- Well, the February MacWorld had a blurb on freeing up the Apple_free partition.
-
- Basically, back up the drive, reboot with the Disk Tools disk, click on
- partition, then click on custom. Select the name of your current Hard Drive
- volume, and select remove. This gives you a warning dialogue, click OK.
- (You did back up, right?)
- THe just drag through the grey area to create a new volume, which can include the "free" space.
-
- I got 7 Meg on a IIsi with a 160M hard drive this way, your mileage may very.
