Hi, I deleted my windows partition via Disk Utility, then I reverted my Mac partition back to 1TB. (regular size) But now, it still says I don't have 1TB on my mac, it says only the partition that I used to have. It shows a gray part in the disk, look at the images I put. Can anyone help?
Any idea why BootCamp Assistant would show -8 as the default partition size for Windows during install? It will not allow me to slide any larger than 48 GB. I have a 1 TB hard drive and want to split 500/500. Appreciate your thoughts.
The following command merges the faulty Recovery HD into macOS. You will lose Recovery HD. The order of the disks in the following command is critical, otherwise you will lose data.
diskutil mergePartitions jhfs+ "Macintosh HD" disk0s2 disk0s3
and post the output of
diskutil list
BCA is incorrectly calculating the size because of the incorrect Recovery HD size.
Either you need to erase the whole internal disk and restore from TM, or re-install macOS from Internet Recovery after merging the incorrect Recovery HD into the macOS partition. If Internet Recovery offers a macOS version older than what you currently you have on the internal disk, do not install it.
See About macOS Recovery - Apple Support for reference.
We can do two things.
Let me know if you want to do this, and I can give you the exact commands to run.
Can I get Recovery HD back or no?
Yes, you can. Using How to reinstall macOS - Apple Support, re-install the exact same version of macOS on your internal disk, which will leave your non-OS files untouched.
Using Disk Utility to manipulate a Bootcamp partition is not allowed. From macOS Terminal, post the text output of
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
What do I do after?
Post the output before I can suggest next steps.
You have a very large Recovery partition - 447 GB. You should only have a 650MB Recovery HD. This is a known issue in High Sierra. Do you have a Time Machine backup of macOS?
