Before I do this, I have a question: where'd my extra space go? I successfully used Disk Utility to resize my Macintosh HD down earlier, but that gave me no extra free space. Well, the size Disk Utility forces me to use went from 8.34GB to 8.79GB, but that's after I resized the main partition down by 14GB or so. Did that not do what I thought it would? I'm asking because I'd hate to do all this again just to have nothing work. Right now, my Macintosh HD reports 51GB total, with 10GB free, in Finder. That is despite my telling Disk Utility to resize it to 45GB, not 51. On Jul 26, 2014, at 4:01 PM, Sabahattin Gucukoglu <listse...@me.com> wrote:
