osx - Boot Camp, howto manually change the configuration -


so visiting in-laws week, , mother in law has imac osx 10.5. had small windows 7 partition dual booting boot camp. turns out, uses windows partition, , partition way small. asked me make bigger.

so, used gparted , made partition right sizes; however, mac boot manager not recognize windows partition now. expected happen, did not expect boot camp useless afterwards. "untitled" windows partition in osx looks ok. boot camp ui lets gives me option restore single partition.

my question is: can manually change boot entries without ui ala grub? or, how else can fix boot loader?

i never found config file ala gurb fix issue, did fix it.

there a few things @ play here. looks closed of tabs reading off of, take stab @ writing found.

  • the osx boot loader @ (from memory) hybrid of mbr , gpt. if not synced, not show option.
  • gparted not sync them automatically
  • use "gptsync" sync mbr of disk gpt of partitions

this allow osx bootloader show windows partition boot option.

next, when boot windows again, need repaired. after repair, good.
