The maker of WinClone, an app which backs up Boot Camp partitions from within OS X, detailed the reason for this and how to overcome it. Apple acknowledges that Boot Camp Assistant won't work with drives of this capacity. However, there is an issue with installing on a 3TB drive, whether that's a Fusion Drive or a garden-variety hard drive. This doesn't mean Windows can't be installed on a Mac with a Fusion Drive, but Boot Camp Assistant will only create a partition on the hard drive. Since Fusion Drive depends on software technology built into OS X, Windows doesn't support it. Note "Logical Volume Group" ID (five mixed Numerical and Letter Groups)Įnter into Terminal: diskutil coreStorage createVolume(five mixed Numerical and Letter Groups) jhfs+ "Macintosh HD" 100% Now install the operating system, your Apps and your files back from your backup onto the newly created fusion drive and you will enjoy a speedy process.Įnter into Terminal: diskutil coreStorage create myLogicalVolGroup /dev/disk0 /dev/disk1 When you now hit "return" the system will setup the fused drive. Now enter diskutil coreStorage createVolume 50B457C3-ADC6-4EDC-9ABA-FD8C6EEDE69A jhfs+ "Macintosh HD" 100%whereas ( 50B457C3-ADC6-4EDC-9ABA-FD8C6EEDE69A) must be the number you wrote down from step H.
Take note of the identifier for the "discovered new Logical Volume Group" or the "Core Storage LVG UUID" both are the same ID. The following window shows after a short time: Now enter into the Terminal diskutil coreStorage create myLogicalVolGroup /dev/disk # /dev/disk #whereas # represents the number of the drive you want to select to be fusedfollowed by "return".
Take note of the first line ( /dev/disk #) whereas the # indicates the number of which disk is which. The next window should look similar to the following:į.
Select the Drives you want to fuse, to do that enter into Terminal diskutil list followed by "Enter" (also known as "return"). The Terminal should respond with the following:Į. At the insert point enter: diskutil coreStorage then hit "Enter" (also known as "return").ĭ. Open "Terminal" (inside the Utilities Folder or via the top menu if you are using the Restore Disk form one other Drive).Ĭ.
You also can (and I suggest to do so) reformat both drives first via "Disk Utility" to be sure to have a clean system.ī. Startup from an external hard drive since, when you start to set the Fusion system up, NOTHING can run on the drives you want to fuse. When you setup a Fusion Drive (conventional Hard Drive and SSD Fused together) both drives will be erased and can only be used (both) to each 100% for such setup.Ī. Prepare for all steps to follow and be sure to understand the procedures fully. Always first Backup all data on an external drive.
