Step 5: Delete the existing partitions

You must delete partitions on the disk one at a time. So for each partition, when prompted,

type

d to delete the existing partition, specify the partition number, and then type p to print

the partition map. When you’re done, you will have one partition, Apple_Free Extra. The

ﬁnal session looks like this:

Top level command (? for help): d

Partition number: 10

Top level command (? for help): p

/dev/rdisk2 map block size=512

Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=241254720

Step 6: Create a new partition

Create a new partition for the ﬁrst available block. In this example, you’ll split the hard disk in

half. The ﬁrst partition block is 1824 and the length in blocks is 120626448. You will name the

block and designate the type of partition (HFS). The session, with output, looks like this:

Top level command (? for help): C

First block: 1824

Length in blocks: 120626448

Name of partition: hfs1

Type of partition: Apple_HFS

Command (? for help): p

/dev/rdisk2 map block size=512

Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=241254720

#: type name length base (size)

1: Apple_Free Extra 241252896 @ 1824 (115.0G)

#: type name length base (size)

1: Apple_HFS hfs1 120626448@ 1824 (57.5G)

2: Apple_Free Extra 120626448 @ 120628272 (57.5G)
