Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING

PARTITIONS!!

Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): y

OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/rdisk1.

Warning: Devices opened with shared lock will not have their

partition table automatically reloaded!

Warning: The kernel may continue to use old or deleted partitions.

You should reboot or remove the drive.

The operation has completed successfully.

I noticed some changes from these terminal data compared to the one before. Control all and let me know the next step forward. Thanks man!

The result shows this:

Can you boot normally and try installing Windows using BCA?

I tried installing after deleting the partition earlier created by the former attempt to install windows using BCA. Now trying to install windows, BCA says that the volume is not journaled, that I have to journal the volume using disk utility. I opened disk utility. I saw a new disk created (osx macintoshLVG) that is not journaled. It has the format Mac OS Extended only. Should I go ahead and journal it?

I mean should I erase it by formatting it to Mac OS Extended (journaled)? Should I also make use of security options and to how many level (fastest of 1 or 2 or 3) if I should?

Run Disk Utility, Repair disk and then Enable journaling.

repairing volume OSX-MacintoshLVG failed: invalid request.

Should I erase and journaled?

should I repair the whole (the first) OSX-MacintoshLVG. that is the whole 1.12TB

Formerly I tried repairing the partition that is unmounted.

Yes, please.

Sorry, I am just coming back from a meeting.

I have done disk repair using disk utility. It says that the whole volume appears to be ok. However there is a part of the partition newly created that is not repaired. That is the particular partition that is not journaled. this particular partition cannot be repaired or verified. I tried to. should I try erasing and formatting it? Just that particular partition and not the whole disk. This partition is written unmounted volume and has the same name as the Main volume (OSX-MacintoshLVG) at the top. In between them is a volume dedicated to Macintosh HD. what should I do?

Can you post the output of the following commands? You do not need to be in Recovery Console.

diskutil list

diskutil cs list

sudo gpt -vv r- show /dev/disk0

sudo fdisk /dev/disk0

sudo gpt -vv r- show /dev/disk1

sudo fdisk /dev/disk1

Your GPT and Fdisk does not show what Disk Utility shows. Can you boot in Safe Mode and boot normally and check Disk Utility?
