500sd Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 How can I expand the size of my leopard partition without losing any data on my leopard partition?

500sd Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 that method makes you lose all data though Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/131940-expand-leopards-partition-size/#findComment-936925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 that method makes you lose all data though Did you read it properly. It is specifically for growing a partition with data intact. The only limitation was that it should be MBR. Does not work on GUID formmated disks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/131940-expand-leopards-partition-size/#findComment-938202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
500sd Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Uh im using the darwin bootloader to automatically boot into leopard unless i press a key than it switches to mbr so i can boot into windows. am i eligible? EDIT: I followed the steps on that thread that zuna posted or whatever his name was and it didnt work. I erased the volume to be merged to mac osx extended (journaled) than did the command in terminal and rebooted. than i had to add a boot flag to my leopard partition to boot back up into it but it didnt enlarge the size of the partition at all Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/131940-expand-leopards-partition-size/#findComment-938939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
