Help, I needed

[JoeKav]

When I installed Lion from Snow Leopard yesterday I had to make a partition for it. Now I am running Lion and I cant expand my useable hard drive space. As you can see from my screenshot below all the options that usually lead to expanding or deleting are 'grayed out' and unusable. Perhaps it is in the wrong format? I can change that at least. Also, I cannot click and drag the top partition to make it smaller it is gray and unusable . I can edit my operating partition Macintosh HD 2, but only to make it smaller...not helpful.

I cannot click and drag the top free space partition, it is essentially 'grayed out'. I can only move the bottom Macintosh HD 2 to make it smaller...not helpful.

your link is not working.

It should state somewhere why it can not be changed. If the drive is encrypted then the size can not be changed.
