kjur Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 hi all my harddrive had below partitions: [ 1:hfs+ ][ 2:hfs+ ][ 3:fat32 ][ 4:linux native ][ 5:linux swap ] i wanted to resize some of them and do something like this: [ 1:hfs+ ][ 2:hfs+ ][ 3:fat32 ][ 4:linux native ][ 5:linux native ] when width of the [ ... ] field means size of a partition. using command line i could resize hfs+ partitions, but couldn't move the partition #2 down to have all free space as one piece. i switched journalling off for #1 and #2 and then i could resize them, but still could move #2 down. using my xubuntu system and gparted i resized #1, deleted #2 and create again with the size i wanted. also resized all the other partitions. the problem is i couldn't create hfs+ in gparted so i tried to create blank (non-formatted) or linux partitions and then re-format it under mac using one of these guides: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~pcarbo/macnexstar.html http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89960 but no luck. even if gparted or fdisk under linux says it's formatted as hfs+ i can't see it under mac. could anyone help me how to format it with no loosing other paritions on the harddrive? cheers, g.
