waxfuzz Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Nop , i coverted the mbr partition to guid with this method so all partitions are now guid. http://www.chw.net/foro/hackintosh-f179/872640-guia-5-estrellas-como-convertir-de-mbr-a-gpt-guid-sin-perdida-de-datos.html GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.5 Partition table scan: MBR: protective BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.

waxfuzz Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 well i deleted 1 2 and now moved hfs partition at beginning of the disk with Gparted system boots ok, and it has the free space at final of the disk. Now i want to resize hfs+ up to 300 gb it has now 140 gb now, and left 20 gb for write there a dmg image of the system for restore the system in the future with time machine. Disk structure now: GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.5 Partition table scan: MBR: hybrid BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid GPT with hybrid MBR; using GPT. localhost:bdb~$ diskutil list /dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *320.1 GB disk0 1: Apple_HFS MLion 149.7 GB disk0s5 1- Can i resize now without lost of data? 2- How can i to change identifier disk0s5 to disk0s1?>noob question i think hhehe Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283403-solved-how-can-i-resize-hfs-partition/#findComment-1858696 Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Frio Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hi... I think the idea is not loose data..but "bits aren't not only bits".... coud you try those plays on an old HD... I'm a noob at this matter too... c.frio Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283403-solved-how-can-i-resize-hfs-partition/#findComment-1858731 Share on other sites More sharing options...
waxfuzz Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 Finally done and solved Assuming you have MBR scheme Steps I followed 1. install gdisk http://sourceforge.n...jects/gptfdisk/ 2. Open Terminal and type: sudo gdisk /dev/disk0 (diskX , X= disk you want to change) Then press: gdisk will give you a warning , type r (recovery/transformation, then press f , and confirm with Y. Then press m to exit to main menu and press w to write the guid partition, and press Y to confirm. It will give you GPT with protective MBR. 3. Finally i booted my old lion retail disc, and repair disk , then i resized with no problem and i made the restore partition. diskutil list: /dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *320.1 GB disk0 1: Apple_HFS MLion 300.0 GB disk0s1 2: Apple_HFS System Restore 19.8 GB disk0s2 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283403-solved-how-can-i-resize-hfs-partition/#findComment-1858880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
