The latest: I resized the Macintosh HD partition, as I said before. That went fine, yet the partition I'm trying to create is *still* stuck at 8.79GB. I type in the new size (14GB), and it immediately gets replaced by 8.79, just like before. This makes no sense at all. Would the command line tool do the job? I'd hate to mess up a command and have to wipe the entire computer. On Jul 26, 2014, at 3:03 PM, Sabahattin Gucukoglu <[email protected]> wrote:
