Mac Boot Camp Mac Partition Gone

Hey guys,


just installed win 10 on my new 2015 macbook pro 2.5ghz model. Installation went smooth, but the boot camp assistant setup was hanging at the realtek driver for hours. There was a (temporary) partition on my win named something like 'OSxReserved' and this contained all boot camp drivers. I manually installed the realtek driver, re-did the boot camp setup and it worked. After restart, the partition was gone but the drivers aren't fully installed because my trackpad doesn't work, nor the brightness/volume buttons.

  1. Boot Camp is an assistant in Mac which allows users to install and use Windows or any other operating systems in a Mac. Boot Camp is a default Mac program inside Mac. Just like Windows or Linux users use Virtualbox to run more than one operating system inside their computer.
  2. Mar 12, 2020  Update AMD graphics drivers for Windows in Boot Camp Download and install the latest AMD graphics drivers for Windows on Mac models that use AMD graphics. If you use Boot Camp to run Windows on your Mac, you can visit the AMD website to download the latest version of.
  3. Install Windows on your Mac. Boot Camp is a utility that comes with your Mac and lets you switch between macOS and Windows. Download your copy of Windows 10, then let Boot Camp Assistant walk you through the installation steps.


I tried downloading the drivers from boot camp assistant in El Capitain again, but the option to download them dissapeared and it just shows me a option to restore the OS X partition to its full size and remove bootcamp.

Usually you would want to make a backup of OS X (macOS) before dual-booting Windows 10 just in case something messed up the hard drive you can go back to it. Regular Time Machine backup is good enough. Unless you want to take some risk, you can do it without a backup. Dec 21, 2019  First, open up Disk Utility in your original Mac with a Boot Camp partition. You will need enough space to backup all the files so double check you have enough disk space in the location you plan to save this backup. The size of your backup will be identical to the partition capacity (not used) –. To see the size of a specific file or folder, click it once and then press Command-I. To see storage information about your Mac, click the Apple menu in the top-left of your screen. Choose About This Mac and click the Storage tab. For Time Machine backups, it's good to use a drive that has at least twice the storage capacity of your Mac. In Windows on your Mac, click in the right side of the taskbar, click the Boot Camp icon, then choose Boot Camp Control Panel. If a User Account Control dialog appears, click Yes. Select the startup disk that has the default operating system you want to use. If you want to start up using the default operating system now, click Restart.
