[QUOTE="MACoroni, post: 1247009, member: 198984"] Thanks, I'll give that a shot in the future, is it free software? What does it do that disk utility doesn't? On this occasion, in the end I just erased the whole things and went for 2 partitions of MacOS Journaled and Fat32. I wanted to do this as a favour for somebody, while I could have backed up the contents to the machine I was reading the drive from before performing the operation it would have taken time because of how much data was there and he said he was willing to part with that data anyway. But it is in an interesting limitation of the disk utility application. Is this happening because it was ntfs or is it something else? Whilst trying to find solutions on google to this specific problem they all gave instructions for lowering the size of the existing partition by dragging it in the diagram. But for me, this was locked and immovable. I'll look in to iPartition when I get the chance some time though. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
