Computer royally screwed after trying to Install bootcamp, Help!
So I tried to Install bootcamp.
First I tried and it was interrupted.
My space was taken up in the partition but Bootcamp was not installed.
I went to disk utility and clicked the - to erase it, the space came back.
I attempted to install it again and again it was interrupted or just didn't work.
I went back to disk utility to erase again and there was nothing there but Im missing about 60 gigs.
Clicked First aid, didn't work. Restarted a few times....
My HD says only 444GB available of 500GB and I am unable to Partition it all back. All that other space is in the ether somewhere and I don't know how to get it back.
Realised my file vault was on and I turned it off (waited 2 days for this to finish!)
Ran First aid again, didn't work.
Went to Disk utility in the startup mode and tried to use first aid
Said "First aid could not unmount the volume for repair" Something about Can't repair because other APFS volumes in it's container are mounted, unmount them ect. Not sure what that means but it didnt know up like that last time before I decrypted.
Also side note- After I decrypted I am unable to send emails through mail and can't use Zoom or Webex which is extremely annoying since I am studying from home.
Another thing - I did a time machine backup before I decrypted. If I have to wipe and re-install, will it come back Decrypted again? If I did this would it bring back the lost data or has time machine made a note that its gone and will remain like that even if I wipe and install my last backup?
Help super appreciated. So regret trying to get Bootcamp, don't know if Age of Empires is really worth it!
