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

    This will not work since you restored OS X after cleaning up the internal disk. We need to try this after you finish the Winclone restore.

    Please restore your Winclone image before using any commands that reference disk0s3.

    Ok, first, can I trust the winclone image ?

    - Shall I make a Bootcamp partition with Bootcamp Assistant or with diskutility ?

    - is this version 2.2 of winclone good enough to do the job ?

    To answer your last question, I do have an old version of Paragon somewhere

    If the image was created on the same Mac using the same version, then it can be restored.

    Use either DU or BCA for creating the partition.

    Yes, if it created the original image on the same Mac.

    We do not need Paragon, but what is the version of Windows?

    please have in mind my winclone image is: 10Go

    my old Bootcamp volume/partition is 26,18 Go

    my Windows Vista is 8,55 Go

    my new volume/partition of Bootcamp is 44,68 Go

    I am writing this to avoid any error again, cause I am thinking of how winclone will make the old partition to fit a bigger one, is there an expanding operation I should do ?

    You will need to ask Winclone Technical Suppprt why this is failing.
