Re-Partition failure
Hello All,
Hoping some old Mac-hands can give me some advice...
When I first set everything up upon purchasing my Mac, I created a separate 10GB partition. Cannot remember my reasons anymore. But used it mainly to play around with Hazel rules etc., and some other experiments.
Today, in an effort to clean things up again - I deleted everything off it, and the erased it through Disk Utility.
After a reboot - I opened Disk Utility again, selected the partition tab, and then drag-selected the primary partition, to take up the recently cleared space.
After it runs the "Checking Extents Overflow file" - I get the following error:
Suffice it to say - I haven't been able to resize my sole-remaining partition. Any suggestions?

) - did some googling - and most suggesting rebooting into Recovery mode, and doing a clean-install. One or two suggested a T-M restore will be ok.
