hi folks,

how do i delete / merge a partition in OS X Tiger.

i currently have 2 partitions on my drive but i want to delete the second one so i can use boot camp to install windows. i cant figure out how to do it in disk utility...

any help would be appreciated!

thanks,
steve.

don't think this is possible without reformatting the entire drive. ie all data will be lost.

iPartition from Coriolis Software should allow you to do this

www.coriolis-systems.com

Check with them to be sure however.

Note they are a small company in the UK and do take some time to answer mail

A google on Coriolis Systems should bring more info

They also make a defragger which is slow but a delight to watch it move blocks around
