Yes, this is dangerous and uncertain. Just to be safe, and to plan for the worst, expect that all your partitions will be destroyed by the process, and that you may need to reformat your entire hard drive and re-partition it to the new partition scheme that you require, after which you will have to restore your Mac OS X volumes and your Windows Boot Camp partition and restore your Windows installation to that new partition. You had better make a complete backup of every partition to external hard drives before you do anything. You can use the donation-ware utility Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your existing Mac partitions (Macintosh HD and the hidden Recovery HD) to an external hard drive formatted for Mac OS Extended (Journaled). You should purchase whatever Windows software is necessary (Symantec Ghost, etc.) to clone your Windows partition while booted into Windows itself. You should clone it to a different external hard drive formatted for Windows NTFS. Only once you are sure that all your partitions are backed up should you undertake the re-partitioning in Disk Utility.
Mar 28, 2017 - At times, initially created Boot Camp partition needs more space, therefore. Enlarge the size of your Windows Boot Camp partition on a Mac hard drive. To resize your boot camp partition like normal resizing process in Mac. Oct 28, 2008 BootCamp - how to repartition hard drive?. Thread starter HotDogy; Start. And now need to reduce it down, so I can add back more space to my MAC OS partition. That it is possible to use a program like Partition Magic. And some people who say that it's not possible. My MAC OS drive is in FAT 32. And my BootCamp drive.
If you are fortunate, everything will go well and you will not need to re-install anything. But since you cannot be sure that this will happen, you would be very wise to have backups of everything first. I think that trying to go with two versions of OS X in addition to BootCamp and Windows would probably not work. When you install Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks, it wants to create a new hidden, secret Recovery HD. So each Mac OS X is in fact two partitions, not one. Having multiple Recovery HD partitions would be really complicated. There may be a way to get around this, but it may not work.
Back up everything to its own hard drive in its own native file format before you try to change anything. – user9290 Jun 5 '14 at 17:22.
While businesses continue migrating to cloud-based services, which increasingly demonstrate browser agnosticism supporting Windows, Mac, UNIX and Linux users alike, legions of OS X business users still seek Windows applications on their local desktop and laptop computers. Provides the for running Windows on a Mac, as the free platform simplifies the process, maximizes performance, and helps eliminate resource and training issues that plague virtual machines.
Boot Camp isn't foolproof, however. Proper partition configuration, however, can help eliminate common errors. Proper sizing The common problem my consultancy addresses results when business users or previous IT practitioners fail to allocate sufficient disk space when creating the OS X Boot Camp partition. Reserving too little space on a volume, obviously, leaves users with insufficient space for installing Windows Updates and new Windows applications and storing photographs, videos and other new files. Apple, in an older, notes partitions must be at least 5GB in size. Typically, 5GB will prove entirely insufficient, however. Apple's (published for OS X 10.8 users), notes users should reserve at least 30GB for Windows 8 partitions.
When creating Boot Camp partitions, I recommend reserving a minimum of 20GB for the OS and update files and another 7GB for office productivity tools and business applications. An additional 10GB should typically be reserved for Windows file storage. Apple's new OS X 10.8 Boot Camp Assistant, in addition to presenting a manual partition sizing option, provides only a Divide Equally button when partitioning a disk.
I believe halving a disk isn't the best option when configuring a Windows partition and that administrators must, instead, perform basic calculations as to how much space should be reserved for the following:. The OS and OS updates (again, I recommend reserving at least 20GB). Office productivity tools and business applications (7GB, minimum). File storage (10GB, minimum) Consideration must also be given to the amount of mail a user maintains, as well as the business applications the user employs.
While 7GB should work well for most, if a user stores inordinate (more than 2GB) mail, performs video editing tasks, maintains QuickBooks accounting records, or leverages CAD software, even more partition space will be required. Mac users whose OS X computers possess multiple internal hard drives, such as occurs with Mac Pros, will have another choice: which hard disk should receive the Windows installation? Because Boot Camp can configure a Windows partition on a second internal disk, business users may select a second (non-OS X) drive to host the Windows installation. Apple notes that Mac users seeking to load Boot Camp on a second internal disk must remove disks in lower numbered bays during the installation. Once the Boot Camp installation is complete, the lower numbered drive bay disks may be reconnected.
Business administrators loading Boot Camp on a Mac Pro should pay special attention to a notice on Apple's. According to Apple, Boot Camp is not supported on a Mac using RAID (specifically a Mac Pro RAID card or software-based RAID). Partition management Often, the need to adjust existing partitions arises. Apple, within its FAQ, unequivocally states third-party disk management tools should not be used: 'Important: Do not use disk utilities not created by Apple to partition the drive before using Boot Camp Assistant. Doing so may erase the entire disk.'
However, my office has tapped. The utility, now updated for OS X Mountain Lion, enables repartitioning without reformatting and supports Boot Camp installations, specifically Windows XP 32-bit, Windows Vista (32 and 64-bit) and Windows 7 (32 and 64-bit), according to its technical documentation.
When resizing partitions, administrators should always first confirm a verified backup exists. Only then should partition-resizing efforts occur. When partitions must be resized, administrators should also consider leveraging a dedicated defragmentation tool (Coriolis offers ) to help optimize disk storage and performance. Related Topics.
