Windows Partition Problem.....

As I am sure you all have seen this many times before....I've tried looking at other discussion threads to help solve my problem but they either didnt have the exact same problem or I couldnt fully understand the answers.  Myself, Im rather inexperienced with Mac and its OS so Layman's terms usually work best with me.  Im running Leopard right now, whatever the latest version is; 10.6.8 I believe.  I'm trying to run a parallel now since something is apparently wrong with the sound on my XP disk when I installed it, twice.  This has been a long and drawn out process for me please bare with me, for I may ask some stupid questions....
Ok.
So I've deleted the Windows partition in Boot Camp Assisstant successfully, however, a version on Windows (named: Untitled) is still showing up in my finder and when I hold down the Option key on the start up.  I tried erasing it with Disk Utility, it looked like it started to do something, but all it did was remount it.  Now, when I try to go through BCA its gives me the message: "The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows." No clue as to what in THEE **** its talking about.  Of course I've tried ejecting it but it doesnt get rid of it nor does it gives me my 99GB of Mac OS back.
Be honest, did I **** up or did I **** up bad somewhere down the line while installing windows? And what (if anything) can I do?
Again, thanks for your time and help in advance.

Sounds like something went wrong when you sued the BootCamp Assistant to remove the Windows partition since usually that also reassigns the used diskpace back to OSX.
1) boot your Mac from your OSX install DVD
2) choose your language and then 'ignore' (cancel) the installation
3) from the Top Menu (Utilities) start Disk Utility (DU)
4) in DU click on your harddisk (not any partition) in the left pane (the first item listed)
5) in the right pane use the 'Partition'-Tab
6) click to highlight on the ex-Windows partition you want to delete
7) click on the small '-' Button at the bottom
That should delete your former Windows partition
After that's done successfully
8) Drag the partition separator line until it encompasses the entire drive and then select apply.
9) Quit Disk Utility
10) reboot your Mac from your harddisk.
Since you are 'fumbling' with your OSX partition you should consider having/making a backup of it before trying the a.m. procedure. Just in case.

  • Windows Partition Problems

    I have been trying for two days now to install Windows onto my MBP via Boot Camp with varying degrees of success. I wouldn't say the installation part is necessarily the problem, however. I set up a Windows partition through Boot Camp (25 GB) and installed Windows XP onto said partition. Once it's all up and running though, my partition appears to be practically full, despite the fact that by this point I haven't even installed the Windows drivers as provided on the Leopard install disc. Has anyone else run into this problem and have any solutions? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Using the Option key to get into OS X? when you do, be sure to set control panel Startup Disk to your OS X volume.
    Still has trouble? then zap pram/nvram with the old 4-finger command option p r thru 2 restarts (and starting from a cold boot).
    I was under the impression (and some have used Disk Utility to erase their FAT partition to HFS+) that you hadn't removed it with BCA which may have left some nvram boot argument (maybe Apple should warn to "set startup disk to OS X" though in order to delete/remove you have to have booted into OS X anyway...
    If it is no longer showing in Disk Utility, its gone, though sometimes you don't recover all the disk storage it used.

  • NTFS format partition problem - install Windows 8.1

    I cannot install Windows 8.1 from USB via bootcamp, on Mavericks late 2013 rMPB 15"
    When I get towards the end of the Windows Setup screen the Bootcamp partition is showing as not NTFS format
    There is no 'advanced options' to click, under the 4 partition options.
    I have pressed Option and tried installing through either the 'Windows' partition and the 'EFI' partition - both have the NTFS format problem.

    Just hit the 'format' button - looks like it might be working now

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

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

  • Problem removing a window partition

    today i installed window xp via boot camp, the installation seems fine all the way up until the step 'to install boot camp drivers'. after i inserted the Max OS X disc, it went thru the normal installation...etc. then towards the end i got the 'Found New Hardware Wizard' window and a second saying boot camp is finished. however, at this point the mouse is dead and i am unable to move it. i rebooted it a couple of times, still the mouse is disable.
    so, i boot back to Mac OS, open up Boot camp and decided to remove the window partition. i chose 'If your computer has a single internal disk, click Restore'...
    then i am at the 'restore disk to a single volume' with the status: partitioning disk spinning...
    when i created the window partition i used 15G and i have the unibody macbook with 250G. however, this window's been spinning for the past two hours. i really don't think this should take this long. is this normal?
    i do not want to re-install 10.5.5 and do a restore. what is the best way to delete the window partition? i suspect something is wrong with boot camp. what should i do?

    There are few things you need to make sure before you remove the federation, like permissions, TXT records etc.

  • 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.

    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!

  • IMac no longer boots up to windows partition?

    Hi,
    I have a problem where my I installed Windows 7 on my iMac and set it to automatically boot up to the Windows partitionwhen turning on the computer. Suddenly, it's not doing that anymore. It boots up to the Apple partition and when I want to choose partitions, I have to hold down "Alt" upon booting up. I've always had to hold down "Alt" to choose partitions so that's not a problem. The problem is it doesn't automatically boot up to the Windows partition, as I originally set it.
    Anyone encounter this problem and have any advice?
    Thank you.

    On OSX go to System Preferences the Startup Volume and reset your Windows 7 partition to be the default.
    On the next reboot it should automatically boot into Windows.
    A PRAM-reset http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1895 can be the cause of this behavior.

  • Using Boot Camp to install Windows XP: problems with display going blank

    I have a new Mac mini (early 2009) connected to an older NEC MultiSync LCD (VGA only) display through a KVM.
    I initially used the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter to make the display connection.
    All worked fine with Mac OS X, but when I attempted to use Boot Camp to install Windows XP (Home), the display would go blank with the display saying "no signal" at some point during the install and I couldn't get the mini's display back without power cycling the mini. Numerous attempts at removing the Boot Camp partition, re-partitioning, and retrying resulted in nothing but frustration. I typically had to force the mini to boot from the OS X install DVD or Mac partition to make the mini usable again.
    I have used my LCD display and KVM combination with a variety of computers running a variety of operating systems, including older Mac minis running both Mac OS X and XP, with no problems. And I intend to keep using it, so I wasn't going to assume the problem was there!
    After noting that Apple had already released a [firmware update|http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mini_DisplayPort_to_VGA_FirmwareUpdate] for this adapter to address "[possible intermittent flickering and compatibility issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3492]", I double checked that it was up to date--and it was. But, it made me suspicious that this adapter might have some more problems and be the source of the troubles I was experiencing.
    So, I got an Apple Mini-DVI to VGA adapter and tried that.
    No more display problems! Everything works fine with Mac OS X. Windows XP installed without so much as a flicker, and it works smoothly with my setup.
    I'm curious if I'm the only one who was affected by this problem?

    Restart your Mac while holding down the Alt/Option-key until you get to the Boot Selection Screen.
    Choose to boot OSX.
    Use the BootCamp Assistant to remove the Windows partition.
    Go to System Preferences then Startup Volume and rest the default to be your OSX volume.
    Reboot your Mac again.
    Follow the instructions from here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173 and use the BootCamp Assistant again to install Windows 7

  • Upgrading MacBook Pro Hard Drive - cannot get Windows 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? Should 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.

  • After creating partition, problems start

    I use Boot Camp Asst. and create a 32 GB partition. at the end of the process, I'm told to "hit the Restart key or hold the power key for a few seconds." Since i have no restart key on my MacBook, I hold down the power key. Then the system turns off. I turn it on again, and reboot. I get an error - osx shut down unexpectedly, do i want to report to apple. whatever. the space i allocated on the partition is gone from my free space, but if I go into BCA, it doesn't seem to know that i've already created a partition. things are screwy and i have to reboot from the Leopard disk and use Disk Utility to repair the disk.
    So, how do I get around this? I really want to use boot camp.

    I have it all fixed (except that the Windows XP system won't completely shut down or restart into any startup volume...I have to hold down the power button until shutdown, then start by pressing the start button).
    AppleCare tech, on two different calls, spoke of a bug in OS X (10.5.2) that is causing the partition problem described by me and others in this thread.
    The solution (assuming that you don't have a Windows partition yet) is to install OS X (10.5.1). Don't do any software updates to 10.5.1 until you've completed the Windows install using Boot Camp Assistant.
    Remember to have backups.
    I didn't exactly follow the solution directly. I reinstalled Tiger 10.4.11. Then I installed 10.5.1 as an upgrade. The reason for this is that I was not warned by AppleCare tech that a 10.5.2 install using "erase and install" would delete the entire iLife '06 suite. I lost iLife '06. That's why I reverted to Tiger before attempting the Leopard and Boot Camp installations.

  • Can't Mount Windows Partition in OSX After Upgrading to 10.5 and BC 2.0

    I just installed Leopard today, using the upgrade option (as opposed to a clean install). I was happy to see that I could boot into Windows still, and installed all of the Boot Camp 2.0 drivers while booted into Vista. However, I can no longer mount my Windows partition in OSX. While using Tiger, I did use MacFuse and ntfs-3g to get read-write support, but in Leopard, I can't even read. When I try to mount the Windows volume in Disk Utility, I get an error stating that it cannot be mounted. I also do not have the option to perform "First Aid" or "Repair" on the volume.
    I realize that the latest version of ntfs-3g isn't proven to work with Leopard, but I would at least like read access in OSX. Is it possible that some settings were left over from my Tiger configuration that would not allow Leopard to mount the partition? Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Ok. I'm in the club with the same problem...
    Strange things:
    * For the first days after Leopard's install, my BootCamp disk0s3 partition (I'll name it "BillGates") was mounted correctly. Then, after a few days (but BEFORE upgrading to 10.5.1), it disappeared.
    * If I launch DiskUtility "BillGates" is shown, but (in the right device navigation bar) it's named "-n BillGates". If I click the Erase menu, it's named "-nBillGates" (without the space between "-n" and "BillGates"). If I launch SystemProfiler it's named "-n BillGates", but the mount point is "/Volumes/billgates". Can't understand where this "-n" thing is coming from!
    * If I try to mount "-n BillGates" from DiskUtility it doesn't work and the log says "Mount of -n BillGates failed".
    * In the FSTAB there were no instructions: it was empty.
    Now, I tried the MacFUSE-solution: no results (meaning BillGates was not mounted on startup).
    I tried the modify-the-FSTAB-solution: no results (with "BillGates", "-n BillGates" nor "-nBillGates".
    I tried the chkdsk-solution: all tests were ok, but nothing happened.
    The only trick that worked was mounting the partition with Terminal's commands (thanks rtracy!!). It made appear "BillGates" on the desktop (without the "-n thing", that is still present in DiskUtility).
    Problem is at the first reboot, the Boot Camp partition disappears again. Any ideas for a permanent fix?!
    Giangiacomo.
    ADDENDUM: I've tried to move a file from desktop to an unlocked folder in BillGates and System did not copy them. "The item could not be moved because "BillGates" cannot be modified" !!!!!!!!

  • How can I get my Windows Partition to be a startup disk?

    I have Tiger 10.4.11, I had boot camp, Running Vista, Just fine for months.
    I recently had a problem, within vista which caused a problem with the hard drive/master boot record which wouldn't allow Vista to boot anymore and actually reported "missing operating system".
    Previously if I did nothing, after powering on my MacBook, it would default to the Windows partition and start it up (Vista).
    Of course I could change this from the "startup disk" applet from within Tiger or I could use boot camp from within Vista.
    I have since been able to fix my Vista related startup issue, however at present the MacBook is booting into Tiger by default.
    I can HOLD the OPTION key and select either OS.
    From the "startup disk" applet within Tiger, it no longer shows "Windows" as a startup option which seems to be an indicator of a problem with Tiger of how it sees the hard drive and/or partition.
    I ran disk utility, no change.
    How can I make Windows appear as an option in the "startup disk" applet within Tiger?
    I can use Boot Camp within Vista, to select the "Windows" disk to restart from, and that works, but I would like to restore full functionality to Tiger.
    Thank you and please advise,
    Joe

  • Can I run adobe master collection in a windows partition on a basic mbp 13" with only the intel chipset?

    can I run adobe master collection in a windows partition on a basic mbp 13" with only the intel chipset?
    I want to install 16 gb ram but I don't think I can change the lack of video card. I wanted this basic machine because it has fairly long battery life. I don't need or want retina at this time. My model is the mid 2012 model. I am running the adobe collection for mac, I want to run the windows versions. Is it possible? What is the most ram I could access using something like fusion 5, assuming I could get fusion 5 to work? would it refuse to run because of the intel chipset and lack of video card?
    If I'm wrong and there is a way to add a video card to this model, could some version of fusion and windows 7 access more than 2 gb operating ram?
    What  cost would I be incurring, and would it be cheaper to buy a windows laptop with more ram than I could access via a virtual machine?
    I want to work on a client's work in the windows versions of the creative suite, with occasional usage of after effects for windows, and to use some web plug-ins only available in windows versions, and to try some windows-only video and audio software.
    thanks for any suggestions. While many people have told me I can run everything on my macbook, I am concerned about what I think is a limited amount of ram that can be accessed over the virtual machine partition softwares, and I don't know if what I want to attempt is actually possible.
    My mbp os is 10.8.2 on a 2.5 GHz intel core i5 4 gb 1600MHz DDR3 with 500 hard drive. the basic 13" mid 2012 machine.
    I'm hoping to install 16 G of opertating ram to allow more adobe programs to run concurrently- just when I am working on the mac side.
    also, off track but, for years I have wanted a small  machine that is more easily portable than my 15" machines. I have only had this used machine for a few weeks, but already I have been very satisfied and used it for presentations at clients. I don't want an air because I really want the dvd burner and player. No matter what apple says about wireless, there are decades of legacy work stored on optical discs all over the world, and I don't want to be unable to open something at a client's office because I don't have a dvd drive. Additionally, I have very large files I want to transfer via ethernet or firewire so that the transfer will take less time and be more secure than wifi. I resist apple's trend to make every machine a disposable toy that is viable only a year or so. I have read reviews that label the mbp it a poor value compared to the air. If all you need to do is text and communicate via wifi, many devices will sufice, and an air is certainly the most elegant. But what about the cost of large ssd's and protecting the drive against damage from shock? I want to be able to move this thing around and the small size is much safer inside my padded bag when I sit in narrow airplane seats, crowded trains and other congested spaces. I am much more likely to be able to borrow a large screen in a client's office ( with the use of one of the three adapters I had to buy) than to be able to borrow a dvd drive that has drivers for mac os 10.8.2. I suspect this may be the last generation of machines that have optical drives and ethernet, and that was why I purchased it so that I could continue to do work into the next few years. I am impressed by the retina display, but I need long battery life. And as beautiful as the retina display is, it is even more of a problem when trying to cross platform with the windows world. I wish I could infuence apple to do a trial product flow for a machine designed to work with 80% of the business world that uses windows. How spectacular that would be. With all their expertise and adept hardware design, to create a machine that cross platforms better than a windows machine itself works? Now that would be an accomplishment.  Instead of 8 or 9 percent of the total computer sales, why not aim for a higher percentage? Smart devices will keep moving toward portable computers in power, anyway.

    Fusion should work on your machine and if you put 16 GB of RAM in (see http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_160 0MHz_SDRAM), Fusion can access a good portion of that. Also, in a Virtual Machine, the guest OS is presented with Fusion's video card emulation, not what's in hardware on your Mac. Of course, finding Windows 7 now that Win 8 has been released could take some doing and the Win 8 Pro upgrade price is supposed to jump to $200 the end of the month. Add that to the price of Fusion and the extra RAM and you're beginning to get into the realm of low end real PC's.
    As to cross platform, I assume you're aware of BootCamp (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461).

  • What program for backing up my windows-partition?

    hey. i recently made a new partition using boot camp assistant.
    its formatted as ntfs with windows 7. the problem is, i need more space.
    the logical thing to do is to clone the windows-partition from os x, then delete it.
    this way i could just make a new one with more space, and restore the image i cloned earlier.
    ive seen many giving winclone a chance for this specific job.
    i also tried winclone, but i encountered a problem which is (according to many people) due to the fact that
    winclone has certain issues/problems with cloning a partition with windows 7.
    after around 20 seconds into the cloning process, i get an error message.. probably
    because of what i mentioned above.
    a quotation "Winclone on Snow Leopard (10.6) has an issue cloning Windows 7 (NTFS) partitions. Disabling compression in Preferences may resolve this."
    i would like to check in the preferences of winclone to see if disabling this compression might do the trick,
    the only problem is - i cannot locate any preferences.. anywhere. how come?
    and, is there a better and just as simple alternative to winclone out there, to pull this job?

    Your question is a Windows question really and has nothing to do with a Mac or OS X. You may find some help in the Boot Camp forum though. Click Apple Support Communities they type Boot Camp.
    Good luck.
