TvvqKMZ72bsklauw5 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I used Boot Camp to install Leopard on my iMac (through a series of steps to make the drive Mac Formatted). Now, when I try to use Boot Camp to restore the partition back to the way it was, I get an error saying this: "THE STARTUP DISK CANNOT BE PARTITIONED OR RESTORED TO A SINGLE PARTITION The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows." ...Anybody know a way around this so that I can restore my original partition without erasing the data on my hard drive?

TvvqKMZ72bsklauw5 Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 I'll rephrase what I'm asking, Is there a way I can merge my two partitions (one as my main partition and another without a partition) back into one without losing any data?

two55309 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I had the same problem awhile back. I used Carbon Copy Cloner and cloned my OSX partition and reinstalled everything. Then did a restore using Carbon. BTW, it backs up everything to an external hard drive and you boot from that hard drive and reimage.

OSXtasy Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 DiskWarrior will VERY likely fix your problem, and iDefrag *might* if you dont have DiskWarrior........
