So I have a MAC BOOK PRO, running Lion.

Here is the situation; I attempted to split the single main partition by creating a newer smaller one which was initially planned to support 20GB.

I accidentally split the main partition in half; and ignorantly tried to prevent the completion of said task by interrupting the process.

It is only after I had forcefully closed the Disk Utility app, that I had realized that my partition displayed itself as officially full. I am now unable to split partitions.

The dark shaded space isn't what Disk Utility sees as full. It's how small you can make the partition. Have you tried verifying the disk?

I did as you instructed, and here is the result.

Should I proceed as it commands? Will I loose data?
 
Thanks for the support, I just fixed the issue by booting into Disk Utility and performing a Repair Disk.

Thanks again.
