T select "Leave file system intact", you will not have to deal with this.

    Mine's a late '09, but there have been display issues with iMacs.
    Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

  • Does restoring a computer back to a certain date in time remove the Windows partition created by Boot Camp?

    If I'm wanting to restore my computer back to a certain date in time using a TM backup, will it remove my Windows partition? For example, say I choose to restore back to a date when I did not have the Windows partition on the computer, does it remove the partition, or does it keep it on the computer since it's a separate partition?

    I didn't say TM could use an MS-DOS partition. I just said "You can't really state that "Windows partition is invisible to TM", since a Windows XP partition could be formatted MS-DOS, and thus is not invisible to TM." I am right. You shouldn't make blanket statements that are not true.
