Upgrading to Mavericks has damaged my bootcamp partition

I had parallels installed a while back but deleted it because slowed my mac down so much.... I reinstalled it and am able to load Windows 8 under Parallels, but boot camp does not work.  I hate this because Bootcamp is the only way to run this system if you don't want to hobble the mac side. 
This is the worst of both worlds.  Apple provides virtually no help and Microsoft is being, well Microsoft offering solutions only a code person would understand.

Same here. The options to do any repair or even verify are grayed out. Any luck with yours?

  • What does upgrading to Mavericks due to my BootCamp partition?

    I'm still running my OSX 10.6 that was upgraded to 10.8, but i haven't downloaded and installed 10.9 yet.  If I install Mavericks, will that make any changes to BootCamp or should that still function the same after the upgrade?  Right now my laptop boots to the Windows partition by default.  Do i have to upgrade bootcamp after?

    From what has happened to me and it seems quite a few people is that your windows/bootcamp drive will either just not allow you to boot to it.  Or at worst you wont even be able to see it as an option when you hold down "alt" at startup. 
    In other words, Maverick really screws with the bootcamp partition. 

  • Will upgrading to lion/mountain lion erase bootcamp partition?

    I am thinkng about upgrading to Lion/mountan lion, but was wondering if it will delete my bootcamp windows partition.  I have to use windows for some work taht I do, and would rather not have to spend the few hours to repartition and upgrade my copy of XP

    If you're already running Windows 7, upgrading it to Win 7 Pro allows you to install XP Mode which is XP Pro running inside of Win 7 Pro. Depending on your Mac, XP Mode can run surprisingly fast. I'm doing that in Fusion. I don't know if Win 7 Pro in Boot Camp will equally support XP Mode, but since Microsoft takes care of the support for XP Mode, I doubt it would be a problem.

  • Does the upgrade to Lion preserve an existing Bootcamp partition

    Can someone give us a definitive answer on whether upgrading to lion will preserve an existing bootcamp win 7 64 bit partition (don't know if the win system matters but I tried to be specific)?
    Thanks

    It is supposed to install only on the OS X formatted drive you select. It does not change a Windows partition.
    However, Lion must create a Recovery HD partition on the drive that requires slightly shrinking the last partition which is the Windows partition. If the installer is unable to do this then it will produce an error. In some cases the Windows volume is corrupted by the process. In this case boot from the Windows installer disc, go past the first screen into the recovery tools, and run the automatic recovery option. This should fix the problem.

  • Will upgrading from OSX Snow Lepoard to OSX Yosemite remove my Windows Bootcamp Partition?

    Hello guys, so i have a question.
    I am currently running OSX Snow Leopard, and i want to upgrade to OSX Yosemite, but i'm scared that upgrading to Yosemite will erase my Bootcamp partition.
    so, Will upgrading to Yosemite kill the partition? or will it save it, so that after Yosemite is installed, i can still dual boot into Windows 7?
    Thanks
    !Mister_Meh

    Also backup your OS X volume.
    Windows has built-in backup software. You could also try WinClone X.

  • Will update 10.10.1 mess up my BootCamp partition?

    When upgrading to Yosemite (10.10), my BootCamp partition was messed up and I had to reinstall BootCamp completely. Many people had this issue as well. Does anyone know or has anyone tried updating to Yosemite (10.10.1) from Yosemite (10.10) with a BootCamp and if so, does your BootCamp partition run fine?
    I just don't want to go through that hassle once again of reinstall Windows and all of my work in Windows. Any response will be appreciated. Thank you.

    I upgraded my Mac from 10.10 Yosemite to 10.10.1 Yosemite, with a BootCamp partition running Windows 7. So far, I have encountered no errors on my partition.
    Good Luck.

  • I guess I didn't explaine that I have a healthy operating Windows 8 Boot camp partition on my hard drive. When I upgraded to Mavericks I am no long able to access the bootcamp partition from the disk icon in system preferences; the Windows 8 works fine.

    On both Mini Mac and iMac 27" I am no longer able to utalize the Startup Disk icon in System Preferences; the Windows 8 on Bootcamp partition works fine if I close the Mavericks OX and select the Windows partition at bootup from the hard drive. My question is why don't the icon in System Prederences work anymore since I upgraded to Mavericks. Also, Users & Groups, Printers & Scanners icons no longer work either.

  • Will i lose my bootcamp partition on snow leopard if upgrading to maverick

    Hello, I have bootcamp with Windows 7 on Snow Leopard.  Will I lose the bootcamp partition if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Maverick?

    Hello everybody, I upgrade my macbook air minutes ago. The bootcamp partition is not accessible anymore When i hit the alt key on boot, the win start icon does not show. I disk utilities i see the partition as disk0s4. I think this is, because i resized the partition of mac and windows some time ago. Now it seems, that the maverick update didn't get that. Here is the partition view. Is there someone who might help me to fix this? Maybe with some terminal ****

  • Bootcamp drive detected as GUID, unable to upgrade to Mavericks

    Basically, last year I bootcamped my drive, all was fine, until I decided to try make some iOS apps, this requires xCode, which in turn now needs Mountain Lion or higher, so, I decided to upgrade to Mavericks, upon downloading the installer, it said 'This disk does not use the GUID partition map scheme' Which it in fact does, as multiple softwares have stated, but only Disk Utility claims it to be MBR. All of the guides to install Mavericks on MBR are for PCs and involve cracking the installer etc. Is there a way I can fix the drive so Mac OSX detects it as a GUID drive, I have heard of a program called iPartition, but I don't have the money to buy it for $75NZD as a student. For now I have resorted to using a virtual machine for Mavericks. To be clear, the problem is that Macintosh HD is detected as MBR instead of GUID, I do not want to reformat the whole drive to fix this.

    Would deleting the windows partition fix this?
    I doubt it. It sounds to me like the partition table is damaged. The only real fix would be to backup your data, repartition the drive, and then restore your backups.
    In the assumption you currently only have two partitions (one Mac, one Windows), I would do this:
    1) Use Disk Utility, SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone of your current Mac startup partition to an external drive, which would also need to be GUID and formatted as Mac OS Extended. Make sure the external has two partitions; one for the OS X clone, and the other for the next step.
    The cloning process will wipe out any existing data on the target drive. So make sure there's nothing on it you need to save, first.
    2) Purchase WinClone. Use it to backup your Windows partition to the second Mac formatted partition on the external drive. It will create a disk image of your Windows drive.
    3) Now boot to the clone and repartition the internal drive. Make sure that you do not choose Current in Disk Utility, even if you want just two partitions again. Change the drop down to 2 Partitions so it forces a rebuild of the partition map. Also, of course, make sure the partition map scheme is GUID, which you will be able to check after choosing 2 Partitions.
    You can make the second partition MS-DOS, which will be FAT32. Don't worry about the size. Even just making it 10 GB is fine.
    4) Clone the external back to the Mac formatted partition of the internal drive. Restart to the internal drive when done.
    5) Launch WinClone and restore the Windows backup to the FAT32 drive. The way any Windows restore works, it will always expand the partition back to the size it was, regardless of what size you made the partition beforehand. If Windows originally took up 100 GB of the drive, it will expand that 10 GB partition you made back out to the original 100 GB. It will also automatically make the drive format NTFS.
    Yes, time consuming, but I don't think there's any other way around it. There aren't any utilities I know of that can fix a partition map without a rebuild.

  • Upgrading MacBook Pro Hard Drive - cannot get Bootcamp partition to work

    Hello,
    The other day, I decided to replace my 320 GB hard drive with a 1 TB hard drive/SSD hybrid. I did a little bit of research about cloning the drive before that, and it seemed pretty straight forward to clone the OS X partition, but I wasn't really sure about cloning my Windows partition. Originally, my 320 GB hard drive had 2 partitions: 220 GB for OS X Mavericks, and 100 GB for Windows 8.1.
    I bought the new drive with an external enclosure and plugged it in. The first thing I did was open Disk Utility and partitioned the new hard drive (750 GB HFS+, 250 GB NTFS). I figured I would need to partition it first and clone each partition separately. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the OS X partition, and it worked with no problem (I immediately could restart my computer and boot with the partition on the new drive, while it was still plugged in by USB).
    Next, I tried using CCC to clone the Windows partition the same way (I realize now that CCC cannot do this). 7 hours later, the cloning was complete, but there was an error that a couple files couldn't be copied. I tried copying them manually but it didn't work. I wasn't sure if the Windows partition would work, so to find out, I switched the hard drives and put the old 320 GB one in the external enclosure. I booted my computer and it booted the new OS X partition with no problem. It also mounted the Windows partition that I cloned with CCC, and I can access all of the files in it. However, when I restarted and held down "option", it would not let me boot the Windows partition.
    After some googling, I realized CCC is not able to clone a bootcamp partition and make it bootable, so I opened disk utility and deleted the Windows partition (using the minus button), then recreated it (using the plus button). I downloaded Winclone (paid $30), which supposedly can clone a bootcamp partition. I opened Winclone and it seemed pretty simple: you just choose the source partition on the left, and the target on the right. I plugged in the USB enclosure with my old hard drive, and in the Winclone menu the original Windows partition popped up. I chose that as my source, and chose to copy it to the new NTFS partition on the new drive that I created. I left it on overnight, and when I woke up it said it was completed.
    I now had two drives mounted: my NTFS partition that I created, and a new one that said "EFI". I have no idea what EFI is. My NTFS partition looks like it has all of the files from my original Windows partition on it; however, when I restart it does not allow me to boot with it, although I now have the option to boot EFI. When I select EFI, I am given the Windows 8.1 start up screen (with the blue Windows logo), but then an error message pops up saying something like there is an issue and it needs to restart (it restarted before I could read the whole thing).
    When I boot in OS X, I only have the NTFS partition (with all my Windows files) mounted, and no EFI. When I restart, I can still boot EFI, but I always get the same message and then it restarts.
    Is there any way I can fix my Windows partition so that it works the same way it did on my old drive? What is EFI? Can I delete it? How can I make the NTFS partition, which seems to have all of my files, bootable? I only want 2 partitions: one for OS X, and one for Windows. Also, can I do all of this without having to reinstall either of the operating systems?
    Thanks

    Hmm, that's a good question!
    I headed over to the twocanoes website (the folks that make Winclone) and their guide mentions something about running Sysprep before you create the Windows image. If you skipped that step, that may be why you're having issues
    http://www.twocanoes.com/support/winclone/migrating-a-bootcamp-partition-with-wi nclone/
    Step 24 in that guide also mentions copying a Boot file - were you able to/did you do that?
    You may have better luck over in the Bootcamp forum, which is here.

  • Cannot delete bootcamp partition/free space on HD (OS X Mavericks)

    I am having trouble removing a bootcamp partition made a while ago. I thought removing this partition would be as simple as using disk utility to delete the partition, and extend the Macintosh HD partition back to its original size.
    However, after clicking the minus sign using disk utility I am now left with 51.24GB free space where the bootcamp partition used to be and cannot seem to do anything to bring the hard drive back to one single partition.
    I have tried using boot camp assistant, which is useless. I have to tick either "Install Windows 7" or "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple", and when I click to install windows 7 (which below says it can be used to remove an existing windows partition), it only lets me re-size the Windows partition to a smaller 20GB size. It does not give me the option to remove the partition like it says it does on the first page and like I have seen on examples online (which I am sure are from previous OS X versions).
    I have tried going to disk utility when booting from the recovery disk, however this does not give me the option to erase the entire disk then start again from a time machine backup; it only gives me the option to erase my current 268.48GB Macintosh HD partition, which wouldn't be any use.
    I have verified the disk and all seems ok. I am running OS X 10.9.1 on a mid 2010 Macbook Pro. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB Memory.
    Any help appreciated as I am running low on HD space on my mac and the extra 50 GB that I can't seem to free up would be very useful.

    Give this a try:
    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:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your external 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.
    3. 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.
    This will install the default version of OS X that came with your computer if it came with Lion or later. If it came with Snow Leopard, then you must do this instead:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         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.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    { launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef 
    Step 4
    ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Bootcamp partition issue after Yosemite upgrade

    I've installed bootcamp on my mac.  Later on I needed more space on my bootcamp partition and used some method to shrink the mac partition and increase the bootcamp partition.  This method worked fine until I did a Yosemite upgrade today.  Now I see that my bootcamp partition is gone and has reverted to it's original size.  Below is a screenshot of disk utility and outputs of the commands wanted.  I need help in recovering my bootcamp partition.  Thank you very much.

  • IMac partitioned for Windows 7 Pro.  Can I upgrade to Maverick without loosing Windows data?

    I am currently running 10.6.8 on my iMac (summer 2010) and have partitioned it to run Windows 7 Pro.  I would like to upgrade to Maverick so need to know if I will loose the applications and data on the Windows partitioned part of my iMac?  I can back up the data but not sure about all my applications.  Any help will be sooooo appreciated. 
    Thanks,
