Dear All,

I am new to Mac. I am using Mac Power Pc G5 having 10.4.11.
I want to make an application which will resize a volume(Increase and decrease size of volume).

I am using DiskUtil resizeVolume command for that but

1. It does not work correctly on power pc (its require reboot of system)
2. It does not increase the size of volume to its previous size if size is decreased previously and so on...

So can please any body show me the way how can I resize my volume (Both on Intel and Power Pc).

Any help would be appericated.

Thanks
Anjul

I'm sure that you understand what you're talking about...but nowhere in your posts Title or within your post do you say what you're doing...to help everyone else understand what's going on.

- Why are you changing the size of your volume?
- What volume are you changing...and OS X volume, or a Windows volume?
- Is this an internal hard drive or external?

Very confusing,

I remember my good friend trying to do a same thing, the problem is that you can't always resize your disk howver you want, because the data isn't a consistent chunk if space, it's scattered all over the drive ... especially if the drive is used a lot, with lots of copy/move actions

your best way to create a two-partition disk is to format it and create 2 clean partitions ... anyway that's what i would do

although, may I ask why you need 2 partitions on your drive? I don't want to be impolite or anything, but splitting a 70gig drive doesn't seem so convenient

Also, why would you DEcrease the size of your HD?
