Your disk could not be partitioned. Win7 Bootcamp

Thanks Frog_T. The extra info on starting with Command + S, etc worked great, and allowed Bootcamp to properly partion the disk. Just wanted to add my voice to those who this fix worked for!

i tried this but when i tried to repair disk it said.

Alert

Live file system repair is not supported.

I have no clue how to fix this.

PLZ Help

i did this and it said that every thing was ok...

help please

It looks like the "Live file system repair is not supported" issue has been introduced with Mavericks update. There is a thread with a possible solution which might help:

thanks guys, i followed this thread and broke my ssd. computer did not boot up, so i figured ssd broke, i replaced it with my hard drive and everything worked. ssd broke because of it.

Great ...

Fixed my problem completely 🙂

Thanks Frog - worked like a charm. This after many time consuming disk utility runs and an overnight reload of OS X. THIS is the solution.

Fantastic! After trying so many different things, single user mode solved it for me! Thank you so much!

So for those of you that like myself are still getting the error even after trying Frog_T's instructions, the problem may be related to FileVault. I had elected to encrypt the disk when I first set up my Mac. FileVault was stuck and it said plug in the computer to finish the encryption process but plugging in didn't make a difference and the encryption process wouldn't progress.

Unfortunately, I don't have a safer solution other than just reinstallingOS X by rebooting with command+R, erasing the disk, and then reinstalling Yosemite (in my case). I still had access to everything in my hard drive so I could back up whatever I wanted.

Hope this saves you some time, because I had no errors on my disk no matter which way I checked. FileVault was the culprit for me.

The post from neopirus actually led me to the solution for this issue - in my case at least. There seems to be a problem with FileVault encryption, where the process pauses for no reason and then gets stuck at that point. This then seems to block any attempt to format the disk, for whatever reason, whether it be the installation of Bootcamp / Windows, or even simply creating a new partition through Disk Utility. In all other aspects, the disk is fine, and the various verify/repair procedures suggested neither report nor fix any problems.

At the time of writing this post, there is no fix for the encryption problem, although certain users have had success with various suggestions (see FileVault stuck on "Encryption Paused"). I needed to erase all the data on my drive and reinstall OS X, making sure I turned file encryption OFF. Bootcamp then worked perfectly - no partition errors, no problems at all.

I hope that helps someone, and maybe saves them the five hours I wasted trying to overcome this problem.

I had the same problem. I went to this web site: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/bootcamp-assistant-cannot-partition/

I followed the simple instructions and it worked perfectly and quickly. This solved my problem. MBP Retina display, late 2013 core I7, 1T flash drive, 16G ram.

Thanks so much swissclive. I noticed my filevault was on ''paused encryption'' status, and figured that was stopping bootcamp from partitioning the disk. could not fix the filevault issue, and was forced to restore my mac. when restoring chose not to use filevault, then when OS X was restored, used boot camp to install windows and all worked just fine! after a few hours now I have running OS X and windows 7 via boot camp perfectly!

Thank you! the second part helped me and now windows 8.1 is on my macbook pro 😀 if only swtor and flash fxp was available on mac 😟 but I get the best of both worlds this way, i tried vmware fusion for a while but to use free osx upgrades you have to pay for upgrades and its not cheap.

I appreciate the solution you have provided, am going to save your post to a txtedit file so I dont lose it 🙂
