belgrano Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 If I understood you correctly, you have a HDD with 2 partitions: one with win and one with osx. And you want that hdd to have only a hfs+ partition on it. Well, I don't know if there is any app which can resize a hfs+ partition. My advice is to back-up your data from osx partition and delete both partitions, then create only one partition and install osx on that.

Ted Shred Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 search for hirens boot cd.. im not sure where to find it.. i got a copy from a friend. it contains many utilities for partition management. and yes... I am pretty sure that at least one of the utilities can safely resize an hfs/hfs+ partition. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/hiren.thanki/bootcd.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18021-partitions-please-help-me/#findComment-117734 Share on other sites More sharing options...

belgrano Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 So basically you want to merge those 2 partitions and keep all the data that you have on both of them... Hmm, tricky business. I stick to my recomandation: back-up the data, delete both partition and format the whole HDD as hfs+. Anyway, see that link Ted Shred provided. Maybe you can find the right tool for what you want to do.
