[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1866677, member: 46727"] Welcome to our forums. It appears that you do have unpartitioned space labeled as other. Very likely when you quit Disk Utility, the partition table had not been written properly. Best thing for you to do now is make a backup of all your data on that drive (which appears to be a Seagate 500GB model), and erase it, format it as HFS+ Guid, and start over. Reinstall Mountain Lion. That's the only safe way you're going to be able to straighten out the mess that the drive is in. Hopefully the drive will survive and be useful to you. That drive is old and might even be defective although Disk Utility says otherwise. [/QUOTE]
