waxfuzz Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Nop , i coverted the mbr partition to guid with this method so all partitions are now guid. http://www.chw.net/foro/hackintosh-f179/872640-guia-5-estrellas-como-convertir-de-mbr-a-gpt-guid-sin-perdida-de-datos.html 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.

waxfuzz Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Frio Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hi... I think the idea is not loose data..but "bits aren't not only bits".... coud you try those plays on an old HD... I'm a noob at this matter too... c.frio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waxfuzz Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
