    (SOLVED)Expand Partition?

    Hello.
    I just installed snow leopard on my compaq 700, following guide from this site. All is working exelent
    Ok.
    i created 2 partitions one macintosh HD ( there is system ) and another FAT 32.
    So now i want to expand my system partition to use all HDD as 1 system partition.
    is it posible to do it in disk utilities? just to delete FAT 32 partition and expand resize first to whole HDD?
    Thanks

    I see that you marked this as 'solved'... For the benefit of everyone else, what did you do?

    yeah, did you do it by using only Disk Utility? I've never tried doing that, but I do know that the patched Boot Camp Assistant.app by modbin does the job pretty easily.
    Just make sure the other partition is formatted as FAT32 and then run the patched Boot Camp Assistant, choose Create or Remove windows parition and then it'll fuse them into 1 partition.
