Justtoday i noticed that my bootcamp drive is not showing in startup disk in system preference. I am using 10.11 El Capitan. However, I have been able to boot to both of the OS's pressing the 'option' key. And also disk utility is not showing the bootcamp partition. But in finder, it shows the partition. When I try the disk utility in recovery mode, there it shows the bootcamp partition. But not in OS X.
When I select the BootCamp partition in recovery mode, the first aid option grey's out. So, I cannot first aid it. Also, When I choose startup disk in recovery mode, bootcamp shows up there. But when I return to OS X, it wont show there. Thanks for the quick response.
Well the first aid went without a issue. When i select windows, it boots me to windows and when i select OS X it boots me to OS x. Oh I see, you mean I can change the startup disk from recovery. I can also change the startup disk from windows bootcamp control panel but then i cannot change in os x. Anyways thanks!?
Uninstall Paragon temporarily, and ensure that the KEXTs (Kernel Extensions) that it installs are removed. Apple Startup Disk will refuse to show any NTFS partition(s) that it does not control. This is documented in _
wp.paragon-software.com/article/204 . If you are on El Capitan, there may be additional issues. I suggest creating a Tech Support request for Paragon folks.
Every time I try to make a bootable USB to windows I tried using startup disk creator and power iso and both haven't worked. I have a 16gb usb Ive formated it over at lease 20 times now trying and it doesn't work. I have flashed drive before and this time on linux is the most frustrating one.
I have a Mac Pro (early 2009) running Yosemite 10.10.2, all up to date. Yosemite is installed on my primary SSD (I have 2 additional magnetic drives). I use Boot Camp, and have Windows 8.1 installed on the same SSD alongside Yosemite.
If I hold down the option key on boot, I see both Mac OS and Windows as options in the boot disk selection screen, plus some recovery options. This works fine, and I can successfully boot into either from there:
My problem is that I want to make the default boot Windows (it is currently defaulting to Mac OS - so every time I restart from Windows I have to remember to hold option and select Windows), but I can't do this from Mac OS -> System Prefs -> Startup Disk, because I only see Mac OS as an option, there is no option for Windows:
I'm guessing something is borked here but I have no idea why or how to solve this, any ideas? As far as I can tell my disk is partitioned fine, everything is healthy. This is the Windows partition in disk utility, I've thought about hitting 'Repair Disk' in disk utility but I have no idea what that will do and I don't want to screw up Windows:
I found a different way that worked for me. Not only was the Bootcamp showing only the generic name (Windows) of my Windows 7 partition and not its true name (SSD Windows), but the startup preferences menu likewise omitted to list my Windows partition as a startup option.
I need to have Windows available, so I decided to install Windows 7 on my Mac. I recently upgraded to macOS 10.12 Sierra Public Beta (currently, I have PB 2), but I don't think that the problem is here because of the beta OS (I had the same issue few years ago on production version of OS).
I tried to run Boot Camp Assistant, but when I click Continue, message with text "Not enough space on startup disk to repartition. You must have at least 50GB of free space." (I have macOS in Czech, so I translated it), which is weird. I have 63GB free and I have SSD (128GB), so there shouldn't be any problem with fragmentation.
I have the same Problem, because when i look in detail on my disk space it says 90 GB free, but there is a lot of "purgeable" space in this 90 GB that is blocking too much of my entire ssd space and i don't know how to delete it. So Boot Camp says not enough free space....
I simply opened Time Machine Preferences, clicked the Lock Icon to unlock and make changes. Then I unchecked the box next to Back Up Automatically under the TM Icon. Finally I restarted my Mac. When I turned my Mac back on to check the storage all the purgeable data was gone which freed up over 70 GB on my SSD. Afterwards I went back into the TM preferences and rechecked the Back Up Automatically box. After restarting my computer a second time I saw that the purgeable data was still gone.
The issue is that the "OSXRESERVED" partition, that is created as part of the bootcamp process, is only 8GB in size. The drivers and ISO files need to save in this partition during the process and the 8GB is no longer enough to accommodate these files.
I had the same problem.Mine complained I did not have enough space, need 42GB.I had 45, then 50, cleaned more and more, eventually it worked after deleting lotsof stuff.In total about double the space it says you need.So, you need about 90-95GB to get the go-ahead.
So ive created a usb disk for Ubuntu many times but i now want to install windows on my gaming rig. I went through the same process (creating ubuntu boot disk) and its fine but when i do it with the windows iso it failed on me, im trying again now but any help woukd be great
Startup disk creator knows how to write ubuntu based isos because of the way the operating system is structured.Windows and OSX have different file structure.The tool that i would advise to use is _info_winusb.html
To create a Windows 10 startup disk, you need to know what it is and what it can do for you. A startup disk, also called a boot disk, is a recovery media that can be used to start Windows, if the Windows computer is damaged or corrupted somehow. With a startup disk, you can troubleshoot the boot issues problems without loading the OS. However, a startup disk or boot disk is not an installation disk, that means you cannot use a startup disk to install Windows. Well, how to create a Windows 10 startup disk?
To successfully create Windows 10 startup disk, the easiest way is to use a professional utility. And here we highly recommend you AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional. This software comes with the "Make Bootable Media", which can help make a bootable drive to boot your computer when it cannot start up as usual. Besides, the bootable media contains the pre-installed AOMEI Partition Assistant to help you troubleshoot the boot problems. Below is how to complete this task:
Step 1. Connect the USB flash drive or CD/DVD to your PC based-on Windows 10. Launch AOMEI Partition Assistant. To create Windows 10 startup disk, here you need to select Tools > Make Bootable Media in the main interface to get into make bootable media wizard, and click Next to continue.
With the Windows 10 boot disk you created by AOMEI Partition Assistant, you can try to repair your corrupted PC - When you boot your unbootable PC with this bootable USB drive, you will get into AOMEI Partition Assistant program. And then, you can use it to repair your corrupted PC:
Step 1. You may get into BIOS to change boot order so that you can boot your PC with this Windows 10 startup PC. When you get into AOMEI Partition Assistant, choose the system disk and right-click it, select Rebuild MBR.
AOMEI Partition Assistant should be a great Windows 10 startup disk creator. As you can see, it not only can help you create Windows 10 startup disk, but also can help you repair your corrupted computer. If you upgrade to AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional edition, you can get more advanced features, such as creating Windows 10 bootable USB with current OS for booting any computer with your own Windows 10 operating system in everywhere, converting disk between MBR and GPT without losing data etc. It is worth owning.
To make a startup disk (also known as a system recovery disk) inWindows 95, 98, or Me, you need a blank, formatted, 3.5" floppy disk. Make sure the disk does not contain any files that you would like to keep; when you make the startup disk, all files on the disk are erased and are not recoverable.
The Windows 95 startup disk does not contain the files needed to load your CD-ROM drive. Access to the CD-ROM is crucial if you would like to format your hard drive and install or reinstall Windows 95 or 98 from a clean hard drive.
The Windows 98 and Windows Me startup disks are different from theWindows 95 disk, in that they will automatically load your CD-ROMdrivers if you have a commonly supported CD-ROM. Also, the content ofthe Windows 98 and Windows Me startup disk is different from theWindows 95 disk, in that some of the more common hardware diagnostictools, such as ScanDisk and Format, are in a file calledEbd.cab and must be extracted in order to use them. Youcan copy or run them from the Windows 98 or Windows Me CD itself fromthe directory :\Win98 (wherecdromdriveletter is the CD-ROM drive name on yourcomputer).
You can also make a boot disk in Windows 95 or Windows 98 byformatting a new disk and checking the box for Copy system filesbefore you format. This will not copy all the files that areon the startup disk, but it will have enough on it to start yourcomputer in MS-DOS mode if that is all you wish to do.This is not an option in Windows Me.
Hi,
I 've got the problem that I activate the full disk encryption and then the computer requires a reboot to set the password and so on. The problem is that the window to set the password does not shows up but also I am not able to boot from the windows boot manager anymore.

In order to properly diagnose this is the issue please can you use the Recovery Utility to grab the disk information of affected system, steps on that can be viewed here, the process will only take a few minutes - -eset-encryption-recovery-utility-diagnostics#DisplayDiskInfo
