Hi, My experience is limited on this, but I’ll try to help.
I went through the motions on a 2TB disk to change options from a one to a three partition setup, and got no such warning when selecting “3 partitions” from the [Partition Layout] pull- down menu. Disk Utility did allow selection of 3 partitions for setting up a disk and naming each as ‘untitled _’, however, since the disk contains lots of stored personal data, I could not follow through with an actual re-partitioning of the disk. At present, I don’t have an empty disk to attempt re-partitioning on this disk, but have successfully done it in the past. —— Question: In the past, did you wipe/destroy the encryption partition as well as the encryped rest-of-disk? This is a [separate] area that holds the encrypting pass phrase for the rest of the disk to be encrypted or decrypted with. Also: Describe what was done just before the “…into two.” message the app gave when you were using [ Disk Utility > Partition ] onto the ‘root’ of the disk. -russ > On Dec 31, 2014, at 1:55 AM, Nelsn Helm <[email protected]> wrote: > > Partitioning a hard disk drive with Disk Utility, > > The hard drive was once encrypted, but is no longer. > > It has been erased several times in my efforts to partition into three volumes > > I read > You may only split this partition into two.
