The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by anuneznyc in Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard), Snow Leopard (OS 10.6), Disk Partition Tools
I have a 500 Gb Western Digital external drive that I use to back up my MacBook. Originally I partitioned it in 4 parts and used the 1st partition (which was only 80G) to back up my MacBook using Time Machine.
Now I have decided that I would like to have just 2 partition of 250 Gb each rather than 4 partitions. So I used Disk Utility to erase partitions 2, 3 & 4. Now I am left w/ just one partition, but it is still in its original size (80 gigs). I see no way in Disk Utility to increase to size to 250 nor any way to add a 2nd partition WITHOUT having to destroy all partitions and start over.
I need to retain the data on that 1st partition, so destructive repartitioning is not an option for me.
How can I do this??
