[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1641227, member: 24160"] Well, I know how mine got like this - I have partitioned the drive myself and this is apparently a bug that was introduced in 10.8.3 while Apple was trying to deal with large drives and still not fixed. If you reboot your Mac in question to the Recovery partition, head to DU, the Partition tab, you'll find that the Partition drop down will be grayed out and will not permit you to make changes to the drive. The only fix I've found thus far involves wiping and starting over using DU from 10.7 or 10.6. Neither one of those installers will even boot to test it out on my '11 Mac. The indications in all I have found, it is not supposed to be a problem on smaller HDs or SSDs. Have to differ on that point since mine is a 250 GB SSD. [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
