[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1254753, member: 45350"] Suggest you re-read my suggestion. If you do a search on File Vault you will see the horrendous problems you can get into if you aren't (and sometimes even if you are) careful. The safest and easiest way is to drag the larger chunks of your data (in my case iPhoto Library was 30Gb by itself) to the new drive. After you have freed space you can safely undo File Vault. Tedious, but it works. [/QUOTE]
