I can't see the Macintosh HD partition under Windows 10 in Boot Camp. I've already followed some guides on how to solve this problem that talk about CoreStorage etc...  Now when I get this:  sudo diskutil cs list No CoreStorage logical volume groups found   I still can't see the drive from Windows, what should I do?   My Mac is a 13" Mid-2012  macOS Sierra 10.12.3 Windows 10

Today I installed Windows 10, version 1607, on my MacBook Pro (Retina 15in Late 2013). Before this I had Bootcamp setup with Win7. So, I started out by deleting the old Win7 Bootcamp Partition using the Bootcamp Assistant on Mac and then created a new partition and went on to install Windows 10. Everything seems to have gone smoothly: Partitioning, Installation of Windows 10, and the Apple Bootcamp drivers.  However, the Mac Partition does not show up in Windows File Explorer.  I found this related thread   I have run the commands with the following results:    It looks like my MBP is not using CoreStorage. FileVault is deactivated. ... and on my prior Windows 7 Bootcamp partition (that I deleted before setting up a new one for Windows 10) the Mac Partition was showing up correctly.  Here's a pictures of Windows 10 Disk Management:    Does anyone know what's going on here?

So I had been literally trying to fix my windows not being able to boot at all for more than 24 hours straight till now. I almost read every single article and troubleshooting step on the web to find a solution but nothing seems to work. I will keep it short as much as I can.  I did all of the following and it was:  "Reset this PC" gave an error "The required drive partition is missing"  "Refresh this PC" gave an error "The drive where windows is installed is locked. Please unlock and try again"  "System restore" gave an error something I don't actually remember but its like "Choose your OS and then try again"  "Automatic Repair" just failed to fix it and reverted me back to advanced options.   After all of that, I did  bootrec /fixboot bootrec /fixmbr bootrec /scanos bootrec /rebuildbcd bcdboot d:\windows (D is where I have the windows installed and C is for system reserved) bcdboot d:\windows /s c: /f ALL   All of these command prompt lines failed giving multiple errors like:  For REBUILDBCD, it said "Identified total windows installations: 1" then clicked "Y" to add it to the list and then it said "The requested system device cannot be found"  For bcdboot d:\windows it said Failure when attempting to copy boot files"   I wiped the disk multiple times using diskpart and installed fresh copies of windows on it 3 times but each time the installation will finish stage 1 (at a very slow pace) then when it restarts to continue installation, it simply won't boot (Windows logo and a spinning dot circle below forever)  I gave up and tried a totally new HDD and installed windows to it, it booted so normal and fast actually so I made sure it was not an issue with the windows.  Now I am booted from the new HDD and reformatted the old HDD and working on data recovery using easeus and it is finding my stuff luckily. It is also noticeable that the old HDD is making some noise while it is reading now as I scan for lost files.  My ultimate question is, will this HDD ever be able to used again? Even as a storage drive not as a drive I boot from? Because it is being seen through the bios boot menu and I see it in the disk management with healthy status. Can this HDD be fixed or I'm better off stop using it?  Here is a screenshot of the health status through SMART using HD Tune Pro:

I need to run Visual Studio on my MacBook Pro and I need Windows to do that. The easiest and well known way to install Windows on a Mac is by running the Boot Camp app on the Mac and let it do what's necessary. The problem is that I don't want to partition the Internal SSD so the remaining option is to install Boot Camp Windows 10 on an External Drive and boot it every time I need it by plugging in my external USB 3.0 HDD. Is this achievable?

Previously I installed Windows 7 on a Macbook Air without problems using Boot Camp Assistant and the excellent directions .  Now I am trying to install Windows 7 on a Mac mini server and I encounter error with every approach I take. I already have a bootable USB disk with Windows 7 installer.  First I tried to install Windows 7 directly booting the installer. Installer refused to continue displaying an error mentioning something about GPT drive.  Second I tried to install using Boot Camp, but it does not exist on Mac mini servers!  So I copied the Boot Camp Assistant app from Macbook Air, and selected the option "Download the Windows Support software for this mac". It was not able to find and download anything.  I thought I could handle the driver issues later, I used Boot Camp Assistant to make the 500 GB harddisk Windows installable. Then I booted into the installer, selected BOOTCAMP partition and formatted it. Installer did not continue displaying 0x80300024        error.  I run out of ideas and am rather frustrated. Are there any simple instructions on how to install Windows 7 on Mac mini server? Or how can I solve my problem and install?

I am trying to migrate my current C drive with Windows 10 installed (250GB M.2 SSD) to a 1TB M.2 SSD. Both are physically installed in my PC.  I used Macrium Reflect to clone the drive to the new SSD, which was successful as they were both identical (except the extra unallocated space in the new drive). I made sure that the new drive was GPT.  I then restarted, and in the boot menu changed the boot priority to the 1TB SSD, with the 250GB SSD as second priority. The boot mode is in UEFI.  However, it didn't work and when booting, the windows icon was still next to the 250GB SSD meaning it had booted from that drive.  I then opened my PC and physically disconnected the 250GB SSD. When I started up the computer again it gave me a "Recovery - your PC needs to be repaired" error, so obviously it was not able to boot from the 1TB drive at all and was going into recovery mode instead when it couldn't find the second priority boot.   I then reconnected the 250GB SSD, but instead of booting it in second priority, I disabled it in the boot menu. But this still didn't work and windows is still booting from this drive (evidenced by the windows icon next to it).  I am at a loss as to why even after disabling it in the boot menu it is still booting from this drive and why cloning, setting the new drive as GPT and ensuring it is booting in UEFI doesn't seem to be working. I've spent hours googling this and am at a loss! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks

I have a Macbook Pro which has a 750GB HDD. I'm currently using Bootcamp to run Win 7. If I want to upgrade the HDD to a SSD but keep my stuff from both the OS X side and the Win 7 side what are the steps to backing it up?

My hard drive died in my macbook and it no longer will start up. It will not mount in an external enclosure but disk utility is still reading that the hard drive is there, and I tried to repair disk and I am getting this error: (Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.) So my question is how do I backup my files if the hard drive won't mount? The only way that I have been able to see the hard drive is through disk utility. I just want to be clear that I am using mac os x snow leapard.

I don't know whether this is my laptop SSD hard drive issue or it is Windows 10 issue. A quick  of mine is here, showing an .   Though now, Oct 2015, I still have the problem every time I open File Explorer right after a reboot.  E.g. Opening drive D: will take me 20 seconds to have the file list loaded; the content displayed as "Working on it" when we wait. I expect it to be immediately available when opened; the same as previous Windows 7.  Do you have the same problem? How can we get around that?

I want to put 2 partitions on my USB stick: first one (so Windows can see it) with FAT32 (so also macOS can write to it) and a second one, bootable with  on it.  I started looking how to partition the stick and I discovered that Disk Utility will not let me create partitions on the USB stick (the button is disabled), let alone configure the partition as bootable in the MBR.  There is plenty of ways to do that on GNU/Linux, other also works on Windows but I didn't find anything for macOS. Is there any free (as a beer) way to do that?

I want to do a clean install of el capitan OS. I booted to recovery mode, chose reinstall os x and followed the steps. So far so good. When it came to choose the destination disk where I wanted to install the OS, it did not show any hard drive, i.e Macintosh HD was not shown so I could select it. I figured I had to format it first. So I close the installation and went to Disk Utility. The problem is Disk Utility is stuck at loading and does not show anything.   My OS is corrupted, that is the reason why I want to do a fresh installation. With corrupted I mean, I can boot my system only if I go to single-mode and mount the hard drive with mount -uw / and then exit. But this is not a long term solution. I search everywhere in the web and there are many solutions out there, but none worked form me.  I tried erasing and formatting the hard drive when in single-mode with the help of diskutil. But this did not work because the DiskManagement Framework was missing. So I tried loading the files manually with launchctl. But still I can not use diskutil in single-mode.   I tried also fsck, it did not do any good.   I ran out of options. I don't know what to do.  Here is an image when I try to erase the partition via Disk Utility    And here is an image when I try to reinstall the OS. No Hard disk is shown to select

I tried everything on this page:  except Open Firmware (Intel macs doesn't support this).  Then I tried using the terminal but this didn't work either.  Every time I bootup my mac the drive tries to eject it but it can't. I ran the Apple Hardware Test (hold d on startup) and it sayed that all is fine. (it also tested the slot in drive).  And I put my mac upside down and booted it up (hoped that the cd could come out) but it didn't work. (same problem)  How can I get that out of my slot in drive? Mayby with a tweezer?  Any ideas?  PS: in finder there's no visible cd and in the diskutility there's nothing too

With 11.04 I could read and write my partitions that was created in Windows however after upgrading to 11.10 somehow I can only read those partitions. How do I enable this ability in 11.10?

I made the biggest mistake of my adult life and installed Yosemite without backing up my HDD. Fortunately, I do have most of my actual files and programs saved to my external HDD, but that leads to another problem.  I use a lot of 3rd party apps to make music, and they are not compatible with 10.10 i.e. Pro Tools etc. I formatted my HDD in an attempt to start over but it keeps reinstalling Yosemite from the Internet.  I've made several USB boot drives but when they go to load up it just gives me "international no" sign (see image below).  Can someone please help me as my work/life is tied in to my studio. Oh also my external HDD is now all of a sudden read-only NTFS instead of Mac read/write enabled.

I have encountered a nearly identical issue to the one  (and this too: ), but my hard drive's main partition is formatted in APFS. When I tried correcting the GUID error as shown in the answer, after reaching the step in which the following command: gpt add -i 2 -b 409640 -s 372637568 -t APFS /disk0 had to be entered, it returned an error: usage: gpt add [-b lba] [-i index] [-s lba] [-t uuid] device ....     I cannot boot into macOS, my computer is in internet recovery environment. What's the uuid of the new APFS format? I cannot seem to find it anywhere in the web, and my computer isn't detecting the type of the main macOS partition. My computer's model: MacBook Pro late 2013. My data is not backed up and I would really love to recover it. Update:  gpt -r show disk0:    Update: I created a MacOS High Sierra Installation disk, and rebooted to it. The new disk utility does not recognize the disk0s2 partition at all, and diskutil list included the size of the main osx partition in GUID_partition_scheme part of the disk. Would it be possible (and how) to recover the data of the deleted partition (s2) if I reinstalled macOS on an existing unused partition (the Linux partition disk0s4)?

I installed Windows 8 on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp. Now I've figured out I should have made the Windows 8 partition bigger. Is this safe to attempt using Disk Utility? If not, how do I go about accomplishing this?
