tuxuser33 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) NO,NO! Macgirl did you ever tried to resize HFS+? Don't beleave that. Never ever? edit: you have a chance to SHRINK a HFS-partition Note: the missing "+" . That means journaling disabled. edit : shrinked a full prepared partition of 60 GB (the same backed up with TI) to 15 GB, minor repairs needed Again:done journaling deactivated prior! GPARTED 0.3.3 /Live-Rescue-CD 0.3.2 (Januar 2007) Increase partition size wan't work so far. Better less than nothing. That means (related to what user macgirl said) GPARTED can handle a subset of features of a resizing power-tool. Keep that in mind. You may risk loose all your data. Back it up before. (Yes, I recommend GPARTED-live-cd to prepare a HD prior to installation.) hell9 look for copy over your partiton to a bigger drive. Search the forum (look for tuxuser33, you will find my guide) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Many ways to solve this. The same problem. user sigmaris made this interisting thing. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=43234 Snip.... Ok, i solved this problem by making a patched JaS install DVD with the diskutility from 10.4.7 patch and drivers for my SATA controller, and using it to install a fresh 10.4.8 install to the new HD. This got me a bootable OS X partition on the new HD. Then I removed all the files on the new HD and copied my current install onto the new HD using Disk Utility (without erasing the destination). Now it works fine, my settings and files are all there and it boots correctly. I guess there may be quicker/easier ways to do this, though. Snip... comment: Appearently the OSX installation can be left. Wrote the bootloader , he left only if he erased all the new files. Missing bootloader can be fixed using fdisk from terminal in utilities dvd booted off Edited February 25, 2007 by tuxuser33 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43398-resizing-mac-partition/#findComment-310551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
