ASmallProblem

Hey folks, I recently tried installing Ubuntu on my MBP. After never really using it, I deleted it and removed all the partitions.

My problem is that there is still some 'empty space' (about 5 GB worth) that I cannot re-add to the main HD's partition. The space is not a partition of it's own, I can resize the partition box down to it in Disk Utility, but I get an error.

The error message is...

Partition Failed
Partition failed with the error:

Mediakit reports the partition (map) to small.


I have very little experience dealing with this, so I'm not sure what to do. While it's not a big issue (314 out of 319 GB), it's something I want to fix if possible.

Any help is appreciated.
