OS X :: Partition Hard Drive Back To 1 Partition?
Jul 30, 2009I had my hard drive partitioned into 2, where one was mac the other windows xp. I received this macbook as a gift from my sister so i wanted to reformat everything into mac. I popped in the Mac OS x install cd and just installed it. Now there is two hard drives and I am not able to re-partition it where i can bring it back to one again...I was suppose to delete windows first before re-formating my macbook.

Jul 15, 2009I really need to free up space on the windows partition of my Mac so that I can install certain software I need in order to complete a project due really soon. What would be the best way to accomplish this (I'd rather not increase the partition w/ a third party app)? I was thinking the best is to eliminate unnecessary files that I am pretty certain were installed as part of the Vista install so that I can recover as much HDD space on the windows partition as possible, but don't know what I can eliminate safely? Can someone please offer some ideas and very basic steps of where to find any of the items you reference?

Apr 5, 2012I have messed around with using bootcamp and and disk utlity to create partitions for Ubuntu. I decided to erase the extra partition and give all the space back to my macintosh HD. I go to the partition tab in disk utility and drag the macintosh box to fill the whole box and then hit apply. After a few moments I then recieve the error saying: "Partition failed with the error: Couldn’t modify partition map because file system verification failed." I ran a verfiy disk on my macintosh hd and then recieve these errors:
Invalid volume file count
(It should be 545026 instead of 544821)
Invalid volume directory count
(It should be 140857 instead of 140673)
[code]....
Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the Mac OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility. I then command R while boot and repair the drive. Tried resizing the partition again and same error. I have spent some time googling what people have done but find this problem occuring with alot of people upgrading to Lion or something. I'm on a 2011-late macbook pro that came with lion. I have tried things such as doing the Lion restore and booting in command S and typing fsck -fy for a repair. Nothing work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows On Mac :: Getting Hard Drive Space Back - After Deleting Boot Camp Partition
Dec 27, 2009I recently got rid of a partition I had made for bootcamp since I never use it, and would rather have the space back. I deleted the partition through disc utility, and then through the partition tab, tried to get back that space by dragging down the tab to restore the space originally set for the partition. When I go to apply this change, it notifies that my hard drive will be re-sized. I accept and then a few minutes later it comes back with the error "Partition failed with the error: Filesystem verify or repair failed" Does anybody know how I can restore this space successfully back into my main hard drive? I've attached some screenshots

Sep 6, 2014I installed one of available themes from deviantart. It was looking good on screenshots. But when I installed that, It was messed up my Mavericks Theme.
I uninstalled that theme. No i'm not having my older theme or default theme for mavericks. How can i have that.
I read in the instructions in Theme the way to uninstall. There it was written to restore finder, preferencePans, Safari etc. But I didn't take any backup.
How do I get preferencePans and finder etc.. ?
Can I reinstall Mac OSx - Mavericks?. Is there any option to just instal or over write and still I could get all of my files save?
Or is there any way I can download only these files if available online?

OS X :: Using External Drive With HFS Partition And NTFS Partition?
Feb 12, 2009I am trying to format my external drive to have (2) partitions. A NTFS for backing up my Windows computer and a HFS for backing up my MacBook Pro.
This is what ive tried:
1.) Create 2 partitions on my Mac in Disk Utility. 1 partition HFS, 1 partition FAT32. After doing this both show up in OSX but neither one shows up in WinXP. I was hoping the FAT32 would show up in WinXP so I can convert it to NTFS.
2.) Create 2 partitions in WinXP using Disk Management. 1 partition is NTFS and 1 is FAT32. Connected the drive to my MBP and both partitions mounted in Finder. I then opened Disk Utility and tried to "Erase" the FAT32 partition to HFS. The process seemed to be working but then it changed the name of the partition to disk1s1 and nothing else. The partition doesnt mount in Finder or WinXP.
3.) Create 2 partitions in WinXP using Disk Managment. Both partitions as NTFS. Connected to MBP and both partitions mounted in Finder. Opened Disk Utility and tried to "Erase" one of the NTFS systems to HFS. Same thing happen as #2, renamed the partition but didnt do anything else. The partition doesnt show up in Finder or WinXP.
OS X :: Creating 3rd Partition On An Already Double Partition Drive?
Jun 23, 2010So here the deal. I have a single hard drive in my MacBook Pro. Its made up into 2 partitions (one for os x and the other for data). I want to make the OS X partition into 2 separate partitions (so I'll have a total of 3) without erasing any data. I want to use that new partition to install windows. When I select the OS X partition, and set it to format at NTFS, it says the size cannot support the filesystem (25GB in this case). What size does it have to be then? Or should I format as FAT32?
I know FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit so I don't want to do that because I want to install some games on the Windows partition. How should I go about doing this?

Apr 12, 2009I converted a 500G External USB SATA hard drive from MBR to GPT no problem. It could be done using either Vista 32bit or WinXP 64bit the conversion under XP Pro SP3 32bit was not possible maybe because diskpart was still an older version and not updated to a newer version. My work on the Mac is done now and I want to convert my drive back to MBR so I can use it with windows. I've erased and then deleted all the partitions I had created on the drive. Using WinXP 32bit and Disk Management I see only one big partition (465.76 GB Healthy (GPT Protective Partition)) Using WinXP 64bit and Disk Management I can see there is a 200Mb EFI Systems Partition followed by 464.44 Gb of Unallocated space. How do I get rid of this EFI Systems Partition that is stopping me when using diskpart to convert to MBR?
My sister bought a second hand Mac Book Pro. According to Mac Book Pro specs. this unit should have had a 250G - 320G Hard Drive but someone had replaced with a 120G before she got her hands on it. My assumption then is that theywhoever it was that switched the drive must have also replaced the DVD drive at the same time as well........................
OS X :: Boot Camp Deleted Partition - Any Way To Get It Back?

View 9 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Way To Convert Back To GUID Partition?
May 29, 2009I'm a bit unsure as to the best way to tackle this. I have a single partition on my Leopard install with that partition map scheme being a "Master Boot Record" as apposed to a GUID Partition Table (GPT). Not sure why it is not a GPT but I appear to have formatted it incorrectly when I installed it (as a replacement drive / upgrade of the original). In any case, I now need to change this partition system back to a GPT so that it will allow me to run firmware updates as EFI upgrades are dependent on a GPT partition.
My question is more or less what is the best way to accomplish this given it's going to require a reformatting of all my data in any case. I have it all backed up to a Time Machine backup on a Time Capsule but to reformat the drive would then mean I have to re-install the Tiger install, followed by the Leopard upgrade disks, followed finally by the restore from Time Machine.
Is there an easier way to clone the data perhaps, such as with a Carbon Copy Cloner disk to disk clone? Or would that "restore" then merely include the actual partition format back to Master Boot Record as part of the clone? (I suspect the clone includes the partition type). Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Are there any other options?

When I switch the volume scheme to 1 partition their are no options to "apply" for me to revert to 1 partition only.
