[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1356243, member: 38864"] It may not be "locked" in size, but fragmented to the point that there are files spread all over the partition. A cheap but effective way to solve this is to use SuperDuper! to clone the drive to an external backup drive, wipe the internal partition, then clone it back over. [url]http://s3.amazonaws.com/com.shirtpocket/SuperDuper/Fragmentation.pdf[/url] There is defragging software available that will do a more thorough defrag and optimization if that floats your boat. IMO, iDefrag is the best, with TechTool Pro's defrag module being a good alternative. You can also look at iPartition, which will handle all the partitioning needs from within OS X. [/QUOTE]
