Not able to Restore Bootcamp partition

Hi,

i am using bootcamp for a while. Both mac and windows got slower. so i decided to remove the bootcamp. i used the bootcamp assistant to delete bootcamp drive and to restore the space with MAC. i got the error from bootcamp assistant "Your disk couldn't be restored" and from the next time restore / remove option not there in BC assistant. Even through disk utility i am not getting the space. Please help me, As per other threads i am posting few commands output.

And he may need to completely repartition to 1 partition before restoring.


dmuralee, your screenshots show you're using OS X El Capitan which is still in beta testing. So, just be aware that you could be having these issues due to that beta OS. Restart into Internet Recovery as Loner T advised using Command+Option+R. But be advised that Internet Recovery will reinstall the most current version of OS X that came preinstalled on your Mac (e.g. OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite) IF you decide to reinstall OS X instead of Restoring.

You have a back up, correct?


Why not restart into Internet Recovery, open Disk Utility and repartition your whole drive. Click the Partition tab and set it to 1 partition. This should create one partition and format it. Make sure you use Mac OS X Extended-Journaled with the GUID partition table.
