[QUOTE="TheWorldOnFire, post: 1425635, member: 262474"] While boot camp was partitioning my drive (200GB allocated to Windows), it quit with no explanation (no "report problem" alert), it just exited. I thought maybe it had finished partitioning and just didn't restart, so I figured I would reboot and just choose the windows startup disk and install it to the partition. To my surprise the partition did not exist. When I went to disk utility (in OSX Lion), it said that 336 gigs were used (previously it was 136). I am trying to get that space back. I installed windows again (this time it worked), thinking that it might do something to make my computer realize it had more free space. I have looked for over 3 hours for a solution and tried many different solutions. 1. Reset PRAM/NVRAM 2. Tried to repair the hard drive from the startup disk 3. Ran fsck in single user mode (/sbin/fsck/ -f) Any help would be appreciated. Screenshot of disk utility: [url]http://i.imgur.com/5S3DO.jpg[/url] [/QUOTE]
