bootcamp 5.1, with a VM installed as Windows 8.1 upgraded to 10 (It was the upgrade to win 10 that took my freespace down to zero). My setup: Early 2014 MBP Retina 15", OS X Yosemite, 512 SSD encrypted with file vault. I was in a similar situation that most people, I rarely use bootcamp I'm mostly in OS X so I originally created a 60 Gigabyte p artition, and I was often fighting for space in spite of only really using web browsers and MS office, so wanted to increase to 90Gig. Thought I'd my experience because while this is an old thread, it still comes up pretty high on the google searches. But I have to say that my experience was flawless and the $19.99 was TOTALLY worth it. I have seen others have problems due to FAT partitions and matching versions of Mac OS with a compatible version of Camptune. I realize that I might be a slightly different situtation than most with a new/clean machine already formatted to NTFS. The whole process (front to back) took about 15 minutes. I just installed CampTune X (through a digital download), installed the product, and changed my partition size. I did some searching online before beginning the process and I'm so glad I did. before going futher down the path of getting my machine "all set up" and ready to use. I felt I had made a mistake to not make my Bootcamp partition larger.īecause I had just bought the computer (and had only invested a day of my time) I figured that I would bit the bullet and go throught the process of killing my Bootcamp partition, recreating it, reinstalling Windows, etc. Within hours I had second thoughts because I will use this machine primarily as a Windows machine. 250GB for the Mac and Windows/Bootcamp partitions). When I made the bootcamp partition I split my drive 50/50 (i.e.
I used Bootcamp to create a partition (formatted NTFS - that was the only choice) and installed Windows 7 professional. Since the original post is from 2011, I though I would offer the experience I had recently with Camptune.ĬONTEXT: Yesterday, I bought a new MacBook Pro (Retina, 13"). Hope this saves someone the headaches I had! third time was a charm! Worked perfectly and both partitions are now humming away nicely. (there was some evidence from postings online that this is a problem) Then, in Mac OS disk utility, I ran repair disk. In Mac OS disk utility partition tab, I stretched the Mac partition to include all of the space between the 2 partitions. second try generated a 'cross-linked files' error. First try to resize the partition generated a Disk i/o error. (I have read lots of unfortunate stories from people that didnt backup before using CampTune so back it up and save yourself.)
CampTune includes a nifty little backup tool for the paranoid folks like myself. CampTune requires that you burn a cd then boot from that cd. after purchase, product key didnt work but Paragon corrected after 24 hours waiting So, in case anyone else has the same challenges, here's my $0.02: In the end, it was well worth the $20 but there were headaches along the way. When I discovered I couldn't increase the size of my BC partition without deleting and reinstalling it, I was pretty desperate to try anything that would not create the days of work involved. After reading lots of threads about CampTune, I thought I would post my experience in case anyone else tries it.
