Hey there,

I am having an issue Partitioning my Internal HDD because some files cannot be moved:confused: it was able to Partition a while back when Installed Vista but I deleted that Partition as I needed a bigger one for Windows 7 Beta :)

It says I need to "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume." does that mean I have to reformat my entire HDD? as I don't want to do that.

Is there another way to Partition my HDD?

I believe you will have to defrag the drive with something like iDefrag

But either way, I would recommend a backup before you do it
