RTA Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Alright, I finally found a Tiger torrent that was compatiable with my MBP, and I got it installed and all that, went off with only a single hitch: I had no DVDs avaliable, so I had to repartition my MBPs drive in two (One 68G, the other 5G). With my Powerbook I restored the Tiger-MBP install image to the 5G partition, then installed Tiger to the 68G. All went well, works great. Only problem is, now i'm stuck with an empty 5G partition that not only has no use, but prevents me from using Bootcamp because BC only works on drives with a single partition. My question is this- Is there any way to merge the two partitions back into a single one? Any help would be appreciated.

jgrimes80 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 bootcamp.... The newer version has a "merge" feature in it... if I'm not mistaken Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33544-merging-partitions/#findComment-237189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTA Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 Afraid not, I get the 'Your startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition' message when I try to open up the program, and then it quits out.

Embio Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 using GParted, insert 128MB of empty space between the partitions, then convert the 5GB partition to Fat32 and name it 'untitled' in OSX, then Boot Camp should allow you to merge the two. Works for me :-) let me know if it does it for you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33544-merging-partitions/#findComment-239568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
