Hi Chad, If it is disk utility in Lion that you are talking about, then here's what you can do. Indeed there is a disk resize control, but interacting with it won't let you adjust it. However, a bit over to the right is an edit text box, where you will find the current size of the partition, and even if it is the startup disk, macintosh hd in this case, you can adjust it, by simply typing a new number here. Of course, you cannot have a partition larger than your drive, but if you want a new partition, in place of free space on macintosh hd, then simply lower the number in this text box and hit apply. You will get a dialog, stating that none of your partitions will be erased. Rather, their sizes will only be adjusted. As a former windows user, I found this partitioning feature which is part of the operating system, rather innovative. HTH.
