Windows partition unmountable after Win8.1 update

I've run into an interesting snag after running the Windows 8.1 update on my MacBook Pro 7,1.
After installing the update, OSX no longer recognizes the Windows partition on the drive. I can't mount it or access any files, but when I access the Boot Camp menu when I boot I can see the Windows drive there.
However, booting to it had become impossible. Either I can't get to it at all (Freezes at the boot menu), or Windows will crash after about 5 seconds into it's boot process.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
I realize that my model of MacBook Pro is technically not supported for Windows 8 installs, but Windows 8.0 ran (relatively) bug free, whereas 8.1 will not boot at all.

I also cannot see my Bootcamp disk when in Mac OS, after an upgrade to Win 8.1. Everything else seems to work fine though.

  • [SOLVED] NTFS partition unmounted after suspend to ram

    I recently did a from-scratch installation after I bought an SSD to replace of my old harddrive. Since this fresh install I have been having a problem with an NTFS partition that is mounted by way of fstab (it's not _the_ windows partition just a bit of shared space on a dual-boot setup): Whenever I suspend the computer and bring it back up, the NTFS partition is invariably unmounted.
    The mount point is empty and the mount command makes no mention of the mount. A simple "sudo mount /mnt/SAND" will bring the partition back up again although sometimes it needs to be umounted first (the mount point is still empty despite the 'mount'). Here is the fstab line:
    /dev/sda3 /mnt/SAND ntfs-3g defaults,noatime,uid=1000,gid=100 0 0
    Testing and screwing around I've noticed that if the WINDOWS partition is mounted using nautilus (as it is not mentioned in fstab) that too will be unmounted while a non-root ext4 partition (UBUNTU) is not.
    So my hypothesis is that these NTFS partitions are singled out for unmounting when suspending (but apparently not mounting when reawakening?) -- maybe because they are assumed to be external drives? Given that it happens across mounting solutions (fstab/nautilus) I'm inclined to think it's not a bug?
    At any rate I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to stop the unmounting when suspending -- ideally for all internal drives, secondarily for these specific partitions. I have checked the suspend to ram article on the wiki but it doesn't seem to mention anything about unmounting...
    EDIT: After the Great Big Arch Switch To Systemd this problem no longers occurs on so I'm closing it. Not necessarily much of a solution to anyone who happens on this from google, sorry.

    Hi all,
    It seems that most freezes are gone with:
    - 270.29 beta driver
    - MTRR enabled by appending enable_mtrr_cleanup mtrr_spare_reg_nr=1 to the list of kernel options (see http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpos … tcount=39)
    I didn't investigate further to  know if both the driver and the MTRR trick are required.
    Thanks a lot,
    Aurel.

  • Is my (Boot Camp) windows partition safe after installing OS X Lion ?

    I work with a mac and i have an Windows partition only to work at home for my company (i do not keep documents of photo's there).
    I want to install OS X Lion, but i am affraid that my windows partition will be gone after installing OS X Lion.
    Apple support can not guarantee that my partition wil be safe.
    I dont have data saved in my Windows partition. I have this partition just to work from home, so the data is not the issue.
    I want to know that my partition wil be safe after installing OS X Lion, because i do not know how to make a new partition.
    What can i do to keep my Boot Camp partition up and running after installing OS X Lion ?
    Who can help ?

    I also was concerned about the early reports of 10.7 altering the Boot Camp partition id. I took The hatters advice and used the cloning method on two different MBPs (Vista & Win 7) with no problems at all.
    FYI, below I have provided the steps I used to accomplish this process.
    Use Yasu and Diskwarrior to prepare the existing Mac OSX 10.6.8 HDD partition.
    Clone or update by smart clone to an ext HDD with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Restart from the cloned ext HDD and select it as the startup volume via System Preferences / Startup Disk.
    Install 10.7 Lion on the cloned ext HDD
    Install Lion 10.7.2 update on the ext HDD
    Restart the OSX 10.7 ext HDD and test and adjust the preferences if needed.
    When satisfied, clone the OSX 10.7 ext HDD back to the existing Mac HDD.
    The Boot Camp partition will not be altered as to drive id which appeared to cause problems for a few people.
    The recovery partition will be on the ext HDD and can be used for trouble shooting.
    A more convenient way to have the recovery/reinstallation environment is to create a Lion install USB thumb drive.

    PART 2
    It is very hard to just wreck a BC Partition. You can wipe the whole drive (Disk Utility) or you can erase it using BC Assistant (from your Mac Side). Otherwise it pretty much never happens. You say that you are un-tutored in BC, well HERE is your tutorial http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_do_i_install_windows_xp_on_my_mac_using_boot_ca mp_1.html
    Lion is the most work-intensive OSX that Apple has ever released, (just in case you have not heard) so if you hate learning how stuff works, and how to fix software problems then you need to read these forums a LOT to see if Lion is a good choice for you....

  • Windows Partition gone after updating to Yosemite

    Hello I have recently updated to Yosemite and was unaware of the bug that causes the partitions to disappear.
    I have read threads and the steps are way too difficult to understand and all i see is coding and other things.
    If anyone could help please (step by step) in a simple way.
    Windows 7 Partition shows up as disk0s4.
    Macbook Pro 13' in 2012.
    Have downloaded TestDisk but have no knowledge in how to use it.

    And I have a couple of questions to the steps below:
    1. Delete the old entry and create a new entry at GPT#4. (Is this step done in testdisk? If it is, what are the steps to get to this step?)
    sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
    p
    d
    4
    n
    4
    86923264
    538218489
    0700
    p
    w
    y
    2. You will need to reboot after the change, because the disk you are booted from is the one being modified. Reboot will rebuild disk0s4 using the start/end you entered.
    3. Run the dd command - sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk0s4 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump -C and check that the first line contains "R.NTFS". (Done in testdisk?)
    4. This is a tedious process and you want to check after the second 'p'rint command that it looks reasonable, before the 'w'rite and 'y'es to confirm. (Testdisk?)
    5. Once you a working GPT#4, a new hybrid MBR needs to be created which will overwrite what you see in your Fdisk output. This is also done using GPT Fdisk (Gdisk). (Download link to Gdisk?)
    6. a. Test 1 - Can you see your Bootcamp volume in Finder.
        b. Test 2 - Can you files in the Bootcamp volume?
        c. Test 3 - Can you see Bootcamp in your System Preferences -> Startup Disk.
        d. Test 4 - If Test 1-3 are successful, select Bootcamp and click on Restart. You may need Windows startup repair, if you see a hanging underline cursor at the top left corner of your screen. In most cases, it is not required.

  • IPhone 4 not connecting to any computer, Mac OS or Windows, or iTunes after ios 7 update

    Hello Apple community,
      I desparately need help connecting my iphone 4 to iTunes so I can restore my previous iPhone4 backup that is on my windows laptop computer.  It used to connect perfectly to my windows 7 laptop with iTunes, but after ios 7 (and subsequently 7.1) update, it no longer connects to windows, iTunes (yes latest version), nor shows in Windows device manager.  (yes, I tried repairing, updating, and re-installing apple usb driver + iTunes.  Win7 is totally up to date too)
    How did it all start?
    1. The phone completely went dead after trying the ios 7 update (with full battery charge). Previously, the iphone 4 worked PERFECT on ios 6.  So, I went to apple store, and they connected it to their laptop at the Genius Bar and performed a fresh ios 7 install.  So, I had a fresh working ios 7 phone WITHOUT all my previous data.
    2.   No problem?  I'll just go home and use the iTunes backup file on my win7 computer to restore all my files.  However, this iphone4 won't connect to my laptop or any other computer at all.
    Current Status:
    A) iPhone4 battery only charges if phone is completely off and plugged into the Wall-electrical-outlet charger.
    B) no usb data connection regardless of computer type (Mac or Windows PC) and different usb cables were tried.
    C) When plugged into my iHome alarm-clock and music player, the iPhone4 can be controlled by the iHome's menu buttons (play, rewind, fast forward, time sync, plays the iphone4 music through the iHome speaker, etc).  Also, the iPhone4 does not charge as before because the phone is still powered ON.
    D) An iPhone repair technician confirmed the phone battery and female-charge-docking connector work fine because he swapped those parts for new ones and phone still had the same problem.
    The only thing that changed on this iPhone 4 was the ios 7 update.  How can so much go wrong by just updating to ios 7 and do any of you apple gurus have any idea how else to fix this problem?

    I am having the same problem. I can not seem to find any fix. I have tried everything my computer said to do. I am out of options right now. any help?

  • Windows partition missing after Yosemite installation

    I installed Yosemite and now the Windows bootcamp partition is gone.  This is  a problem since I do most of my work there...  For reference MacFUSE was installed on my computer prior to Yosemite installation (not sure if it matters)  Anyway, after looking at various posts here, I ran the following commands and found the following (none of which solved my problems) below.
    I am stuck at looking for R.NTFS in the hexdump - just not seeing it.
    Where should I go from here?  Is there any hope?

    I installed Yosemite and now the Windows bootcamp partition is gone.  This is  a problem since I do most of my work there...  For reference MacFUSE was installed on my computer prior to Yosemite installation (not sure if it matters)  Anyway, after looking at various posts here, I ran the following commands and found the following (none of which solved my problems) below.
    I am stuck at looking for R.NTFS in the hexdump - just not seeing it.
    Where should I go from here?  Is there any hope?

  • Windows XP crashes after Reader 9 update!

    Last week, one of my PC's died.  I restarted it one day, and after the usual boot sequence and the Windows XP Flag, all I got was a black screen.
    I had to restart it to get away from the blank screen, and Windows offered me the option of safe mode, last working configuration, etc...  I tried the last working config, but no improvement.  I remembered the Adobe had been the last update I'd noticed, so I tried to uninstall it in Safe mode, but it reminded me that I can't uninstall in Safe mode.
    I finally gave up, backed up any important files, and reinstalled Windows XP (reformatting the drive).  Obviously, you can't live with Reader, so I downloaded it again.  When it updated, it killed XP again!
    Does anyone know of a way to uninstall Reader 9.1 or something else in Safe mode?  (since that's the only way I can boot up now)
    Also, any idea why this is happening?  It's not a cluttered Registry or anything because the Registry is about as blank as it can be!
    Thanks!

    I had exactly the same. Running Reader 8.1 for some months, yesterday I couldn't open a PDF file. Adobe reader 8. error message. I tried to repair it. No luck. downloaded Reader 9, installed and rebooted. My c drive was totalled. A complete day to try and run XP. No chance. Adobe reader killed my XP. Luckily I run a twin drive system so have swapped the C-drive with the E-drive.
    In all my years of computing - starting with a ZX81 - i have never had such a disaster.
    This is a moajor flaw in Reader 8 or 9. Why does it need to go deep into the OS?
    If I can't find a solution, I will have to re-format the drive after  moving all my software to another drive.
    Message to Adobe - If it ain't broke don't fix it with yet another bloated version of reader. 
    I believe you know about this problem and I suggest you should tell me how to repair my C drive without having to format the whole drive.
    not very happy,
    yours,
    webwriters

  • Anyone else on Windows having troubles after the last update?

    After getting the last update on my Windows computer of iTunes and QuickTIme I am getting the error:
    Anyone else having this problem and how do I get help for it. It's annoying that it happens on each startup of my computer!
    I'm running an i5 intel dell using Windows 7 Pro.

    I am using an IPhone 4 and have been struggling with trying to keep my battery up since the last upgrade.  Also, my Itunes and my AppleMobilDeviceService hog my CPU.  Even without my iPhone attached, AppleMobilDeviceService runs at 99%.  When I kill it, ITunes then runs at 99%.
    When I 1st contacted Apple they wanted to try to sell me more Apple Care. When they realized my phone was under warranty, I was told to go to the Apple Store to get the problems resolved.  At the Apple Store, I was told they could not do anything to my phone or I would loose everything.  I was then instructed to to remove ITunes and reinstall.  Then proceed to backup my phone and reinstall the software as new.
    I followed their advice, but after the ITunes reinstall, the CPU issues were the same.  ITunes indicates it is syncing my IPhone, but in actuality it hangs. (I left it in this state for 6 hours to ensure I was not getting impatient)
    I grabbed a netbook that had an old version of ITunes installed, and it work OK; but with the exception that If i sync my data from my iPhone, i will loose everything.
    I have consumed hours trying to work around this Apple software bug.  At this point, I am thinking I know why Steve Jobs left the ship.  I am frustrated with Apple and their inability to quickly resolve issues.
    Maybe others are too?

  • Satellite L850 - after WIn8.1 update WLAN indicator lamp is always on

    After updating from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 the amber wireless indicator lamp is always on, even if wireless function is off.
    The key to turn airplane mode on or off doesn't work.
    Wireless is working anyway perfectly and turned on or off with the mouse.
    Is there a solution to make it work as before the updating?
    Thanks

  • IPhoto 09 (8.1.2) - Only shows blank window/no pix after iTunes/iOS4 update

    Before updating to iTunes 9.2 and iPhone iOS4 (iPhone 3GS) my iPhoto 09 (8.1.2) was functioning perfectly. I have hundreds of photos and no issues with importing or displaying of photos on the Macbook.
    I updated to iTunes 9.2 so I could download and update my iPhone 3GS to iOS4. Once I did that update my iPhoto install has been trashed.
    Now, when I start iPhoto I get an empty two column window with no thumbnails or event folders in the larger white window column and no events/faces/last import/etc in the smaller grey left column. The two window columns exist but they are empty, no text, to pictures, nothing.
    I verified that the picture files exists within the iPhoto Library subdirectory under ~/Pictures.
    I tried starting iPhoto while holding command+option and then rebuilding the database. Also tried rebuilding small thumbnails. Nothing worked. iPhoto still starts into a blank window and there is no way to look into pictures or events manually. Even using toolbar drop down menus.
    Software Update shows no updates available so I am guessing this is a new problem or something they haven't fixed yet.
    When I start iPhoto, I get this console message:
    7/12/10 12:45:44 PM iPhoto[1039] * -[FlippedViewTextView setFont:]: nil NSFont given.
    When I starting clicking the main drop down menus in iPhoto I get:

    Ideas?

    Perhaps a full repair permissions is necessary or something..
    That's what one of the options in the iPhoto rebuild did. Create a new library, add a few photos and see if all is well. If so log into another user account on your Mac and try iPhoto there.
    If iPhoto works OK in the other user account and in the new library your library is damaged and the repairs are not working. If iPhoto doesn't work in the other account nor the new library a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to first delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder, reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came on and reapply the latest updaters.
    If iPhoto works in the other user account but not in the new library then there may be another preference files in your account that could be the culprit. Here's how to check that out:
    Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard/Snow Leopard
    1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
    2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
    3 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
    NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
    4 - If the problem is fixed:
    A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
    B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
    C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button.
    Click to view full size
    5 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

  • No toolbar and nothing on bottom of page to show me my other open windows.at all after firefox auto updated on it's own w/out even prompting me as usual.

    new firefox autoupdated instead o asking me as usual. ( soubds similar to other ppls prob., but w a twist or two. now no toolbar, so ur answer to click bookmarks or whatever doesn't help me n there is no sidebar. also, i no longer can see which other windows i have open at the bottom of the page so i can switch back w/out minimizing the current window. the url box doesn't show until i move the cursor over that top area. i love firefox, but w this and the older version locking up my computer on occasion and not disconnecting from the internet idk what's going on at firefox to cause subpar performance and causing near strokes or heart attacks in ppl.

    Your Firefox may have been in full screen mode. You can switch between full screen and normal mode using the F11 key.
    Do you have the orange Firefox button (abbreviated two-column menu) on the title bar? If you prefer the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key, and use View > Toolbars > Menu Bar to restore it. You can also use View > Toolbars to turn other toolbars on and off.
    Do you want to describe these problems in more detail?
    # Freezes and crashes - any pattern to them?
    # Not disconnecting - what do you mean?

    i have a problem with safari crashing since 3.0.4. as well. i'm on vista and safari crashes whenever i navigate to certain webpages. it never crashed with the 310A18, but since 310A29 is happens. it for example crashes whenever i navigate to merriam-webster (http://www.m-w.com/) - and i mean, this is certainly not website related...
