Alimdoener Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 i've got a Beautiful running Hackintosh. It also Features 2 partitions of Windows 7. All is handled by thr bootmanager BootIt-NG. Due to buying a SSD-drive I need to make all partitions a tad smaller. resizing the NTFS partitions (Windows) was no problem but it won't let me resize the Mac OS partition. do you Know a Way to resize it without having to install it again.

In diskutility you can just select the entire drive (not the partition), click on "partition" and resizre it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alimdoener Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 I tried that, but couldn't get it to resize (see attached screenshot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can´t just resize it, try to choose another partition scheme with more or less partitions, just as needed. With unused space behind it should work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellmantt Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 do you Know a Way to resize it without having to install it again. Ipartition maybe but you need to boot from another disk (bootable backup?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Paixao Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 You also may try Gparted disk, however, be careful managing your partitions (dont make changes too large) or you may loose your data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alimdoener Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Ipartition maybe but you need to boot from another disk (bootable backup?) Good idea. I have an exact copy of that Mac OSX on another disk. I can put the disk I'm currently using in the ultrabay slim port and boot from the old disk instead. I'll try this. You also may try Gparted disk, however, be careful managing your partitions (dont make changes too large) or you may loose your data. I tried, but it just shows up as empty space. EDIT: I didi it. My mistake was that I booted a partition which hide all but two harddrives. In BootIt-NG I created a boot-option which shows all partitions. Then I started GParted and could resize the Mac OSX partition from 30GB to 20GB. Now I'm at it again trying to further reduce it to 15 GB. Hopefully that'll still work.
