I looked at Disk Utility and it shows 3 internal disks: I activated my Paragon NTFS layer and was able to mount the Bootcamp partition in macOS, but at some point after that (not entire sure when exactly), the partition wouldn't mount in macOS anymore, and I lost the ability to see/select it in the Startup Disk pane of my preferences. When I booted back into macOS, at first, things seemed to have worked out ok. At the end of this process, which only took a few short minutes, I had a Windows partition of about 76GB (not sure why it didn't give me the other 4GB.overhead?). I forget exactly why, but the bootcamp assistant didn't allow me to change the size, after the fact, so after some Google searches I found instructions on how to resize the partitions from Windows, using a free program from MiniTools.Īfter shrinking my macOS system partition from within macOS High Sierra by 30GB, I switched over to Windows 10 and followed the instructions and attempted to resize the Windows/Bootcamp partition from 50GB to 80GB, but every time I dragged out that partition to fill the available space, it would pop back to fill only *half* of the available space, so I kept doing this a few times until there were only 175MB of free space left between the macOS partition and the Windows partition, which MiniTools didn't allow me to claim for the Windows partition.īeing new to that tool, I didn't realize that each time I dragged the partition out to fill more space, it added this as a separate action, so when I hit "Apply", it went through 6 or 7 separate resize steps. I have a mid-2012 Retina MBP with macOS 10.13.3, and had my Bootcamp partition with Windows 10 working very nicely when I realised that I had given it too little space. Since this older thread on the topic doesn't allow replies anymore, I am opening the topic again, as per suggestion from the board.
