How to Solve Errors while Mac Drive Partitioning?

Do we need to manage our Mac partitions? Yes, with respect to the requirement, almost every Mac user needs to manage his/her Mac partitions from time to time. Sometimes, you need to create new volumes in the hard drive, whereas some other time, unwanted Mac volumes need to be deleted. Apart from creation and deletion of volumes, there are some other similar requirements, such as formatting of partitions, increase or decrease partition size etc. For all these purposes, Mac has provided a built-in utility, 'Disk Utility’. But, many non-technical novice Mac users don't find 'Disk Utility' easy to use and want more interactive third party Mac partition manager utilities.

When you buy a new hard drive for your Mac, it usually comes as a raw drive in which you have to make different partitions to store different categories of data separately. Drive partition formatting is one of the common operations which removes unwanted data from a partition.

You can delete such unwanted partitions so that the created space can be utilized somewhere else. Apart from this, there are times, when the Mac partitions become corrupted to such an extent that every operation to format the volumes also fail. In such cases, you do not have any other option left, except deleting the partitions.

At times, while trying to store all the data of a similar category in one particular volume, the volume runs short of space and you need to increase its size. To create extra space, we find unwanted space in volume to trim up to an optimum level.

For all such partition related tasks, including creation, deletion, formatting and resizing of Mac partitions, Apple has suggested 'Disk Utility'. Backing up data before initiating these tasks is necessary. In case of drive failure, it will be so easy to regain the lost data from the backup copy created earlier before initiating the Mac drive partitioning process. You can create data backup from any Mac drive cloning tool.

In current software market, there are many such partition manager utilities available to manage Mac partitions effectively. Stellar Partition Manager is one such reliable Mac utility with the useful options of creating, deleting, formatting and resizing any Mac volume along with boot volume.

Many Mac users take boot drive partitioning a very difficult task and stay away with the fear of data loss. But, this utility also works well on partitioning/resizing boot volume with data still on it. In case of making dual boot system, new partition can be created and different OS can be installed. For this it asks for creating a bootable DVD before initiating partition management process.

Here are many cases, where Disk Utility fails to create partition, delete or format drive volume. Even this software can partition an external drive without loosing any existing data. All you need to just connect an external drive with your Mac machine and run Stellar Partition Manager software. Select the external drive in left pane. Click on 'Add' button. Mention the name & size of the partition you want to create. This tool takes care of the rest of the tasks and lets you relax.

Although, Disk Utility allows to perform all these Mac drive partitioning tasks but few errors like 'no disk space', 'failed to partition' or  'couldn't unmount disk' force Mac user to move towards an efficient and reliable third party software.
