[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1199262, member: 46727"] I'm assuming you've been on their web site and read over what exactly iPartition is capable of doing? [URL="http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iPartition.php"]LINK[/URL] iPartition can resize partitions and move them about without losing data but it doesn't say that it can reformat a drive without data loss. The only utility that I know of which can change the format of a drive without data loss is Partition Magic but it doesn't work with EFI. In order to get rid of that EFI (200 MB) partition, you will have to erase the drive in DU and reformat it using the MBR partition scheme versus the GUID. But that only works with FAT-32. [/QUOTE]
