S3nd41 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hi, I've installed leopard on a partition and I'd like to increase its size. I've read a bunch of guides with totally different methods and using a bunch of partitioning software but nothing as worked so far so I'd like to know if this is indeed possible at all. Thnx!

Thnx! iPartition is the best partitioning software I've ever seen on any operating system. You should check it out.

I think I have a better (and free) answer. Open a terminal and do the following: diskutil resizeVolume diskname ##G For example, for one of my HDD it would be: diskutil resizeVolume disk0s1 300G I don't think you have to run this as sudo but it couldn't hurt.

Beerkex'd Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 It's very limited what you can do with an MBR partitioned disk in OSX. If it's a GUID partition with HFS+J filesystem you can just open Disk Utility and resize, add, remove and merge partitions till you drop.
