My hard drive currently has 2 partitions, one for time machine and the other for everything else. I would like to repartition so that I can have 3 partitions but without erasing everything. Is this possible?
Got a tip for us?

Yes, just use Disk Utility which is in your Applications>Utilities folder. Just be aware that doing this will delete everything from your ext HD.

Not necessarily. If you have enough free disk space and the drive is not too fragmented, it should be able to repartition without deleting files.
