Follow all of the instructions including inserting your Windows 7 installation disk and the click the “Install” button. Now exit DiskUtil and fire up the BootCamp Assistant and create your BootCamp partition to whatever size you want.

Next, inside of DiskUtil, drag/resize your Mac partition to the full size of your new HD and apply it.

Now, inside OS X, fire up DiskUtil and delete your BootCamp partition (yes, it needs to be deleted as far as I can tell, and again, I tried a ton of other stuff).

Those commands just made your Mac’s GPT recognize the full size of your new HD instead of the 500GB (or whatever size your source disk was) size. Finally type “w” (Write table to disk and exit) and hit “Enter”. Now type “e” (move backup GPT data structures to the end of the disk) and hit “Enter”. Inside of gdisk, type “x” (for expert mode) and hit “Enter”. Fire up Terminal on your Mac and execute “sudo gdisk”.

Now fire up OS X and download and install GPT Fdisk on the Mac side.

At this point, switch out your old and new HDs so that the new HD is inside the Mac (if you’re just cloning your Boot Camped HD to a new, same sized HD, apparently this should do ya and you’re done.

The issue is that it is indeed exact, my old HD was 500GB and my new 750GB HD was using only 500GB, but both Windows and BootCamp were bootable/working (a major feat in my book).

This creates an EXACT duplicate of your ENTIRE HD, the boot, OS X, and BootCamp/Windows partitions, and it worked flawlessly for me.

This will take a few hours to run depending on your HD size. Go ahead and start Clonezilla and be sure to choose the source and target HDs properly and choose device-to-device and HD-to-HD for copying.

After you have burned Clonezilla, attach your new HD to your computer somehow (I used USB) and then fire up Clonezilla and run it taking all the default options until you get to the “Start_Clonezilla Start Clonezilla” menu option.

Clonezilla is the ONLY solution (and believe me, I tried many, including Paragon’s pay-for solution, CampTune, that proved useless) I have found that will accurately copy/clone and/or resize both the BootCamp/Windows AND the OS X partitions accurately (I know it runs partclone and some other stuff, but it’s got a “wizard” ).

Next, I download Clonezilla’s bootable ISO and burned it to a CD and booted it.

This is similar to a chkdsk /f on Windows.

Second, you’ll want to boot from the OS X install DVD and run DiskUtil and do a “Repair” (hold down the Option key, it changes the buttons at the top and “Repair” becomes available) on your OS X partition.It will have to reboot as it won’t be able to lock the drive while it’s in use. First of all, make sure to run a “chkdsk /f” from the command line in your (BootCamp) Windows partition.

I’m going to outline the process that I did to get this to work (you’ll need both the Windows 7 and Mac OS X install DVDs, not to mention a couple of blank CDs to burn): Not TrueImage, DiskDirector, Cop圜atX, VolumeWorks, CampTune, or GParted (or any combination of those that I tried) worked for this. This apparently is not nearly as straight-forward as it probably should be, unfortunately. I hope this is helpful to someone other than me, as nothing I tried that I found via online searching worked. And the Device Manager where you can see the current setup.Īny ideas are much appreciated.Below is my multi-day adventure into cloning my (BootCamped) Mac’s HD onto a larger HD. See attached some screenshots of the Task Manager which shows the eGPU in operation. I am still getting the minimum requirements warning message and the black screens on the games.

I have asked Oculus support is this one 100% USB 3.0 and they confirmed it is, but I wonder why it is still showing the error if this is the case.Īnyway, due to the minimum requirements warning message, I got an eGPU (Radeon Pro WX5100 & Razer Core), installed this (which took ages as there was issues with the drivers) and have disabled the built in Radeon Pro 560, but this has not made any difference. It also gives me the warning message that the cable I am using is not USB 3.0, even though I am using the one which was provided in the box as standard with the Quest. When I try to play Google Earth VR or other games, I would just get a black screen (audio would come through though). When I tried running Oculus, I would get the warning 'your pc doesn't meet minimum requirements.etc.'.

Windows 10 is installed through Bootcamp on my MacBook Pro (2017, Intel Core i7) So I have been trying to get my Quest working on my Mac and can't seem to make much progress.ġ.
