Instead, I needed to insert my Win7 64bit DVD and click OK when it was looking for the Windows install disk: That won’t work: using Boot Camp Assistant 4.0.1 (429), if you do that, the new BOOTCAMP partition will not be created. ![]() ![]() “When it asks for Windows disk, quit Boot Camp Assistant.” So far, this process seems to work (I am restoring my Winclone backup now…so far so good).īut in step 6 under increasing partition size it says: usr/sbin/asr restore –noverify –puppetstrings -noprompt -erase –source “/Volumes/External PT Drive/bootcampbackup.winclone/Windows.dmg” –target “/dev/disk0s3” 1>&2 did not complete successfullyĪnybody have any clue?

ThanksĪ tip for anyone trying to increase their BOOTCAMP partitions size: Return value of /usr/sbin/asr restore –noverify –puppetstrings -noprompt -erase –source “/Volumes/External PT Drive/bootcampbackup.winclone/Windows.dmg” –target “/dev/disk0s3” 1>&2 is 256 usr/sbin/asr restore –noverify –puppetstrings -noprompt -erase –source “/Volumes/External PT Drive/bootcampbackup.winclone/Windows.dmg” –target “/dev/disk0s3” 1>&2Ĭould not change the partition type for /dev/disk0s3 – Cannot allocate memory Tried Winclone again and again, got errors trying to restore. I got all the way through the Windows install and rebooted to the Mac side. The only way I figured to do that was to go ahead and let bootcamp start to install Windows 7 (which errors at the start, asking to convert the target install drive to NTFS). It errored out on the restore, so I assumed that it needed the target partition to be NTFS. I then relaunched the Bootcamp utility on the Mac side and had it create a 150GB windows partition (which it did automatically as FAT32) and relaunched Winclone. I then wiped the bootcamp partition, so the drive was entirely HFS. I was able to clone the Bootcamp partition from it’s original 400GB size down to a 8GB *.winclone file. “/Library/NTFSProgs/ntfsclone” –rescue -f -f -f -O “/dev/disk0s3” /dev/disk1 1>&2 did not complete successfully Return value of “/Library/NTFSProgs/ntfsclone” –rescue -f -f -f -O “/dev/disk0s3” /dev/disk1 1>&2 is 256 “/Library/NTFSProgs/ntfsclone” –rescue -f -f -f -O “/dev/disk0s3” /dev/disk1 1>&2ĮRROR(16): Opening ‘/dev/disk1’ as NTFS failed: Resource busy usr/bin/hdiutil attach -nomount “/Users/gerayeremin/Documents/Bootcamp_Back.winclone/Windows.dmg” usr/sbin/diskutil unmount “/dev/disk0s3″return value of unmount is 0 Read image file…/Users/gerayeremin/Documents/Bootcamp_Back.winclone/size. ![]() Reading image file…/Users/gerayeremin/Documents/Bootcamp_Back.winclone/size.
