[QUOTE="hotmonkeyac, post: 537321, member: 41216"] Yeah, I'm having a few problems. Here's what it shows when I try to partition: Local Disk: This volume will not be erased. Size: 215.8 GB Available space: 215.8 GB Leopard: This volume is the Startup volume, it can not be erased. Size: 250.0 GB Available space: 250.0 GB (eventhough it's almost full) The plus (+) and minus (-) options are both greyed out for both drives. I'm not sure if it matters or not, but the OS is on the 2nd partition (so basically "Local Disk" comes before "Leopard"). I tried to use disk utility to copy the contents of "Leopard" to "Local Disk" and boot off of it, but I just got a black flashing cursor. I guess it's not a huge deal, just kind of annoying that I can't merge the two partitions. Any other suggestions? [/QUOTE]
