[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1339138, member: 46727"] You can't really run Disk Utility while the disk is mounted and do any realistic testing of the hard drive. That's why you need to boot from a Tiger or Snow Leopard disk and test that way. And no, booting with Tiger and resetting the drive to a single partition will not erase the data if you do it right. Of course make a backup of your hard drive first just in case. [/QUOTE]
