if its HFS+ nope. if its HFS there are expensive proprietary products that may work (FWB toolkit). i have also been told that HFS (not plus) has no internal ideas about what size the filesystem is, it just trusts the partition table, thus if you use a defraggmenter/optimizer to move all the data to the physical beginning of the partition, you can simply change the size of the partition in the partition table. doing this of course is at your own risk and i don't guarentee it won't trash all the data on the drive and leave you a unusable, unbootable system. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
