Dizmal Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Firstly my master hard drive is 75g split 63g/12g with 20 something gigs free space on the 63gig partion(windows).. The 63g=FAT 32 wheras 12g=Mac OS X journeled is there a way i can increase the size of the mac osx partion by taking away free space from the fat 32(partion) without losing any files/data? I currently have disk director suite installed on windows, or will i need differnet software? Secondly Mac OS X doesent see my optical drive it is an DVD-/+RW of an acer aspire t310 desktop im unsure of the exact model Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/29692-partioning-and-optical-drive/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 No. You will have to back up your OSX files. Delete the OSX partition and create a new partition of whatever size you want. Then either restore your OSX installation or install again.
