[QUOTE="Stafke, post: 1014582, member: 146903"] I have a 13" MacBook (aluminum) and running Snow Leopard on it. I made a Bootcamp partition of 47GB and installed Linux Mint 8 on it Once installed the Mint ended up with about 25GB HD space?? The Linux Mint itself was working well, no probes there. Now i want to make the full 47GB Min I intended t but when I start up the Bootcamp to erase the partition it reads: See Att 1 I already tried to reboot from the Mint install disc but I don't really know in what matter it is safe to allocate memory to the new partition without erasing any of my main Mac HD. I tried repairing the 'odd' allocated part but it gave an error also see Att 2 and 3 So basically my problem is that I would like to remove the existing Bootcamp and put a new with more GB without messing up my main Mac HD. PS: I'm not really a whizz at these things so the solution is probably simple but I don't really like to take the risk of erasing my main HD because a lack of my knowledge. :-p Hoping it can be fixed, greetz :-) Steve[ATTACH=FULL]12386[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=FULL]12387[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=FULL]12388[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
