Hello everyone,
After repairing Bootcamp thanks to Loner T (i tested the next os x out).
I found the original size of my Machintosh HD partition. I was stupid enough to make the partition larger to the original size again.
Now Bootcamp is called Disk0s4. Could someone help me out?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), GHOSTING (and long shutdown issues)
Ok, scan at 90%
It is a pretty slow process, if nothing else, you now have a new tool in your arsenal.
Can you please take a look at my thread here Mavericks messed up the Windows partition 😟 I'm really in need of help and I can't reinstall like Matt because I have important files on the windows partition ...
It's ready i can't make any sense out of it, i hope you do. Is there any command i should execute now?
OS X should not allow users (like you and me) to make potential harmful changes to any partition that effect bootcamp without giving a popup message (i think there is a small warning in Disk Utility but nothing more..)
I wish you best luck wassgha!
It's actually my fault since I resized my Windows partition using a third party program on Windows which didn't update the partition table on the Mac side and messed them up when installing Mavericks... But there wasn't any other way to resize Windows without reinstalling it 😟
Just responded on your thread.
Please select the first HPFS-NTFS partition and use the 'P' option (List files). The partition of 6174 looks to be your boot loader code. These entries what was done in terms of block movement during the resize operations and how the blocks were relocated.
If you do not recognize any files, then try the entry marked Bootcamp.
At the first HPFS-NTFS it says: Can't open filesystem. Filesystem seems damaged.
Bootcamp doesn't seem to show anything either: interface_write()
1 * FAT32 LBA 40 409639 409600 [EFI]
I won't be able to answer this evening anymore (i'm going to sleep). I can tomorrow of course!
Thanks for your help today!
We can continue tomorrow. If you feel this is taking too long, you can re-install from scratch, since you have a backup of your important files.
I agree. Thanks for all your help and time!
If i'm ready reinstalling Mavericks and later on Bootcamp i'll report back.
I just finished an EFI-based W8.1 installation on a 15" 2013 rMBP.
That's nice! I have erased the whole harddrive and have done a clean Mavericks 10.9.4 install. Typing from it right now. Installed Windows 8.0 and updated to 8.1 update 1. 🙂
Bootcamp doesn't work, again.
