Q: Partition BootCap on DD 3To Fusion Drive: A methode

In continuation of another post above a bootcamp disk problem, i ask to now how to crate a Bootcamp partition on a 3To. Fusion drive using command on terminal like:

 

diskutil list

diskutil cs list

sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk1

sudo fdisk  /dev/disk0

sudo fdisk /dev/disk1

 

The end of the first thread:

Can't format former Boot Camp partition

 

Thanks.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

    This is very interesting. Your GPT is

      5860533135          32         Sec GPT table

      5860533167           1         Sec GPT header

    and your MBR is already populated as

     

    1: EE 1023 254  63 - 1023 254  63 [         1 -     409639] <Unknown ID>

    4: 0B 1023 254  63 - 1023 254  63 [1727686656 -  488280064] Win95 FAT-32

     

    These match, so you do not need Gdisk. Run Bootcamp Assistant, and click on the last option only, if the Windows installer starts and lets you choose this BC partition, continue.

     

    If it gives an error, use BCA and check the first two boxes (there is no need to allow bootcamp to partition the disk, since it is already there), which will build the USB/ISO (depending on you iMac model). BCA should also detect this partition as one for Windows based on the MBR.

     

    What year is your iMac? Does it have a built-in Optical Drive?

    Late 2012 for my iMac, no optical drive.

    And for the 1To missing, installing Windows repair this problem?

    Create the USB/ISO using only the first two options. Leave the USB plugged in, and start from the USB and install Windows.

     

    The 1Tb Free Space can be fixed once you have Windows installed and running.

    Same problem than before: I format the partition in NTFS and after Windows refuse to install saying he can't create a new partition or localised a partition. I'am so disappointed.

    If you format the partition, it is there. Can you scroll down in the partition list?

     

    Can you post a screen shot? Leave it on the screen with the error message.

    If you click on format, are you allowed to select it and click next?

    No, that the same, only my problem doesn't appear in the problem's list. All of this began to be ridiculous, i am thinking to give my imac to an Applestore and let them do this awesome operation.

    Apologies, my phone just showed these messages.

     

    1. The Untitled volume is NTFS. The MBR matches.

    2. If you want to return it back to the default 3TB Fusion drive, we did this on the this thread - Can't format former Boot Camp partition - see page 5.
