#NO WINDOWS PARTITION FOUND WINCLONE FOR MAC#

Parallels Desktop for Mac and VMware Fusion allow you to import your Boot Camp partition into one of their virtual machines.

Consider running Boot Camp under virtualization. The Winclone way is more involved, but it’s safer.īefore leaving the subject, allow me to offer one other suggestion. Camptune requires far less work, but if your Windows data isn’t backed up in some other way, you face the small risk of losing data if something goes wrong. The process involves creating an image of the partition for safe keeping, deleting the original Boot Camp partition with Disk Utility, creating a new, more expansive partition and then moving the data from the imaged partition to the new one with WinClone. Those familiar with Winclone are aware that with its help you can create a larger Boot Camp partition without losing your original Windows data.

Earlier versions of WinClone are not compatible with Apple’s latest operating system so while it may have been free once, it’s now something you must pungle up for. And for that backup the best tool around is Twocanoes’ $20 Once done, check the changes using command p, and verify for errors using v.Easy though it may be, it’s always a good idea to have a backup of your Boot Camp partition before doing something like this. I used d command to delete partitions 3 and 4, n command to recreate them with first sector and last sector noted from MBR and type 0700. Once installed, run the tool (usage instructions are similar to fdisk, tutorial is available on the tool’s website). For this purpose, I used the gdisk tool available here. Essentially, delete partitions 3 and 4, and then recreate it as per MBR. In the scenario above, the solution was to modify the GPT table to match the MBR table. Running gptsync on my machine resulted in the following: >. Just compile it using Xcode, and you’re good to go. A fixed version of gptsync aimed at OSX, extracted from rEFIt is available here. This is because of 64-bit incompatability. Homebrew has the gptsync package, but if you try to use it, you’ll end up with the following error: Warning: Unknown GPT spec revision 0x00010000

Here’s how to do it:įirst, we need detailed information on the MBR record-where the partition starts, where it ends etc. The easy way to fix this without going through the pain of removing and reinstalling Windows from scratch is to sync the MBR info back to the GPT record. Thus, Windows will see the OSX partition, but not vice-versa. Essentially, when you remove/resize/add partitions via Windows setup, that information gets updated in the MBR record, but is not synced to the GPT record. When you do this, it confuses the hybrid GPT/MBR partitioning scheme used by BCA. Instead of ignoring it, I deleted and recreated the bootcamp partition from Windows setup hoping the wasted space would be reclaimed. Once Bootcamp Assistant (BCA) created the BOOTCAMP partition and restarted the system, I noticed that there was an additional small-sized partition created (~600MB) just before the BOOTCAMP partition. Turns out the issue occurs because of a modification during Windows installation. If you try viewing the disk using disk utility, the BOOTCAMP partition is greyed out, and shows up as FAT formatted although it is NTFS formatted. After installing Windows, you are not able to see the BOOTCAMP partition in OSX. Symptom: You use Bootcamp to dual-boot OSX and Windows.
