Recover some hard drive space via pdisk
The original poster is incorrect, Apple disk utility is creating these "Apple Free" spaces for a reason. They are used for various purposes for the partition you just created. When you partition a disk under windows it will require you to save at least 8 MB per partition for that partitions use. It might be argued that 128MB per partition may be a little on the high side but since Apple sets this default value in Disk Utility I would feel safer leaving it alone.

Care to enlighten the discussion with what those "various purposes" might be? Or why you think getting rid of those spaces will be harmful?

Er, no.

The extra 8 MB are used if you convert the disk into a dynamic disk. This is exactly why you should leave Apple's extra space alone: for future use. |
