The Commit process took something less than 15 minutes - perhaps much less, as I left the room during this stage, and it was done when I came back. I deleted four partitions, resized two others, and added a third. Once you've got everything set up the way you want it, just click Commit, read and heed the warning about data backup, and then watch it work. You can also easily make your disk unusable by modifying some of these settings, so I stayed well away from them. If you're a deeply technical type, you'll also love the Inspector window, where you can see and modify things like "Can Chain," "PIC Boot Code," "First Boot Block," and "Flags." I have no idea what any of those are, but they can be changed by those who do know. At any time, you can cancel and revert to the disk as it currently exists. The Operations button in the toolbar opens a window that lists every change that you've requested, and it's updated in real time as you make further changes. All of these changes are non-destructive - when you make them, you're just putting together a plan for iPartition to work with.

Add one with the plus button in the toolbar. Delete a partition by selecting it and hitting delete. The new size of the partition is always visible and constantly updated. To resize the partition, just grab the small white dot at the end of the extended line, and drag. You select a partition to work with by clicking on it it then slides out from the pie, and gains the markings shown in the image. The iPartition interface is elegantly simple yet very powerful, as seen in the image at left (click the image for the big version).

IPartition makes it brain-dead simple to move, delete, add, and resize partitions - without reformatting first! I've used PartitionMagic, and while it's quite good by PC standards, iPartition takes ease of use one big step further. none of which was usable by the system drive, since it was all on the other partitions.

#IPARTITION SHOW NOTHING FREE#

I moved all of my non-system and non-user partitions to the new internal drive, leaving a bunch of free space. After some looking around, I decided to replace the second drive with a 300GB Maxtor SATA unit.

Anyway, for a while now, my system/user partition had been filling up (less than 5GB free), and my smaller second drive was already bursting at the seams. Yea, I know it's not required and I don't get any speed gain, but it's just the way I prefer to organize things. On my machine, I have a boot/system partition that holds the OS and my user files, and then a bunch of other specialty partitions for things like audio, video, and graphics. and I copied a bunch of stuff to my PowerBook.

Make sure you have a backup before trying any program that offers partition resizing! In my case, I had my FireWire backup of the whole system, plus a burned DVD of my critical personal files. You can lose data if things go wrong, even if the program works perfectly - a power outage while writing changes to the disk would be disastrous. Nor does iPartition’s ease-of-use come at the expense of power users iPartition’s Partition Map window, coupled with the Inspector, provides total flexibility, even allowing users to edit flags in the partition table, edit the partition type directly, or move or resize partitions accurately anywhere on the disk.WARNING: Resizing partitions on the fly can be very dangerous. This feature, coupled with iPartition’s ability to automatically rearrange your existing partitions when asked to expand a partition, makes iPartition the easiest disk partitioning tool that you’ll ever use. Not only that, but if you have several operations to perform, iPartition lets you queue them up and run them one after another, so you can have a cup of coffee whilst iPartition works. With iPartition, resizing a partition is as simple as selecting it, grabbing the resize handle and dragging. With its intuitive yet powerful user interface, iPartition makes it easy to create, destroy, resize or format partitions on your hard disks, whether internal, external, fixed or removable.
