1. Rescue Windows 7
2. Windows 7
3. Mac hfs+

I want to delete the 1 and 2 and get the whole disk for the Hfs+

Can you help me please?


The idea is put the hfs+ at the beginning of the disk

Thanks in advance.

gpt yes! but you need to guid partition for deliting other partition
and I am thinking your on MBR?

hello

no , if u have already instaled windows before mac os x

u hd is MBR the partition scheme, not GUID

what u have is a hd with partition scheme MBR and to do this must have it with GUID scheme

good hack

Nop , i coverted the mbr partition to guid with this method so all partitions are now guid.

GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.5

Partition table scan:
  MBR: protective
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.

But never resize HDD with this protective MBR

[waxfuzz]

well i deleted 1 2 and now moved hfs partition at beginning of the disk with Gparted system boots ok, and it has the free space at final of the disk.

Now i want to resize hfs+ up to 300 gb it has now 140 gb now, and left 20 gb for write there a dmg image of the system for restore the system in the future with time machine.

Disk structure now:


GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.5

Partition table scan:
  MBR: hybrid
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: present

Found valid GPT with hybrid MBR; using GPT.


localhost:bdb~$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
   #:    TYPE NAME SIZE    IDENTIFIER
   0:   GUID_partition_scheme *320.1 GB   disk0
   1:   Apple_HFS MLion    149.7 GB   disk0s5



1- Can i resize now without lost of data?
2- How can i to change identifier disk0s5 to disk0s1?>noob question i think hhehe

[C.Frio]

Hi...

I think the idea is not loose data..but   "bits aren't not only bits"....

I'm a

noob at this matter too...

Finally done and solved

Assuming you have MBR scheme

Steps I followed

1. install gdisk http://sourceforge.n...jects/gptfdisk/
2. Open Terminal and type: sudo gdisk /dev/disk0 (diskX , X= disk you want to change)
Then press:  gdisk will give you a warning , type r (recovery/transformation, then press f , and confirm with Y.
Then press m to exit to main menu and press w to write the guid partition, and press Y to confirm.

It will give you GPT with protective MBR.

3. Finally i booted my old lion retail disc, and repair disk , then i resized with no problem and i made the restore partition.

diskutil list:



/dev/disk0
   #:    TYPE NAME SIZE    IDENTIFIER
   0:   GUID_partition_scheme *320.1 GB   disk0
   1:   Apple_HFS MLion    300.0 GB   disk0s1
   2:   Apple_HFS System Restore   19.8 GB disk0s2
