Viewing OSX partition from Bootcamp

After partitioning my Hard drive (post installing my bootcamp partition), I was unable to boot from my Bootcamp partition. Which was fixed by following the instructions in this thread. After launching my bootcamp partition again I was unable to view my OSX and Storage partitions whilst on my windows partition.

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.

  • Viewing OSX partition from Windows

    G'day all
    Ok this may be a fairly obvious question but is Windows able (via any means) to view the data stored on my mac partition? When I load windows, I've got both partitions available however when I load windows I can't see the mac side of things. I presume this is due to the native HDD format that OSX uses but still, I want to be able to access files saved in OSX from Windows. Sure I can load OSX and transfer the files to the windows partition but that involves logging out, logging in, loggin out, logging in.
    Any ideas?
    Regards,

    The file system you refer to is hfs. Sadly you will need an app in the windows side to be able to use it.
    This app http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/ worked for me, i don't know how it will go in a bootcamp partition, but it should work fine.

  • HT5628 How do I read OSX partition from Windows?

    I am thinking of installing Windows 8 on my Macbook Pro using Boot Camp to create a dual boot system.
    If I do this, how can I access my current Mac OSX partition from within Windows? Does boot camp mount the Mac OSX partition automatically?
    If not, how can I share data between my Windows partition and Mac OSX partition?
    (Apologies if this is an elementary question, but I couldn't see an obvious answer anywhere.)
    Thanks.

    If I do this, how can I access my current Mac OSX partition from within Windows? Does boot camp mount the Mac OSX partition automatically?
    You can't access the Mac because it isn't running when you dual boot. You can purchase third-party software such as MediaFour's DriveOne to access the OS X partition. From OS X you will need a utility such as NTFS for Mac 10.0.2 or Tuxera NTFS 2012.3.6 to write to the Windows partition.

  • 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

  • Can't see random files on osx partition from Windows

    Has anyone noticed that not all files on the osx partition can be viewed by Windows? I.e. in \users\shared I have a directory with about 50 files, some of them don't show up when viewed from Windows on random basis, but if you boot up into OSX they are all there.
    This used to work fine with the origonal version of snow leopard. It only started happening after I updated the OS.

    Hi edwelch,
    maybe it has its reason in 'reserved character and words' used in the filename of the files you miss.
    Some characters/words are allowed in OSX but are not-allowed (reserved) in Windows and vice versa.
    Have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename

  • Accidently deleted Mac OS Lion Partition from Bootcamp on MBP

    I know this was stupid and I've learned to not do this again but I really need some help now. Whenever I try restarting, I can only see the Windows partition. There is no Lion HD partition or the recovery partition. I accidently deleted it on my MacBook Pro  from Windows with third party software (dumb, i know).
    It came with Lion preinstalled so I don't have the discs either. Its new so I'm not concerned about data loss but I really need to get the Mac OS back. I'm not even really concerned about losing the Windows partition.

    I for one don't understand lacking backups.
    Lion network install
    you may even have had EFI firmware update to improve
    there was GPT, EFI, HFS and NTFS along with Recovery
    you should see what is left now

  • OS X partition becomes corrupt after switching from Bootcamp

    So I've had to reinstall os x 10.9.1 no less than three  times this week and multiple times before in the past after switching between os x and windows 8.1. This usually happens after I've been using windows for a prolonged period then switch back to os x but it happened today after reinstalling os x from a time machine backup just yesterday. I'll switch between the two and os x becomes corrupt and begins the loading bar sequence after selecting the os x partition via the refit boot manager. I tried repairing the partition using disk utility from the repair partition and an external installation of os x 10.9.1 but every time the disk becomes corrupt and needs to be wiped and reinstalled or install a time machine backup. I've lost count of how many times I've had to do this and to make things even worse both of my external disks have become corrupt after being disconnected for two days while I sort this mess out. Does anyone else have similar issues or can locate an issue somewhere?

    Yeah I reinstalled osx 10.9.1 and installed all my apps, put everything back then used bootcamp to create a partition for windows then used wineclone to install my windows 8.1 backup. I jumped from windows > osx > windows > osx inside an hour to move around a few things and I forgot verify bootcamp after I installed the backup and that last time I booted to osx it was corrupted. I used disk utility from my external installation and the recovery partition and both times they need repaired which only came up with the backup and wipe notification window. There have been two occasions where I was able to fix the osx partition from my external osx installation and continue using osx quite perfectly but usually the partition becomes un-mountable after it fails to repair. Usually when this has happened the twenty something times before it's after a prolonged period of a few weeks using windows.
    I'm using refit boot manager and paragon NTFS 11 which may be the only software I've installed that could be corrupting the boot.
    SMART status is verified

  • I can't delete a partition from my Hard Drive using Boot Camp!!??!!

    Hello. Earlier today I installed Windows 8 to my iMac using boot camp and creating a partition. I've decided I don't like it, and want to remove it. I cannot delete the partition!! Help!!

    How are you trying to delete it? What happens when you try? There is only one way to remove a Bootcamp partition and return your drive to a single OSx partition, use Bootcamp Assistant and choose the menu option to remove Windows.

  • Can I install Windows 8.1 as Bootcamp partition from OSX Mountain Lion using a USB stick?

    I have the following:
    Bootable USB stick with Windows 8.1 - 64 bit
    MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.5 - it's probably 3-4 years old.
    The Bootcamp partition currently has Windows 7 installed.
    I want to know whether I can install Windows 8.1 from a USB stick into a Bootcamp partition. Apple's article on the topic refers to Bootcamp 5.1, but my OSX install has Bootcamp 5.0 - I am assuming 5.1 comes with the Mavericks version.  I don't want to upgrade to Mavericks because I am running out of space as it is on the OSX partition.
    Thus my question. So can I?

    Your laptop has a DVD drive, right? If so you need to burn your ISO to a disc, will not work off USB

  • Methods for backing up/cloning Bootcamp partition from inside OSX

    The key here is from inside OS X, not from inside Windows (XP).
    The only reason in the world I have to run Windows is because a Mac version of my accounting system doesn't exist. Well, there is also the fact that some companies still develop portions of their partner websites around IE instead of around open standards cough*CISCO*cough.
    Anyway, I have a bootcamp partition and the data on it is very important (accounting system!). I run it once, maybe twice a month and it's already slow enough as Kaspersky AV runs on every bootup so I don't want to add anything to the Windows bootup. I'm looking for a method of backing up (incremental capable) or cloning (incremental capable) my Bootcamp partition from inside OS X in conjunction with the other backups I do - well, now I use Time Machine so "the other backups I do" is moot, until I backup my Time Machine partition too (been bitten by the "backups not being there when you need them for some really random, unexpected reason" bug too before).
    It seems that most of the cloning tools I've tried can't clone or even backup FAT partitions. Anyone have any ideas, suggestions or previous experiences they wouldn't mind sharing?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hmm, functional but not exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the info though -
    - Is there a tool around that can do incremental backups instead of full backups every time it's run? WinClone 1.6b doesn't seem to be able to do incremental backups.
    - Is there a tool around that fits the above requirement, but can be scheduled (or even automator'd)? Automation is a good thing The more maintenance tasks we (users) have to do manually, the more there is to forget to do.

  • Created second partition in bootcamp Windows and converted whole disk from basic to dynamic

    Hi everyone. I don't post here often however I hope the following helps someone else down the road.
    I currently user ML and have bootcamp installed. I needed more space on my ML partition so decided to free up space from bootcamp. Going about this completely the wrong way I booted into my bootcamp partition, ran the computer management app and shrank my boot camp partition by 8 GB. This created free unused space which I decided to format over to NTFS with a view to booting back into ML, deleting and adding to my ML partition (how wrong was I).
    Prior to completing the format of the newly created free space in bootcamp I was presented with the usual 'yes' / 'no' warning dialogue saying something along the lines of 'formatting this disk from basic to dynamic will prevent any installed operating systems from booting'. I made three monumental blunders at this stage: a) not reading the dialoge box b) completely disregarding the severity of the warning in the diaglogue box c) (you guessed it) pressing 'yes'.
    The moment I pressed yes it was the start of a four hour feeling of grief as I thought of the last 6 years of my life wiped from below my nose with no time machine backup.
    Upon rebooting bootcamp to get into ML the reality of the situation hit home as no OSX boot, no apple logo, no boot sound, my mac is trying to boot into windows without the option key being held in or warning to present me with a BSOD.
    One thought in my mind: "oh Sh*t!!!"
    3.5 hours passes and much reading online, learning of linux commands, downloading of linux distros, finding out how to install software and successfully setup a bootable linux usb and I'm typing this up on my mac while I time machine my data away to a freshly formatted external drive. Many lessons learned.
    This is what I did amongst the vacating of my bowels and absorption of much nicotine.
    There are two pointers to this guide. I was lucky enough to have another computer at hand to conduct the research and create a bootable usb. It a windows 7 toshiba z930. So you're going to need at a minimum: another computer (windows for the guide), a usb stick 2~4GB should be ok.
    1) download a linux iso, I downloaded ubuntu, you can download what ever you like, but you're going to need linux (the rest of my mini guide will use ubuntu 13.10 during examples) http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=desktop&bits=64&release=latest
    2) download Universal USB Stick Installer 1.9.5.1 (from now on as UUSI) http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Ins taller-1.9.5.1.exe
    3) plug in your usb drive. make sure there is nothing on it that you need to keep as it will be formatted and lost. also plug your mac into a router connected to the internet. this will help prevent any issues with wireless drivers when booting into ubuntu later on.
    4) once the downloads are complete, run UUSI, get past the prompts until you get to the 'setup your selections page'
    5) (A) select 'ubuntu' from step 1. (B) browse to your freshly downloaded ubuntu iso in step 2. (C) tick show all drives. (D) select the drive letter of your usb in step 3. tick we will format *drive letter here*. (E) depending on the size of your usb set some persistent storage - I had an 8gb usb to hand so I set 1GB, less will probably do. (F) double check your settings and click create then let the program do it's thing, it can take some time depending on the speed of your usb drive, mine took 10 mins.
    6) safely remove the usb and plug it into your mac, turn the mac on and hold the option key, once the usb drive is found hit enter and select ‘try ubuntu without installing’
    7) wait for the ubuntu os to load and click the settings icon from the left tool bar
    8) under settings click user accounts
    9) click the + symbol in the bottom left hand corner
    10) select administrator from the account type box and type a name for your account then click add
    11) select the account and change the password, then confirm it and click change
    12) go back to the desktop and select the power off symbol in the top right hand corner and select your name from the list, this will log you out of your current session and ask you to log in under your newly created login
    13) once logged in click the settings icon again from the left hand menu and under settings go to software and updates
    14) in software & updates under the ubuntu software tab tick ‘community maintained free and open source software (universe)’ and ‘software restricted by copyright or legal issues (maintained)’ then click close and close the settings window. Also check at the bottom of this window under ‘installable from cd-rom/dvd’ for two entries ‘cdrom with ubuntu 13.10 ‘saucy salamander’ - uncheck on of these entries if both are the same. Not sure if this was just me or a common problem. I found that trying to do the apt-get update would run into errors at the end if one of the entries wasn't deselected.
    15) hold ctrl + alt + T to bring up the terminal
    16) in the terminal window type sudo passwd root then enter a password for the account
    17) in the same terminal window type sudo -i and enter the password given from step 16 if requested
    18) in the same terminal window type apt-get update and wait for the update to finish without errors
    19) in the same terminal windows type apt-get install testdisk and wait for the installation to finish without errors
    20) in the same terminal window type testdisk
    21) select create log and then the drive you want to work on e.g. your main apple OS hard disk then select proceed
    22) select your file system type - for my ML installation I had to select ‘EFI GPT’ I don’t know if this will be the same throughout all macs / macbooks
    23) select analyse, the step should take less than a few seconds and testdisk may report back errors with the partitions or it may proceed to the ‘current partition structure’ screen. If errors are displayed proceed past them until the next screen.
    24) at the ‘current partition screen’ select quick search, you will have an opportunity to backup your drive here. I won’t go through this step (never learn) as I did not complete it myself
    25) after the searching has completed all the partitions on the disk should be shown. Find your OSX partition using the size reference at the bottom by pressing the up and down keys. Once you have found the partition that relates to the OSX partition that is failing to start hit the right key to make it a primary partition a ‘P’ should show to the left of the partition data. I had to make sure my EFI System and Mac HFS (155GB) partitions were marked as primary.
    26) hit the enter key to continue to the next screen and use the right arrow key to select ‘write’
    27) the program will warn you it will write the partition table so hit ‘Y’ and a confirmation should be displayed that this has been successful.
    28) reboot the computer and remove the USB stick (i removed it at the white loading screen after the reboot, not sure if it makes any difference)
    29) allow the computer longer to boot, mine took about 35 seconds to show the apple symbol whereas it normally took between 3~7 seconds before I destroyed it.
    30) get into OSX and backup everything to time machine or whatever you use then it probably a good idea to kill off your bootcamp install and refresh your mac from the fresh backup.
    Hope this helps someone. I couldn’t find anything conclusive on the net when I ran into problems (all my own fault really for not reading the dialogues correctly) however I used bits from multiple forums and found out parts myself especially the linux parts as I don't know the os at all . Certainly won’t be making this mistake again anytime soon.
    Well I’ve had an awful night and have work in two hours but at least the last 6 years of my (now backed up) life is intact and in my hands. I’d rather lose a night of sleep than lose all my data.
    Sorry if some of the stuff above is wrong as I don't do this thing on osx / linux at all really. At least it might point you in the right direction.

I had to make sure my EFI System and Mac HFS (155GB) partitions were marked as primary.
    26) hit the enter key to continue to the next screen and use the right arrow key to select ‘write’
    27) the program will warn you it will write the partition table so hit ‘Y’ and a confirmation should be displayed that this has been successful.
    28) reboot the computer and remove the USB stick (i removed it at the white loading screen after the reboot, not sure if it makes any difference)
    29) allow the computer longer to boot, mine took about 35 seconds to show the apple symbol whereas it normally took between 3~7 seconds before I destroyed it.
    30) get into OSX and backup everything to time machine or whatever you use then it probably a good idea to kill off your bootcamp install and refresh your mac from the fresh backup.
    Hope this helps someone. I couldn’t find anything conclusive on the net when I ran into problems (all my own fault really for not reading the dialogues correctly) however I used bits from multiple forums and found out parts myself especially the linux parts as I don't know the os at all . Certainly won’t be making this mistake again anytime soon.
    Well I’ve had an awful night and have work in two hours but at least the last 6 years of my (now backed up) life is intact and in my hands. I’d rather lose a night of sleep than lose all my data.
    Sorry if some of the stuff above is wrong as I don't do this thing on osx / linux at all really. At least it might point you in the right direction.

  • IMac 27" (late 2011), Mountain Lion, Bootcamp, and OSX partition disappearing and refusing to mount

    Hey all,
    I'm putting this as a question in the discussion forms for bootcamp as I'm not sure where else to put it, but I resolved an issue I was having and having spent all of yesterday and the day before reading through this community and some others looking for answers and mostly seeing "hope you have backups, time to format!" (which to me is not always the best answer), I thought I would put it here for search purposes (with all the key words I had to use) in case anyone else has a similar issue.
    My scenario was this:
    2011 27" iMac with Mountain Lion installed and Windows 7 installed on a boot camp partition.
    1) Haven't been in windows in a while, wanted to play some windows only steam games. Load windows 7. All is well. Have fun. Time to reboot into osx.
    2) Reboot using bootcamp toolbar icon.
    3) Wander away from computer. Come back to find windows 7 has loaded again. "That's weird", I think. Reboot again, this time hold down option key to select boot device.
    4) Discover the only options are the Bootcamp partition and the Recovery partition. OSX "Macintosh HD" partition has disappeared. Huh.
    5) Load recovery partition and load disk utility.
    6) Review disk utility to discover the Macintosh HD partition shows up in the list, but won't mount. Run verify and repair tools. Errors are as follows: Invalid node structure, invalid key length, invalid record count, etc etc. Running a repair fails - disk utility advises me to back up and erase the drive and that the partition is unrepairable. No offense disk utility, but I think I'll try a few more options first.
    7) Purchase DiskWarrior on advice of multiple posters in other threads and general online consensus of it being capable of fixing these sorts of errors. Go through process of loading bootable dvd.
    8) Diskwarrior cannot see the Macintosh HD partition. This is bad. Review more threads. Advice is that if diskwarrior can't fix it, hope you have backups and wipe the drive. Likely to be hardware failure. I'm skeptical of hardware failure, because windows is chugging along running fine if I boot into it, and I ran a scan of the windows partition and it came back clean. SMART status is also showing the drive is ok. However, running out of options and starting to lose hope.
    9) Follow advice in this support topic: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1417?viewlocale=de_de Both safe mode and disk utility aren't options (safe mode won't work without it seeing the partition) so sounds like fsck is the final option.
    10) Start up in Single User Mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492). Run fsck per instructions. It reports back ok.
    11) Realize fsck is checking the recovery partition, and not my damaged OSX partition. Realize I don't know anything about unix commands and have no idea how to tell fsck to check a different partition.
    12) Learn that I need to find out what the drive id is for the damaged partition. Reboot, load up disk utility, select greyed out "macintosh HD" partition, click info. Write down the id: disk0s2 (likely to be the default for you as well if you have one drive in your imac and a default bootcamp install).
    13) Go back into single user mode and type the following (without quotes): "fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk0s2"
    14) (Forgot to copy down exactly what it said at this point, but gist of it was that the drive had errors and isnt repairable). Feel like ****, thinking this is unlikely to resolve itself nicely.
    15) With nothing to lose, try to force fsck to rebuild the catalog - "fsck_hfs -rc -d /dev/disk0s2" I found this syntax on some forums and can't find the thread again. I have no idea what the -rc and -d do that -fy don't, but if someone can let me know, that'd be cool. Either way, this resulted in something actually happening. Tells me it is "rebuilding catalogue b-tree". Still, finishes with a bunch of errors about improperly linked files, more node errors, etc etc.
    16) Retry "fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk0s2". It seems to be doing stuff now, even though there are lots of errors. Continue to re-run fsck using this syntax. Probably ran it 10-15 times. Takes over an hour. Finally, minimal errors being reported.
    17) Realize that perhaps I should try Diskwarrior again now, since I've managed to do soemthing to the partition with fsck.
    18) Run Diskwarrior from bootable DVD. Success! It now sees the damaged partition. Reports that it has a bunch of damaged crtitical files, and needs to be repaired, but hey, at least it can see it.
    19) Let Diskwarrior do its thing, and reboot.
    20) Boot from repaired OSX partition. Rejoice. Immediately plug back in the timemachine drive you foolishly unplugged to take away over the holidays and neglected to plug back in before you had commenced work on stuff you didnt want to lose through formatting, which is why you are so desperate to recover files rather than wiping and restoring from time machine backups and avoiding this whole mess.
    TL;DR - If Disk Utility and DriveWarrior fail you, try running fsck (using different syntax that apple recommends) as many times as it takes to get the partition to a stage where diskwarrior can see it. All advice I saw for similar questions was to erase, reinstall OSX, and restore from time machine backup. For those of you who are foolish like me and had files that werent time machine'd, or those who operate without, maybe try this.
    Hope this helps!

    What -rc & -d do.
    From: The fsck_hfs manual page.
    https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages /man8/fsck_hfs.8.html
    -d      Display debugging information.  This option may provide useful information when fsck_hfs cannot repair a damaged file system.
    -r      Rebuild the catalog btree.  This is synonymous with -Rc.
    -R flags Rebuilds the requested btree.  The following flags are supported:
                             a       Attribute btree
                             c       Catalog btree
                             e       Extents overflow btree
    I had the same problem as you but unfortunately "fsck_hfs -rc -d /dev/disk0s2" is failing saying: "The volume   could not be verified completely." I believe it's supposed to be telling me the partition's name (normally "Macintosh HD") between 'volume' and 'could' because there's 3 spaces in between the words.
    "fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk0s2" is failing with the same error.
    I tried "fsck_hfs -r -d /dev/disk0s2" since the c appears redundant with a lowercase R. and it again says it cannot be verified completely and adds "volume check failed with error 7". Which unfortunately is not documented on the fsck_hfs man page!
    Unfortunately for me, Diskwarrior still can't see my busted Mac OS partition.

  • Bootcamp OSX partition keeps corrupting

    I have a client that I have set up a Bootcamp system for with Mountain Lion/Win7.  This is a mid 2011 MB Pro 13", Core 2duo, 8GB RAM, 720 GB HD.  I set it up for him and the first night switching from Windows to OSX with the "option" key method at restart.  When selecting the OSX partition it started to boot then shut down.  I worked on the phone several hours with him and couldn't figure it out. 
    I picked up the MB Pro and reinstalled Mountain Lion and got it working again.  One week has passed and he just let me know that OSX will not boot again. 
    What could be the issue here?  HD failure is my first thought?  Any ideas would be most helpful.  Thanks in advance!

    It could be a drive hardware failure, or it could be other factors.  If the user is using the standard Windows 7 backup software, they could be corrupting their own MacOS partition by performing a test backup/restore.  If you or they have loaded drivers to give them write access to their HFS+ partitions, they could be doing many different things to corrupt the partition.  Using any windows based partitioning tools or drive maintenance tool might also be corrupting the drive. There are a very few windows based tools which actively support working with Mac HFS+ volumes, so using anything other than those could be the source of corruption.

  • Is it possible to resize a OSX partition without affecting a Bootcamp partition?

    I have a new SSD drive but its only 120GB. I want to clone the entire drivevbut I cannot do this since my original SSD was 128GB. My OSX partition is 60GB and my Bootcamp partition takes up the rest. I know you cannot resize the Bootcamp partition but could I resize the OSX partition down to 50GB without affecting Bootcamp from booting up? Resizing the OSX partition, I should be able to clone my old drive to the new drive.

    It doesn't matter how big a physical drive is. With a Mac partition, it also doesn't matter what the size of the source and target partitions are. The only thing that matters is if the amount of live data you're cloning will fit on the target drive.
    Your current partition is 60GB. I would imagine it's not filled to the last byte of space. So as an example, let's say there's 40GB of data on it.
    The target drive only needs to be a bit larger than that. Though preferably with a fair amount of free space so if you boot to it, the OS isn't running on a drive with virtually no operating room. So the target partition should be about 50GB.
    Unlike Windows, Mac partitions do not dynamically change size to match the source.
