Windows NTFS and especially Windows 7 uses different offsets for the start of partitions, which will impact any attempt to resize. All it is after all is a linux CD, not something you install/uninstall. Find a commercial program paid support before you say "no way." Free lunch is asking too much.
Winclone vs camptune update#
WinClone has its own problems, especially if it discovers there was a bad block, only shows up during the restore, and doesn't do smart backup images so you can't update your backup once made, it is a one time full backup only.ĬampTune was / is beta, free, "at your own risk" ware. I'd rate them better than Acronis has been over the last year+ for system imaging, backup, and partitioning (2010 version is suppose to cure the ills of the last year though).

Winclone vs camptune for mac os#
However the data on windows might need salvaging in that way.Paragon makes a very good NTFS driver for Mac OS X, and they are trying it seems, and added some support to their Windows program. One thing you can do to recover the windows data is to let Windows do a repair but it is highly likely that it will convert the whole disk to MBR and you be loosing the OS X partition requiring total reinstall. PS It depends on how valuable your Windows data is and how valuable your OS X data is. Prior to that I had under windows also some spectacular Paragon failures. (no affiliation, just a very happy user)Įdit: I remember testing Paragon out 18 months or so ago and it failed miserably. Hopefully you have a backup of the Bootcamp partition made with Winclone before you started to fiddle around which you can restore. I know of one firm that was backing up a dummy disk for years and when they had a HDD fail there was no data to restore - never tested with real data). You'd be surprised how many make a backup and never have done a restore and when it comes to the crumch the restore does not work.

I gave up long time ago trying to run Bootcamp on the same drive as OS X for that very reason (I need an ultra reliable method to restore quickly if needed I need a stable system - down time can cost me dearly Unfortunately most people give only a token thought towards backups. Any fiddling aorund with the bootcamp partitioning and you run the risk of corruption and it looks like it happened here. 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. 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. 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.
