Bootcamp no longer showing up at start up (holding option Key)

Hi, I have been using my bootcamp for the last 8 months perfectly fine, moving back and forth through windows 10 and Mac os on my I mac. I added more space to the Partition and it worked fine months before and two months (the other day) I was going to add some more repeating the same process as before, but now this time the Icon on Startup ( holding the option Key) bootcamp dose not show up at all.


I look on my mac and the Windows bootcamp folder is still their with all my files and saves still, same with under Disk utility. Just when I try to restart it will not show up. When I click on startup disk the bootcamp shows up as a folder not a drive I con like before. and will not let me start. Dose anyone have any solution? thank you in advance...

Resizing Windows partition is not officially supported. If you third-party tools, it causes problems on 2014 or older Macs which run Windows using legacy BIOS mode, because the MBR and GPT are no longer in sync. You are lucky that you have not lost your data yet.


Post the output of


sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

sudo fdisk /dev/disk0


from macOS Terminal. If you do not have permissions, temporarily disable SIP in Local Recovery using csrutil and retry the commands.

Your command you type is all incorrect. That’s why the solution is not working. Remember to check all spaces. Post the output again with the correct command.
