Hi
I made an attempt at installing Windows 7 using bootcamp. During the stage when bootcamp is creating/resizing partitions something when wrong. The computer restarted but instead of booting into windows installer it booted OS X with the dialog window telling you that the computer restarted due to an error.
Now, the size for the windows partiton that should have been created was 34gb, this is exactly the amount of space that is missing when i check in the graphical user interface. But when i run "diskUtil list" or "df" or a 3rd party partitioning program the amount of available space is the same as before i tried to install windows. To make things worse, there is no extra partition created, not according to distil.app, "diskUtil List" or "df". Its like OS X has flagged and reserved some space for the windows partition but it never managed to create it and now it thinks that space is "lost".
Any idea what has happened an how to fix it? I have tried "first aid" utility and "/sbin/fsck -fy" i single user mode but no difference.
EDIT: To give some more information. The HDD is 120gb. The windows partition i tried to create was 34 gb, now diskutil.app and other parts of the graphical interface report the hdd size as 88gb while "df" and "diskUtil list" still reports the OS X partition as 120gb.
