How do i merge 2 partitions on Lion os x?
- Thread starter lisiac
- Start date
The Bootcamp utility you used to create the partition can also remove it.I have a macbook pro with lion, and another partition with w7 i don't want to have w7 'cause i have another pc with it.
I don't know how to merge the partition that had w7 with the one with lion.
Help me if you can, please.
Thanks
