With bootcamp you end up with a hybrid partitioning scheme which is by nature unstable. The problem is that OS X wants to have a GPT partitioning scheme and Windows a MBR. Restarted various times in various ways, same result. both show windows as an option and both get same result.įind -set-root-ignore-floppies-ignore-cd /wedaolu restarted into windows, which i can do either from restart menu or from holding down alt. then i ran defragmentation, then the disc checker again, all fine.īack into os x, ran camptune x.
#CAMPTUNE X TRIAL WINDOWS 7#
The first time i ran camptune x it told me that it couldnt do anything due to errors in bootcamp drive, so i restarted in windows 7 and ran the disc checker which found some errors and fixed them. before doing so i deleted most of my steam games to get the bootcamp partition down so much that there was 115 gigs of space of the 200 gigs. I bought camptune to reduce my bootcamp partition from 200 gigs to 160 gigs of my 320 gigs internal drive. I created a bootable Windows 7 USB stick using the Windows USB/DVD Tool but when I plug it in and turn the laptop off and on again I am presented with the exact same options.Unfortunately my issue is compounded by not now having a working dvd drive in my 2009 mac mine, but this was the reason i spend 20 euro on camptune, if i had a working drive id have saved money and reinstalled bootcamp in a smaller partition.

However, when I attempted to reboot in Windows instead of booting I get a black screen reading: It completed and said the partition had been successfully increased in size. Today I downloaded Paragon Camptune 10 and while in OSX used it to increase the size of the bootcamp partition from 50GB to 80GB. This has been working perfectly for the last few weeks.

Hi, I have a Late 2013 Macbook Pro 13.3" (2.6GHz, 8GB Ram, 256GB SSD) and used the Apple Bootcamp utility to create a partition for windows 7.
