[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 537049, member: 38864"] I believe the surest way you can nondestructively merge the partitions with Disk Utility is by first copying all the files from "Local Disk" to "Leopard", then delete "Local Disk", and finally resize "Leopard". As for encrypting a drive... will File Vault work, or is that only for a user's home folder? You can always check VersionTracker.com and search there for encryption software. Surely someone makes one. [/QUOTE]
