Back in june I sold my custom built liquid cooled i7 3770k gaming pc. (Had a gtx 660ti over-clocked.) I bought the top of he line imac 27" with the gtx 680mx and the i7 37700 desktop cpu (yes, it has a desktop cpu) Well, it got gaming done way better than my pc, and I was amazed. That was until I resized my partiton, and I can't boot from damn bootcamp anymore :( . I tried using internet recovery, safe mode, recovery, and so many other things. New macs don't come with a install dvd so that is not an option. I can't delete the partiton, and I can not remove or add partitions anymore (shows up greyed out) In the bootcamp assistant I get an issue saying the startup disk must be partitoned as a single mac os x(journaled) partiton. Well, the install or remove windows 7 or later version is greyed out. The dumb-asses at apple could do NOTHING, even when they controlled my computer through their software. Damn it, should have kept my pc. I really need help, and I have no external hard drive I can clone to. Please help ASAP, I have a youtube cahnnel, and that is how I make some money, and my audience is dissapointed. :( (((

How did you resize it?

There is no official way to resize it, only 3rd party applications, which have mixed review. The only proper way to resize a partition is delete it (using the Bootcamp Tool, not disk utility), make another partition, and install windows again, which is quite painstaking.

Try using disk utility to delete the partition?
