Q: I deleted my bootcamp via DU and then deleted the hard drive by using the terminal. My BOOTCAMP is still there and now my fusion drive is separated from the SSD portion and I have no idea how to fix it.

First off I have a 3tb fusion drive.

 

I created a 200gb bootcamp, I tried deleting the bootcamp because I thought I messed it up and googled how to delete a mac partition which told me to use Disk Utility, did that and then erased it and somehow it got locked and wouldn't let me do anything to any partition on my hard drive (everything was greyed out)

After looking up and googling for hours I found a post saying the only way to fix it would be to go into CMD+R and go into the terminal window and type out disklist and then find the first UUID number and do something along the lines of disklist delete (UUID) i forget the exact formula. I did this, and then I had 3 separate untitled hard drives.

One in the size of 1.9gb on in 800gb and one in 121.3gb (which is the SSD), I put my time machine backup onto the 1.9gb untitled and now my computer is booting slowly (because it's no longer running off of the SSD and the original bootcamp is still there.

 

To be honest I am absolutely confused on what else to do!

Is there anyway I can fix this?

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

    I thought it would be best to include a screenshot of my current hard drive situation. As you can see the bootcamp is there.

    Saw that earlier and it didn't work for me, which is what led to me trying to delete the hard drive completely and doing a time machine restore.... but sadly it separated all my hard drives and didn't remove the bootcamp partition.

    You will need to use OS X Terminal and Internet Recovery to fix the Fusion drive. Deleting Bootcamp/Windows via Disk Utility (especially on Fusion Drives) is very problematic.

     

    For future reference, from Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support

    Can I resize the Windows partition after installing Windows?

    No. Back up your important files, then use Boot Camp Assistant to delete the old partition and create a new one.

     

    Assuming that your Mac supports Internet Recovery (OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support), please post the output of the following Terminal commands if you are in Internet Recovery (Command+Opt+R).

     

    diskutil list

    diskutil cs list

    gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

    gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk1

    fdisk /dev/disk0

    fdisk /dev/disk1

     

    If you are no in Internet Recovery, the last four commands need to be preceded by a sudo.

    The Disk Utility on Yosemite is very buggy, especially where CoreStorage is concerned. Your 250GB BC/Windows partition was converted to CS. Delete the Bootcamp CS volume group - diskutil cs delete 051387DF-39F4-4110-B3B1-FDCF08CB3F0D.


    Can you run this command and then post the output of gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0?

    one side note I'd like to point out, I called apple support (which they had no idea how to help me and pretty much gave up) and they told me to delete my macintosh HD drive and then reinstall it on the 121gb sad portion, they said this should help combine and delete bootcamp .... but it didn't. After I did what you said bootcamp seems to be gone.)

    Here's what my hard drives look like now

    Can you post the output of the following commands?

     

    diskutil list

    diskutil cs list

    gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

    gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk1

     

    The two Untitled LVG/LVs need to be deleted and re-added back to the 121GB SSD to give you your 3TB Fusion drive back.

    How do I go about deleting and then re-adding the hard drives? Completely lost on how to make it back to being a 3gb fusion drive.

    Thank you for all your help, I honestly really appreciate it.

    1. Disconnect WD My Pasport from the Mac.

    2. Backup OSX. If you already have a backup using Time Machine, you may not need this. If the backup is old, create a new backup.

    3. The following steps use the output from the last diskutil cs list output. Please verify the UUIDs (the long strings). These will erase your 3TB HDD disk.

         a. Delete disk4 Logical Volume - diskutil cs deleteVolume 31B60F49-6981-47A3-9815-6396AD3A9BD6

         b. Delete Logical Volume Group on disk1s4 - diskutil cs delete 98213AE6-9EA8-4FB7-8B72-8E08BFBFD82C

         c. Delete disk3 Logical Volume - diskutil cs deleteVolume FD9357F1-1A71-44A0-A01E-41C84F1C8047

         d. Delete Logical Volume Group on disk1s2 - diskutil cs delete 687E889E-B4A1-4F20-8B36-43D7A3701076

         e. Erase disk1 completely exposing a single 3TB physical disk - diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ HDD disk1

    4. Post the output of diskutil list.

    5. Test if you can boot from the SSD alone.

     

    Based on Test 5, I can provide additional steps.

     

    Do not use Disk Utility. If it prompts for Ignore or Fix, click on Ignore.

    I did the above instructions, since my computer doesn't currently have an os now (restarted it and got a flashing ? folder) should I reinstall safari onto the harddrives? Which one?

    How do I check to see if I can boot from SSD alone?

     

    also how can I send you the terminal if my computer doesnt have OS is there a way?

    Safari
    Feb 26, 2015 2:16 PM in response to LiamSebastian

    If you go to Internet Recovery (Command+Opt+R - you should see a spinning globe at startup), it has built-in Safari, but it can be a bit challenging to switch between Terminal and Safari.

     

    The Macintosh HD you have on the SSD should allow you to boot, but if you get the flashing folder sign, then Internet Recovery is required, which will help rebuild the Fusion drive, and then a TM restore using the same Recovery console should get you up and running.

     

    Please be aware of the following, from OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support

    Which version of OS X is installed by OS X Recovery?

    • If you use the Recovery System stored on your startup drive to reinstall OS X, it installs the most recent version of OS X previously installed on this computer.
    • If you use Internet Recovery to reinstall OS X, it installs the version of OS X that originally came with your computer. After installation is finished, use the Mac App Store to install related updates or later versions of OS X that you have previously purchased.

    When I installed the clean Mac os X it gave me 3 separate hard drives to choose from, I chose the HDD (121 sad) which i am running on now.
