Resize partition

By Austin Grace, 9 June, 2012

Hello to all. I'm sorry if this does not belong here but I had to re-install lion and I wanted to do it on a new partition. I was able to do that and delete the old partition lion was installed on from the factory. Now I'm left with a partition that says free space. It says something about dragging and dropping to resize but I have no idea how I would go about doing that. How would i resize the partition or is there another partition manager I can use? I was using the disc utility on lion. Thanks all for the help.

I've been having issues with that myself. Take care.

Hello. I tried that and I could not get it to work. I may have to buy lion from the app store and make a bootable dvd and reformat the whole drive which would be OK. I'm backed up anyway. Thanks for the help.
