Bootcamp fked up during partition and macos disk utility disk utility simply sucks.

Now i have unaccessible 44gb space on this system. Also TIL, online help related to issues on Mac is terrible. Lol even stackexchange has no replies.

Apparently it seems i have to reinstall whole OS to recover it..

Or is there any other way?..

    Why do you even buy from Apple?

    Restart into single user mode. (Command+S keys). At the prompt type: /sbin/fsck -fy

    When it’s done, you’ll see a message saying “** The volume [name] appears to be OK” if everything is fine.
    If it found problems, you’ll see a “***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****” message. This indicates the fsck command found and fixed problems. Apple recommends you run the fsck command again if it found and fixed problems.

    When finished with all this type: reboot

    See if it fixes shit, often better yhan disk first aid.

    @helloworld did that. It said "appears to be ok". Didn't say anything about modified.

    When i boot up, i still have that space unaccessible.

    @Gatgeagent i bought into "macs don't hang" and most of all wanted a change. It was all bullshit. People who say Mac don't hang must be thinking girls don't fart / poop.

    @HoloDreamer Macs are solid. I would back everything (exact copy) up to an external using something like superduper (http://shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/...). Re format hd then chuck it all back.
