I got the this Error while trying to partition my hard drive after deleting my boot camp partition and then trying to make my Macintosh HD the full 250gb...

Partition failed with the error:

Could not modify partition map because filesystem verification failed

After I got this error I went to the "first aid" tab in disk utility and tried to "repair disk permissions" then try it and got the same error...

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!
 
I think BootCamp Utility has a feature which will repartition the drive back to where it used to be, so check that

Ok thanks for the help, but where do I find BootCamp Utility? I searched on spotlight and could not find it...
 
ok well I found it and thats how to create a windows partition which is not what I am trying to do...
I was deleting my windows partition and after I deleted it I tried to expand my Macintosh HD to the full 250gb and it gave me the error...

As you can see, that's not the method Apple recommends. Try following Apple's procedure in the link I posted.

Well....I would but I cant because the windows partition is already deleted and when I enter boot camp assistant it is trying to make a new windows partition...
 
So is there no way for me to fix it since I did it a different way? Or should i just try to take it to the Apple Store and talk to an Apple Genius?
