tman26 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Ok here's the deal. I got Mac up and working. Basically got everything working except my wireless which is the Intel 3495. Anyway, i dont want to reinstall mac and after doing all this work getting it working, i want to partition my hdd for a storage partition. how can i achieve partitioning this drive while im using it? I need something like Partition Magic but for mac. I got this program called Drive Genius which claims it does what i need but when i go to repartition the drive i get this message. "The FDisk_partition_scheme is not currently supported" Here's another question, Can i use partition magic before the PC boots and parition it like that? i know you can do it with windows. If anyone knows, pass the knowledge Thanks. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48996-how-to-partition-mac-drive/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all will warn you to back up your data. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48996-how-to-partition-mac-drive/#findComment-350825 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret-Simpson Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 No, Gparted doesn't support resizing Mac partitions. I'm afraid your only solution is to reinstall. Sods law.

beeboo Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Ubuntu 6,10 live cd distro has a kind of gpart compatible with HFS+ (with resizing!) @Ferret-Simpson: i've the same tablet-pc, but when i installed jas10.4.8 semthex, i got big problems with keyboard and video card (no support for CI/QE/Q2d). I didn't try wlan/bluetoot. Could you please suggest me some good links? bye Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48996-how-to-partition-mac-drive/#findComment-351032 Share on other sites More sharing options...
