Yes I skipped it, because I had no choice to choose the whole size. There was only partition 0 and 8. Even if select 0, delete the slice and newly errect it, it has the same size. Also the number of disk sectors did not change and slice 8 has still it's starting cylinder at the "old" end of the disk (See below) format> label [0] SMI Label [1] EFI Label Specify Label type[1]: Ready to label disk, continue? yes partition> p Current partition table (original): Total disk sectors available: 146784222 + 16384 (reserved sectors) Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector 0 usr wm 256 69.99GB 146784222 1 unassigned wm 0 0 0 2 unassigned wm 0 0 0 3 unassigned wm 0 0 0 4 unassigned wm 0 0 0 5 unassigned wm 0 0 0 6 unassigned wm 0 0 0 7 unassigned wm 0 0 0 8 reserved wm 146784223 8.00MB 146800606 > I would make sure that > slice 0 encompasses the > full 70G.
