Windows Partition No Longer Shows Up After Accidental Premature Closing of Camptune
Mac OS X 10.7.5
I was running Paragon Camptune to expand my Windows 7 partition. The progress bar reached the end and stayed there for about 30 minutes. The Camptune window was then accidentally closed and Camptune quit itself. I restarted the computer but the Windows partition no longer shows up when I try to boot it, only Mac OSX and Recovery Disk. The Bootcamp drive is no longer accessable from System Preferences, and the Bootcamp partition folder is no longer accessable in the Devices area of Finder. Camptune no loner recognizes that there was a partition. Thus, I am no longer able to access the partition's contents or delete it and make a new one.
It would be preferable if I could fix the partition and have it accessable again, however I have no problem with deleting it and making a new partition. Any advice? Thanks for your time.
Here is the information from the Partition Inspector:

Hi Eric,
Bootcamp does show up in the disk utility but it is grey instead of black like the Macintosh HD.
The following information is available:
Mount Point: Not mounted
Format: Windows NT File System (NTFS)
Owners Enabled: -
Number of Folders: -
Capacity: 274.55 GB
Available: -
Used: -
Number of Files: -
What might be the best way to continue to repair it. I do not have the option to click on "verify disk permissions" or "Repair Disk Permissions".
Should I clone the hard drive in the target disk mode??
I'm not the best at this stuff so any more advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Updated mavericks and now my bootcamp windows 7 partition no longer shows up
Hello and thank you in advance for the help!
This problem started when I updated my Mavericks. My start up into the windows side of my computer is normally a bit slow but works never-the-less. After installing the update to 10.9.5 my windows partition first gave a screen where it would ask me to press enter to get into the windows side of the computer but the keyboard did nothing so I restarted the computer. Thereafter, my windows 7 partition no longer shows up when I press option from start up or from system preferences > startup disk. I was able to find the partition on the target disk mode which leads me to believe that the partition is damaged somehow. I have some of my data backed up, but not all of it. What is the best way to make a data recovery and get my windows partition operating again?
I have also tried all the basics like PRAM and starting up from Safe mode but I cannot see the windows partition anywhere except for when I open the target disk mode from my other computer.
Thank you in advance for the speedy replies!Hi Eric,

Boot Camp Partition no longer shows in StartUp Control Panel
My Boot Camp partition no longer shows in StartUp Control Panel, but does show up using Option Key at startup. This started soon after the latest Parallels update. The Boot Camp partition seems normal and healthy in the finder. Once started via the Option Key, Windows XP-SP3 runs fine. Upgrading to BC 3.0 did not have any affect.
I've tried LOTS of troubleshooting strategies, including completely deinstalling Parallels. Deleting obvious preferences, etc.. No joy.
Any suggestions?Hi,
if I remember correctly Parallels installs some kind of file system driver to OSX to access NTFS files system partitions.
The 'case of the missing Windows partition' is widely spread when using these NTFS file system drivers in OSX.
(Others are NTFS-3G; Paragons NTFS for Mac and Tuxera NTFS for Mac).
To my knowledge there is no other remedy to this phenomenon then to deinstall the NTFS drivers.
But as long as the Option-key is working maybe you can live with it.
Or use rEFIt http://refit.sourceforge.net/ as a Boot-Menu.

A username no longer shows up after restart
For some reason, a username no longer shows up after restart. I have to login with another account, and then logout of that account. After logout (but not restart) the username shows up! any ideas?
Actually, while looking into your suggestions, I figured out what the problem was.
I had FileVault encryption turned on, and noticed on a FileVault preferences dialog popup that the user that wasn't showing up was not enabled to decrypt the drive. Thus, I had to login with an Admin user account (to decrypt the drive), logout, and then the user could login.
I turned FileVault off (since I no longer really needed it), and then the user account showed up. I suspect that enabling that user account to decrypt the FileVault drive would have worked as well.
Thanks for the tips, nonetheless! -
Windows startup disk not showing up after the boot camp is done partitioning.
OK, Boot Camp finished making a partition for windows on my SSD (I gave it 30GB), and it restarded my computer. I pressed the alt key so i could chosse the windows drive so i could begin the installation, BUT the option to open the windows drive was not there! The only otions I had was to startup from Mac OSX, Recovery Disk and a USB Flash drive Named Windows(I tried it previously but it didnt work because it didnt detect my mouse or keyboard). I the booted up from mac so i could make sure that the partition was created and it was. When i went on startup disk preferences on System Preferences the computer couldent detect a Boot Camp drive only the main Macintosh HD. What am I supposed to do?
I am using a Macbook Pro late 2013 13"
(excuse my English as it is not my first language)
EDIT: I do not have NTFS 3G or a similar program installed.a few things
what is your exact model mac? which windows are you trying to install?
i'm a fan of small windows partitions, but 30gb is too small unless you're absolutely sure that you will not use any major data consuming apps like music, video or gaming. also, you will HAVE to disable hibernation and the pagefile (google). the smallest we run is 35gb with 40gb being much better
does your mac have an internal optical drive? if so, you need to burn your windows iso onto a physical disc unless the newer 2013 macs let you usb install, which would be news to me
use only a usb2 flash drive -
How do I recover files from HP Connected Drive that no longer show up after a factory reset?
I am trying to recover files that were once visible in HP Connected Drive, after completing a factory reset. The files that I need are no longer showing up. How can I get them back?
Try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't erase the drive or write anything else to it until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

After HD change, Windows partition no longer boots up
Recently, I replaced my internal Hard drive on an early 2008 Macbook with a Solid State Drive. The original Hard drive had both an OS X partition and boot camp partition. I am currently using this drive as a external storage device (I did not delete anything, both partitions are still there with their respective operating systems) via a USB hard drive enclosure. Occasionally, I need to boot into Windows, but when I try to boot off the external drive, I get a black screen with a small blinking white line, and eventually, the error message that there is no bootable media. Please help!
Windows does not work from an external USB drive. It never has.

Windows partition no longer bootable
Last night, I was using Bootcamp fine through VMware Fusion, no issue at all. I shut the VM down correctly and closed VMware.
Later that evening, I was trying to copy files onto my iPad through iTunes and got the warning that I didn't have permissions to view the contents of that file – I checked file info, I do, and also transferred the same file to my iPhone no more than 5 minutes prior.
Just in case, I booted into the recovery partition on 10.9.2 and ran permission and disk checks. When verifying the entire disk however, I got the error "The partition map needs to be repaired because there's a problem with the EFI system partition's file system".
A repair couldn't be done on the live disk so I booted back into OS X and created a recovery USB. From this, I ran the repairs to the entire disk, and repaired the permissions and disk for my Mac HD partition, and then checked the disk again in the recovery partition and whilst in OS X – the error is no longer registering.
From here – I no longer have access to Bootcamp (natively, or via VMware). The partition is mounting in Finder, and viewable in Disk Utility. It even appears in the "Startup Disk" pref pane, however, selecting the partition here just results in a blank screen on boot.
Before I booted into the recovery partition using the "alt" key, the Windows parition was there. Since that error, it's no longer available.
I've not resized the partition, nor have I changed any disk sizes.
I did, however, run the following commands following the iTunes issue in an attempt to correct:
sudo chmod a+rx /volumes/*
sudo chflags 0 /volumes/*
I understand I can probably remove the partition and start again, but that defeats the point. Surely there must be a fix through command line or something?
I'm not a computer novice, but this field is a whole new ballpark for me. I'm googling for answers, but they may as well be in another language – the common notions seem to be a broken GPT or MBR/GPT out of sync.
Below are the results of various terminal commands – maybe someone could analyze and point me in the right direction?
Kind regards and thanks in advance,
Jamie

Moved my mac over to a new HD and my Windows Partition no longer boots.
Hello people smarter than me. I seek knowledge and skills I do not posses. I replaced my SSD with a bigger one going from 240gb to 960gb. The old one had two bootcamp OS partitions (Mac, Windows) and four partitions (EFI System Partition, Recovery HD make up the remaining two) I added a third (5th) partition that I labeled scratch (ExFat) that I intend to be a bulk storage for assets. Currently it will boot MacOS but not Windows 7.
My end goal is:

240gb [Bootable, NTFS, Windows 7, Winlandia-N]

Windows partition no longer available on startup disk tool
I can no longer see my Windows XP partition from the startup disk tool.
The WinXP partition was created with bootcamp, and it was visible ok on the startup disk. Now it is no longer visible, although it keeps working if I select the partition at startup using the Option (Alt) key.
I suspect the problem is related to the fact that I have installed NTFS-3g and MacFUSE to make the WinXP partition read/wirte, but I have no evidence that this could be the root cause of my problem.
Any hint?
Thanks,

Windows explorer no longer displays devices after ios 8 update
I recently purchased an IPhone 6 and IPhone 6 plus and noticed that they do not show up in Windows Explorer when connected to a Windows Desktop.
I recently updated 2 iPhone 5s and 2 iPhone 5, and noticed that prior to performing the IOS8 update, the devices appear in Windows Explorer as a storage device and I was able to copy all the photos from each of the device onto the Windows Desktop. After updating all of them to IOS8, none of them or the IPhone 6 show up as a storage device. Can anyone tell me if this is intentional or if this has something to do with the fact that the CAMERA ROLL was removed? I did read in other forums/news indicating that there are efforts to put CAMERAL ROLL back. In light of this, does anyone know if this will allow the devices to display in Windows Explorer again?
I don't have a major problem since I copied all the contents from the Iphone5 phones for backup prior to updating to IOS8, but kind of annoying if I have tons of photos on the phone and don't want to waste my time deleting them on the phone. I find it faster when using Windows Explorer to delete unwanted photos or add photos I want.I was having this problem too, even after updating to iOS 8.1
iPhone 6 plus was recognized by iTunes but not Windows Explorer.
Unplugged USB, unlocked phone (lock screen pin code or fingerprint) and reconnected to USB.
When prompted press Trust this computer and yippee the phone pops up in Windows.
The bit I had overlooked was unlocking the pin code on the phone.

Resizing Windows Partition - No Longer Booting
Whenever I attempt to setup a Windows/Linux Dual boot I get hit with this same dilemma. I start off with a NTFS format partition with Windows XP on it. As soon as I resize the partition, it no longer boots. Even before installing linux/grub. I defragmented before attempting this, and I took every precaution. In the end, I'm never able to boot my Windows OS. I can boot Linux from the Grub menu, and I can still access my Windows files.
As of now I've reformatted back to Windows. I would just like to know what went wrong because I want to attempt another install later on.Ward,
windows is weird in that it notes somewhere the block numbers where the system is installed, and when that moves
it does not boot anymore.
Now you are making life more complicated then necessary: if you still have windows resized and installed (and not booting),
you can use the windows install cd and go into repair mode. It will fix the resized windows.
If you are starting from scratch, before installing windows, start a Linux live CD, do not install it, start the program
"gparted" and partition your disk as you want it. Then install windows in one of the partitions.
Instead of the Linux live CD you can also use a Gparted stand alone CD:

Hope it helps.

Apps no longer showing up after download
I have quite a few apps on my Touch (165). The last three that I have downloaded through the device have loaded (I can do a search and find them), but they are not showing up anywhere on the Touch itself. I even tried hooking it up to my PC and redownloading them and still they are not showing up.
Any suggestions? Is there a limit to the number of pages you can have on a Touch?
Thanks.

I believe 11 pages is all the touch will show. Might want to remove a few apps...
