I did this multiple times, each time begin told the partition was resized successfully, and each time ending up with a partition of the EXACT SAME SIZE as when it started.
#Mac os disk utility cannot resize windows#
Therefore it can't tell well enough whats on the Windows partition in order to be able to resize it without probably messing your windows files up. You see, I managed to adjust the side, click apply and have Disk Utility go though the process of resizing, only to finally re-mount the volume at the EXACT SAME SIZE it started at, and then report to me that it was "successful". This is a technical limitation in OS X's Disk Utility due to OS X not having very good or any NTFS filesystem support. The second partition cannot be resized either, but not for the same reasons the first partition cannot be resized. Now here is what I actually am looking for some help on. I managed to reformat this partition several times, but this ultimately led nowhere.
I give up on this quickly because thought it will let me format the first partition, in addition to not letting me resize it for unknown reason it also will not let me delete the partition so I can create a new one in the right size. I cannot drag the round handles shown on the pie graph, and manually typing any new number in the size box was useless because Apply was disabled.Īt this point in time I decided I would image the second drive and delete the first partition. So, moving on, I finally stopped trying to resize one of my partitions as in spite of it not telling me why, it simply will NOT allow me to resize the first partition on the disk. So I've already identified that Disk Utility cannot tell the difference between a partition that is unmounted and a partition that doesn't have journaling enabled - two things which are no where near the same thing. In that regard the REAL problem was that the partitions were not mounted, as when they were these warnings disappeared (only to come back if I tried to unmount one of the partitions again). I ended up learning that Disk Utility will MIS-report that the partition can't be resized because Journaling wasn't enabled. I first started to try and resize a partition which I just plain couldn't. Then, back in macOS, in Disk Utility, go back into the partition editor and remove the.

Now shut down the Mac and resize the disk in VMware. This will add a small extra partition, with an APFS container on it. I spent the last hour trying to resize a partition, only to have El Capitan's disk utility tell me it succeeded while actually doing NOTHING. The trick is to resize the single partition in Disk Utility first.
