[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1303546, member: 46727"] The error message you received is a bit deceiving. It's telling you that your disk is fragmented and that there is not enough free [B]contiguous[/B] space to successfully create a partition. The way around that is to backup to Time Machine, erase the drive, reinstall OS X, and recover with Time Machine. Fragmentation gone. Of course to do that, you need your original install disk which you stated you don't have with you. You really need that disk to proceed. [/QUOTE]
