nocturnal_50 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 re-allocate drive space using a Gparted live cd, simple shrink your HFS+ partition and expand your NTFS partition... and to boot to a live cd, insert the cd into the drive, reboot and hold down alt when booting, click on the cd icon that says windows and wait for the Gparted to boot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/227105-increase-partition-size/#findComment-1547438 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1hotdan Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 re-allocate drive space using a Gparted live cd, simple shrink your HFS+ partition and expand your NTFS partition... and to boot to a live cd, insert the cd into the drive, reboot and hold down alt when booting, click on the cd icon that says windows and wait for the Gparted to boot Just a side note to this: you will have to re-activate your NTFS Partition via Diskpart in CMD from a windows installation or recovery CD/DVD after you use Gparted. If you don't Windows wont show up in your boot menu after the move/grow...yes speaking from experience.
