We've covered this over and over in various LEM threads. Repartitioning a hard drive with live data on it is kindof like running your finger under the fan belt of your car while the engine is running. Sometimes you get that cool feeling as the rubber rushes by, and sometimes your finger gets pulled in a ripped off. Repartitioning is RISKY. VERY RISKY. DO NOT do it unless you have UP-TO-DATE BACKUPS. Oh wait. If you have up to date backups -- why not just do it right? Repartition the drive properly, laying down a *clean* partition map, with Disk Utility, then reload the volumes from your backup. Why go to the risk of having the data loss and a foo partition map (that NO repair tool can fix!)? - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
