Hi alla
I have created by accident, two bootcamp partitions, of course I can't install my winclone image. So I wanted to remove the partitions with bootcamp, but can't. What's the solution then ?
thanks
Have you tried using Boot Camp Assistant to remove one partition?
as i said, I tried to remove the partitions with bootcamp, but can't. I used disk utility, I removed the partitions one by one and enlarge the disk partition manually.
Now, my problem is to reistall my bootcam. have an image made by winclone, after three times try I always get a meessage< errors found, or something like this> and winclone stops, then loose my bootcamp patition created with Bootcamp Assistant, or part of it.
A smaller partition remains in my drive wich is the exact size of my winclone image.
I ha read a lot about this operation, think I did every thing pefrect, but none.
All I wanted is to get a bigger drive for my snow leopard and Bootcamp,n from original 120 Gb to 160 Gb.
It's been three nights a long
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot off the DVD and run Disk Utility Verify/Repair Disk and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.
When you reboot, use Setup Assistant to restore your data.
Then use Boot Camp Assistant to install the Windows partition.
sorry, I didn't get it !
I have my original drive with two partitions10.6.8 and Bootcamp ( windows installed)
So I want a bigger drive, I have already moved 10.6.8 with super duper on the new drive. I made a clone of my windows partition with winclone. Then I made a partition with Bootcamp assistant on then new drive. At then moment I boot with the new bigger drive with my 10.6.8, and I want to move windows to the partition on the new drive. I think, In my case Bootcamp assistant can't move my widows partition. Of course if I wanted to install windows from the beginnings, then it would be all right, but I don't because I have all my programms and preferences that I don't wanna loose, and it's saving time too, isn't it ?
What is the version of Winclone? Was the Winclone source image created on Snow Leopard 10.6.8?
From OS X Terminal, can you post the output of
diskutil list
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
winclone 2.2, the image was created with winclone on snow leopard 10.6.8
sorry, ask me any thing but not to touch the terminal, not yet !
I'm working on another mac, I shut down the one i'm upgrading, i can do it later.
I stopped doing anything cause I had errors three times. All I read sounds so far from what I am expecting. Maybe this version of winclobne that works with snow leopard is not fully working ? any how it's simply complicated to work with winclone
In Application -> Utilities -> Console type Winclone in the top right search box type 'winclone' and search. What are the error messages? If you can, select all the messages and post them as a reply.
Terminal commands are not needed yet. Post back when you are ready to tackle this again.
ok, this the last part in the winclone Log, that concerns the error, I think, or the beginnings of restoring:

Now we need some Terminal commands...
diskutil list
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
The "sudo" command will prompt you for your password.
Window.winclone is the name I gave to my Bootcamp partition image made with winclone
Please explain to me what these commands for ?
They show the disk partitions and the GPT partition table. In Terminal, you can type man diskutil and man gpt to see more details of each command.

Do you have any third-party NTFS software - Tuxera, Paragon, NTFS-3g, MacDrive,... ?
The following command will dump the first block of the NTFS header.
sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk0s3 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump -C
The following command will display the Hybrid MBR.
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
