Merge 2 partions without loosing data...


Recommended Posts

Is there any way to merge 2 partions without losing the data in it?

I have the Primaty partition that's becoming too small, and a spare partion i would like to join.... but i wouldn't like to re-install the OS. :blush:

What is "Carbon clone" into a bigger one?!?

I too have an iPod, 30 Gb luckly, but i was trying not to re-install the whole system.... :(

It's a program that can copy a HD to another HD, so you don't have to reinstall OS X.

I've never used it myself, but I'm sure somone on here has.

Thanks, i've took a look at that... but unfortunatly I don't think it will be any good for me! :(

The thing is, I have 3 partion:

1) 20 Gb where the OS is installed

2) 50 Gb where is the User directory (I have 3 users.... )

3) 10 Gb Scratch partion...

I'd like to merge partion 1 and 3, to have a 30 Gb system one, 'cos after some months, i only have 6 Gb left on my System partion....

I think I'll have to reinstall the whole system.....

in fact i can't even merge partition 1 and 3, without loosing data on partition 2, or so it happened to me last time i tried... :(

no use running a scratch partition on the same HD, if it were another faster drive then it would make sense
