[QUOTE="Kevsta26, post: 1376841, member: 240580"] Hey, this is really bugging me :( So I was going to try another windows os on my MacBook Pro 15" Early 2011 after already having a successful bootcamp already installed, so I made a 100 GB partiton and was so excited, but I figured out that I couldn't boot from a usb, or have multiple boot camp partitons, so I deleted the partition I made and noticed I lost 100 GB of HDD Space because I couldn't resize the Macintosh HD partiton with the rest of the 100 GB I took from it earlier... so I kept trying and trying different things from verifying and repairing every disk and disk permissions I could, and rebooting many times, but no luck... so I ended up actually deleting my bootcamp (HORRIBLE IDEA) loosing everything, although I didn't have much, and I still was missing 300 GB of HDD Space because every time I go and resize the original to the full 750 GB's it completes with no errors or anything, but the disk size always stays the same at 450 GB... so I ended up reinstalling OS X Lion (ANOTHER HORRIBLE IDEA) and after about 2 1/2 hours of reinstalling and setting up, I went into disk utilities and still was missing 300 GB and I still cannot recover them... so I was wondering, how do I get it back :( I'm really upset that I cannot use this space anymore, nor can I put another partition in it's space, because when I do, it doesn't come out to being 300 GB space, instead it becomes around 800 MB of space and the rest is unusable!!!
