Q: how to remove two bootcamp partitions

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

    The Paragon and Apple NTFS drivers have conflicts, which causes the restored device not to mount. Can you temporarily remove/uninstall/disable Paragon and restore the Winclone image again?

     

    Once Winclone can mount the partition properly, your restore should work. If you still run into any issues, please post back.

    Is this a Windows XP installation on a FAT partition? As the MBR and the block dump indicate, it is still a FAT32 partition.

    Please uninstall Paragon, to avoid conflicts and try it after you have had some sleep.

    Hy, There is no Paragon installed in my system at the moment, I think I have tried to use it few years ago, that's all.
    Now what about erasing the drive again with guid partition, install by moving with super duper my snow leopard, and then creating a bootcamp partition with Bootcamp assistant ? there is some time consuming, but it's clean, what you think ?

    Maybe I got all these trouble, when manipulating my drive with disk utility in enlarging partitions of my drive ?

    NAME

         diskutil -- Modify, verify and repair local disks.

     

    SYNOPSIS

         diskutil [quiet] verb [options]

     

    DESCRIPTION

         diskutil manipulates the volume-level structure of local disks.  It pro-

         vides information about, and allows the administration of, the partition-

         ing scheme of disks, optical discs, and AppleRAID sets.

     

    VERBS

         Each verb is listed with its description and individual arguments.

     

         list [-plist | device]

                    List disks.  If no argument is given, then all disks and all of

                    their partitions are listed.

     

                    If -plist is specified, then a property list will be emitted

                    instead of the normal user-readable output.  If a device is

                    specified, then instead of listing all families of whole disks

                    and their partitions, only one such family is listed.  In that

                    case, specifying either the whole disk or any of its slices

                    will work.  The -plist and device arguments may not both be

                    specified at the same time.

     

                    A script could interpret the results of the diskutil list

                    -plist output and use diskutil info -plist as well as diskutil

                    listFilesystems -plist for more detailed information.

     

                    See the DEVICES section below for the various forms that the

                    device specification may take for this and all of the other

                    diskutil verbs.

     

                    The top-to-bottom appearance of partitions in diskutil list

                    always indicates the on-disk ordering.  BSD disk identifiers

                    may, in certain circumstances, not appear in slice-numerical

                    order when viewed this way.  This is normal and is likely the

                    result of a recent partition map editing operation in which

    What is the version of Windows? Does the installation use NTFS?

     

    The partition table and other outputs look clean. From Terminal, please run the following command and post the output.

     

    diskutil mount /Volumes/BOOTCAMP disk0s3

     

    If the directory BOOTCAMP does not exist in /Volumes, it will give return an error.

     

    The man commands are for you see what each command does. You do not need to post the output of these.

    hi, nice to see you again,

    I have partitioned with diskutility the new drive and mooved with superduper my snow leopard, I haven't made any partition with Bootcamp assistant yet the disk is in one GUID partion. this is what I get with Terminal, it changes from:

    Can you also post the Windows version for the record?

     

    Atlas was the name used for the older copy of SL 10.6. You may need to rename the volume, if you want to see the same name.

     

    You can create a FAT32 partition using either Disk Utility or BC Assistant. Please try the restore.
