Liek Mibles Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 So I installed OSx86 10.4.1 using only Windows and the DD program. The harddrive that I installed it on was an extra drive I had in my PC box. It's 111gb and was filed with mp3s, Flash, Dreamweaver, Photoshop files, movies, etc. When I installed OSX it said I had about 10-15 gigs left. Now that it's all installed I go to the Disk Utility and it shows two disks -- the drive I had as C: with Windows on it (74 gigs) and the drive i had as D: which was just for verious files and the one that I installed OSX on (111 gigs). The one on top which is the one OSX is on has another disk under it called tiger-x86. The tiger-x86 disk is only 6 gigs though. Is there anyway I can view and get the rest of the files that are taking up the other 105 gigs on the harddrive? Please tell me I can get those files back. Thanks!

birdy3003 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 with the method you did there is a different thing you have to do to get the "extra" space to be usable. scroll down near the bottom of this tutorial. Look for Step 4: Change the partition size: It tells how to do it. http://www.profit42.com/guides.php?id=3 Hope that helps Yeah, there are a ton of posts on this. this one looked easy... Very VERY easy way to get the rest of your hdd http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?sh...=2328&hl=expand Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7629-installed-osx86-on-a-111gb-drive-with-other-files-on-it-but-osx86-only-shows-it-as-a-6-gig-drive/#findComment-47780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
