Hello everyone, thanks in advanced for your help with this. I searched and searched for how to fix this problem but nothing has worked so far.
I have a 500GB HD in my MBP, and I made a Bootcamp partition of 120GB and everything was fine. Well today I decided I didn't need that BC partition anymore so I went to Disk Utility and clicked "500.11 GB Hitachi", then under partition I selected "BOOTCAMP", and the clicked the little minus symbol. Now the problem I'm having is the 120 GB is still being taken up but the Bootcamp partition is nowhere to be seen. I can't boot into it when restarting or anything. I also realize now this was not the best way to remove a BC partition.
I resized the Mac HD partition as well to 499.25 GB, but when I click on Mac HD in DU it says "Capacity: 499.25GB, Available: 165.11GB, Used: 213.38GB" which makes no sense.
I also tried repairing the disk, and also the fsck by booting holding command and s, it says everything is fine.
Can someone please tell me how to, or point me in the right direction on how to, get all 500GB back for my Mac HD to use? Erasing and using Time Machine is sort of out of the question for now if there is any other way as I don't have a backup drive. Thanks again everyone for your help.
