Have a good day and night.

 

Need your advice, don't know what should i do..

Delete linux partition from ubuntu live cd, and now can't get access to free space in Disk Utility in Leopard. It just show me 200 mb of free space and i can't create or delete partitions. Try boot from dvd with same result.

 

Thank you for advice!

I have external disk, but not so space for making backup copy.

So that leaves us only with one non-destructive option (that I know of).

 

Download and burn to CD this Linux distro:

Boot from it. See how the situation is. Try to create, in the free space, a partition that OS X can read: HFS+, FAT32 or NTFS.

Then boot back into Leopard and tell us what Disk Utility now can see.
