[QUOTE="rrxer, post: 352972, member: 28566"] Hey guys and girls, I need SERIOUS help. I have been trying for days to do what I need done (which I will explain), so I need really really simple step by step answers, excluding technical language. I brought a PowerBook G4. The previous user partitioned the HD into 2 parts - OSX and OSX 1. OSX = 30 gb and OSX 1 = 30 gb. All the system files and OSX 10.4 is on OSX 1. With App's I have added over the years, MY START UP DISK IS FULL. This is where my problem starts. ***I want to delete these two partitions, so the start up drive has the full 60gb capacity of my HD*** I cannot repartition the HD because its the boot up disk. How the **** do I delete those two partitions. I dont care if I loose everything. I have backed most of the files and app's I have on an external HD. So: I have a PowerBook G4. I understand and have browsed Disk Utility before. I know that I cannot deleted or partition (reset to 1 partition) the main HD because it contains the boot system files. I have an external HD. I have the Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger DVD. I appreciate your help, but please make easy to understand... im stupid. Thanks rrxer (andpal88@bigpond.net.au) [/QUOTE]
