Im attempting to partition my hard drive through bootcamp so I can play games on it. However I keep getting the same message: 'an error occurred while partitioning the disk. please run disk utility to check and fix the error.' I have repaired my disk multiple times and there seems to be no errors. I have even erased and restored my hard drive. How do I fix this issue?
MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)
I am running Sierra 10.12.6.
thanks! partition finally worked.
Excellent. Please remember to back up macOS, Windows and create a Windows System Restore point.
This has had all the developer betas for HS. I am not sure when the core dump was created
Yes, but that wouldn't be my first choice. Is it possible to just remove the coredump partition?
I still am getting the partition error from BCA
Sorry for the delayed response, I was away for the weekend.
I disabled SIP and got the same response
MBPtb:/ joe$ sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
gpt show: unable to open device '/dev/disk0': Operation not permitted
MBPtb:/ joe$
The partition with size 160000?
Yes.
Is any special erase or partition method required? Should I leave SIP on or off for this?
That worked, it just took a long time.
Thanks for your help!
Excellent.
Can you post the output of
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
It should show us the last chunk of Free Space.
Notice the entry after GPT2. One option is to create a 'fake' GPT entry and use BCA to merge it back. See Re: Can't get rid of a windows partition? Help? for reference.
