Full Version: Partition Problems After Using Boot Camp

So I partitioned with Boot Camp and I wanted to install OpenSUSE instead of XP. 1) just to see if it would actually work and 2) cause I wanted to try OpenSUSE. So apparently OS makes 3 different partitions out of the partition I put it on. I tried to delete then after the install failed (dunno why it did), but they won't delete. Two of them I formatted to HFS+ Journaled, and the third one I can do anything with cause it's formatted to Microsoft Reserved and it won't let me format it. I shut down my system and rebooted it and was finally able to delete the HFS+ partitions. But I don't have a the space available. Before the Boot Camp I had 126GB available, then I partitioned 13GB so I had 113GB. Now I still have 113GB, as opposed to 122ish. Does anyone know how I can recover those GBs and how I can delete that Reserved partition?

Hey man, sorry for the wait, try getting an app called iPartition with its boot CD and boot off of that to delete the reserve. You can partition with the OS X DVD but it will wipe all. sad.gif

Thanks. I was about to send you a PM cause I thought no one read this part of the forum.

Just Leopard. I tried to put OpenSUSE 11 on there but it didn't install properly.
