Q: The startup disk cannot be partitioned  or restored to a single partition

I've install with Bootcamp Windows 8 then upgrade to Windows 8.1 and then upgrade to Windows 10.

When I want to relaunch the Bootcamp I've the error message : "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition".

According do this page, this is due to Windows recovery partitions added during the migration from 8 to 8.1 and 8.1 to 10.

 

/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *500.1 GB   disk0

   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1

   2:                  Apple_HFS Untitled                498.6 GB   disk0s2

   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3

   4:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s4
