jouissance Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 How do I resize a partition using Disk Utility? When I look at screenshots of it online, it has a fifth tab, "Partition," but mine only has four tabs, "Repair," "Erase," "First Aid," and "RAID."

jfn Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I think it shows up when you click on the icon for the disk itself, not on the icon for a partition/volume within the disk.

FullMetal Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I've never had this problem before. Disk Utility is setup similar to this: Disk Utility This is your HDD: 31.5 GB SAMSUNG SV4002H This is your Partition: OSx86 Click on the HDD and the Partitioning tab should popup on the side. When I had 10.4.1 this problem never arose.

JimBob Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Yes, you do need to click on the disk rather than the partition for the "partition" tab to show up. But, you can't use this utility to resize you partition. You need something like iPartition, which hasn't worked for me because it says it doesn't recognize the partition table format, which was done from Windows. Search the forums for making a bigger partition. There are a bunch of threads on it.
