I would like to reformat my previously partitioned startup drive into a single
partition. (G4 dual 533 running OS 10.4.11) I have carbon-cloned the startup drive contents to an external fire-wire drive which I hope to re-transfer back after reformatting my original drive into a single partition. I have designated the fire-wire drive to be the new startup disc. In trying to restart
my computer it seems to have trouble finding the new startup drive. Is this because it is an external drive and it is looking for an internal one? Anyways
after much rebooting It has finally found the new startup drive. NOW...
using Disk Utilities I tried re-partitioning into a single drive but cannot.
The message I get is "This disk contains the startup volume and can't be partitioned". So the question is how do I accomplish this task. Do I need a
third party application? A second computer to assist? I have an i-book I can
use if it will help. Thankyou!
