Hello all,
I have an oldish MacBook Pro (I think it was the first gen of the Intel MBP) running 10.4.11. While it was in Beta, I gave bootcamp and try linux a try. Didn't like it, uninstalled linux. I now somehow have a 68 GB partition for my system, and 25 GB of "free space." It hasn't been an issue up till now, as I am getting low on space! Is there a way for me to expand my partition and use up the "Free Space" "partition" without losing my data and without buying a partition manager?
For more info:
SS of the Disk Utility

diskutil list info:
<i>/dev/disk0
#:.................type name............size..........identifier
0: GUID_partition_scheme.....*93.2 GB.........disk0
1: EFI....................................200.0 MB.......disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD.......68.0 GB........disk0s3
</i>

And I realize this is probably a mess, that's why I'm trying to fix it ; )
 
I'm not sure that Tiger's version of Disk Utility can safely merge your HFS+ partition with your remaining free space.

As far as I know, you need Leopard in order to adjust your partitions without reformatting. Correct me if I'm wrong.
