Since i have a partition on my disk that i can't do anything with without reformatting the entire disk. (i've tried disk utility (which only show the partion on the repartition tab), diskutil in terminal and a windows install) i wonder if it's possible to just copy the entire os x partition to an external drive, format the internal disk in target mode and put the os x files back in? I don't want to set up the settings and programs all over again.
Is there another solution?
A "diskutil list" shows this:
/dev/disk0
#: type name size identifier
0: GUID_partition_scheme *55.9 GB disk0
1: EFI 200.0 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 35.0 GB disk0s2
3: EFI 19.8 GB disk0s3
4: Microsoft Basic Data FAT32 894.6 MB disk0s4
It's the disk0s3 that is trouble. ideally i want that and disk0s4 to be merged and working together as a FAT drive i can install windows to
