I want to instal paralelis on my Mac, and i have one HD 320 GB partiotioned by Disk Util in 3 parts

 

1. 190 GB HFS+

2. 90 GB HFS+

3. 36 gb FAT DOS

 

i want to format the partition number 3 as HFS from within OSX.. i am running a Intel machine...Hackintosh :blink:

 

also i would love to integrate all teh partitions into just only one, or at least mix the bigeer ones, how can i do that?

Erase will do the format.

 

To join and format two partitions (this is speculation because I haven't done it):

  • In the left pane, click on the disk drive (not the partition).
  • On the right pane go to Partition.
  • Lock each of the partitions you don't want to touch by clicking on the partition and then clicking on the "locked for editing" button.
  • Then select the partitions you want to join and delete each of them, one at a time.
  • Select the new large free space and make it one large free space and partition it as MacOS Extended Journaled.
  • Then, in the far left pane, click on your new partition (not the drive) and the Erase button in the right pane.
  • Erase your new partition as MacOS Extended Journaled.
  • Now go unlock your previously locked partitions.
