Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forums (apologize me if this is the wrong category to ask)
I have a 27" iMac (late 2009).
Now, I have one Mac OS X Partition with Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and one Bootcamp partition with Windows 7.
Also, I have one DATA partition, which I shrinked from the Mac OS X partition in Windows. I would like to REshrink my DATA partition (like 5-20GB) and create a little partition where I could install another copy of Mac OS X Snow Leopard with my original Install DVD. I would like to use that partition for recovery and clean-up/management...
The problem is, My Mac OS X does NOT detect the DATA partition, it is only visible in Bootcamp...
Now could I just reshrink the DATA partition in BootCamp Windows and go to Mac OS X disk utility to format it as Mac OS X journaled? And do I need to perform any additional actions to make those three bootable partitions? (Mac OS X (main), BootCamp, Mac OS X (for recovery and management use).
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards to everyone,
Navigator98
