Oct 07, 2019  Note: If you want to run Windows on your Mac, Apple's Boot Camp assistant will automatically make a partition for you. Here's how to install Windows. It is important to note that partitioning your hard drive also splits up your available hard drive space. Each partition will take up a portion of your usable storage.

The solution is to fix the Master Boot Record and tell it that it should add the Windows 7 Bootcamp partition to the bootable drives list it has. Apr 18, 2014  It's just not showing up on the boot up screen when I restart while holding the option key. It shows up on disk utility (shows up through recovery partition disk utility as well), I can even view the files on Bootcamp as Read-Only through my Mac partition's file explorer. Jan 01, 1970 Just today i noticed that my bootcamp drive is not showing in startup disk in system preference. I am using 10.11 El Capitan.

I see that my mac partition is still the same size as i left it (500 GB) while its missing the windows partition (250 GB).
