Michael, Although I'm not sure how you do it with a Mac, I think the problem is that you are looking at the free space as a partition, and in fact, I believe that is just unpartitioned space on the drive. You should be able to get rid of the free space by expanding the size of an adjoining partition. HTH.

hey all, i’m having a very big problem and am at my wits end. i tried to make a partition but the system malfunction and now i’m stuck with a 1.2 TV partition calling itself free space. Know matter what I try I cannot delete the partition. every option is Grade out. i wiped the Macintosh HD volume to no avail, it’s still there and what is worse is that now I can't even revert to a time machine back up since the system is telling me that my drive does not have enough space. My time machine backup is only around 200 GB. This morning I went from a nice 3 TB hard drive to this mess. I am tearing my hair out in frustration and am sending an SOS. thanks for any help Michael <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
