[QUOTE="ray5450, post: 1896001, member: 409464"] MacInWin: -0/O--okay. In the example line, there was no slash, so it looked like the letter. I tried again with zero, but received a couldn't unmount disk error. -According to the article, 0b does not create a zero byte partition, but instead creates a partition using all the remaining available free space, that is what I wanted, after creating a 6g partition for the installer. -The icon in MacUtilities looks like High Sierra. -By "graphic options", I mean what I believe Slydude is referring to, but the Add option is greyed out. -Using terminal is no risk here as there is nothing on it anyway. I can partition and format MS disks all day long, but I don't know how to do it with this. Slydude is correct. I am trying to create a partition to install OS. I already ran the installer and it is looking for a partition to install it on. It only shows the recovery partition to choose from but it is greyed out, of course, because it shouldn't be installed there. There are no other partitions because the rest is allocated as free space. [/QUOTE]
