Unable to Adjust Partition after BootCamp

Hi
I use Boot Camp Assistant (BCA) to remove Windows 7 and ended with a message "Your disk could not be restored to a single partition". I am not sure if the Windows 7 is successfully removed.
I use Disk Utility (DU) to try to "re-partition" the Mac HD to 250GB (from 218GB) but after checking catalog file and other processes, it ended with a message "Could't modify partition map because the file system verification failed"
I use the First Aid to verify disk and reported the partition map appears to be ok
I use the Repair Disk and it reported  the partition map appears to be ok
Below is the map of the partition after I remove the Windows 7. I dragged the white color region (botton right) to extend to 250GB and click Apply and failed with the error message "Could't modify partition map because the file system verification failed"

So just clone the volume and then erase and restore.
If you created Windows with BCA and  you didn't do anything else in Windows or Mac OS to add change or shrink etc BCA should have.
In some cases that error happens when creating or attempting to create Windows partition not on removal.
Paragon CampTune is handy but for what you want just use Carbon Copy Cloner.
I always advise using a dedicated drive just for Windows.

  • 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.

  • Can't restore to 1 partition after bootcamp

    Ok so I ran into a weird problem, and after searching for a while I can't seem to find a solution.
    Can't find anyone else who has had the same problem either.
    I'm currently running a 2012 RMBP. I had bootcamp installed running Windows 7.
    Today I wanted to remove the Bootcamp partition to free up some space on my HD.
    So I went to Bootcamp Utility and selected the option to restore Mac to 1 partition and remove bootcamp
    After a while it gives me an error message, something like "cannot remove bootcamp partition or restore mac to single partition"
    Ok...
    But not the bootcamp partition is gone from the bootcamp utility. It's also gone from Disk utility and the Finder.
    But the space that the partition was occupying (about 20+ gigs) did not change.
    So it's like it's still there but I cannot erase it or get that space back for some reason.
    I've tried everything. I tried rebooting using CMD+R and going to disk utilities from there also. But the bootcamp partition
    doesn't show up at all. But the space it was taking is still there.
    Also in Disk Utility I cannot "erase free space", it's greyed out. I can't do anything. It's like the bootcamp partition is gone, but
    the space is still being taken up. So it was never really removed.
    I don't know what else to do. Any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else?

    I encountered the same, or very similar problem with my 2012 15" rMBP.  Upon trying to uninstall Windows 7 and its associated 60GB Partition via Boot Camp Assistant (BCA), some sort of error (dialog disappeared too quickly to recall specifics) apparently prevented completetion.  During my second attempt, the process appeared to stall at about 25-30% completion.  After the "progress bar" hadn't moved for 10 minutes, I quit BCA.
    My third attempt ended at the second BCA screen, as the initial three options (for installing Windows) were again available.  I thought perhaps I had actually erased the Windows Partition, but Disk Utility still displayed an unnamed 60GB Partition.  Unfortunately, resizing my boot volume to 768GB triggered a file system verification error, as did Mende1's thoughtful solution.
    Finally, after highlighting my SSD (not my boot volume Partition) and selecting "Verify Disk", the "Repair disk in Recovery Mode" error suspended Verification.  After rebooting in Recovery Mode (command + R after chime), repairing the drive in Disk Utility did just that, and I was able to simply resize my boot volume Partition, removing the empty partition.  I guess BCA had uninstalled Windows 7, but failed to remove the partition.
    Sorry for the longwinded post, but since the OP's solution didn't work for me, I thought I would share the process that worked for me.

  • IMac won't boot OsX Partition after Bootcamp install/uninstall.

    Hello,
    I have bought 2 late 2012 21.5 iMacs last year and have used both the same way. Here is what happened with one of them recently.
    Fisrt af all I've installed bootcamp 1 year ago in both iMacs without issues and was ok so far, and was using exclusively Windows 7 partition. The trouble iMac started with some startup issues during boot/reboot (screen was frozen with green/grey horizontal lines), but worked fine after following manual start up.
    Lately I've been trying to boot from OsX partition and it freezes in the apple logo every time.
    I have already done the SMC / PRAM procedures, without success.
    I have tried to download and do a fresh OsX install (Mountain Lion, Mavericks and Yosemite). Can't boot from Mavericks / Yosemite flash drive install (both freeze at apple logo - horizontal lines), and only had partial success with one Mountain Lion 10.8.5 flash drive install that booted all right and the first part of the installation process was ok, but after the initial reboot, it happened to freeze the same way before.
    The iMac failed to boot in safe mode (stops booting at 25% and then freezes on apple logo), and show no issues with AHT tests.
    I can boot in single user mode, but it reboots after a few seconds. I noticed some errors messages during this boot.
    It fails to boot in verbose mode, showing a few lines of errors (images attached), and then freezes in a green horizontal line screen.
    I can still boot from Bootcamp flash drive and Ubuntu Flash drive, and install both OS. The only issue is with OsX itself. I have used Gparted in Ubuntu to Format the hole partition to HFS+, and can't find any errors in hard drive tests.
    I thought about buying a thunderbolt cable and try to do a Clone of my other iMac, but don't know if it will work.
    Any other tests/suggestions about this issue?
    Regards,

    Fixed the problem with this setup
    Of course this means i just lost 4GB.
    Let me tell the full story.
    In the beginning, long ago, once upon a time. My iMac had 2x2GB ram sticks which were in the two DIMM1 Banks. I then told myself "I WANT MORE RAM BECAUSE LOLZ". So i bought 2x4GB ram sticks. The two empty slots were Bank 0/DIMM0 and Bank 1/DIMM 0. and I added them in there. having done that, I booted OS X up, worked great, had 12GB, everything was shiny and beautiful. Soon after I wanted to try it out on windows. I restarted my computer and BAM the blinking cursor just sits there, being stubborn and all. I then told myself "holy balls, this new ram i got is bonkers" (them words, I blame the language filter). Then after giving it a little thought, i just asked myself if it was because I had ram from two different manufacturers. I removed my old ram, which has nice Samsung stickers on them, and booted it up on windows. Still had the same problem, I then decided that maybe this is all really mentally challenged so to win I had to think like a retard. I took my new ram and inserted it in the same slots where my old ram sticks were (DIMM1 Banks), booted windows up and IT WORKED.
    I still hold all of my WHYs on this subject but I will keep messing around to see if I find a better solution than just leaving both DIMM0 banks empty

  • Unable to create partition after RAID setup failure

    SL - Tried to create RAID 1 with two external 250G drives. The RAID setup failed indicating improper format pair. So....I attempted to re-create the partition on one of the drives with proper settings.
    It will not partition at all. It returns a POSIX error: unable to allocate memory.
    I've tried the following:
    Using startup disk
    Partitioning using WindowsXP (which worked....only for Windows)
    Tried erasing
    Tried to partition with each partition type.
    Nothing works! However, when I restart SL, it pops open a window indicating the drive needs to be 'initialized'. I click 'initialize' button, but that doesn't help.

    Do the following:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Are you trying to create a RAID using partitions on hard drives or using the entire drive?

  • Problems restoring partition after bootcamp failure

    Hi!
    I'm using a new MacBook Pro (Retina, 15") with OS X 10.10.2 where I tried to install Windows 8.1 with the help of the Bootcamp-assistant. Everything went well to set up the partitions and I decided to set aside 50 GB for my Windows partition. But the Windows 8.1 installer for some reason refused to install on this partition so without thinking too much (big mistake) I tried formatting it from within the installer which didn't work and lead to boot problems when I restarted. Without knowing so much about these things I understand that the Windows partition manager where writing in places on the disk that wasn't so good for the OS X system? Anyway, I have managed to get back to booting normally and within the Disk Utility in OS X I deleted all the different small partitions (that I could see) and the 50 GB Windows partition so that there is now just the main OS X partition showing and 50 GB of unused, unpartitioned space.
    An this is where I'm stuck. Everything works fine except I now have a 50 GB smaller disk... I wan't to restore everything back to having just one big OS X partition but I can't use the Bootcamp-assistant since it does not recognize the disk as being managed by it and from inside Disk Utility I can't resize the OS X partition back to normal. I can't pull the slider to increase its size, I can't manually type in the partitions size since those numbers are greyed out and I can't create a new 50 GB partition of any kind since when I try to proceed nothing happens. I have even attempted to format the whole drive and restore my time machine backup from recovery mode but I can't figure out how to do that. I seem to be able to format the, now smaller, OS X-partition but doesn't that just create a new partition with the same size? How do I erase everything and create a completely new partition with the maximum size? Oh, and I also tried removing the OS X-partiton by pressing the minus button at the bottom but that button is greyed out as well. Even in recovery mode...
    I have included two screen dumps. Sorry for them being in Swedish... Hopefully they can be of help anyway.
    Thank you in advance for any help!!

    This problem is being discussed in Is there a way I can get the "Free Space" back without completely restoring my hard drive?

  • How to access Mac Partition after bootcamp

    I've just recently bootcamped my Mac and now i have windows 7 and that is working fine but now when I try to get onto Mac Partition it dosent work. I've tried to restart my Mac but it hasn't worked I can't access the Mac Partition it is just stuck on the loading screen when you turn the Mac on and stays like that. How do i fix this or just access the Mac Partition

    Hi,
    usually you hold down the Alt/Option-key at startup of your Mac to get the Boot Selection screen.
    There you can choose which Operating System to boot into.
    Once in OSX you might wanna go to System Preferences - Startup Volume and set your OSX to be the default.
    If that's not working you should boot from your OSX Install DVD (holding down the C-key at startup) and use Disk Utility from it to verify/repair your harddisk/OSX.
    Regards

  • Create 3rd partition after installing Windows 7 on Macbook Pro (Lion preinstalled)?

    Hi, currently I'm having 2 partition: Macintosh HD - Lion (~680GB) and Bootcamp - Windows 7 (~60GB). Now I want to take ~600GB from the 1st partition to create a FAT32 data storage. My question is: is it possible to do so without reinstalling any OS?

    Do not add a partition after BootCamp.  BootCamp manipulates the boot-sector of a Mac disk to allow dual-booting.  But manually adding a third partition will break that tenuous multi-boot balance.
    Many threads posted by people who need to restore OSX from a backup and lose their BootCamp data due to system instability attest to the tourble you can cause.
    Buy an external drive and use that for FAT32 (or EXFAT to allow files larger than 4 GB) storage.

  • Error installing windows 7 on partition with Bootcamp.

    I'm having issues when I try and istall Windows 7 using bootcamp on my Macbook Pro 15' Retina Late-2013.
    I am able to create the USB Key with Windows 64-bit and Support files from apple with no issues. For this, I'm using a ScanDisk Extreme 32Gb USB 3.0.
    So after creating the Key/Install Drive for Windows and the computer boots using the Flashdrive for installing windows, I get until the following step:
    I am able to "Format" the Bootcamp partition (Parition 4) but when I try and select the partition for installing Windows, I get this:
    I tried doing this mutiple times, earasing the bootcamp installation and starting over, re-downloading the files. I even tried to use an other Win7 ISO files from before Win7 SP1 but with no luck. I did also try to "Delete" the partition and then create a "New" partition from the unallocated space but that didn't work.
    Any advice?

    So, I went ahead and contaced apple.
    It was not a pleasent experiance, I kept being bounced around diffrent support people; each time having to re-explain my problem, While they where all pretty friendly and somewhat helpful, they couldn't help me. I was therefore promoted to a "Senior Advisor", I rejoiced at the idea of this. After explaining my problem in depth and going throught everything I had done, she suggested I check out this other article posted on the Support Forums.
    She sent me to this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23756557#23756557
    Which sends you to this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5488789?tstart=0
    However, after following the somewhat unclear instructions on those discussions, I was completly unable to start up my bootcamp; I kept getting "Application has Crashed".
    And here I am, back to square one.

  • HT1782 Is there a way to partition my bootcamp via disk utility whithout impacting the windows 8.1 which is already installed?

    I have got a new macbook pro 15 with SSD - 512Gig, RAM - 16 Gig, NVIDIA GPU - 2 Gig. I basically work on windows stuff and I heard of the bootcamp support that apple provide to install windows in their models and wanted to try the best APPLE mobile PC.
    What I did:
    I logged in to windows 8.1 via bootcamp and under disk management tool in windows I partitioned my bootcamp drive to add a new partition. The partition was successfully done but when I tried to bootcamp back to OSx, the diskutility did not recognise the addtional partition that i created, eventually i couldnt logon to OSx. Then I logged back in to windows 8.1 and deleted the partition and tried loggin to OSx. But now the diskutility didnot recognise any of the drives at all, and I ended up earsing all the partitions and recovered OSx via internet.
    I guess the partitions cannot be modified outside the OSx itself. So is there a way to partition my bootcamp via disk utility whithout impacting the windows 8.1 which is already installed?
    Any one please help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sreejesh.

    After using BootCamp to partition a drive, the partition map is a hybrid that Disk Utility is unable to do anything with safely as far as partitioning goes.
    Try Camptune from Paragon at http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ instead.

    Right, so the problem is that the MBR only contains the Windows partition, therefore Windows only sees itself. To fix this, you'd use gdisk to create a new hybrid MBR. Go to the recovery menu, r, create new hybrid MBR, h. And then follow the questions: yes to EFI GPT being first in the MBR; add partitions 2 4 5. Accept default type code hex values by just hitting enter when asked, and do not make 2 or 4 bootable, do make 5 bootable.
    So the problem with this layout is that partition 3, Recovery HD, can't be added to the MBR. Therefore it appears to Windows as unallocated free space and is open game for being modified, erased, whatever. Which is why a 5 partition layout isn't recommended or supported and also has no meaningful advantage. But I'd fix it as suggested and just leave it alone until you have full backups of both environments and you're ready to do a major upgrade and blow everything away and start from scratch at that time. It's a fairly low risk that Recovery HD gets broken by Windows. And it's sort of risky to try to get rid of this extra partition you created, to go back to a 4 partition layout.

  • Losing disk partition after choosing startup disk

    Hi,

    Thanks for help

    You CAN'T have 3 partitions on your Mac and have the Windows install work. Windows only allows 4 Primary partitions on any one physical hard drive. Since you created a exFAT partition you have past that Windows limit.
    One partition for OS X, one for Windows, one for the OS X Recovery HD and the forth for the EFI. Now that you have created a so called Data partition windows will no longer boot.
    You are basically TOAST and might need to start over with a total wipe, Re-Partitioning, of the drive then reinstall OS X and you programs and files then reinstall Windows program and files and then do not try fooling with the partitions again, any of them on the OS X or Windows side, because if you do Windows again will not boot.

  • Can no longer boot to MacOSX after bootcamp install

    Hello all, I have an issue to where I can no longer boot into the Mac OSX partition after what appears to be a failed Windows bootcamp install. As I was running the bootcamp assistant process, a reboot occurred and I was greeted with the "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". I have no idea how to get past this and boot back to OSX.
    Things I have tried:
    Holding down the "option" key does nothing, even using a USB keyboard
    Resetting PRAM (CMD + OPT + P + R) does nothing, even with USB keyboard
    I have put in a MAC OSX 10.7 Disk and cannot boot to disk using CMD + C on startup
    I also pulled the hard drive out and connected it to another PC and wiped the drive completely. I put it back in the macbook and I am still presented with this error. It seems, even though I get the Mac startup tone, that it is stuck in which ever OS it tried to run previously, that being Windows. Not sure why I am still receiving this error even after wiping the drive completely clean.
    As far as hardware goes, I am pretty sure its a late 2010 Alumn. Macbook Pro. I cant get the current model number since I cant boot the OS. Any help is appreciated.

    Please reset SMC as well.
    You can get the serial number from the back cover and use https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do to find the model.
