Hello, I have two partitions on my iMac built-in hard disk. Each partition is a different level of MAC OS. I have Time Machine and SuperDuper! backups of each of these partitions on an external disk drive.
I need to change the partition boundary on my iMac hard disk so that one partition gets more disk space at the expense of the other partition. At present one partition has over 100 GB of free space while the other partition has only 15 GB of free space. SO I opened the disk utility, selected my iMac disk drive and selected the partition tab. In the scroll area I could see my two partitions but disk utility would not let me change either of them. So I thought that might be reasonable as I had booted off one of the above partitions which might thus be "locked". So I then booted one of m my SuperDuper! backups on my external disk drive and again tried the disk utility. Again his refused to let me change either of the partitions on my iMac internal disk drive even though I had booted from an external disk drive. SO how can I change the way my iMac internal disk drive is partitioned? If there is no other way I suppose I could erase both partitions; create two new partitions of the desired size and then use my SuperDuper! backups to populate these two partitions. However that seems a high risk procedure not to be lightly undertaken. And here is a SuperDuper! question. Can I use SuperDuper! to restore a SuperDuper! backup to a partition whose size is different than the partition size when I did the SuperDuper! backup? Many thanks for any help.
