[QUOTE="nextiger, post: 1339031, member: 24263"] So I was trying to partition my hd so I could install windows via boot camp. I was using the boot camp assistant and in the middle of the partitioning process. It was taking forever to partition...like over an hour and was about 3/4 of the way done. All of a sudden a screen pops up saying that I need to restart my computer, but the partition was not done yet. I restarted my computer. Now when I go back into boot camp assistant to try and finish the windows installation, it says I don't have enough free space for a disk partition and won't let me do anything. Before I started to attempt the partition I had roughly 40gb free disk space. Now it says I only have 24gb free space. So Im guessing that there is a partition somewhere. Problem is...when I go into the disk utility, I only see the partition for my Mac HD and the rest is just free space. Im really not sure what I should do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I thought about restoring to a previous time machine back up but realized that I don't have the mac start up disk in order to do a restore. Please Help. Thanks [/QUOTE]
