Windows not recognizing bootcamp space

Hi everyone, I couldn't find the answer I needed searching the forums so I thought maybe you guys could help me out.

I have a friend with a 2011 MacBook Pro and I helped him set up Windows 7 with bootcamp. I made the bootcamp partition 30GB (his drive is just a 128gb SSD) but he quickly realized that was too small. I then made used the Windows tools to create a system image on a portable hard drive, erased the bootcamp partition, made a new bootcamp partition of 60GB, reinstalled Windows, and then restored from the system image. When I look at the partitions from the Mac side it shows 60GB but from Windows it shows 27GB like I haven't changed anything. I assume this is because the system image restored it to exactly like it was? How can I get Windows to see the extra space? Or should I have went about it entirely differently. I'm not really used to dealing with Windows stuff anymore so if anyone has some help that would be great.

Restoring a system image uses the same partition size as the original backup.


If your Windows partition has not been resized using any tools, it may be possible to correct the problem.


Can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?


diskutil list

diskutil cs list

sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

sudo fdisk /dev/disk0


The "sudo" commands will prompt for your password, and it will not be echoed back. You may also see a warning about improper use of "sudo" and potential data loss due to "abuse" of the command.

GPT Fdisk (from the link above) can be installed on the OSX or Windows side.


On the OSX side, once it is installed, you can use sudo gdisk /dev/disk0 and use the 'P' command to print the GPT.


type gdisk

gdisk is /usr/sbin/gdisk


sudo gdisk /dev/disk0

1. You should now be able to post the output of sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0.

2. Can you post the output of sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk0s4 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump -C (this dumps the NTFS header based on the GPT not the MBR).

3. Your GPT 4 is

4 119791616 236976127 55.9 GiB 0700 BOOTCAMP

but your MBR is

*4: 07 1023 254 63 - 1023 254 63 [ 180338688 - 56637440] HPFS/QNX/AUX


Here is a table which explains the discrepancy.

You may have to use a tool like Gparted (found on Linux Live CD) and 'stretch' the 27GB to the GPT4 Start, without losing the NTFS header.

This is what the output should look like. The second command may look a bit different because of the sizing issue.
