Apple has acknowledged the issue and has posted a KB article which I've linked at the bottom of this post. I have no affiliation with any of the above products - merely a happy user.I can replicate this. You could experiment to see which would be your best long-term or repeatable solution.

They each do slightly different things, so which you choose is up to you - Paragon I know does a fully-working trial version, I'm not sure about Two Canoes.įull backups of any existing data should, of course, be in place before starting.
There are no other apps I'm aware of that can do the same tasks. Unless you really feel up to the task of in effect 'knitting your own hard drive' then the smart money is onĮach of these can handle Boot Camp partitions without breaking anything. There are many tutorials on this, but there are also many failed cases on SE with similar results to above. That's one guy I've ever met who can fix these things, out of all the people on here - some of whom are very clever indeed.įor many people, their go-to solution is rEFInd - freeware. We did have one guy on AD who could actually do this by hand from Terminal, giving specific answers for specific fail-cases but he doesn't seem to be around so much these days. Super User & Ask Different are both littered with hundreds of disparate ways people have managed to do this & been unable to fix it without just wiping & starting over. If you touch the partitioning from inside Windows, you will break the whole drive. If you add the ExFAT first, Boot Camp Assistant will refuse to repartition.Īpple's Disk Utility will only allow a maximum of 4 partitions on a drive there are already 3 before you start this, EFI, Recovery & Macintosh HD. I have an external hard drive enclosure, so I can do a lot of this before actually putting the drive in my laptop. Does anyone see any problems with this scheme?

In this scheme, I would format the entire 2TB drive as GPT HFS+, install macOS Sierra, then create a 750gb Boot Camp partition and install Windows 10, finally followed by shrinking the NTFS portion of Boot Camp and creating a 250gb exFAT partition with Partition Wizard (while booted under Windows in Boot Camp). Would my strategy of making these partitions beforehand work?Īlternatively, user iamthem wrote here that a Boot Camp partition may be shrunk and repartitioned using Partition Wizard in Windows, after setting up the Boot Camp partition. (As an aside, why is this the case? Does Windows get confused about where to boot from?) The authors of the posts I just linked made their exFAT partition after installing macOS and setting up Boot Camp. Does anyone have experience with this? I have read here, here and here that extra partitions on the drive can break Boot Camp. I got the idea to format the drive using a Windows machine to preserve compatibility after reading this).

My initial thought was to format the whole drive as a GPT drive with a 1500gb HFS+ partition for macOS and a 250gb exFAT partition before using Boot Camp to create a 500gb partition to install Windows (More specifically, formatting the drive with a Windows machine to have two exFAT partitions, and then erasing one of those partitions to HFS+ on a Mac before installing macOS. (The files will be large microscopy image data too large to share on Dropbox.) I know I can use an external drive to transfer files, but I'd like to have a shared partition for data sharing on the internal drive if possible. My question is: Is there a way to create a shared partition on the internal drive for sharing data between the two OS's? I want to have 1250gb for Sierra, 500gb for Windows, and 250gb shared.
#MACOS SIERRA BOOTCHAMP WINDOWS 10#
I plan to install macOS Sierra, followed by Windows 10 (Education edition) with Boot Camp. I've ordered a 2TB Crucial MX500 SSD to put in my 2012 MBP (A1278) (I'm also replacing the hard drive cable and putting in 16gb of RAM).
