As of now it’s used around 11 GB where as it was pretty much empty before any of these operations. The fileis getting downloaded as there is a change in drive capacity. I am sleep deprived so fell asleep while waiting the last time and even after 4 hours or so it was still stuck there. Then it finishes, goes into a grey screen(pic below)with a loading circle for quite some time, and restarts but ends up hanging when it does where it’s stuck on a semi white screen with a loading circle showing it’s loading. It downloads and goes through the installation.

When I go through internet recovery, it downloads mavericks 10.9 for me and attempts to install. However it doesn’t necessarily increase each time that I have noticed, only when attempting both this and the below method did the Used amount increase from what I noticed. Some files are getting written because I see the capacity of the drive being reduced when I relaunch into Utility menu. I had to force restart due to that a few times even if I let it continue it seems to get stuck at 18minutes remaining, around 5% of the way through. It starts installing and gets stuck at 2 minutes remaining, around 85% of the way through.
#BOOTCHAMP OSX INSTALL#
So after that didn’t work, I said screw it and just tried to install sierra using the bootdrive and launched it. I tried the lsof |grep disk0 command to see if there are any process running, but it doesn’t give me a response, nothing happens no errors or a response, but it does run the command because if I try to quit terminal it tells me so. When I run verify/repair it goes through without issues the last time I ran. I tried booting through it and force unmounting and erasing disk0s2 (diskutil eraseVolume and diskutil unmountDiskforce JHFS+) before install but in both cases it failed at the unmounting part. I created a bootdrive with high sierra as I got recommended to do so on another forum since OS X Mavericks is really old even though that was what was last installed on it. I have been attempting to reinstall macOS X on it and it was getting stuck at a certain point. What are my options?Īlright so none of my attempts at erasing or unmounting disk0s2 worked.

What can I do to resolve this? Is there anyway the files are still there? I was hoping maybe I could reinstall OSX then repair the Bootcamp drive some how. When I click the 02 and bootcamp drives, they only show capacity now, and “-“ all other info. I tried fsck fy in singleuser mode but it gave a command not found error. Verifying and repairing gives errors, and can’t be mounted. So I went back and now the drive is greyed out again. I felt positive then went to try and do a reinstall of OS X, but can’t select that drive because it’s in MS-DOS(FAT32) format. I cannot erase them.Īt one point when I clicked verify on 02, it gave an error “Unable to repair while live”. It only showed disk02, recovery HD, bootcamp and under disk 1 OSX Base System. I selected recovery and went into disk utility. If I select bootcamp, the above explained situation happens. To my surprised it only showed Recovery and Bootcamp options. So then I forced a reboot with the powerbutton. The initial music plays and then it plays a a very tiny clip of that music and stays stuck on a black screen with no errors sort of like when a game freezes and the music clips and loops. Well it completed the process and rebooted, but it doesn’t load up. So I used mini partition tool to merge that and the bootcamp drive, it asked me to restart and I did.
#BOOTCHAMP OSX WINDOWS 8.1#
I had a small partition that I had made in my boot camp windows 8.1 that I wasn’t using. It was stupid of me to take this so lightly.
