[QUOTE="macalex, post: 939972, member: 130953"] Ok. When you start up bootcamp to install windows, you will be given 2 options. One to start windows installation and another to create bootcamp partition. When you select 'create bootcamp partition' you will be asked to make the two partitions whole again. Now if you have data inside the other partition, you have to save all of them in the OSX partition. Bootcamp will not delete your data as long as it is in the OSX partition. Once its made into one partition under the OSX partition, restart bootcamp to partition the drive. Funny thing is that you can't use disk utility to partition the drive and install windows via bootcamp. you have to partition using bootcamp itself. Hope that help. Anyway, I can't be sure if you are having the problem as I assumed. If you are unsure, please backup all your data on all partitions before proceeding as advised. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
