TTBOMK the only way you can increase the Windows partition is to repartition the drive back to a single partition
Then reinstall Mountain Lion
Restore all data from backup
Create new larger partition with Boot Camp
Install Windows
Restore data from backup

Free Space Partition on Mac HD - 3TB Fusion Drive Late 2013 iMac

I have managed to create a free space partition on my Mac HD that I now cant get rid of. This happened when I was trying to run bootcamp and during the Windows install I created a new partition that wiped the bootcamp partition and turned it into free space. Have attached a screen shot of my HD. I have already tried re-formatting the free space partition but nothing happens, just goes back to free space. Any help/ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Try highlighting the top space and there should be a arrow of sorts in the bottom right hand corner, like this.
Click and hold on it and drag it down to take up the free space.
If there is no 45º lines then you have separated that space from the Logical Storage Volume that makes up the Fusion drive and it can't be put back in without wiping out the Fusion drive and recreating it. At least no way that I know of.

50GB of Free Space Partition

Macintosh HD Split into 2 separate partitions:
Macintosh HD
Free Space
Can't join the two together nor can I change Free Space into anything else (Mac OS Extended, etc.)
I have a MacBook Pro - 500GB (OS X 10.9.3)

Tried that. I can't move them or do anything with the Free Space partition.

Restoring to a one partition drive after mistake of making a free space partition

Anyone know how to retore your os x to one partiton after making a mistake of making a free space partition in disk utlilty? I tried to revert back to original in disk utility and it won't let me. When I tried to partition inside the free space, It just did nothing, and when I tried to exit out of disk utility, it said their where unsaved partitions. And it won't SAVE! The free space that i'm trying to get back would really help as I am a little low on disk space. I'm on a late 2012 macbook pro retina display 13 inch running OS X Mavericks 10.9.2. Feedback would be excellent. Thx!
Bottom part that is bordered with blue is what I want to get rid of.

Willio_A,
if no diagonal lines appear in the lower-right corner of the “OS X Mavericks” partition when you’d clicked on it, then alternatively you could just quit out of Disk Utility and not save any changes that you’d made during your session. Or are there partition changes that you’d made in Disk Utility which you are trying to save?

HELP - Removing free space partition

Hi Everyone
I have a 50GB Free Space partition on my MacBook Pro and I wanted to delete it so that I could have those 50GB back to my Macintosh HD. But I can't delete it on Disk Utility because it says it contains CoreStorage physical volumes and it doesn't show up on the diskutil partitions list. What can I do?
(Please click the image for full res)

First hold command and r keys and boot into Lion Recovery Partition and use Disk Utility to Repair your drive first.
Then see if you can fix the partition and reclaim the space that way.
I think this is a glitch of some sort exclusively to Lion.
CoreStorage I is stored in the Lion Recovery Partition and one of it's features is full disk encryption, of the entire drive, why it's showing 50GB is beyond me.
I suspect something is wrong and your drive needs to be repaired from the Lion Recovery Partition, then perhaps it will show the true size and then you can click on the big MacIntosh HD box and use the corner draggie thing to grab as much as that 50GB remaining as possible.
Do you have Filevault enabled on the drive?

Unable to claim 100G Free Space Partition after Deleting Yosemite Beta

When I was running Mavericks I had a single large 500G volume (no partitions). The I installed Yosemite Beta on a 100G partition. After Yosemite was released it reinstalled over the Mavericks on Partition 1. When I tried to delete Yosemite Beta partition to reclaim the space to evert to original form - I have been stuck with a 100G Free Space partition that I can do nothing with - neither make it into a usable volume to store data nor be able to merge it into the original partition. I am hitting up against the space restrictions dn desperate now - I have see Loner T do an awesome job with his advice on this forum for similar issues. Very grateful for help. I also purchase iPartition but it was a waste as it says that it does not have write access to the disk.

"Free Space" Partition

I deleted my windows 7 partition and it left a partition called "Free Space" that i am unable to delete or resize. I have booted from cd, and i tried to delete the partition and resize my MAC partition. I was unable to make any changes to the "Free Space" partition. I have attempted most of the mainstream fixes for partition problems. I would like to go about fixing this problem without erasing any data. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

The free space entry is just that; space not used by any existing partition. If the Mac partition is above it in the list, drag the slider down as far as it will go. If the Mac partition is below it in the list, create a new Mac partition, clone the old one to it if it's large enough, boot from it, delete the old partition, and see above.

How to delete "Free Space" Partition?

I partitioned my MacBook Pro into 2 volumes so I could dual boot Mavericks and Yosemite Developer Preview. After testing Yosemite, I found out that it was stable enough to run on my main partition. I installed it on my main partition replacing Mavericks and deleted the second partition which included Yosemite. While deleting, somehow I was left with an empty partition called "Free Space" which I cannot delete.
I am pretty sure the problem isn't related to Yosemite being a developer preview as it could've happened under an previous stable OS. How can I merge my "Free Space" partition with Macintosh HD?

If you select the top partition, does ////// lines appear in the bottom right hand corner? If so try selecting them and dragging downward. Boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R) during a restart and try it there.

Free space partition - nothing helped

Hi, I had FAT partition on my drive, but since I tried to delete it I have only free space partition.
I read few tutorials but I can't remove it or reformat it. Can you help me please?

Are you unable to extend the Disk partition to take up the free space? If not, then you will need to repartition the entire drive from scratch:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

"Free Space" Partition disaster on new Mountain Lion iMac

"Help"
I just received a new 27 inch iMac as a replacement for my old machine, which apparently disntegrated during warranty. In setting it up, I tried to create a small partition on the hard drive to run a Linux distro for testing purposes. It seems that with the non-system disc versions of the OS this has become more complex, and what I recall as an easy process turned into a disaster where 2 of the 3 TBs on the machine are locked out as "free space". I humbly retreat from any thoughts of working with partitions on this machine - I just want to clean it up and get it to a one-partition state for music and graphic design production. I have a backup. Here is a snapshot of this nightmare:
I also note that at the top level, where I am used to seeing "Hitachi" (or whomever makes the hard drive) it says Macintosh HD. That can't be right?
Here is a diskutil list report:

Any thoughts? restarting to Command-R seems like it would not address the partition problem at all. I suppose I could put it in target mode and use my laptop to wipe it, but I'm not sure that would address the partitions either. I am completely comfortable with removing the built-in system recovery area if necessary, as I made a system mount on a USB stick.

How to remove "Free Space" partition on MacBook Pro

So I made a dual boot thing on my MBP, one contained Lion 10.7.4 and the other I'm currently using has Mountain Lion 10.8. (I was afraid to like harm my computer so I dual booted first and then erased the 10.7.4 partition.) Anyways ever since I erased the partition it was left with free space. How can I claim that memory back?

Open the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and click on the drive.
If there's a partition above that free space in the list, move the slider at the bottom of it as far down as it will go and click Apply.
If there isn't, create a partition in that space, clone the contents of the partition below it there, restart into the newly-created partition, and delete the old one.

Free Space Partitioning

I deleted a drive partition, but I can't get the free space to re-incorporate back into the Macintosh HD; how do I get the free space back on to the Macintosh HD? Thanks.
