To create more room on my hard drive for my windows partition on my hard drive, I found an article explaining how to do it. It said to use a program called winclone to copy windows, then to use BootCamp to delete the old partition and to create a new one. Then, you use winclone to put the copy of windows into the windows partition. Simple, right? WRONG!

I was able to make a copy of my windows partition just fine, and I was also able to delete the old partition without any trouble. However, when I try to re-partition my hard drive, this message comes up:

So, I go into disk utility, and poke my head around a little. As it turns out, when BootCamp Assistant removed my partition, they didn't increase the size of my Macintosh HD drive. So now, I just have a big space of nothing floating around on my hard drive:

So here's my question: How do I format my disk as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume?

If this means erasing everything on the disk, then how would I go about restoring my system with my time machine backups?

Thanks.
