Hi,
I have a mac mini, (Mac mini (Late 2012)) and I am trying to install windows on it. I have high sierra installed and when I run Bootcamp I cannot resize the partition. I want to split it 50/50 but it first comes up with -8GB. If I click on the windows partition it jumps to 48GB but if I hit divide equally it goes back to -8gb. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Mac mini, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)
Much better. Connect your USB2 installer, reboot the 2012 Mini, and hold Alt/Option key and select the Windows icon from the USB. It should start the legacy Windows installer. Select the GPT4/MBR4 partition and try to install Windows. If you see any errors, please post the exact error message or a screen shot, if possible.
We are going to convert the last partition from HFS+ to FAT. Run
diskutil eraseVolume fat32 BOOTCAMP disk0s4
After it is converted, can you use Re: El Capitan has deleted my bootcamp windows partition as a reference and create a MBR overlay and post the output of
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
Enable the first two options, uncheck the last option (install) and rebuild the USB2 Flash drive installer and keep it aside, temporarily. Now partition the disk using Disk Utility and create a FAT partition of the size you want Windows to be.
Post the output of the commands.
The MBR seems to be incorrect. You may have put values in hex code fields, which are no longer default. Can you verify that you used the Q&A section of the link to answer the questions. If not, you can re-execute the same GDisk steps again.
Excellent. Please remember to back up macOS, Windows and create a Windows System Restore point, before you allow any Windows Updates. Be careful with drivers from Windows Updates. There are problematic Intel GPU updates that are not valid for Macs.
