[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1319919, member: 24160"] You can't partition it while you're booted into the OS. You need to restart the computer and boot to your OS disc - or if running Lion - to the HD Recovery partition. If you're just wanting to increase the partition to fill the whole disk, then drag the bottom right corner of the Macinstosh HD partition all the way down to the bottom and click Apply. This should leave your data intact. But, [B]always[/B] make sure you have a backup before playing with your partitions. If you go to partition the entire drive - that will delete everything on the drive. [/QUOTE]
