I kind of thought that relied on 10.5 Leopard to work which was when Disk Utility and OS X added the ability to do more partition changes on the fly (still not as flexible as NTFS though).In the off chance that you’re one of Amazon Drive’s few active users, now is a good time to start downloading any files you’ve stored in their cloud - come December 2023, the service is shutting down for good.Īmazon Drive is exactly what it sounds like: cloud storage for Amazon users. To remove Windows partition, Boot Camp Assistant rather than Disk Utility or iPartition it sounds like. So yes, I'd say your drives are over-due! and might even want to swap drive out for a newer model, one of those lean/mean sportscars or something that have come out lately. I'd run a chkdsk on your Windows partition just for fun, but essential before making any changes to size etc, and then redo your backup image, Casper 6 does a good job with that it seems which is rare in the "windows on mac" imaging and restore programs (Acronis for instance, heck I've got trouble with their newest TI Home 2011 even on PCs). And allows for updates and changes, restore points and abilility to rollback changes.

I've never owned or used DG because Disk Warrior has never failed me and I've owned but never even used TechTool Pro except to test once in awhile, but kept it updated because of the company itself and they use to provide a lively discussion on MacFixit forums in the past.įree space is nice and essential and minimizes the impact of fragmented free space even.

If they are being used by partition tables, you can't even test those.

Whether to resize partitions an OS update that "broke" Windows partition. I've seen problems arise when a drive was initialized back during prior OS and then in using current system. There can and are improvements to the partition tables and other things. "CT" is done from a CD ISO.įor me, I reformat a drive when a new version of OS comes out, and then a year or so down the road.

I know this is solved, but wanted to add that Paragon-Software has CampTune to resize partitions (they also have NTFS driver for Mac and a recovery utility). I might go for the smaller guy in England. i am not impressed too by the myriad of reviews from mac users from 2009 who have had horrendous problems when using drive genius de-fragment.

However most companies compensate for us oldies despite newer versions, and Disk warrior does just that. I don't suppose it is possible just to reduce my windows partition down from 30 gb to 10 gb? Except by using a piece of software from these guys - in the uk? I remeber actually, digging into my files from a few months ago I received an email from the Drive Genius people and they said that there is no more support for apple tiger, that I should look on ebay? well that is definately very unprofessional and just went to their website - yep - they do not care about tigers anymore. i never knew about this apple support news and was once told by an apple mac shop that I would have to destoy everything and start anew.
