This will be your Windows OS, program files and bare bones user partition free of nearly all users files. Click on First Partition named: BOOTCAMP (like that) and given a MSDOS format.Option key boot off the OS X clone drive, use Disk Utility to target the internal drive for a Partition format. Make a list of anything you'll miss in Windows, emails, passwords, programs, export bookmarks etc. Get into Windows and backup files to a regular external drive, your going to need to reinstall Windows into BootCamp.
I saw there is a way to revert CoreStorage using Terminal but what all would that affect? There must have been a reason they switched, so what would I be missing out on by reverting?Īlso,how would i revert back? It looks like it involves Terminal commands, which I have never really used.Īny help getting this sorted would be wonderful!Ĭarbon Copy Cloner OS X to a external OS X Ext J blank powered drive, hold option key at boot to test it out. I am not very knowledgeable with Terminal or CoreStorage so i'm not sure where to proceed. I was doing some research and it seems that when Apple switched to using CoreStorage that it messed up some capabilities with partitioning/bootcamp. If I can get my Mac HD partition smaller, then I can expand my bootcamp partition from the Windows side. Tried using Disk Utility to resize my Macintosh HD logical partition smaller but it's greyed out.
I tried researching some solutions but haven't had any luck. Everything is working perfect with that! Problem is, when I made it I misjudged how much space I would need(project files for work get pretty big) so I would like to resize it a bit bigger. So Basically this is my first Mac (rMBP late-2013 11,3) and I did a bootcamp partition.
