"Unpartition" my Lacie Firewire harddrive

Dear all

I am going crazy here!
I have tried all that I could think of, but for some reason I can't get my Lacie 320GB harddrive unpartitioned.
I made a 2 disc partition recently, and now have 2x150GB, but i want to get rid of them and get all 320GB back on "one" disc.

Can anybody help me? I am running Mac OS X 10.4.11

Thanks

Chris

use the disk utility application located in the application -> utilities folder. Select the full disk and then click on the partition button. Once that is done, change the current option from the drop down menu to 1 partition. Note you will lose everything on both partitions, so be sure to back up everything first.

Hi rman

Thanks for your fast answer!
Unfortunately that doesnt work. The partition really does act like it is
2 different discs.

If I choose both discs, the "current" option in the dropdown is not highlighted.
I thought that I could choose just one of the discs, and erase the whole thing. But none seems to work. Any other ideas?

This is a complete stab in the dark here....

Try unchecking the option to "Install Mac OS 9 Disk Drivers". I'm not particularly familiar with that or OS 9, but being a relatively "antiquated" OS, perhaps it can't handle disks the full size of your drive, thus the way it shows as two?

BTW... also try looking at that drive using iPartition. Perhaps it will be better suited to sorting this out.
